We know one thing for sure tho, bush abused his power when he was in office. With Obama we'll see but to tell you the truth Im not worried. I think he'll do fine. You may not think so but you have your opinion and I have mine.
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 I agree 100%. I dont remember what president it was that said something to the effect of 'If you have to give up ANY freedom for the sake of safety, then your no long free'
And you believe this why, exactly? Just because it suits your political agenda?Not at all
Then why do you support the two major political parties in this country? Both of them generally support engaging in this behavior.

I sure as hell dont support both parties. The last time I looked, the Lib. party and Ron Paul were doing so hot in this country and never will because the media wont allow it. I just picked the lesser of two evils
