To All Freepers, President Obama Will Have All of the Powers of the Patriot Act

[Yavin4]

You remember the Patriot Act. You remember how you used it to tar anyone who opposed it as unpatriotic.

Well, don't look now, but Obama will have ALL of those Patriot Act powers. Be careful about who you talk to on the phone or which books you check out from the library.

Irony is a bitch aint it.

[Bucky]

1. It was funnier when I thought Hillary Clinton would have that power.

I don't think Obama is as scary to conservatives, even now.

[WeDidIt]

51. Actually, Freeps are MORE SCARED of Obama than they were of Hillary

It's the Muslim Terrorist Arab forthing at the mouth crap they;ve been spewing. They're all pissing their pants over him now.

[BlooInBloo]

2. woot! Unitary Executive!

:rofl:

No, not really. But it would be DEAD FUNNY!

:rofl:

[Howardx]

3. haha!

good point!

[EFerrari]

4. That's just freep abuse.

:rofl:

[The Wielding Truth]

34. This is so wrong. Freepers, we are not like this. We will not

support the misuse or the dismissal of our Bill of Rights.

It is too precious to us.

We will use it to help you, and we will protect your civil rights.

We are the Americans who will stand shoulder to shoulder with you as we rebuild the dream of an equal society. It is time that those who think they have the only answer are shown that though their way may be good, it must be considered with others in a Democracy.

This is who we are. This is who Barack Obama is.

The wealthy and the well connected will always make their way to the top. They don't need democracy and some don't care to promote it. It is for the hard working middle class and the struggling poor who's rigtht's can only be assured through the participation in democracy and the right to make thier voices heard through equal rights for whom we will fight. We are all equal in a democracy.

We are the Americans who are "the melting pot" .

When one person or whole classes of people are not heard and not respected there is oppression, war,or people go their own way and separate. All of which makes the country weaker.

We are Americans.All of us, and we will make this country the strongest, freest, safest place to stand as an example to the world. Americans don't just look down on others, we look down and help them up.

Walk with us. We will see you. We will listen to your ideas and together we will lead the world in
restoring Democracy first to the US, then if they wish, and with their help to the world.

Having a little fun at a bully's expense may be fun. But then who is the bully?

[Downtown Hound]

39. No we're not like that

Nobody is really serious here. We all want the Patriot Act repealed. We're just letting off a little steam after eight long years of hell. Lighten up a little. We don't need to be serious and saint-like all the time.

[snake in the grass]

45. The argument...

...that we are not like this doesn't comfort me. While I do believe that liberals are generally more decent, the temptation is still there to misuse this power. Perhaps Obama wouldn't do it directly, but rest assured that at some point someone would. That is why it must be a priority of the next president to reinstate the constitution. It would please me to no ends to tap every freeper and Republicant, but I know it would be wrong. We must work that the people regain some trust in the government. Revoke the Patriot Act and incarcerate the criminals from whose sick minds it came.

[The Wielding Truth]

58. I agree. The changes that * has made are bad no matter who

is in charge. Unless they are legally nullified, there is a cause to worry. After the election this should be our goal.

Of course I know this thread is harmless, but when it is addressed to those who have been pushed to believe we are the enemy,anything that alienates us is harmful to a new unified America.

My post was a sincere hope that we will not be thought of as, rubbing they're nose in what may be our victory. As wonderfully good as it would be to have a person in charge who represents the welfare of all the people, the RW will be hurt and in shock and worried that the junk they have been feed will become reality.

I would like them to know, from me, that we are aware of their adjustments and we will work to be kind and we will not stop them from being who they are. Their individual rights are as important as our own. We believe in all of the Bill of Rights for all of our citizens.

Not only that, but they are not without power, and we will work with them. It is way past time that the wild run that corporate wealth has had is over. When almost evey part of our Country has been recked, it's time to change the party in charge. This will be a chance to restore and renew the basics of our Constitution.

When someone is hurt and they are teased. They don't want to hear. "Oh, lighten up."

I'm just thinking of them and how to bridge our differences.

[Dark]

49. I have no problem pointing this out to my relatives who are conservative.

I've been telling them since 2004 "you don't know who's going to come after Bush. Even if he wasn't a megalomaniacal imbecile, do you really want to give so much power to someone you don't even know?

[alphafemale]

50. Delete. Wrong spot. nt

63. Every party has a pooper, that's why we invited you ...

[ChipperbackDemocrat]

65. Uh, no.

"We are the Americans who will stand shoulder to shoulder with you as we rebuild the dream of an equal society. It is time that those who think they have the only answer are shown that though their way may be good, it must be considered with others in a Democracy.

People of this type cannot be reasoned with. They cannot be bargained with. They are the footsoldiers of the "Coalition of the Willing". And they will not stop.
I am not interested in shaking their hand after this victory.

The best way to defeat a bully is to incapacitate him to the point where he will never hurt you again.

[Raksha]

66. I'm not interested in shaking their hands after victory either...

I'm under no illusions whatsoever about Bush/McPalin's "base." But I STILL want to see the Patriot Act repealed and the Constitution restored, for the sake of ALL Americans--even Freepers, even though they don't deserve it.

[EC]

5. No, Obama doesn't scare me

Bush did...I'm sure Obama will pull back on it anyway...

[grannylib]

6. Wonder how many rePigs in Congress will bring up the line item veto

as an essential tool of the president once Barack is elected...bet they'll drop THAT like a hot potato too.

[JuniperLea]

7. SNORT!

Snicker!

:rofl:

So, if the FreepTards try any shenanigans, like rioting or something stupid like that, Obama can have them all rounded up and put in those new detention facilities... with no habeas corpus...

:rofl:

[OneGrassRoot]

8. I hope he reverses it, but in the meantime...

I hope the racist/homophobic FReeper-type dipshits are pissing all over themselves every minute of every day!!!!

Schadenfreude at its finest. :)

[PetrusMonsFormicarum]

9. Nelson Muntz says

Ha ha!

[bluestateguy]

10. and NSA warrantless wiretapping and the power to declare people "enemy combatants"

What they did not understand was that it is easy to favor giving the government ever more powers, just so long as you like the people running the government.

Chickens roosting....

[Ozma]

17. Yeah, maybe he could use that on Todd and Sarah Palin...

and all the AIC party members, secessionists within our borders.

[Motown_Johnny]

18. He should declare Bush and Cheney are enemy combatants and send their asses to Gitmo

[traveller]

11. well, the Democrats have been saying that they would cut some

of these executive powers.

[HughMoran]

57. Yes, those Democrats

I knew I'd find you here!

[lamp_shade]

12. Dare I say "sweet revenge"?

[Motown_Johnny]

13. AND the expanded definition of Executive Privilege.

[BootinUp]

14. lol. go ahead, get it all out now. nt

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

15. And don't forget the signing statements. Or the perfectly legal (not torture)

waterboarding.

Based on the precedents established by George Wanker Bush, President Obama can legally waterboard your sorry freeper asses. But that's not torture any more. In fact, your hero Rush Limpballs says it's hardly worse than a fraternity prank -- so don't worry.

:rofl:

[Peacetrain]

16. I can hear the hair being ripped out by the roots as I type

:rofl: payback

[Lucky 13]

19. Exploding heads. Everywhere.

[Rocknrule]

20. I can't wait for Gitmo to start filling up with McVeigh and Adkisson wannabes

[Faygo Kid]

21. Forgot about that. Thanks!

Great stuff.

[spanone]

22. i hope with the help of congress that he eliminates it

[Yavin4]

23. I Hope So As Well

But, I'd still love to see Freepers sweat about it. Maybe it will teach them something.

[Solomon]

25. He's got eight years to work on it.

:evilgrin:

[treestar]

33. Yeah, but not before having a little fun with the freepers first

:rofl:

[crossroads]

24. Freepers should be afraid, very very afraid! heheh

[jberryhill]

26. And the FEMA camps... Don't forget the FEMA camps

...and ALL of the black helicopters

...the alien technology at Area 54


AND

THE CHEMTRAIL PLANES AND MAPS OF WHERE YOU ALL LIVE:




Woot hoo!

[Generic Brad]

27. And there's no such thing as torture either

Just rough horseplay. Giddyup!

[JoFerret]

28. "He" - "That One" will have spies under your

bed!

"He" will watch your every move.
"He" will be everywhere.
There is NO ESCAPE.

Confess now.

[Solomon]

30. "That One"

:rofl:

[JoFerret]

68. Do you have the "falling sickness"?

.

[Arugula Latte]

29. You're either with us or you're against us, Freeps.

If you're against us, you can take a little breather in Gitmo.

[Miss Chybil]

31. That's why they're so afraid. Sceerd to death... nt

[Patiod]

32. No wonder they're yelling at those rallies

Karma biting you in the ass HURTS

[Miss Chybil]

36. Yep. But, I would imagine anything biting you in the ass would hurt! nt

[Clio the Leo]

35. Obama will get us if we DONT read books ...........

.... regardless of the subject matter.

Turn the TV off and get to the library NOW!!!! :)

Make sure at least one of the books is about math and/or science!

He may not put us in jail ..... but he will be VERY dissapointed in us ...... a fate worse than imprisonment.

[TTUBatfan2008]

37. Yeah and I hope he repeals it...

Time to restore the Constitution.

[Poseidan]

38. Obama & the Patriot Act

I neutralized the Bush administration for the sake of world safety. If Obama continues with the same dangerous policies, he will have to be neutralized as well. What we need to do is correct the flaws which allowed government dangers to enter our lives.

[barack the house]

40. Obama will have his very own gitmo too, so freeps dont try anything silly Biden would have that too>

Now I would not condone that but hey freepers you did insist. do you get it now. So step away from the power of the ring slowly and everything will be cool

[Convertee]

41. The Patriot Act will be abolished by Obama

And in fact we will see a constitutional amendment banning anything similiar from appearing ever again.

[barack the house]

42. I have every faith he will but just being playful. Freedom will be reinstated as it should be.

[Political Heretic]

62. I think you're pretty confused on just now progressive Obama is.

He's a pragmatic centrist, and has done nothing to indicate that he would do either of the things you mentioned.

[krispos42]

43. And even if the Act is repealed...

...there are 8 years of archives to go through.


So everything you're saying, now, my little Freepheads, about a n*gg** running the country and stuff? Yeah, he's going to find that and put you on his "buddy" list.

Every lying, hate-filled email you forwarded, giggling, to your fellow Freeptards... tracked.

Feeling all macho in Mommy's basement being the Internet Tough Guy, blogging about how you hope something unfortunate happened to Obama?

"Extraordinary Rendition", you domestic terrorist you!

:rofl:

[4lbs]

44. Just waiting for the day I can get my very own FreeperSkin coat....

We'll no longer need minks or leather.

FreeperSkin is far superior

Although Freeper meat I've heard tastes like chicken.


:D

[TheDonkey]

46. Dear Freepers, all your base belong to Obama.

[carnie_sf]

47. Has anyone posted this on free republic?

:evilgrin:

[No Elephants]

48. How you love your unitary executive now, creeps?

[specialed]

52. And one of his first acts as president should be to over turn those powers.

[alphafemale]

53. "Hey FReeper...Guess who's guilty of treason now, Beotch?"

:rofl:

[alphafemale]

54. "Hey FReeper...Guess who's guilty of treason now, Beotch?"

:rofl:

[MadHound]

55. Hopefully Obama has the wisdom to rescind all the of the Patriot Act,

Along with getting rid of Dept of Homeland Security, TIAA, and all the rest of the mechanism of a police state. First of all, I trust no one with that sort of power, and secondly this country needs to advance forward. Sadly, judging from his FISA vote, I doubt that Obama will do any of this.

[nc4bo]

56. Ok, your post just lifted my heart about 20 feet in the air. nt

[myrna minx]

59. Project X is finally coming to fruition. Mwahahahaha.

[sampsonblk]

60. K & R
