How many of your friends and neighbors have been carried off in the middle of the night because of Bushs'..??

Question

Patriot act, and the war on terror ???

Answer 1

LMAO Perfect question. I just got done emailing someone who thought that his constitutional rights were being violated and that was MORE important than the war on TERROR. I challenged him to name one right that he has lost personally. Well, no return email yet. Nor do I expect any logical one to come my way. LMAO
Your question is great. And NONE of my ( laughing my a_s off while typing this) friends or neighbors have been carried off in the night because of President Bushs' war on terror. Which is really OUR WAR ON TERROR..... .. .when can we get the foolish folk to learn?

Things that make you go HMMMMMMMM


EDIT* - I don't believe the posting directly above me. How could anyone sue the Federal Government and win a decision in such a short time. I think some radicals have hijacked her mind. Either that, or she has misunderstood the facts.

EDIT* - I just read all the posts. Incredible that snotty nosed fools didn't 'get the the true meaning' of your question.

Answer 2

You may have talked to someone in Pakistan, or Asia if you have called Customer Service. If the Government was listening the last two times i talked to Customer Service, bet they got a good laugh. On second thought they may have thought it was a coded call. Half the time don't believe we were talking about the same thing. BUT the FBI has not come a visiting, and I can't with any accuracy tell anybody what was said.

Answer 3

I know a whole house of people who were escorted out of their home at night, had their property seized, and their privacy violated under the authority of the PATRIOT ACT. I've spoken to a number of the individuals who lived in this house -- a co-op in Pomona, CA -- who described the personal possession taken by the FBI (including computers, books, one girl's senior thesis from college, and underwear among other things), being forced to sit outside on the sidewalk without knowing why un-identified authorities were rooting through their home. One resident, Josh Connole, was wrongly accused of torching a Hummer dealership in Covina and as a result he and everyone he lived with was treated like a terrorist. Luckily for him, his name was eventually cleared and, after suing the government for violation of his 4th amendment rights, he actually got a $100,000 settlement from the justice dept and another guy was eventually convicted for the crime. So, I guess there is still a bit of justice left in the US, just very little under the Bush admin. Americans need to stand up for the rights that our founding fathers gave us!!!

To "bottles" below who does not believe this story. Quoting the New York Times in November 2005:

"The F.B.I. has agreed to pay $100,000 to an environmentalist who sued the agency after he was wrongly arrested in 2003 and accused of fire-bombing or vandalizing 125 sport utility vehicles in the Los Angeles area, lawyers for both sides said. The environmentalist, Josh Connole, 27, was freed and exonerated after four days in jail and a raid on his home by 50 investigators."

Answer 4

0 - zero.. My neighbors and friends are law abiding citizens. So I don;t think the NSA has any interest listening to me talk to my parents or listning to my neighbors talking to other PTA members. I think they have more to do than that. So how is the Patriot infringing on my benefits as a law abiding citizen? It's not.

If I were a terrorist, a Criminal etc..Then I would naturally be against the Patriot Act. Because that means the USA government can hear me make a call to Yeman about an attack somewhere in the world. Or that may mean the USA can listen to me make a call to Columbia about a drug deal..or a drug hit (kill). If I was a Democrat I would be against it..??wait a minute? Why are the Dems against it? what's to worry if they are law abiding citizens?

Answer 5

Some of my own relatives have been carried off in the night because of trees and hedges too, not just the Bushes. It is such a shame you can't hardly sleep anymore because of the damned foliage.

Answer 6

None that I know of, but then again, because of the patriot act and Bush's policies there is absolutely NOTHING stopping Bush from doing so. That is what scares me.

Answer 7

so far none of my fri..............help!!!!!! Seriously it's not whether or not you are carted off in the middle of the night but if it shouldn't be legal to do so. Our forefathers set up a government that was of the people for the people and by the people we have a constitution and a bill of rights to protect us from a government gone bad. they believed in civil liberties and human rights and due process. We are Americans and we are entitled to these protections and we damn well better get them back!

Answer 8

How many of your friends have been attacked by terrorists? Does this then mean terrorists aren't a threat?

How many of your friends are have stepped on the moon? Does this mean no one has stepped on the moon?

Of course not.

Your logic is flawed.

Answer 9

None of mine. But those guys in the white coats that are coming to take you away, they are from the mental hosptial, not the government.

Answer 10

All of my terrorist friends have been carried off because of infidel Bush. Praise Allah.
