Obama's Snitch Brigade

Any one who disagrees with the Patriot Act and follows Obama on this is nuts... How paranoid is he... http://michellemalkin.com/2009/08/07/whos-behind-the-internet-snitch-brigade/

It has troubling implications. I would have less of a problem with it if it was a "copy" the fishy info and forward it on, but including the link to where it came from makes it appear less honest and more intrusive.

To your original statement, do you feel that the converse is true? Are people nuts if they support the Patriot Act and diss this?

Not a huge fan of the Patriot Act either... But at least parts of the act are good for our protection...

Someone help me out. Why can't I think of the quote that I want, or who said it? Something to the line of those that would give up liberties to provide security deserve neither.

What liberties did you give up.. Like I said I'm no fan of the act... Great retort coming from an Obama fan... Why does the left use that line only when it suits them... So you have no problem with Obama striping you of your liberties??

I'm going to bow out of this one. It's not quite my style.

Quote :

Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.

It's attributed to Benjamin Franklin.

I was thinking that it was Franklin, but the wording of it escaped me. Thanks.

Not scared...just not liking being branded. I don't play those games.

I won't brand you as long as you apply that quote to gun control and other constitutional issues..

If you're not aware, I am a gun owner and promote the right to use guns for hunting and self defense.

So would you be upset if your option was taken away???
