    There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    Conservatives are gonna perform another mental disconnect from reality and complain that he is once again infringing on our right to privacy with his liberal, socialist ideology.

    I soooo want to rub this in the face of the Obamaniacs but they are united in absolute silence. I guess we will have to wait for the messias for a little longer. That's what you get when you judge someone only on the color of his skin.

    muahahaha nobel price for peace biggest joke ever

    Bush did it now Obama did it...

    Does this mean that two wrongs do make a right?

    Did he promise at any point to revoke it or let it lapse? I honestly don't know the answer, pls someone do tell

    Also, the Patriot Act was one of those things that extended massive power to the federal government that is hard, very hard, to take away once enacted. No one wants to take it away because then any ill that befalls the nation will be the sole fault of the man who made the law go away (whether it really was, or not). Nobody wants to be "that guy." Just like once government healthcare is enacted it will be permanent because no one will want to be "that guy."

    Obama has always supported a Patriot Act, but one that strengthens civil liberties to some extent. I believe he is largely satisfied with the current bill, which contains some extra provisions for defending civil liberties [NOTE: Better =/= good, the bill is still awful].

    Obama's own view, as far as it can be discerned, from 2008, can be found here:

    Change does not imply a full and complete overhaul, a brave new world.

    Change, especially prudent change, is taking a supertanker and slightly changing its course by a few degrees. Which in the long term takes it to a completely different destination.

    Me I understand the people who thought Obama was the Messiah, and I understand the people who claim he isn't delivering anything: I understand both are based on a fundamental misunderstanding of the realm of the possible, and what is telling of a prudent understanding of this reality. (Prudence, moderation, a sober reflective style - one would almost forget all the other promises of Obama on which he is delivering)

    To which I should add, I thought Obama was changing America into a Marxist dictatorship, by rapidly destroying its fundamental principles. Apparantly, in a single breath, he is also criticised for not delivering any change.

    Thus we demonstrate the reason you should never, ever hand the Executive branch a pile of unsupervised powers. They never want to give them back. Kinda like giving senior citizens new entitlements that way.

    I have no sympathy for the Obamaniacs who didn't see this coming, and even less for the gloating conservatives who helped this happen in the first place.
