Sounds a lot like my books, which are (so far) fiction.

Not for long man.

True, but a few years ago, I’d have told you that something like McCain-Feingold is nothing but fiction. I’d have told you that our electing an unreconstructed Marxist President is nothing but fiction.

Only it’s not.

[Jackson Brown]

Would Congress ever pass legislation that would allow the executive to determine at its own discretion whether political opponents had crossed the line into domestic terrorists and build camps in which to keep them? Sounds like something out of 20th-century totalitarian systems or dystopian fiction.

Do a little research about “Progressive” Woodrow Wilson an his political prisoners. This is nothing new.

Ohhhhhhh, snap!!!

[freekitty]

Snap is right. This man is blaming the wrong people who put him in jail. It wasn’t the public; it was him. Now we are seeing some crazies in Congress.

I would gladly swap Zelaya for Obama......less Marxist baggage.

I know that they will come for me someday ...

>You know, I will be sad to be locked up but it will be nice to finally meet all of you FReepers.<

i’ll be there don’t worry .. just keep shouting “Munz”

I’ll come running with a smile on my face, will be nice to meet you people finally and have FRiends around.

We are gonna be there a long time I think.

Yeah, right. The earthquake might be in an entirely different zone.

If we are all in prison, who is going to pay the taxes that Hastings' constituents need for their gubmint handouts?

[JrsyJack]

Holder could be the greatest AG in the history of the US but still should not have the absolute authority to make that designation, especially after the track record of the DHS in using vague parameters and broad-based smears of legitimate political protest earlier this year.

Pardon me but no one in Government has that authority, neither individually nor as part of a committee, panel, commission or whatever. To even think for a minute that the act of disagreeing with the policies of an administration is criminal, is in and of itself a violation of the Oath of Office that every Congressman, Senator and elected official swears before taking that office. Hastings and anyone that agrees with him should be forced to resign immediately and stripped of every privilege of their office.

I remember learning this in school and hearing about this more on Glenn Beck's show. See my tagline below.

[rfreedom4u]

I will NEVER be locked up. Woe to the ones who try. I may not “win” my fight but I’ll damn sure make them know they’ve been in one.

[rfreedom4u]

I’m sure it’ll be easy to convert the prison into a work farm.

I’m sure it’ll be easy to convert the prison into a work farm.

That's how the Soviet Union stayed afloat so many years.

Socialism is all about "muzzling the ox".

[redgolum]

Twilight of the age.

Loose lips sink ships.

[sport]

It won’t be too long. Just long enough for them to warm up the furnace or get the firing squad in place.
