Ok, shoot them all, we'll sort it out later.

By the time anyone can sort anything out, the money will be gone and some lonely beach in the third world will have a few new resident billionaires. That's what's important here isn't it?

Are the Libbies STILL whinning about the Patriot Act?

Honestly... what in your life has really changed? You still get to b**** and cry like babies every day.

My life has not changed a single iota except for a little more airport security to go through. That is it.

Ahh, so as long as you aren't inconvenienced, you don't really care what the government does. Is that Amendment 28? Some people don't enjoy the uncertainty of living on a slippery slope.

Move to Arizona...

DHS using Border Patrol, well away from the border. Something slippery about that if you ask me.

I don't particularly like the Patriot Act, but other than a little inconvenience flying or getting in and out of the U.S. nothing has changed for U.S. citizens. Only those who want to hurt us don't particularly like it.

Gee, where are the anti-government Tea Baggers to protest against this heinous violation of the Bill of Rights?

Woops, I forgot - it was their party who passed it. Uh, never mind.

Though I bet Ron Paul opposes it, just as I'm sure the odd Democrat supports it. So I wonder just how partisan it really is. Though overall I agree with you that Republicans, Ron Paul exceptions aside, are more likely to support it than Democrats.

Democrats had their chance to abolish or modify it, and did nothing. We can generally assume both parties want it.
