Yet Another Reason to Repeal The Patriot Act
« on: January 17, 2006, 08:42:23 PM »
I check the mail today and found a letter from the Texas DPS. Since I have a CDL (Commercial Driver License) with a HazMat endorsement the provisions of the Patriot Act directly affect me and my wallet.

Seems I might be a terrorist and must undergo a background check by DHS. Normally this wouldn't bother me since I'm not a terrorist. The problem is I have to pay $73 for the background check or they will revoke my license. None of the money is for the actual license, just the background check.

What a crock. Does anyone think a terrorist will actually take the time to have his fingerprints taken, get a CDL and drive a truckbomb into New York? Or will they simply steal a truck and turn it into a truckbomb? :noid

What's the deal, dredlock, you some sort of terrorist lover?

I think the word here is 'unfunded mandate'.  

Of course, it's sad that people aren't outraged at the Patriot Act until it affects them directly.

Mark your calendar... 9/12 was the day that a great country got overrun by a bunch of chicken*** s.

It's just a question now if anyone's got the 'nads to take it back.

As a country, you've faced far worse. FAR worse. You have stood up to it and have always prevailed. You didn't need any encroachment on your freedoms in order to prevail.

Your government is turning you into a bunch of frightened girls. It's pathetic. Don't buy it.

Was that the day a bunch of Canadians crossed the border? Were you their leader?

"Just pay your money and thank the government for not taking more."

 That's very unpatriotic.  Your kind of thinking gives comfort to the enemy and stinks of "pinko-commie-rugheaded_terrorist_loving" sedition.

 If he truly loved America, the Republican party, Mom and apple pie he'd write out a nice phatt campaign donation check to "The Party" at the same time.
