i think you all are missing that the patriot act does more than just allow a person to be detained for purpose of suspected threat to the state.
It allows agencies to share information regarding individuals or orginizations so that they can make clearer decisions based on more factual information.
Before anyone is survailed, they must first obtain a court order in which they must provide a burden of proof that the person is conducting in a mater which alerts to suspicion. may this lead to racial profiling? it may, but fuck radical muslims. the raghead killers in other countries profile all christians as infidel who need to be killed.
When this country has a federal court that says animals have the right to sue human beings and a lawyer can represent an animal in a law suit, we have gone too far. and im not sayign that muslims are animals, im referring to actual court rulings regarding pets/animals.
Get off your high fucking horse that everyone has complete freedom to do whatever they want. I for one have no problem with someone questioning my patriotism because i am patriotic. The only people who have anything to fear are the ones who are a THREAT to the STATE.
