In reply to the discussion: Goddamit !!! - We Need To Get The Fuck Out Of Afghanistan... THEY DON'T WANT US THERE !!! [View all]former-republican

It's the same old tired line that republicans use every time.
If you oppose the war you are against the troops , if you oppose the patriot act you are unpatriotic.
The patriot act is an abomination on this country and our civil rights.
I was very disappointed with President Obama when he extended it .
I hope in 2012 when he wins re-election he comes to his senses on this one topic.
