It hasn't done anything to MY fundamental American rights. But then, I'm a proud flag-waver, so what can I possibly know, right? :S
People have a problem with the gov. tapping into e-mails/phone conversations, but they fail to realize that the less they say anything incriminating, the sooner the gov. will see how unaffective their actions are and change direction to something more useful.

No, but many Americans abuse the freedom they have to bash America in general, our military and Bush and not focus on the real enemy...Islamic terrorism. This aides and comforts the enemy.

fear of terrorism is a wide spread disease.in here in the middle east have the fear of terror more than the west
especially once Regan and bush the father had Mada an army of bin laden and group.American trained them,financed them giving them weapons making those huge tunnels for them,as a result they won the war against Russia resulting for the col laps of soviet union.
they were trained organized and even more many western countries gave them to carry that's country identity meaning :passport,and housing,wages,free movement.
in short America went to all Muslim countries and have all fundamentalists gathering them in Pakistan to attack Russians in Afghanistan

The erosion of civil rights through fear of terrorism is a continuation of the erosion of civil rights through the fear of communism. Oftentimes freedom and security are mutually exclusive, and, sadly, many people seem to prefer security when such circumstances arise.

My fellow Americans, it’s official now: We live in a fascist nation.
Now, the term "fascist" has been thrown around over the last fifty years in a loose way that has drained it of much of its meaning. If someone wanted to cut 5% off of a leftist professor's favourite welfare programme, the professor would call his opponent a "fascist." I’m not using the word like that. I mean honest-to-goodness, old-fashioned, 1930s style fascism, featuring such old favourites as:

Not at all. Name one person you know who has been affected in a negative way by the Patriot Act.
I didn't think so...

No, I don't think so. Do you have any examples of rights being infringed? Tighter airport security? I'm glad we have it.

yes. The terror alert hasn't been in the green since it was created. It is in GWB's best interest to keep fear alive in this country.
