Middle east outcome

I just re-read the the Patroit Act that Barry says takes our personal freedoms away. It does not authorize any intrusion into citizens lifes.

It does allow for civil penalties if the courts feel it has been done. It does allow the government to take steps to protect our way of life. It is not a perfect document...But it is a good start.

Well, in your frantic scramble to read all the patriot act, and its hundreds of associated articles, you seemed to have missed a few key points. Follow the links, and read up on the truth. I doubt you will, as you wouldn't want the government knowing you visited a liberal website.
The Patriot Act increases the governments surveillance powers in four areas:

1. Records searches. It expands the government's ability to look at records on an individual's activity being held by a third parties. (Section 215)
2. Secret searches. It expands the government's ability to search private property without notice to the owner. (Section 213)
3. Intelligence searches. It expands a narrow exception to the Fourth Amendment that had been created for the collection of foreign intelligence information (Section 218).
4. "Trap and trace" searches. It expands another Fourth Amendment exception for spying that collects "addressing" information about the origin and destination of communications, as opposed to the content (Section 214).Link

Why the Patriot Act's expansion of records searches is unconstitutional
Section 215 of the Patriot Act violates the Constitution in several ways. It:

* Violates the Fourth Amendment, which says the government cannot conduct a search without obtaining a warrant and showing probable cause to believe that the person has committed or will commit a crime.
* Violates the First Amendment's guarantee of free speech by prohibiting the recipients of search orders from telling others about those orders, even where there is no real need for secrecy.
* Violates the First Amendment by effectively authorizing the FBI to launch investigations of American citizens in part for exercising their freedom of speech.
* Violates the Fourth Amendmentby failing to provide notice - even after the fact - to persons whose privacy has been compromised. Notice is also a key element of due process, which is guaranteed by the Fifth Amendment. Link.It doesn't seem so harmless to me.

Barry... WW did not give a backhanded slap at you...But you seem to pass them out on a regular basis. Nobody has brought name calling into this except you. You may have gone to college...But you flunked People Skills 101.

Actually, he did take a backhanded dig at me, and I returned in kind.
And, now the upstanding conservative hero, has also taken a jab. Welcome to the place where all of us liberal college flunkies hang out.

You also made the statment lets build bunkers to keep the boogieman out. Well my friend...Nobody else here has been running around saying the sky is falling except you. Guess you better build one.

Actually, you've misunderstood my post, AGAIN. Maybe a remedial course on reading comprehension is in order?
What was said: If you, and your rrw fearmongering masters, are so afraid of the terrorists attacking you in your home, repeal the fucking bullshit patriot act, and build yourselves a deep bunker to move into instead. That way the rest of us, who have a pair swinging, don't have to give up our Constitutional Rights just for a bunch of pussies.
And, if the shoe fits, wear it.
