The "so called" Patriot act was passed by the Senate 98-1. Seems like a whole lot of Democratic Senators were tuned into GOP.tv that day.

What's funny is that an opinion piece in the Daily Kos was more balanced than basically any post by Riot. After reading the piece it seemed as though the writer purposely avoided holding a particular party (GOP 99% of the time in any Daily Kos piece) responsible as in his/her opinion the erosion of civil liberties has been occuring for a long time. Naturally this sentiment wasn't conveyed by Riots post. But hey thats what happens when you actually read the links.

LOL - and more balanced than any post by you, too Yes, I read the link, which is why I posted it. Even the part where I directly quoted the different sources of our removal of liberties (something you apparently didn't even notice before you attacked me for, you know, not doing that?)

I'm frankly surprised you read it at all, rather than dismiss it out-of-hand because it was posted on the KOS website. Good for you.

Yes, make the argument that the Democratic Party and those nasty "lefties" have been the ones spearheading the removal of our civil liberties generally. Wait, let me get some popcorn.

How Chuck's mind works:

Riot made a post link about how all of government is eroding our civil liberties.
Riot even quotes part of the post that says this.

But Chuck says Riot couldn't have read the post she posted, because Riot doesn't think all of government is eroding our civil liberties. Even though Riot just posted a post that said the opposite, and emphasized it.

In other words, no matter what I actually say or do, Chuck will freely attribute the opposite to me.

Yes, that was, you know, sort of the point I made with the link.

Duh.

We'll now let you tell us how the Democrats and those "lefties" are taking away our civil liberties: voting rights, abortion rights, unionization rights, worker protections, etc:













Crickets.

Nice straw man. Try again addressing the original question

Which parties are generally supportive of, and which are against: Glass-Steagel, Citizens United, abortion rights, voting rights, unionization rights, workers rights?

Try addressing the fact that virtually every Democrat in Congress voted in favor of the single biggest infringement on civil rights in modern US history and an elected Democratic President with majorities in both the House and Senate did absolutely nothing about it.

Then cry me more of a river...
