    Want to know why people in the US don't vote? Because nothing ever changes.

    That whole damn act should be repealed and laws enacted to prevent a similar act from being passed ever again!

    This doesn't surprise me at all. I tried to explain this sort of thing to the newly politically-charged people who honestly thought that Obama was "different" and would bring "change," but it fell on deaf ears.

    Politics as usual.

    But this upsets me less than the healthcare debacle. I knew that we'd never see social medicine on the scale that Obama promised during the election (far, far too many powerful lobbies and interests in the way... not to mention the hopelessly corrupt institution that is the US Congress,) but the level of ignorance displayed by people over the past months has been disgusting.

    See this morass of idiocy as an example (and please don't think we're all like that, Europeans.)

    So yeah, the Patriot Act. Politics as usual.

    Though I will say this:
    I'm very glad to have a President that can actually speak this time around.

    I'm also proud to have a President that is willing to call Kanye West a "*******."

    I've been calling Kanye West a ******* and a racist ever since his first album, but nobody listened to me.

    Someone should put him down like a dog...

    I thought this was funny.

    Until I realized that they were serious.

    At what point does the government have too much power? I don't agree with the many things this government is doing that wouldn't have even been dreamed of 50 years ago.
    Our forefathers are rolling in their graves.

    The tea parties, while good in theory, have been hijacked and turned into a platform of simple left bashing. The original point of them was to protest *all* government actions that were excessive, not just the ones from the left. That's why after the first one I went to, I got the hell out of there as fast as possible.
