Patriot Act ... part 2... WTF?!

I promised myself to knock of the political postings here but this one got me so angered, I couldn't stop myself.  I guess it's time to move to Amsterdam or what-not soon.

Patriot Act ... part 2... WTF?!

The sad thing is that this is old news, all the way back from January, but just like the (evil) Bush empire planned, very few people know about it.

It seems while Saddem was being captured, Bush signed in a MUCH larger version of the Patriot act which continues to expand government powers to extremes.  Can anybody smell search & sierzure, even if you aren't suspected of a crime?!

And for all the political sheep (iow morons) who think this is all in the name of safety so it's ok should read the last line, which is one of the smartest political comments I've read in months...

The Bush Administration has yet to answer pivotal questions about its latest constitutional coup: If these new executive powers are necessary to protect United States citizens, then why would the legislation not withstand the test of public debate? If the new act's provisions are in the public interest, why use stealth in ramming them through the legislative process?

Read up here.

My next biggest fear is that if re-elected, Bush will enact some form of gun control.  And if you are blind enough to think that's a good thing, time to do your homework.

This kind of crap is the reason I have never been interested in politics. I know they try to control how I live etc. so it should be important to get involved in issues like this, but I don't see that changing a whole lot unless you're part of the house or senate (and even then it's still iffy...). I prefer the stance of you just pass whatever you want and I'll do what I want and when we hit a problem, we'll deal with it then... I would like to see then try to put into motion very strict gun control laws... I can see plenty of people very willing to hand over their guns if the government can get it out of their hands without being shot in the process. :)
