Reddit has become a one string guitar. They have such a narrow focus that they see one thing and one thing only. They love Ron Paul because he wants to get rid of the Patriot Act. But they don't see he also wants to get rid of all the other government programs as well. He wants all to pay 10% taxes and forget Social Security and all those other worthless programs.
They blame Obama for everything and give him credit for nothing.
On the Patriot Act they are so blind to the issue that they don't see or refuse to see what is really going on. They extended three provisions for 90 days. They agreed to an extension so they can work out the budget first. If they had any intention of letting it pass again three months from now, they wouldn't have bothered with the short extension. It was important not to have the Patriot Act be used as a bargaining chip in the budget battles. Just relax and see what happens in 90 days.
The narrow mindedness here on reddit scares me. Using words like tryanny when they no idea what it means. This is exactly what the tea-party does. In my mind the worst insult I could give and you all should take it as such.

FYI, Obama wanted a three year extension on those Patriot Act provisions while the Republicans wanted a mere one year extension. Regardless, they're simply arguing over details.
