Patriot Act derailed? I hope
CNN in a manipulatively titled article reports that [the] “Senate fails to reauthorize Patriot Act“, which translated from corpo-speech means that the Senate has so far refused to renew it.
I hope the renewal fails and that Dec. 31st comes and goes without the Patriot Act, a.k.a the Police State Act, renewed.
CNN also fails to indicate that the quote of Senator John Sununu, one of the few brave Republicans who oppose the renewal, “Those that would give up essential liberties in pursuit in a little temporary security deserve neither liberty nor security” is a direct paraphrase of the famous quote by Benjamin Franklin, or perhaps Richard Jackson: “Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.”
