I’m with Rand Paul on this one. Giving up liberty to gain some security leads to the loss of both.
Yes, it is Rand Paul and freedom-loving Americans...he is not alone.
Why are we all bowing down to a bunch of turd world terrorists. Giving up our freedom is not worth the price.
Pray America is waking
Paul is right to oppose the Patriot Act.
I was horribly disappointed in Bush when he said islam is a religion of peace and then created the Department of Homeland Security and lauded the Patriot Act.
So many government laws and agencies are named for the opposite of what they really do.
Why? What part of the alternative will not work? I sincerely ask this because I am curious and no article I have seen yet explains why Paul thinks the restoration of freedom act won’t do the job its supporters claim it will.
Cruz is the best but I’m with rand Paul on this issue.
Patriot Act is no different from any other government bureaucracy - it was created to address specific goals, and from there, it will grow out of control.
What’s particularly dangerous though, compared to the EPA, HUD, Dept of Education, is that is particularly enabled to violate Americans’ basic rights. These others took decades to grab enough power for themselves to become a threat - with Homeland Security, Americans and Congress are giving them the power outright.
Hi Arthurus,
Just for the record, I’m NOT with Sen. Paul on this one.
I have no problem with the NSA recording my phone number, since it’s ALREADY recorded in the white pages of my phone book!
I know. I know. Sen. Paul says he is worried that someone at the NSA could match my phone number with, say, my ophthalmologist’s phone number and conclude that I wear glasses.
Well, duh...
Anyone who wants to steal and analyze my garbage could learn a lot more about me.
More important to me is the question, if Sen. Paul is elected President, what is his plan to close our border?
Yeah.... I’m with him on this one too.
I agree. Less government intrusion and more freedom in our lives is always better in my view.
