Patriot Act in the Senate right now?

Both versions, the House and Senate bills are in conference. The difference between the two bills are narrow and what they are doing is deciding on whether or not to expand certain parts of the bill for 4 or 10 years. <br><br>Provisions have been added that triple the number of crimes that are punishable by death. <br><br>The time is very near, certain clauses are set to expire at the end of this year. So it won't be long till they screw us but good with this one. <br><br>I've written countless letters and made countless phone calls and signed every petition I can find against it. <br><br>They are NOT listening to the people on this one and it is a very important bill for moving us headlong into a police state. <br><br> <p></p><i></i>

...the liberals will get their heads out of their asses, stop preaching gun control and start buying their own, so that when the midnight knock comes they can defend themselves? <p></p><i></i>

Never. Because there is no difference between the parties who rule in Congress and the Whitehouse. The idea of having different political parties is simply another method of the nwo to further the division of the people based on false ideologies manufactured by them. Divide and conquer is the name of the game and it works quite well. <br><br>It keeps everyone back biting each other while they have their way with us. <br><br>If and when the shit comes down on our heads, it's probably best not to align yourself with anyone other than for survival purposes. <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p216.ezboard.com/brigorousintuition.showUserPublicProfile?gid=pugzleyca3>pugzleyca3</A> at: 11/2/05 2:57 am<br></i>

Yes, that's exhibit one of what's lurking under the radar of the Libby/Fitzy (and now scalito, how cute) noise. <br><br>Exhibit two: Notice Harry Reid shut down the Senate today for a closed session discussion on the stalled "investigation" of pre-Iraq intelligence "failures"? Media debate pushes theory Reid gets balls on heels of Libby indcitment. Yep. <br><br>Kinda like those live terror drills on days of live terror. <br><br><br><br> <p></p><i></i>

If anyone is actually growing balls now, it is because they are afraid they won't have enough computers in position to rig the next election. And they need to put up a false front for the people. Funny, how all of this went on for YEARS and only now are they even bothering to make a pretext that they care what the people think. Election year is just around the corner. <br><br> <p></p><i></i>

I'm really hoping that this executive session which sounds a little redundant to what Fitzgerald is doing is in good faith. Does anybody see a threat there like I do?<br><br>firstimer <p></p><i></i>
