I DONT GET...If cons say Liberals are communist than who made up the PATRIOT ACT?

Question

PATRIOT ACT is more communist than any other laws .
It is a direct violation of the constitution.
The constitution clearly states the right to bare arms,and no democrats are gonna take away your guns because most of them obide by the constitution. Republicans are all about changing the constitution.

Answer 1

Do you have any idea what the patriot act is? Guess not.

Answer 2

Last time I checked, the patriot act doesn't take away the right to bear arms.

What it does do is gives the government the right to search someone's home without warning them first.

Amendment IV
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

Notice it says probably cause. The Patriot act searches people if they have PROBABLE CAUSE that they're a terrorist, not because they feel like it.

Answer 3

I fully agree the Patriot Act is unconstitutional--but its not "communist"--it IS totalitarian.

The neo-cons don't even know what "communism" means--literally; to them it's just a pejoritive term and 9/10 of them couldn't tell you what the definition of the word is.

Unfortunately, I have to say that you don't seem to know either. There are many dictatorships, now and in the past, that are not communist. Granted, any communist system is going to end up being a totalitarian state--a point Marx himself missed. But the two are not equivalent terms.

Answer 4

The chimp boy signed it into action. Just like he signed the bill within 2 hours of 9/11 enabling him to unquestionably declare Martial Law.

Who is the communist now?
.

Answer 5

I don't agree with the Patriot act..but to say democrats aren't out to get your guns is absolutely foolish..
Stop listening to the MSM and look at all of the legislature Democrats are Pushing Nationwide to ban guns.
They know an outright ban will fail ..but if they can slowly ban different types of guns eventually none will be left.

Answer 6

Some paranoid politicians wrote the Patriot Act and passed it at night. Real loyal and trusting Americans? NOT!

Answer 7

Pathetic conservative drones are totally fine with the government listening in on their conversations KGB style, finding out what books they checked out of the library, etc. as long as you tell them it's "patriotic".

How could the "Patriot Act" be un-American? It's almost enough to make a cons head explode.

Answer 8

Please Queen Hillary was a member of the College Commie of the Month Club! The Constitution Is Capitalized for We Americans and it is Abide! Hit Spell check it is a free service Liberal Puke.

Answer 9

I hate to cut and paste.......

Section 215 allows the FBI to order any person or entity to turn over "any tangible things," so long as the FBI "specif[ies]" that the order is "for an authorized investigation . . . to protect against international terrorism or clandestine intelligence activities."
Section 215 vastly expands the FBI's power to spy on ordinary people living in the United States, including United States citizens and permanent residents.
The FBI need not show probable cause, nor even reasonable grounds to believe, that the person whose records it seeks is engaged in criminal activity.
The FBI need not have any suspicion that the subject of the investigation is a foreign power or agent of a foreign power.
The FBI can investigate United States persons based in part on their exercise of First Amendment rights, and it can investigate non-United States persons based solely on their exercise of First Amendment rights.
For example, the FBI could spy on a person because they don't like the books she reads, or because they don't like the web sites she visits. They could spy on her because she wrote a letter to the editor that criticized government policy.
Those served with Section 215 orders are prohibited from disclosing the fact to anyone else. Those who are the subjects of the surveillance are never notified that their privacy has been compromised.
If the government had been keeping track of what books a person had been reading, or what web sites she had been visiting, the person would never know.Normally, the government cannot effect a search without obtaining a warrant and showing probable cause to believe that the person has committed or will commit a crime. Section 215 violates the Fourth Amendment by allowing the government to effect Fourth Amendment searches without a warrant and without showing probable cause.
The violation of the Fourth Amendment is made more egregious by the fact that Section 215 might be used to obtain information about the exercise of First Amendment rights. For example, the FBI could invoke Section 215 to require a library to produce records showing who had borrowed a particular book or to produce records showing who had visited a particular web site.
Section 215 might also be used to obtain material that implicates privacy interests other than those protected by the First Amendment. For example, the FBI could use Section 215 to obtain medical records.
The provision violates the First Amendment by prohibiting those served with Section 215 orders from disclosing that fact to others, even where there is no real need for secrecy.
The provision violates the First Amendment by effectively authorizing the FBI to investigate U.S. persons, including American citizens, based in part on their exercise of First Amendment activity, and by authorizing the FBI to investigate non-U.S. persons based solely on their exercise of First Amendment activity.
The provision violates the Fourth and Fifth Amendments by failing to require that those who are the subject of Section 215 orders be told that their privacy has been compromised.

Answer 11

The Republicans, or in more familiar terms, the Nazis. You know, that thing about no rights unless you are of a certain "ilk".

The Republicans don't just want to change the constitution, they want to change it so it makes their lives better, and puts them closer to the dictatorship they desire over this country.
