that's funny, I thought the Republicans called Fox News FoxBS for their leftist bias?

Funny how the leftists say Fox leans to the right and the conservatives say Fox leans to the left.

There is some truth to what the troll is saying. Look at A Little More To The Right.

Socialism works. Why would one not want to have protections offered by socialism?

The last time USA and the world tried strict laissez-faire capitalism, the people ended up in a great depression. The only thing that saved capitalism the dose of FDR socialism.

On to the Constitution, the people have decided that taxes are the price one pays for government. There is not one word in the Constitution for or against socialism though welfare is mentioned!

That is because the government is allowing corporations to run them. When a business is being intrusive, that is because the customer signed their rights away. It's called 'read the fine print.' The government is not allowed to do so, but since the worthless are wanting the government to take money at gunpoint since the worthless think the world owes them a living they are actually asking for an intrusive governmnet.

Read more about it here.

If you think that kind of 'vs' is bad, take a look at this comment made by Neocon-man at the conservative discussion site, A Little More to the Right.

I agree with you bob, as was stated before on A little more to the right, internet access isn't even essential to live, and yet the whiny communist demoncrats call deregulation a 'vast right wing conspiracy'. What regulation boils down to is nothing more than communism.

If someone doesn't like what the phone company is doing, then they should simply go with a cell phone and cable broadband, or just simply install the cables themselves. Verizon, SBC, et al own the copper & fiber optic cables that make up the phone system, so if they don't want their customers to have DSL without phone service, then it's their God given right to do so. Hell, they don't even have to share their system with any CLEC. Then again, demoncrats prefer to bitch, moan, whine, and cry about a 'vast right wing conspiracy' controlling everything.

"It does not violate the constitution. It does NOT prevent you form doing ANYTHING at all. It monitors people who are on suspicious websites or checking out suspicious books. Have you read the Patriot Act from start to finish? Most people haven't and really have no idea what it says.

The latest embarrassment is the revelation that the Department of Justice has not invoked the Patriot Act's Section 215 - a section of the act that the ACLU crowd claims has turned the FBI into a library-raiding Gestapo.
What, in reality, is Section 215? It's a relatively innocuous provision of the Patriot Act that allows law enforcement to obtain, after getting approval from a judge, documents from third parties - your credit card company, for example - if they're pertinent to a terrorism investigation. (#)
Not only has the government never used 215, but the section doesn't even mention libraries - or any of the other secular holy sites allegedly imperiled by it.
At minimum, critics should stop talking about the Patriot Act's "trampling of rights" in the present tense. And lest they claim that they are being "vigilant" in the face of potential threats, someone should remind them that vigilance is fine, but lying and fear-mongering is crying wolf.
The Section 215 bashing is just the latest in an ongoing campaign to make up a problem out of the Patriot Act that does not exist. I'm sure you've heard that the Patriot Act also permits, in the words of Nick Gillespie of Reason magazine, "spying on the Web browsers of people who are not even criminal suspects." Errr, wrong. The Patriot Act actually toughens the standards by which the government can snoop on electronic communications.
Before the Patriot Act, there was no settled law on whether the government - or for that matter, some random stalker or Amazon.com - could acquire that kind of information. The Patriot Act made it a crime for the government or anybody else to pry into your e-mail without getting a court order.
(#) Well, it's a good thing the Patriot Act requires the DOJ's inspector general to investigate civil rights complaints.
The last report, issued over the summer, found that there were 34 "credible" allegations of abuse out of 1,037 claims made over a six-month period (note: that's allegations, not convictions).
And most of these "credible" but unproven allegations involved such horrors as verbal harassment of prisoners by prison guards. That's not nice and it shouldn't happen, but it's hardly 1930s Germany.
The complaints of lost civil rights go on.
We hear about prisoners "kept in secret" when they're really not. Rather, the government won't release their names to the media - or to the terrorists who are keen to find out such information. However, the prisoners themselves - through their lawyers or families - are free to release their names.
The ACLU says that the feds can secretly enter your home while you're out and rifle through your files, underwear drawer, whatever. Well, that's true, if the cops get a warrant first and notify you later.
If that scares you, I'm sorry. But it's hardly something new.

We have been doing these things for years to catch the maufia and organized crime and people either didn't care or had no problem or were to ignorant to know. Now because it is Bush they whine like babies.

Now if you want to get into the FBI storming into libraries to demand patrons' reading lists. They can and already could do this before the patriot act. all the need to do is securing grand jury subpoenas, For terror cases, investigators must petition judges on the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court. "It's a much, much bigger hassle to do that than it is for a grand-jury investigator t

Bob, thank you for giving me yet another reason to avoid voting for anyone in the loony Libertarian Party.

Other appear to share how I feel, Dennis "USA1patriot" Humbird wrote "At one time, I was a Libertarian, before they went left wacko with all sorts of garbage as a platform."

Now I can see what he's talking about

Ah, just like any other demoncrat, if you can't debate, you troll. Internet Access is a luxury, not a necessity. Like I said before, the ILEC owns the copper & the fiber optic cables as well as the equipment & buildings, so they have every right to prevent any CLEC from using their property. Of course, demoncrats are nothing more than relabeled communists due to the fact that they believe "Private Property" shouldn't even exist.

As for 'Holier than thou', a fellow Republican has the perfect saying "You're know you're a liberal when "Separation of Church and State" is your mantra -- but you think legislating when and where Christians can worship and taxing churches are just fine and dandy."

Sounds to me like you communist demoncrats are the ones that are 'Holier than thou'.

Another thing that irks me, is Linux, yes, that Commie Run Operating System by the Commie Linus Torvalds "He is from Communist Finland", which should be arrested by the Patriot Act because it is his nuts that is destroying our economy by trying to have our great nation to Communism.
