yay.
now you'll have to bring your passport to Rite Aid when you buy Sudafed.
Quote:The reauthorized Patriot Act includes new tools to combat the manufacture and distribution of methamphetamine. It will require retailers to place cold medicines with pseudoephedrine -- a key ingredient of the illegal drug -- behind counters, and would set limits on each person's monthly and daily purchases. Buyers would have to identify themselves and sign for their purchases.

it's probably a good thing. I can live with inferior decongestant products as long as it keeps the evildoers from detonating a pseudoephedrine bomb in Times Square. |

is meth hillbilly crack, or is oxicontin hillbilly heroin?
Which is better in your opinion?
If a hillbilly hides his stash in the back of his overalls, is he hiding his hillbilly heroin in his hillbilly crack? |

Yes, Dr. and still a majority of Congress still voted for its reauthorization.
The last time they voted for it (then bitched about it) they later blamed it on "political pressure" after 9/11. What is their excuse this time?
I am glad to see that you regard the PA as "something wrong in this world" but terrorism you don't.
Great priorities...

The Patriot Act is just like Iraq, a wet dream of the radical right which 9/11 allowed them to jam through the system. It's got virtually nothing to do with 9/11 because it's all stuff that they wanted to do anyway. Security at ports and chemical plants, or energy independence, isn't part of the plan, alas for us here in eastern New Jersey. |

Such irony! (or is it "morony?" The government has to pretend to be doing something useful, and to fool the idiots who believe them. True to the wingnut slogan, "freedom isn't free." These "patriotic" acts are definately taking away our freedom. Let's let the terrorists do this to us, and cheer it on to boot. Forget about Bin Laden. We got Saddam!!! We are winning the "war on terror!" Lets turn over our ports to the UAE! It all makes so much sense (if your brain isthe size of a peanut or you are in complete denial). Just don't think about the generations of hatred that we created for our childrens future. |

Clever idea to resort to name calling. Actually, you are the one who is following the ignorant masses that have permiated our society on a mission to self destruct in the name of greed and ignorance, so you should change your name to lemming and act like a real Patriot, not a monkey on a string who dances whenever he's given a banana. |

So, I guess you don't believe in disagreement. Where did you get the term greed from? You libs are hilarious. If someone disagrees with you use terms like llama has used in its last two posts. That is why the American people reject you. You act as if you want an honest debate yet the minute someone shares an opposing view you resort to names. This is hilarious. Long live the Patriot Act and the erosion of civil rights! |

Southerner: Actually, I think llama nailed it. Except the term "greed" is all relative. For instance, you might be described as "greedy" for having not one but two toilets on your frontyard. |

So, I call you a lemming and you see that as name calling. You libs are priceless. When did calling someone a lemming become derogatory. If you took it that way then you were looking for an argument. You can call me a lemming any time and it won't upset me. If I believe in the issue, then call me and the millions who agree with me a lemming and I will say Thank You. Do you get upset when I call you a liberal? Shouldn't you be proud. I love it when you guys call me a Neo-con because that is a great moniker.
And RL, I may or may not have mulitple toilets in my yard. Either way, when I gotta go I know where to go (and the seat is rarely cold). |

Anyway, back to the renewed “Patriot” Act.(or the "Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism” (USA PATRIOT) Act. The thread title “Bush Wins Again” may be a misnomer.
There should have been more changes before it was renewed. However, while the President obtained the renewal of a modified “Patriot” Act, the fact that it’s been reauthorized has removed a MAJOR campaign issue that the Republicans would use against the Democrats.
How so, you may ask?
Well, opponents of the “Patriot” Act took issue with some of its provisions because they believed those measures were not “Appropriate Tools”, were not “Required”, and certainly weren’t actually ”Uniting and Strengthening America”. It was hard to have a real debate about that, though, since Administration supporters would often respond in a way similar to the response of a poster earlier in this thread: “I am glad to see that you regard the [“Patriot” Act] as 'something wrong in this world' but terrorism you don't.”
Administration supporters had linked attempts to fix the flaws in the “Patriot” Act to being “pro-terrorist”. Remember the "Osama" ads that were run against Max Cleland? So, while the Act should have been fixed more, now that it has been reauthorized, that “pro-terrorist” argument can be junked.
The renewal did make some changes to the old act. The provisions covering “National Security Letters” have been modified. Those “Letters” are the investigative tools used to obtain information from internet service providers, libraries, universities and other institutions. Under the changes, recipients of National Security Letters will now have the right to challenge them in court (they could not, before). Also, recipients of court-approved subpoenas for information in terrorist investigations can now challenge the “gag” requirement that kept them from telling anyone.
Furthermore, the provisions on “National Security Letters” may still be changed. Senator Specter has indicated that he will propose further changes. The debate on those changes will be more focused, and probably better able to address whether the NSLs are overreaching.
Maybe that debate can take place without the Administration supporters labeling people “pro-terrorist”, like they did before. |

Southerner,
I just have to say, I have a close friend who is a writer and quite capable comedy writer when it's required. He started trolling on a national political thread to create a body of work, kind of like the Jerky Boys meets serious political blog. The stuff was hysterical. I'd read the stuff and cry laughing. It was over the top. He had to stop basically because people actually took him seriously and he was getting threats and such, and well, he decide it wasn't worth it. I could not believe people took him seriously. People went nuts though.
Do you write to evoke a response, or to share your political views?
Llama says: "Forget about Bin Laden. We got Saddam!!! We are winning the "war on terror!" Lets turn over our ports to the UAE! It all makes so much sense (if your brain is the size of a peanut or you are in complete denial). Just don't think about the generations of hatred that we created for our children's future."
Do you honestly not see the point that is being made? Or are you too, trying to create a body of work, except not funny, but tragic?

ae,
I don't owe you any explanation. I've tried in the past and have given up. Let's just get it out of the way for you and you can begin calling me names if you like. I like Bush, I like his policies, and I like most of what he has done. I don't need to go issue by issue. You can have your opinion and I'll have mine. If you agree with llama and that paragraph then fine. I don't need to refute it. The election results refute it. I don't feel the need to discuss ad naseum why liberals are wrong. It is obvious they are wrong which is why they have not only been thrown out of power, but have been destroyed as a party the last two elections. I know the Presidential elections were close but look at the entire country. Governorships, State Legislatures, the Congress have all seen huge Republican gains. I have no problem reading yours and llama's posts, but don't assume you are correct. But if you want to be the type of poster like llama who calls anyone who disagrees "ignorant" then please do. I'll read it, get a chuckle, and then give you a reality check. And the shame for your side is the American people never left you. The Democratic Party left the American people. If you can't see it, then I can understand why you don't know how to take my posts. And lastly, in regards to llamas post, Arabs have been screaming death to America for generations. We haven't created any new enemies. They've been there the entire time. |

Damn, Southerner, why you gotta be hatin' on Arabs? Talk about ignorant. Sorry, I know I tease you a lot but that statement really is ignorant. Arabs have NOT been screaming Death to America. Islamic militants have. It's no wonder you have no problem with Bush. Man, I'm glad your type lives far away from the civilized world. |

As opposed to honest and informed. Lib basically called us a bunch of humorless suckers yesterday and to some extent Lib is right. You can get your barbs in, but back it up, or at least crack me up. I'm not saying you're not honest and I'm not saying you're not informed, but sometimes I wonder about these threads.......
