Your statement above JG just points up how little you obviously know about how the Patriot Act is singlehandedly the largest assault on our Constitutional rights ever contained within a single piece of legislation

Hey Mach, as the sayin goes "The proof's in the pudding". If ya wanna start flingin accusations about someone elses position or ideologies it would serve you well to be able to document them. Otherwise your point is less than moot, it's actually non-existent and simply divisive at the same time.

I've written entries here that were at times in agreement with specific Bush era policies and tactics so does that also make me an overall Bush supporter and then by your reasoning also place me in agreement with the Patriot Act .... HARDLY.

The tactic of "guilt by associative logic" is not only a stretch but its tenets wither in the harsh light of reasonable/logical inspections based in provable reality
