Not a facist remark at all - I would have used sheep instead, but [some twit] has used the word far too often lately.
With regard to your comment about the 60s being over. There are more than a few people who only regret that the illegal violations of civil rights of hundreds of thousands of Americans were made public and that they were discontinued. There are people ON THIS BOARD - who reflect the feeling of at least some within the administration - that a large portion of the American people who disagree with their political philosophy are in fact traitors to their country.
I wouldn't trust Teddy Kennedy and Hillary Clinton with the powers we've given Bush and Ashcroft. Unlike many of the partisans around here, I wouldn't feel any different about it if they were the ones who held those powers.

Thats all fine. You have an opinion. I have an opinion. Everyone has an opinion. They are different opinions. You are acting as if there is a right opinion. There isn't on this issue as far as i believe. There are only degrees of concern. Your concerns are different than mine or at the very least, you have placed some concerns over others.
Why does it have to be any more complicated or deep than that? Why would you not respect the opinions of others that are fine with The Patriot Act? If they agree with you, presumably they are not "sheep" or Nazis... but rather on the "right side of the issue". That does not sound like a free world to me.
