Am I glad there is a sweeping "counter terrorism" act that violates our rights? NO.
Nothing, nothing can serve as an exception to the rights we are guaranteed.
I sure have posted this before because it's a good point. What about the left whining about the Patriot Act, again and again? I am trying to defend the Patriot Act whenever it is brought up and the response given to those who oppose say pretty much the same thing, "it violates our rights and you are idiotic".

That was easy.
Yes but you keep getting the same response because you keep posting the same tired, meaningless article! How about instead of defending a peice of legislation you try defending people's rights and freedoms? Thats the problem with republicans, they all too often find themselves defending the wrong things.
