Anti-Patriot Act Movement Expands

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the behold-the-swinging-pendulum dept.

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."

    That was pretty much the case up until the Civil War; then a Certain President who everyone seems to worship pretty much put us on the long, painful spiral to our current disgusting state.

    Since it is possible to tell everything about a person from a single /. post, I'd like to point out that your counting skills are actually quite good for a neo-nazi cannibal soccer mom... who votes Republican.

    There are no constitutional rights to privacy.

    Yeah, yeah, and "Americans enjoy many freedoms not guaranteed or protected by the constitution". I wish you people (and your apologists) would just hurry up and die.

    Nope, Im pretty liberal myself. And I know what a bible thumper is, people who dont think for themselves generaly. You know, when you were a little kid unable to defend yourself from the non-sense of religion, your parents told you its what you believed and since then youve gone on with the warm fuzzy feeling in your stomach. But dont worry, theres hope. I was indoctrinated into christianity to but I managed to free my mind hopefully you can do the same some day and help us to rid the world of the plauge of religion that has doomed the world for hundreds of thousands of years. Then and only then will we have peace among men.
