What's the point of asking congress to renew so-called "Patriot Act"

Today. Bush has admits that he broke the law and authorized spying on domestic citizens without court order. So let me ask you, what's the point of him begging Congress to renew the so-called "patriot act" when ol' Big Brother Bush obviously doesn't care about laws anyway. It's like those jerks who fly down the interstate at 90 miles an hour and complain when other people don't use their signals. If you're going to be an outlaw, why follow any laws?

Our laws are what make us different from communist and facist countries like China. W have a code of law that is written by the people, via a democratic process, as outlined in our Constitution. When leaders break this sacred code - no matter what their motivation - they are acting as dictators, plain and simple. It's about as unpatriotic as you can possibly be. Dictators disrespect the very core of what makes the United States so unique and powerful in the world: Democracy.

So with that said, I have a message to our President. There is a technique used by good leaders and mangers of people. It is called diplomacy. I know that's a big word Dub-ya, so let me spell it out for ya. It's when you use your communication skills to work through problems and build relationships with other people. Since you obviously have no communication skills to speak of, and have proven yourself unable to resolve conflicts (most of which your family started by the way), you instead try to "protect" America from people who disagree with you. These are the people you are calling "terrorists" or "enemies."

Now, I agree that killing innocent people as a form of revolution is quite possibly the worst crime one can commit on this Earth. The people responsible should be caught and hanged as quickly as possible - and I mean every word I am saying: FIND THE FUCKERS AND HANG THE BASTARDS ON NATIONAL TV, UNCENSORED.

However, know this, Dub-ya: The constitution allows and ENCOURAGES us to disagree with government, and to use violent force, if neccessary. I mean, duh, that is the entire reason why we created the Constitution in the first place - to provide the people with the rights and freedoms necessary to check, and possibly overthrow, governments that have grown too powerful.

In the guise of "protection" you are really destroying the very foundation of our strength. The people do not need to be protected. They may wish to be protected, but that is not what they need.

What they need is a little hard love. They need a little dose of realtity. That is what the Founders had in mind. Benjamin Franklin once said "Anyone who would give up a little freedom for a little security deserves neither freedom nor security." They firmly realized that We, the People, must be fully informed, and firmly entrenched to Reality, in ordrer to govern best, and take action when necessary to correct matters.

Frankly, the only good outcome of 9/11 was that it boosted the bumper sticker industry; every gas-guzzling SUV in my neighborhood now sports a "support our troops" ribbon. If that is all we can do when 4,000 of our citizens are butally murdered, then perhaps we need some additional events to shock America into getting up off its flabby ass and start improving itself as a nation.
