Patriot Act Redux

The House of Representatives has rubber stamped the rush-to-judgment Patriot Act again.

That's really sad. To think they could have rushed out just the right legislation in the emotion-laden days following 9/11 is preposterous, but it's nothing new for this government.

Especially not surprising was the number of Reps using the recent London violence in literally scaring up support. That's just the way this crowd operates, and just the way the jihadists say they want it.

The administration and its congressional lackeys want us panting after material gain all the while whipped with fear and prodded by anger to give them all the power, political and monetary, they can wield.

To date, they're pretty much having it their way.
