Bush didn't take away any civil rights. He *gave* civil rights. NOYB
would
not have said Bush took away our civil rights. Now, he may have taken
away
the civil rights of some terrorists, but that's a different story.

The Patriot Act meddles with civil rights established for all citizens
in
the constitution. To disagree with this means you are either mentally
impaired, or a traitor to this country. Choose one.


And which of your civil rights did you lose?

You and others love to ask that question. It's the same as this: "If
you're
not doing anything wrong, you have nothing to worry about". That is an
affront to the principles on which this country was founded. If you don't
understand that, then 100% of what you've said about serving your country
in
the military is a farce. You have no idea what you were serving for.
Thomas
Jefferson would rip you a new asshole for your failure to understand.
Then,
he'd send you to Benjamin Franklin for another dressing-down.


I asked which rights you'd lost, not which you were willing to give up.
You
implied the Patriot Act cost you civil rights. Well, back up your
statement, or else you just sound like Harry, another whiner.


Among other things, the Patriot Act (which you have not read from end to
end) includes meddling with habeas corpus. If one citizen loses that
right, every citizen loses that right.

Does this look familiar?

"I, (NAME), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend
the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and
domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same;"

Did Abe Lincoln take that same oath before he suspended habeus corpus?

And I suspect a lot more people's "rights" were infringed upon by Lincoln.
