Do not make the mistake of thinking that because my conclusion is the same as another person's that my reasoning is the same
Just thought you'd like to know
When Patriot II was first leaked, it was suggested it was to get a sense of what public reaction would be to such an Orwellian scheme. In general the reaction was not favorable.
Now They are trying to trying to sneak Patriot II through piecemeal. The first major chunk is called the Victory Act. TalkLeft gives a brief overview of it's intent. The creepiest aspect is the obvious redefinition of drug dealers as terrorists…and you can bet they'll charge medical marijuana distributors under this bill if it passes. The reaction to this slightly smaller piece of garbage is about what you'd expect.
Spread the word. Make noise about this.
