Another of Bush's gems. The Patriot Act to spy on us and Homeland Security as the secret police who have special powers that transcend our constitutional rights.

Anyone still thinks that DHS and the Patriot Act are not only the patriotic thing to do, but actually exist to make us safe?

The concept may have been good, but. Remember this is the Federal Government and they can't be trusted even with out taxes. It was wrong then and it's wrong now!

I'm glad people realize it now, but it's a shame so many of us were fooled back then. I actually thought the Patriot Act was a good idea until around 2004 when the details of what was in it actually started to slowly get reported.

Kinda reminds me of another DC boondoggle....The Affordable Care Act!

uhhhh, I think it's 2013 as we speak about today's happenings.

You can lay off the crusades, conquistadors, and slavery too while you're discussing today's issues.

A little intellectual honesty is a fine thing.
