One of the cons is that anyone who refuses to offer their allegeince to the country or to the leader, can be labeled a terrorist. Some religions refuse to salute a flag, because they feel that saluting is a form of worship or idolatry, which the bible condemns. So will these people be considered terrorists? What happened when people wouldn't salute Hitler? It's a little to similar for me.

The Patriot Act does many different things -- far more than most people deal with -- and doesn't actually do many of the things people think it does.
The best way to get an overview is to read the table of contents for the act (linked below). Most of the provisions are fairly beneficial, or at least innocuous.
Some are intrusive, but not unconstitutional -- with the exception of the one section that was found (twice) to be unconstitutional -- dealing with the way National Security Letters are used.
The bottom line is that it's a massive collection of only vaguely related provisions -- which reflects the fact that it was put together in just a few hours in the middle of the night before it was signed -- ignoring most of the substantive changes that had been reviewed by committees in the weeks before that.

Pro-no more attacks in America since the Patriot Act was signed.
Con(servatives) support the patriot Act which saves American lives and liberals support terrorists "right" to secretly plan attacks.

-The law allows the president to designate any person an "alien unlawful enemy combatant," shunting that individual into an alternative court system in which the writ of habeas corpus no longer applies,
