Obama Quietly Backs PATRIOT Act Provisions

[Kevin_Kennedy]

With the health care debate preoccupying the mainstream media, it has gone virtually unreported that the Barack Obama administration is quietly supporting renewal of provisions of the George W. Bush-era USA PATRIOT Act that civil libertarians say infringe on basic freedoms.

And it is reportedly doing so over the objections of some prominent Democrats.

More evidence that nothing changes regardless of which evil we pick for office.

"You have given out too much rep in the last 24 hours. Try again later."

Very true Kevin_Kennedy....and he actually made it MORE intrusive if you see the subtle changes he made to it and FISA.

Not to sound like a foiler but I always figured they were doing this stuff for years anyways.

 

[Article 15]

We were warned that future administrations would only expand these powers back when the Patriot Act was first proposed.

BTW that's another piece of legislation that the Dems threw bipartisan support at.

Knowing the MusLamedoo-eating Obami Salami and his stooge Holder's record you can betcha bippy that this pair of Libtards will use it solely on American Patriots. The first being the "Teabaggers".

Shortly after Obami Salami's Home Security stooge Napolitano on National TV with great fanfare and hoopla outlawed the term "Terrorist activity" with "Man made disasters". And "War on Terror" with "Overseas Contingency Opertions", the Florida Libtard Congressman (and ex-indicted judge) Alcee Hastings voiced the necessity to round up the "teabaggers" and such, as a threat to National Security. And righteously voiced the need to send them to "Detention camps" by introducing a bill to Congress. I hope the Liberal pukes don't have the power to initiate this kind of action.

"Detention camps" ???? Sound familiar ???? That is exactly the same term used for the camps the Nazis used before they turned the same into Concentration Camps a la Auschwitz, etc.

I know, I know the Libtards will compare the Japanese Camps during WWII with Auschwitz, or Treblinka, etc.

Personally, I don't think the LibNuts have the power to initiate this kind of madness......

But, what with the Muslimdoo-eating records of MARXIST Obami-Salami and his stooge Holder's backing of the Patriot Act it does sound ominous.

It is always a good idea to watch what is coming from Government late on Fridays, and the day before holidays. That's when they tend to release shit they hope no one will catch. Also, of course, with the hysteria over healthcare - you can bet your last dollar that there is a variety of seriously hinky shit getting quietly passed without the media or the public noticing.

Hells teeth, our government is an institutionally corrupt organization. They all need to join the unemployment lines.

Seems to be the "MO" for the Obama administration.

Flood the entire system with issue after issue, and while we are concentrating on trying to deal with those, THEY are busy planning and trying to pass more of their agendas 'behind' our backs.

In the interest of fairness, it's SOP for whatever party holds the power. It's not new.... what is new is the amount and speed with which this Administration is running. It's almost like they know something we don't.

What's the rush?

I think you got that nailed, nothing new, but the 'speed' at which this is happening. The magicians call it "Slight of Hand"

Yeah, or maybe more evidence that once in office a president's eyes are opened to the evils that exist that want to kill us soley because we're infidels.

Likey now that Barry's sitting in the Big Chair some of the stuff our intelligence briefs him on scares the hell out of him. As it should.

No it isn't. We're in a recession - one that could have been less severe, had the DNC and the GOP done what they should have done 5 years ago. Other than that, nothing is falling apart, that's just what Obama wants you to think.

This post is spot on..

There was also ZERO debate on this Bill in the Rep. House and the Dem Senate when it was initially passed.

We were warned about this and the Dem's at least put a sunset clause in the Bill. I guess it's "What's good for the goose.....

That's not the sole reason they want to kill us. Perhaps you've forgotten our murderous sanctions, bombings, and military occupations of the Middle East? They haven't.

Neither is yours the reason they want to kill us. Countries and ideologies that fear freedom are always going to hate us - unless we give up that freedom..... Oh, wait.... maybe that's Obama's strategy! Take away our freedom for our own good. Brilliant tactic - I am now fully supportive of the Obamanation.

Of course no debate we were in the midst of freedom fries and fear driven politics. No one wanted to appear weak or unamerican.

Along these lines, and interesting development is that when GWB was in office, he signed an executive order that classified material become unclassified after 25 years (pending multi-agency approval and unless there were still the chance of endangering lives).

BHO is rushing to get an EO in that would preempt the upcoming deadline the end of this year for declassification of this historical material.

And the really bizarre thing is this new EO does more to protect aging historical material than it apparently does to protect current classified material based on no apparent decrease in the frequency of leaks.

BHO's opacity in governance at work.

So this is your excuse for letting it happen?

You scare me....and in a Darwinian world people like you were culled from the herd by predators and eaten....I see why you are a liberal.
