Anti-Patriot Act Movement Expands
MFS! writes "Mount Shasta, California has become the latest city where the USA PATRIOT act is creating a controversy. This story at the Record-Searchlight describes petitioning by a local citizens' rights committee to order police to defy the PATRIOT act. To date, 3 states and 130 cities have passed legislation forbidding local authorities from cooperating with federal PATRIOT requests, not to mention the numerous businesses who are taking pains to hamper the Act's coverage."
First you make laws and then you tell people not to obey them...
Well, not my cup of tea, but makes me wonder the sanity... oh the sanity...
-Is the meaning of life vanity, or is vanity the meaning of life?
Both parties do the same things.. they only call it something different.
Same net result in either case: Fewer rights, higher taxes, more invasions.

Sorry to sound like a broken record, but...
I am SOOO glad I was born in Canada.

Who gives a fuck what an ashole from "outside" considers to be shocking?
You better start worrying about your own cities turining into muslim/africans/crime infested shitholes.
It is happening.
Sadly, your grammar is actually pretty good for a Democrat.
And even more sadly, your spelling is pretty good for a pigheaded propaganda swallowing fascist.
Whoever moderated your single sentence post as "Funny" has a strange sense of humor.
Remember that the Supreme Court essentially put Bushie in office, led by the three black-shirted, er, robed justices (Scalia, Rehnquist, and Clarence Tom). They ended the Florida recount and effectively appointed him "winner" of the 2000 election. There is a distinctly political tinge to some of the court's decisions, and I would not be surprised to see them uphold the Patriot Act, to please Der Fuhrer. He wants the right to run the "guvmint" as he sees fit, and civil liberties be damned. This is why it is so important for the Senate to keep Bushie's judicial appointments bottled up-- he wants to pack the courts with like-minded people.
Always look on the briight side of life! (whistle, whistle)
If you're breaking the law knowingly but hide behind the 10th ammendant you're just as bad as the Feds violating it. I welcome un-warranted wiretaps, search and seisure on a hunch and anything else which convicts the wrong. Fuck the people who get busted and cry "you didn't have a warrant". Shoot yourself now so you don't have to waste our tax dollars because of your stupidity.
Just say no to Republicans.
Well slavery obviously was a major issue as indicated by the fact that the entire quote was full of slavery referances.
If this was a Lincoln quote then why is it shown to be from T.T. Halls?
The race isn't always to the swift... but that's the way to bet!

It's old. The more humans I meet, the more I like my cats. At least they are honest.
So fucking what ? ..
You always karma-whore like that ?
There are lot of great people and what's even more interesting, they often tend who contradict each other
"So you are disagreeing with the dishonest fraud Michael Moore, and agreeing with the dishonest frauds Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter?"
No, they are quite factual. They are just vilified and tarred with all kinds of comments (incuding "liar") because they hold different opinions and draw different conclusions from their detractors.
Although they are good in theory, The orginaziation
has been captured by the extreme left wing which is why i am no longer a supporter. In other words they (the ACLU is over the edge.)
You will notice that what they support is a push for collectivism and a overall loss of indivudal rights.
Diplomacy is the art of saying "Nice doggie" until you can find a rock. Will Rogers
your disinformation is of NSA quality. Gore WON THE ELECTION. The vote tampering bears that out. Bush won in a state where his brother is Gov.? Fuck you, and burn in hell NWO antichrist lacky.
You are right the Supreme Court did not put Bush in office. His bro Jeb (gotta love the name) put him in office.
Jeb promised to deliver Florida and he did by appointing a crony as election commisioner and turns blacks and other traditionally democratic groups away from the polls.

l1berty4all , don't pay much attention. Crazed leftists mobocratically run this place. They moderate down any balanced thinking. 99.9% of the people who delve into the Slashdot comments section are raving liberals who are cynical, negative and largely unsuccessful and jealous of others with "more." (Notice a love for things such as IDE disks and IDE RAID, and lots of other cheap ass hardware. Indicating a large interest in things cheesy, cheap and inexpensive due to the fact the constituency of Slashdot is a bunch of cynical, negative ne'er-do-wells.)
Slashdot is the furthest thing from a meritocracy. While deluded idealists see this as a collective think tank, this collective couldn't run an lemonade stand without getting into philosophical flame wars, indecision and would create a giant bureaucracy and probably end up not paying the workers.
Slashbottng group thinkers who hate people like Chimpy Bush not for any real reason, but because they were told by "those in the know" (e.g. Salon.com aka slum.com) that's the right thing to do. And they hate nuclear power. They love Nader and Greenpeace. Anything vocal about something that doesn't actually DO ANYTHING is perfect for the leftists. Getting in the way of progress is essential by litigating the shit out of everything if so much as a flea gets hurt - especially if the progress is being made by someone who wants to MAKE MONEY, heaven forbid, at doing whatever it is that they do.
I'm slum through here from time to time to feel good that when I go looking for a job, I have to compete with morons like the ones found on Slashdot. Partially educated group thinking populists go with underdog at all costs why hypocritically enjoying the fruits of western culture and western society. Hard work, my friends, pays off. And it pays off in the western world, particularly in the US, like no other. Pissing whining and moaning about systems too complex to understand by one person like you have all the answers reveals the Slashdotting maniacs as the morons they are.
