Patriot Act ...created and passed in Six Weeks ...from 911...believe it?
All that has happened since the stolen election and 911 has really been a "nightmare"...to put it kindly.

A question...since they have been talking about adding to the hideous Patriot Act ...I offer the following question.

How can the Bush Administration create this 400+ page bill so incredibly crafted and passed in "SIX WEEKS"...10/24/01.

Let's not forget passage of the bill was quite memorable since the house/senate receive the bill 24/36 hours prior to passage.....ALONG WITH THE ANTHRAX LETTERS ARRIVING THE SAME DAY!!!

This always seemd like such crap...how could they have this "life changing" bill sitting in the wings ...not knowing of 911 ...all ready to deliever ???

1. sure - they had time to write it in 6 weeks
and the reps that voted for it didn;t even have time to read it?

yeah, that's the ticket.

Anyone who can't see that 911, usa patriot, iraq and afghani war ARE the entire Bush presidency plan hasn't been paying attention.

2. Yes, the Bushevisk and Osama have similar modus operandis
Both liek to strike multiple target on the same day.

God, I pity those poor kids who will be the Imperial Subjects of Amerika in 2100.

These are the Good Old Days. Be ready, because they are going to end as the descent into Empire picks up steam after the Stalinist Joke of 2004.

3. It seems like crap
because it is crap. Now, they didn't have to go through that messy, inconvenient stage where the elected members of Congress actually READ the thing, which always helps. Nonetheless, it's madness to think that such an enormous and far-reaching piece of legislation was whipped together like a box of instant pudding.

I shouldn't be, but I'm constantly surprised by the ridiculous things that are accepted without question.
