The patriot act is a good thing for law abiding Americans. Liberals and the like want it repealed because they have an "anything goes" mentality.
In a time of crisis, as we are in, we must give a little to help defend ourselves. Law abiding citizens have no worries when it comes to the patriot act. Do you have a problem with random drunk-driving checkpoints? Is that a "police state"? It could be construed as one, but obviously it is not.
A police state is one where personal freedoms are curtailed to the government's benefit and people's behaviors are directed by the state--please see North Korea. The patriot act is not designed to do this, our LEGAL behaviors and freedoms are not curtailed or directed by the state. this act is designed to eavesdrop on suspected terror/criminal elements in a desire to preemptively disrupt terror activities. What are people so afraid of? If you're doing nothing wrong, then you should have no worries. Get a grip and be brave. The same people that are screaming about the patriot act will be the same ones screaming about how Bush 'failed us again' if another terror attack comes. What would you have us do? I agree that we need to toughen our borders, but you have the bleeding hearts down there saying how bad we are to deny the illegals a living wage, and how most of the jobs they do wouldnt be done by Americans anyway.
