I fancy myself a fan of civil liberties yet I can't get behind any of this. #1 and #3 I pretty much don't support, and I don't know to what they are referring for #2 and #4. Had they added something like "supports the Patriot Act as have prior administrations," they'd have gotten my attention. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
