    "cozied up to China" is MUCH different than taking our rights away and making the US government ACT like the Chinese government, all in the name of "homeland security".

    Having good trade relations with the most populous nation in the world is a good thing. Eroding rights through USA actions like the P.A.T.R.I.O.T. act - and Son of P.A.T.R.I.O.T. acts - is scary.
