Comments on: FBI Director Defends Patriot Act

Robert Mueller Tells Skeptical Senators FBI Can Use Anti-Terrorism Powers Properly

[observantx]

The unPatriot Act is the cause of this travesty. Congress paased it in a panic and barely half of them bothered to even read it. It installs a police state in our country.

IT DOES NOT NEED TO BE AMENDED OR MODIFIED. MUST BE REPEALED!

It is the most intrusive dictatorial bill ever to be passed by the Koolaid Kongress. It subverts our liberties granted by our Constitution and "emboldens" our Fearless Leader to spit in our faces when we ask about what were the true reasons for going into Iraq and what was the JUST US Department up to when they purged the less than loyal "Bushies" from the ranks of the US Attorneys.

The Patriot Act has to go. It is a smear of sh*t on our Constitution.

Why isn't Mueller being prosecuted for his admitted crimes?

It might have been a "mistake" that the FBI violated the law, but it is a crime.

Why is the Senate wasting time on this admitted criminal?

There is nothing to discuss, the "Patriot Act" should be repealed in its entirety.

And, Mueller should be in jail or out on bond pending trial, same as any other criminal.

We need a Communist Revolution in the USA, sparky! Everbudy knows that reel Communism has never been tried.

We need to round up all republicans, neocons, etc. and send them all to re-educashun camps to teach them how to be politcaly corect. WE CANNOT TOLERATE DESENT, we need to imprison all conservatives until they convert to OUR way of thinking. When everbudy is politicaly corect and thinks like us, then we can all get along

Re-distribute monie from rich and give to the pour, that's what the rich diserve for wurking so hard. It isnt fare that people who wurk hard get payd more.

There is no god, only the state, WE know it takes a village, sparky!

Long live the gloreus peeples republic of amerika

notblue - yes the threat of radical islam is real - problem is we have a Presidential Administration with their heads so far up their you know what they can't do anything right - the fact is that the FBI ABUSED the Patriot Act -- the Patriot Act gave them much broader and wider legal means to investigate and even that wasn't far enough for them - they simply can't stand the US Constitution or the Bill of Rights - which is downright unpatriotic and downright Unamerican.


If you are this frightened that you are willing to destroy all that makes this republic of ours then you aren't fit to call yourself an American - it's that plain and simple.

Think about this - Al Queda wants to destroy America - and you and Bush are working with him to do that - Bin Laden hates and fears our democratic republic, our freedoms, our citizens rights, our constitution and our bill of rights -- so what do you accomplish by destroying them before he can??? Bush did Bin Laden's work in Iraq for him and now you want him to do Bin Laden's work for him here at home too??

It is not our inaction that emboldens our enemies, it is our depth of fear.

The enemy has been emboldened by our lack of action and the fact that America doesn't have the will to fight.

That's ridiculous. You just stated outright that our troops suck. Again, it's you republicans who hate the troops. The troops are FIGHTING and fighting VALIANTLY in this illegal war that your leader George Bush started (Bush declared war, not Iraq). Americans have the will to fight, but not to the point of shunning the rest of the world. The WORLD MATTERS. So answer the rest of my comments to you NotBlue. WHY do you support this war when it's creating MORE terrorists than were EVER there before???

It was a dark day in America when Democrats assumed control of Congress. Now they are shining light upon the Patriot Act. What's the purpose of having a secret government if people are allowed to stick their noses into it? Those unpatriotic, treasonous agitators!

Only a year ago, Republicans controlled all three branches of government. We didn't have to put up with such scrutiny and dissent back then.
