#1 "overriding fears" ... "civil liberties concerns"

Given that there is not one instance of abuse to point at and cry "Wolf!", the wank-o-matics continue their lame pathetic innuendo memery. Sorry, SFGate, you'll have to surrender to dhimmitude without dragging the rest of us down with you. So sad. Now fuck the fuck off you fucking fuckwits.

#2 The police in China have about a billion more powers granted to them than the Patriot Act (worst name ever) grants, and I wouldn't call China a "police state".

#3 Not sure Falun Gong, Catholics or the folks who ended up under tanks in Tianamen Square would would agree with you there, G. And irregardless of the merits of the Patriot Act (doesn't seem to be the source of many actual problems to me), since when is "hey, we're better than China" good enough?

#4 I actually don't like the "permanent" part. I would rather Congress had an up-or-down vote every few years. Of course, I think they should do that with the income tax, too...

#5 One question. Do you want Hillary Clinton and a Jannet Reno with the Patriot Act?
