The Patriot Act

Since many of you think this is the worst thing ever to happen in our country, I would like to know. How has the Patriot Act effected you personally? What freedoms are you denied now that it is place? Because nothing is different from my end, maybe im blind though.

Why would it have to affect you personally?
Isn't the fact that it tramples on your rights enough?

If it has personally affected anyone on this board...they would not be allowed to TELL us that it has affected them or they'll go straight to jail (do not pass Go, do not collect $200)

It has the potential to affect everyone. Why that isn't enough for you is a mystery to me. Or are you saying you don't think the potential is there?

It violates my right to live free from governmental intrusion. It hasn't affected me but what if someone decided to tell the wrong people i'm a terrorist sympathizer? I really don't care if it affects me personally directly. If it affects an American citizen then it indirectly affects me because I will now fear my government that much more. I had to give up personal iinformation in order to by a fucking boat, why?

I'ts different because she told be the form was new since the patriot act came out. I tried to call my loan officer a couple minutes ago but she was out. I'll find out the specifics, she wasn't happy about asking people to fill it out.

Ok here's the dealio about the Boat patriot act thing. Due to the patriot act any purchase of great expense (she didn't give me an exact amount) like a Car, Boat, House (aything expensive) et. A special form has to be filled out as a "promise" that you are not using this purchase to fund terrorism. personally I don't feel that it's any of their fucking business as to the why i'm doing anything legal.

But there is no great oppression going on.
Innvertigo, that is kinda dumb. I dont understand why they would have you promise your not going to use it to fund terrorism. It probably means that you get heavier charges if you do get caught funding terrorism with that item.
At least somebody was effected some how , but it isnt that bad.

Nothing has changed for me. I'm sure you had to give personal information when you buy a boat before September 11th 2001. Without it a bigger boat can run you over, kill people in your boat and get away with it.

Amendment II
A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.
Amendment VIII
Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.
I've never personally used those rights afforded me by the Bill of Rights. So by your logic they could be repealed since I've never used them.

I am very away of Zombi's experience, this post would be a way to bring it out to everybody attention that there IS something wrong that is real.
cb, the 2nd Amendment is hardly our right as it reads. I forgot all the specifics, but the right for the people to bear arms is limited to the national guard I believe? Whats this have to do with the Patriot Act.
And whats the 8th have to do with anything? I need more specifics.

Absolutely wrong. The word militia at the time referred to each and every adult(male?) citizen and 'well regulated' meant well prepared. Forgetting the 2nd amendment completely, read the 9th amendment. Even if the bill of rights did not address gun ownership specifically, the 9th would protect it.

Yah, the founding fathers were able to look forward in time and predict the creation of the National Guard years in the future. If only I could look forward 125+ years.
And how could the phrase "the right of the people" refer to anything but the people?

What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it. ~ Adrian Rogers

This is why I ask questions, and one or two opinions does not void me of the title of a conservative, which I dont even know if I really am. They are just the better choice always (except Mayor Dailey =b)

It may not void you of the title but it shows me something.
That you don't fit the title.

I dont own a gun, nor do I need one, but I love them. So why do I need to know the laws? And why would lack of concern about hte patriot act make me any less of a conservative? Theres two ways to look at it, I look at it from the prosecuting terrorists side.

How many terrorists have been arrested, charged and convicted as a result of the Patriot Act?
If you're going to defend something then at least provide some reasons why, i'm also curios aswell.

Ok lets turn it around then how many innocent people have been imprisoned as a result of the Patriot Act?
------------------ Terror Arrests in the UK since 9-11 ( As of April 2004)
Arrested :548 Charged :98 Convictions:6 ------------------
Hardly a stunning success 1.09% of arrests lead to a conviction.
