The USA Patriot Act

The USA PATRIOT Act is a ten-letter acronym that stands for “Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism” Act of 2001. It is an Act of Congress that was signed into law by President George W. Bush in October 2001.

I’m amazed at the bull-shit that can be sold to the American public in a time of duress, when it’s wrapped in the U.S. flag.

All this bill is – is an overreach of the federal government’s powers. It claims to use the U.S. Constitution as a checks-and-balance on its limits, but I think that’s nothing more than smoke being blown up John Q. Public’s butt.

My prediction is that it’ll be around for the next 100-years. If you need an example jus’ look at the Federal Reserve which has been impeding the U.S. economy since 1903 and it’s not even a part of the government.
