Dont take his word for it go read the patriot act... Then read that crap and decide for yourself if that somehow makes americans any safer....
It quite obvious the PA 1 was a rush job..Im all for 99% of the Patriot act if it had checks and balances... With no checks and balances it could (note could) be used to turn our current oligarchy democracy to straight despotism florida election style in about 1-2 yrs....

DoctorYo is deemed undesirable for this post and others... (Aka carnivore)
DoctorYo rides pine in some Fema craphouse for reeducation. Sound like a fairy tale read some history it happened before,(ask japanese about ww2 how peter pan its sounds to them.) it will happen again.. History repeats itself all the time..
Conspiracy theory or not.. The patriot act treads on long time civil liberties.
Im against the PA 1 no checks and balances = no law....
Im really against PA2 the one that really opens my eyes...
