The Declaration of Independance was written by a bunch of revolutionaries, and would be “illegal” under the Patriot Act.
That type of radical thought cannot be tolerated by the real protectors of our freedom, you know – every one who voted for the Patriot Act which gives us freedom by taking away our right to free speach, right to privacy, and right not to be wiretaped or searched without a court order. Oh yea, and the right to file a writ of habius corpus against unlawful detention – prison for life with no charges or trial.
