I see the Patriot Act as a reasonable construct of law that gives reasonable powers to those whose duty is to protect Americans from their enemies. I don't see it as being a danger to any of my civil rights as guaranteed by the US Constitution. But then I know what the US Constitution says and you have demonstrated your ignorance of it in the past.

I view the Patriot Act as a threat to the freedom of my children and their children. Everything the neocons have pushed through, I view as such. There's been an unquestionable spike in the erosion of freedom and representation since 9/11. The progenitor of this erosion stands to gain from such erosion. The intent to erode freedom was an OBVIOUS goal of 9/11. Why the f--k are dubyaMD bush and his neoconmen cronies playing right into the hands of those who wish this erosion of American principles???????????
