Bush called a Senate filibuster "inexcusable."
"The senators obstructing the Patriot Act need to understand that the expiration of this vital law will endanger America and will leave us in a weaker position in the fight against brutal killers," Bush said.
At a separate media event, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales said, "If the impasse continues, when Americans wake up on January 1, we will not be as safe."

Ah, yes...keep on using the threat of a terrorist attack and the fear that goes with it as a tool to achieve your own agendas. That's a GREAT way to live up to the "moral" ideology that you waggle around in front of you as a faux persona.

FYI, the Patriot Act is one of those things that's good in theory, but easily taken too far. Bush and his administration have definitely taken it too far and used it, and other such things, as excuses to do pretty much whatever the hell they want in terms of torture, violation of privacy, etc.

The simple fact of the matter is - as long as there are people willing to die for a cause, there will be terrorism. In order to stop terrorism completely, you'd have to become an isolationist country, and privacy would be non-existent. In short, terrorism is NOT something you can just "wipe out" with warfare of any kind. If anything, all of this is FUELING more terrorist attacks to happen, not abating them.

They've got a large portion of our nation's people duped into buying into all this shit, which makes the brave people fighting against the administration rather unpopular in that public's eye. Nevertheless, thank god they do it regardless, otherwise there would be nothing trying to stop this bullshit.

Ah, hell...what's the point? No more political content until after Christmas! Have a Merry one, my little Quillmaniacs!
