| Big brother is watching. All hail Big Brother! and it's not camersa, it's telescreens. Better check behind your mirrors and AC vents.
Yawn. Another scare mongering story in an attempt to frighten. Is it an election year again? So soon? I smell liberal/democrat scare tactics.
As if the ISP's wouldn't fight something like this tooth and nail not only because of cost, but because it's in their interests to protect their subscribers privacy. I doubt the public would go for it either. |

| Next thing you know they are going to keep track of what we eat and drink. Sometimes there has to be risks involved. Too much protection is a bad thing. |

I smell a conservative/republican post here.
Are you for real? This, a liveral/democrat scare tactic? Besides the fact that almost NONE of the congress members read the original patriot act that they signed into law, this has republican scare tactic all over it. If you pay attention to most of the news out there, Democrats largely oppose this extension of the Patriot act.
This act was started by a republican in the first place, so how is this a democrat scare?
As my signature here, let me post the definition from the Federal Government of the patriot act...
"An act to deter and punish terrorist acts in The United States and around the world, to enhance law enforcement investigatory tools, and for other purposes..."
Other purposes?? WTF? Anyone that doesn't understand that the Patriot Act is an erosion of civil liberties is crazy. Anyone that doens't believe that the Patriot Act is not constitutional, in many areas, needs to study the constitution more.
The first act got passed; but it was passed on emotion of the times.. 6 weeks after the 9/11 attacks. The second one? I am sure it will have action groups challenging it in the courts. It will be a political pull and used as a tool to smear the other side politically, however, it will get challenged. There are many reason the first one never got challenged... and also to note, the patrio act HAS been used against people in the U.S. for other reasons that terrorism.... "in the name of law"... |
