[StBernard] STOP USING GOOGLE AND THEIR PRODUCTS!!!

[Westley Annis]

Boy, are you naïve.  It sounds like whoever posted this needs to do HIS
homework.  The "Raw Story?"  Are you kidding me?  I can immediately tell you
know nothing about this "supposed" news website.  Use Bing or Yahoo to do a
search on them - Raw Story is one of the most radical "progressive" and
"liberal" websites on the internet.  Some of its founders and sponsors are
directly linked to the Communist Party USA.  I would have been more
impressed if you had used snopes.com.  But enough on your source.

More importantly, I didn't "pass along" anything.  The previous post was
conceived and originated by myself.  It was based on a story ran both by
Yahoo News and the Huffington Post - you know, the liberal radicals favorite
news source.  But I then did my own research to find they were actually
right on this one.

Let me suggest next time actually read what the proposed bill says compared
to what "candidate" Obama said during the 2008 presidential campaign
concerning the Patriot Act.  You'll notice there's a difference in the
language of each.  What candidate Obama wants in "his version" of the
Patriot Act and what the GOP wants with its extension are two different
beasts.  Part of what Obama wants he got in the recent unconstitutional
ruling by the FCC on "net neutrality" - but don't worry, the House
Republicans just yesterday tacked on and passed an amendment to a "Democrat
desired" appropriations bill that will in effect defund the FCC's efforts.
Besides, constitutional scholars are already saying the FCC ruling would get
struck down "again" in federal court as it did last year.

What you and everyone needs to keep in mind is, considering Obama's solid
track record of flip-flopping or saying one thing, but doing another, along
with total disregard to the U.S. Constitution - do you really "trust" Obama
and "whatever" position he takes on "any" issue?

Sometimes you need to check a thing for "truthiness" before just sending it

Faced with a looming vote on a planned one-year extension of special powers
authorized in the USA PATRIOT Act, the Obama White House did not object or
propose reforms, as the president vowed to do as a candidate. 

The Obama administration instead asked Congress ***to grant those powers for
an additional three years.***

As a US Senator and candidate for the presidency, Barack Obama never
actually argued for a repeal of the Bush administration's security
initiatives. Instead, he's consistently argued for enhanced judicial
oversight and a pullback on the most extreme elements of the bill, such as
the use of National Security Letters to search people's personal records
without a court-issued warrant.

While many in his own party opposed the PATRIOT Act outright, as president
Obama has said repeatedly that the emergency measures remain a valuable tool
for law enforcement engaged in national security prerogatives.

On Tuesday, ahead of a House vote to reauthorize the PATRIOT Act for another
year, the White House did something unexpected: they asked for even more.

A prepared statement issued Tuesday afternoon said that President Obama
"would strongly prefer enactment of reauthorizing legislation that would
extend these authorities until December 2013.
