Not Really.
People would rather be in harms way now than have the Patriot Act, which is not half as intrusive as what the Brits have to put up with.

I will not answer your question and ignore the lib slanted implication that the constitution has been violated (abrogating).
First of all, the President has done nothing that any other president has not done. He has been given the same broad powers implied b the constitution that every single president before him has had and it is the libs that are trying to censor the president chiefly because of the fact that they can do nothing with the majority. The cannot pass one piece of meaningful legislation and nonbinding resolutions seem to be the only thing they can agree on. Not a very proud claim to fame for them.
The patriot act has not and will not be declared unconstitutional simply because it is something that the libs do not agree with. Thus, it is the most effective legislation currently doing the intended job. It does not need to be changed. As long as a person is doing nothing illegal to support terrorism, they have nothing to fear. And no one is being denied their rights.
If it is not broken, it does not need to be fixed!

Political Correctness is the Incubator of Islamism
by Amil Imani
14 Feb, 2007
Time and again we are told by the politically correct “experts” not to worry about Islam posing a threat to our way of life. We are repeatedly lectured that only a very small minority of Muslims are troublemakers who are giving the peaceful masses of Muslims a bad name. We are also informed that the terrorists, who happened to be Muslims, are the disaffected and the young. And not to worry, since as the fire of youth turns to ashes of old age the rebellious will mellow, as they always have.
With heavy assurances like this, coming from so many know-it-all authoritative figures, we can sleep soundly without the aid of sleeping pills. After all, people reason that these pundits are “experts” whose job is to know and tell it like it is. Those who voice contrary views must be a bunch of racist, alarmist hate mongers. Who is right?
Wouldn’t be more prudent to let the facts settle the matter, rather than blindly accepting either position? Of course it would, except for one huge problem. In the face of threats, people tend to go to the mind’s medicine cabinet and take a few denial and rationalization pills, in the same way that it is the aspirin bottle they turn to when a headache strikes. Why not? We are the Easy Species. We love effortless, quick and simple solutions. And that’s not invariably bad. It has given us all kinds of labor and time saving devices.
Yet, the Islam problem is very real and deadly. Neither the pronouncements of the experts, nor the tranquilizing pills of the mind can make it go away. It is here and it shows every sign of imposing itself on us.
Europe is already badly infected with Islamism. It is the coal-miners’ canary. It is telling us that the next stop is America. We must act and act now. We must not sacrifice our cherished way of life and the lives of our children at the altar of political correctness: the incubator of Islamofascism.

Omnibus Vigilantibus. Keep your eyes and ears open.
Otherwise, you can have a free society and combat terrorism.
This is not a civil war you know. Well, not yet. If it goes that far, we'll disentomb Abe Lincoln, clone him, and then suspend the Constitution.

How about changing foreign policy so the US doesn't do things which makes people hate us in the first place?

Sure there is. We do not need to destroy the values of America to defend them.
