The Patriot Act Is Unconstitutional

The Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act, more commonly known as the Patriot Act, was passed by Congress in October 2001 to give law enforcement increased powers in the fight against terrorism. Running 342 pages, the law contains more than 150 sections, most of which are amendments to existing statutes. The Patriot Act was first presented to Congress five days after the terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, and passed 45 days later. Since when has government been so fast to do anything? This bill was already written long before 9/11. Think about that for a second. The law was passed by overwhelming majorities in both houses of Congress — by a 98-1 margin in the Senate and 356-66 in the House — but since then a growing number of legislators have become critical of it. Most of those expressing concern have been Democrats. So just what is The Patriot Act? The USA PATRIOT Act is an Act of Congress signed into law by US President George W. Bush on October 26, 2001. With its ten-letter abbreviation (USA PATRIOT) expanded, the Act’s full title is “Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001”. In response to the September 11 attacks and the 2001 anthrax attacks, Congress swiftly passed legislation to strengthen national security. On October 23, 2001, Republican Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner introduced H.R. 3162 incorporating provisions from a previously-sponsored House bill and a Senate bill also introduced earlier in the month. The next day, the Act passed the House by a vote of 357–66, with Democrats comprising the overwhelming portion of dissent. Those opposing the law have criticized its authorization of indefinite detentions of immigrants; the permission given law enforcement officers to search a home or business without the owner’s or the occupant’s consent or knowledge; the expanded use of National Security Letters, which allows the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to search telephone, e-mail, and financial records without a court order; and the expanded access of law enforcement agencies to business records, including library and financial records. Since its passage, several legal challenges have been brought against the act, and federal courts have ruled that a number of provisions are unconstitutional. Many of the act’s provisions were to sunset beginning December 31, 2005, approximately four years after its passage. In the months preceding the sunset date, anybody supporting the act... read more

Who Are you?

Any common sense understanding of individual rights and liberties dictates reasoning that public policy has force and effect over those unnatural persons and occupations having only a legal existence, while having absolutely none over a natural existing man born with inherent unalienable natural rights individually protected by a republican form of government. The legislate otherwise is to unlawfully usurp and convert the inherent unalienable rights or a natural man into the statutory privileges of a legal person. Chew on that for a bit.

WE DO LIVE IN SUCH A DUMB COUNTRY!!

If plastic water bottles are okay, but plastic bags are banned, — you might live in a nation (state) that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots. WE DO LIVE IN SUCH A DUMB COUNTRY!! If you can get arrested for hunting or fishing without a license, but not for entering and remaining in the country illegally — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots. If you have to get your parents’ permission to go on a field trip or to take an aspirin in school, but not to get an abortion — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots. If you MUST show your identification to board an airplane, cash a check, buy liquor, or check out a library book and rent a video, but not to vote for who runs the government — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots. If the government wants to prevent stable, law-abiding citizens from owning gun magazines that hold more than ten rounds, but gives twenty F-16 fighter jets to the crazy new leaders in Egypt — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots. If, in the nation’s largest city, you can buy two 16-ounce sodas, but not one 24-ounce soda, because 24-ounces of a sugary drink might make you fat — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots. If an 80-year-old woman who is confined to a wheelchair or a three-year-old girl can be strip-searched by the TSA at the airport, but a woman in a burka or a hijab is only subject to having her neck and head searched — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots. If your government believes that the best way to eradicate trillions of dollars of debt is to spend trillions more — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots. If a seven-year-old boy can be thrown out of school for saying his teacher is “cute” but hosting a sexual exploration or diversity class in grade school is perfectly acceptable — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.

We do not need permission to drive.

For all those out there that refuse to recognize that ALL state codes regulating “motor vehicles” and “transportation” ARE indeed COMMERCIAL ONLY regulations, look at what the New Hampshire Legislature is being asked to enact into law in accordance therewith: https://legiscan.com/NH/text/HB1778/id/1659567 Logical thinking and critical analysis prevails again, and we didn’t even need to raise idiotic issues of the Vatican, the Queen of England, the Post Master General, Accepted for Value, or the 14th Amendment to get it done.

Why You Should Never Trust Police And Always Record.

This Is Not Acceptable Under Any Circumstance. These guys are suppose to protect and serve. Somehow, the officer couldn’t tell the man dressed as a railroad worker was a railroad worker. So he began a cussing match with the man, physically assaulted him, and threatened to tase and arrest him. At one point he is in cuffs. Listen to the end of the video. Notice how the cops tries to get to understand his way of thinking. But when the worker tried to file a complaint, Walnut Ridge Police Department wrote the worker two citations. The citations were dismissed and the guy in the video is suing the city. See the video below. What do you think would have happened if this video did not see the light of day? Think about. Now… how may people are out there that have been falsely accused just like this and there is no video. How can we keep ignoring what is going on here. Their badge does not grant them any special rights over us. In fact, it takes some of them away. It’s a rigged game. They have made this system convenient to allow your rights to be violated in a way that you would much rather have that happen than stand up for them. That’s the best to describe what is happening to us. Take the Transportation Code and this could be applied to traffic statutes of any given state, or to the entire way in which law enforcement goes about its business. And it really is a business, driven by revenue, but possessing the power of the State and with a license to kill. Law enforcement is a revenue collector, producing obscenities like civil asset forfeiture where cash and property are seized from innocent people on made up suspicions. An officer’s first job when he gets you pulled over for a traffic stop is to attempt to escalate that stop to either a DUI or a drug bust. He doesn’t care about the traffic, that’s just his premise for pulling you over. His real goal is to get inside that car and see what else he can find. They are taught to find ways to keep the person in the car talking and answering questions that will allow them to continue their fishing expedition. Everything these officers do is meant to trick you into something that they can actually arrest you for. As soon as a cop puts... read more
