Someone really really needs to explain to me this “loss of civil liberties” we’re experiencing. I must have missed all those stories of law-abiding Americans being dragged away to jail. I assume they’re referring to the Patriot Act and the eavesdropping (not wiretapping, you lib fools) on cell calls to/from suspected terrorists outside the U.S.
Well, don’t worry, Libs - the Great Obigula will rescind those laws. However, I wouldn’t cross any major bridges or eat in an outdoor restaurant after he does, if I were you.

You are absolutely right. There’s been NO LOSS (if I’m interpreting your writing correctly). I got into a ‘heated’ (understatement) debate with the manager of my office regarding the civil liberties BS. He’s pretty far left and was screaming at me about how civil liberties under Bush have been attacked and on and on and on. It was bad enough that it destroyed our friendship....Can’t get over the twisted logic/reasoning of these people. It has to be a ‘supernatural phenomenom’ .......
Or use them to hound outspoken conservatives for being potential terrorists for seditious communications (i.e. not towing the Obama philosophy).
Obama et al are not going to rescind the Patriot Act. They are going to USE it in exactly the ways the people with their heads screwed on straight said the government would eventually use it. The major problem with giving power to one specific leader is not only that HE might abuse it, but that his successors will.
It is going to be a few hard months or possibly years before the blinders of partisanship come off the eyes of the core Republican constituency. X is bad whether done by R or D, and it is really sad, as this thread evidences, that the moderate Republicans are still in denial.
