The president said yesterday that the Senate needed to renew the Patriot Act because failure to do so would make America weak.
I disagree Mr. Bush.
The failure to renew the so called Patriot Act (that name is the greatest piece of marketing in recent history) is what helps make America strong. Those elected to govern acting in the best interests of those they govern is what makes America strong.
America should not be measured in terms of military might. America should be measured in terms of ideals; Freedom, Liberty and Justice. Not renewing the Patriot Act makes America stronger not weaker.

Ryan, you're a "great American!" Did you notice that during the election last year we had "orange" and "red" security warnings almost daily, and once Bush was reelected, those warnings ceased? I wonder if anyone noticed? I just think the whole phrase "a post 9/11 world" is meaningless. You mean there were no terrorists killing Americans and Jews before 9/11 2001?
Hey, hey peace and love before 2001, don't you remember?
We were the "victims" of a TSA search at the airport yesterday. I felt so much safer on board the aircraft. They were nice about it, but that is largely besides the point.
Don't forget, "Freedom is on the march."
