U.S. House Votes to Extend Patriot Act
Rick Zeman writes "In the wake of today's 4 dud bombings in London, the U.S. House has voted to extend the Patriot Act by a vote of 257-171. This includes 10-year extensions to the two other provisions set to expire on December 31, one allowing roving wiretaps, and another allowing searches of library and medical records."

It starts being a conspiracy theory when you simply state facts and assume that in someway backs up your view.
"The list goes on" So continue the list? You were getting shaky by the end of it I suppose so you probably can't do so.
How about just maybe there are some fucked up people out there doing bad stuff because thats what they know to do, and the men and women who we elect are just trying to do their job and stop them?
Ever stop to think that it might be just that simple? No oil theories, no aliens, no secret governments..just normal people doing their day to day jobs (be it in government or as terrorists) and going about their lives killing time till they die?
People with your mentality often have skeletons of their own in the closet, Mr. Rove.
Well said, I wish I could piss on every single asshole we have as a government official.

An impeachment hearing about perjury, dunce. And you'll note that, in addition to not violating civil rights, he also did nothing else. Among the things he didn't do was attempt to defend our country or respond to the growing oragnization and temerity of our enemies. through the Clinton years Al Quada et al kept blowing up bigger and bigger things as they realized that tehy could get away with it. Clinton sat around seducing interns and let American citizens die without a blink, often even helping the incidents fade from the media by completely ignoring them days after they occurred. Well, he fed their confidence enough, and they found a really big target to knock over. Yeah. The glorious reign of the Democrat. Real nice legacy, there.
...it's really a sad day for America when we require a goddamn ACT OF CONGRESS to make our DVD players work properly. ~
