I'll take "WTF?!?" for $500, Alex....

This makes feel secure that we're not already a total police state.....

Senator: There Are Two Patriot Acts, And You Don't Know About One Of Them

http://www.businessinsider.com/senat...f-them-2011-10

Article lead:
"Senator Ron Wyden, who sits on the Intelligence Committee, explained that "there are two Patriot Acts in America."

One is the public one, a law whose text you can pull up on your Web browser.

But there's another one -- the "secret interpretation that the executive branch uses" to carry out its enforcement of the law."

What, the truth is a conspiracy theory? A senate committee member telss how, again, the Constitution doesn't mean shiite? That's 'conspiracy theory'? Well, boneheads like to use the term to poison the well, though the critical thinkers can see beyond it.

One has to wonder the basis for the weirdness of some of the stuff you write.

Ol' Dak is so on top of things that if he ain't seen it first hand, it can't be true.

I was there once, but I'm a lot dumber now.

I'm not trying to poison the well and maybe you need to stop being so sensitive to opposition?
A Democrat ratting on his own party's administration?

"Critical thinkers" don't attempt to second guess nor predict the future. More likely they are engaged in problem solving. Herman Cain is a critical thinker.

Are you speaking for yourself or projecting?

You kinda sound like a bully challenging his victim...

Maybe I misunderstand you. Are you rallying the troops? Where shall we assemble for you to lead us into battle oh great one??

What we have here is a failure to communicate.
