Without a doubt you are not getting my point. Who is to say this broad questionable power is used against those who do not agree with the Obama Administration? Remember, most Conservatives sat out this election in order to show those damn Republicans and now we have the Socialist preparing to take over the US government.

Let me try this - Who is to say with this new administration they don't like you having Conservative meetings because the local people like your ideas. The whole idea is to take back your district and elect more Conservative minded people. But, in the mind of a Socialism, this can't be allowed to take place. They see these meetings as dangerous and decide this is a form of usurpation on the part of the group. With all the general loopholes of the Patriot Act, the group is placed on the possible terrorist list. Insane? They did this to a handful of white guys in Alabama who had a few guns last year. So please don't talk to me about the President's powers. I am well aware of the Presidential Powers and as long as W has been in office I have supported him. This new administration is a totally different animal and a dangerous one at that....

Most of all, who is going to tell Obama to play nice with these powers?

Now, I'm tired of discussing THE PEOPLE’s CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS. Without a doubt, YOU do not “GET IT”.

The Patriot Act does not allow what you claim it does. You can make up a million “what if” scenarios where all different types of government power can be abused but that is why we have checks and balances.

What loopholes? Again please be more specific. If you have a link to the specific case you mention here then please provide a link if you can.

Are these people being denied their right to due process??? I doubt it.
