Forums - General - We know President Bush assailed our freedoms with Patriot Act...

Why? Because I already have seen what's going to happen. There's going to be a VIOLENT uprising soon - maybe not in months, but within a few years' time, there will be massive violence. So, things will change soon.

The Patriot Act needs to go the fuck away as soon as possible. Democrats I thought would have tried something already =/

Time to oil the good ol' guillotine. Heads must roll from time to time, some heads of state (hé ^^) should not mess with democracy.

That would be because both sides have an agenda.  If ya haven't noticed, if your party is in power you support them to death and do damage control.  If they are out of power, you bitch, moan, and complain about everything they do.  Just how it seems to work.  

So yea I don't like the direction they are looking into with the internet.  I hate all the controls there is with television as it is, but shouldn't touch the internet.  And like Kaz said, that the PATRIOT Act is still there, pisses me off a lot.  

Yeah, the whole Patriot act and Fiza thing was one of the main reasons I voted for Obama.

Literally it was 2 main things.

1) I thought he would get rid of the Patriot Act.

2) He was black.  Sounds dumb I know... but him and McCain both looked like they were going to mess up the country, so may as well pick the guy who is going to have special significance for like a third of the country or so.  In general it was worth it just for the reaction a lot of african americans had when he was elected.  i remember seeing some people crying with joy over the first black president.  Race shouldn't of mattered, but it did... and it was a good thing.

 

I mean, i've literally got zero to hide as I tend to live a really open really boring life but the Patriot act and Fisa are just disgraceful.  One of those things that bugs me on a principle stance rather then an actual effecting me stance.


Well yea I was hoping him and the democrats would actually get rid of the Patriot Act, but obviously never happened or really even considered.  Makes me very unhappy.

And yea it was nice to see a black president elected.  I was pretty happy when it happened.  I mean it shouldn't matter but obviously it goes into account just like other things such as religion.  I mean I understand why they look at religion, but I think we should all realized now that your religious affiliation has nothing to do with the quality of their moral fiber.  

Oh well I suppose.  Hopefully one day we'll get some people in government who have enough will to do the right thing in protecting the rights of its citizens from things like that.  Not worry about backlash but simply do the right thing.  Forget politically correct and do what is actually correct.  Guess we are asking for too much eh.

All our early presidents were Deists anyway.  Granted nobody ever cops to that though....

Yeah eh, maybe we should move to New Zealand like Mafoo, ha.

Scenary would be nicer... I think their Nintendo distribution sucks though.

Yea they were all deists.  Smart guys too haha.  

New Zealand would be nice, but as stated wouldn't be able to get my Ninty games as easily haha.  That would be an issue.

Why?  Most national level elected Democrats have voted for it or something similar over and over again.

They don't tend to be big supporters of the US Constitution, libertarianism or liberties at all.

And we all know the sexual assaults from the TSA

Doesn't matter who is in power because it's all about power and staying in power

No I am not accessorize  with tin foil hats...well maybe sometimes 

Not repealing the Patriot Act has been my biggest dissapointment with Obama.  I'm not sure whether he wants the federal govt to have this power or he just doesn't want to appear weak on terrorism.  Either way, it's ridiculous.

Equally alarming for me was the Citizen United Supreme Court decision.  Mainly because the only way to overturn this would be via a constitutional admendment, which would be nearly impossible to pass in this political climate.

Not so much having something to hide, more so how it goes against everything this nation was founded on. Our government has become the oppressor the colonists fought against over 200 years ago.
