That's a cop-out, man. When Bush does it, it's evil. He's like Hitler attempting to take away all our civil rights. When Obama supports it, though, it's just an attempt to make us all safer.
FISA and the Patriot Act are like any other legislation that's supposedly designed to help us or make us safe. It's the government saying "We have to take your liberty away to save you." It's nothing but the destruction of our liberty, regardless of the politicians or the political parties involved.

And you believe this why, exactly? Just because it suits your political agenda?

Then why do you support the two major political parties in this country? Both of them generally support engaging in this behavior.
