If there was one legitimate instance of an American being denied their rights under the Patriot Act, it will be headline news 24/7 until election day. You can take that to the bank. Since there is utter silence in the liberal MSM, there is no there, there.

Well, let's just say that if I want to read anything I want, and something within that wide, wide goal triggers the FBI to visit me, I think it is BS. Now, if all I am checking out from the MIT library of Nuke physics is "how to assemble a nuke for dummies" then maybe they should come a callin. I am very much against the gov't monitoring us, visiting us, searching our houses and not having to tell us, ya know stuff like that. I think the Patriot Act opened that door just a bit, and I think soemone's foot will be securely within that opening soon. I do not think those behind the Patriot Act are necessarily concerned with the Rights of you and I. I am cautious where this type of law is concerned. It strikes me as very wrong.
