Since Firm thought the Patriot act was a good thing I find his .... partisanship.... showing far more than anyone else.

quote: ORIGINAL: Musicmystery quote: Along with several other things . . . I do think it shows someone who really isn't all that concerned or cares about the rule of law or the balance of power, but rather more about the exercise of power. Which is not a healthy thing, generally, for our nation. It also opens the door for the "next guy" (whoever he might be) to push "just a little more" in that direction. That is a direction that I think is pretty dangerous to be moving. Exactly what I said about Cheney/Bush for 8 years. Where were you? At the same place. Just I don't remember Bush having Americans assassinated, nor signing a law which gives him power to arrest and detain American citizens on a "whim". The Republicans aren't off the hook ... the House passed the damn thing as well. What I don't see is the outrage from the "left" who screamed bloody murder when they thought Bush might be considering anything that didn't fit the widest possible definition of "protecting our rights", who are now almost utter silent on much larger direct and overt actions by the current administration which simply trash the most basic cornerstones of the rights guaranteed by the Constitution. quote: ORIGINAL: Musicmystery Cheney, nostalgic for his Nixon White House years, wanted to strengthen the presidency. Bush loved to shoot from the hip, without constraint. They were successful, in large part due to a rubber stamp Congress for 6 years. You aren't trying to say "Bush did it first!" are you? We can go back much further than that if we want to discuss the origins of an Imperial Presidency, I think. Firm

No Firm not at all, I just read a comment you made from a couple of years ago. I never mind read.

Hmmm your comment was in response to "Evaluation of President G. W. Bush!" your response was A FR and the second comment you made under the heading THE GOOD was The patriot act here is the relevant quote quote: ORIGINAL: FirmhandKY FR: The good: 1. Fight against Islamic terrorism. a. War in Iraq (finally getting it right) b. Patriot act 2. Renewed world respect for the political strength of the US 3. Supreme Court appointments. Bad: 1. Signed bankruptcy bill, 2. Poorly managed relations with Congress: a. Let the Republicans desert conservative principles, b. Failed to confront the Democratic Congress 3. Pretty much destroyed the conservative aspects of the Republican party Firm dated 10/10/2008 http://www.collarchat.com/m_2192966/mpage_2/key_/tm.htm#2193814 PS Of course you are entitled to wriggle around try and point out it was to do with islamic terrorism. I expect you too, however you did list the patriot act as a good thing. And I really dont need to label you as a rightist.

FirmhandKY -> RE: Still More of Obamas "New Tone" (1/10/2012 12:48:14 PM)
ahh, so you don't have anything of substance. What is the heading that the words "the Patriot Act" is listed under? What do you know about what I think about it in relationship to our civil rights? Firm

tazzygirl -> RE: Still More of Obamas "New Tone" (1/10/2012 12:51:58 PM)
So the Patriot Act is only good if we are fighting Islamic Terrorists, but not if we are fighting other Terrorists?

You can turn things around, but no one else can dare to misunderestimate your posts LMAO And I really dont need to label you as a rightist. I try not to think about you at all regarding anything, except what you claim here

But on the other hand, I can see how some elaboration can explain, well, what you're explaining, since you have items under the "Bad" heading that apply to the Patriot Act as well.

Pray tell Raikun what in the bad list is part of the "patriot act" specifically? 1. Signed bankruptcy bill, 2. Poorly managed relations with Congress: a. Let the Republicans desert conservative principles, b. Failed to confront the Democratic Congress 3. Pretty much destroyed the conservative aspects of the Republican party ???? I dont see a direct correlation Im willing to be "shown" the bit I missed

EOS Perhaps you wish it to be "EOS", because you are wrong, and do not have the intestinal fortitude to correct yourself, or admit error or have a polite discussion about the topic. The plain fact is that you wish to attribute to me, beliefs and positions I do not have. If you were really interested in an open discussion, you'd've asked me what I thought about the Patriot Act in it's entirety, but like Obama's "new tone", you simply wish to have those who disagree with you about anything to lay down and shut up, while their heads are chopped off.

FirmhandKY -> RE: Still More of Obamas "New Tone" (1/10/2012 6:06:24 PM)
Most of those links have nothing to do with the subject. Trying to throw filler out, to make it appear that you have a point? There are a couple in which I castigate the Democrats for not complaining about it after Obama was elected. Which is still a valid complaint, and points to the fact that I think there is something to complain about. Not even a good try. Have you found any where yet where I said "Thank God for the Patriot Act!"? or any such? Didn't think so. Firm
