Napolitano and the Nazi-minded goons at Homeland Security have demonstrated that terrorism and terrorists are what and who they say they are. One memo can make any of us a terrorist, and one piece of bad legislation takes away our right to prove different. That’s what big government is all about.

What these idiots fail to understand is the the Federal Government is too incompetent and corrupt to be allowed to have this kind of power.

Let’s face it—hussein and his thugs can do anything on a whim ‘cause he says so. He can go around, over, or under any law ‘cause to deny him that privilege would be racist. Just ask the doj head, holder.

This is what frightens me. With 59 agencies and hundreds of thousands of government jobs created through obamacare, SCOTUS votes to kill it and the MSM and Rats blame the Repblicans for killing jobs in America.
And McConnell and Boehner give in.

The National Defense Authorization Act of 2012 that allows federal agents to arrest and indefinitely imprison U.S. citizens suspected of being terrorists, without a hearing or trial, is a clear abridgment of our constitutional rights. The Rand Paul- sponsored bill: 'Due Process Guarantee Act of 2011" is the antidote to that poison. Let's get it publicized and passed.

Given the opportunity to clarify existing law and confirm that American citizens are not subject to indefinite military detention at the order of the president Congress punted.I've come to the conclusion that Congress will pretty much let any president do pretty much what they want within certain boundaries fixed by the major parties. In return for that individual congressmen are left alone to loot the country through IPO's, illegal campaign contributions and outright graft. How else do they go into congress with modest incomes and come out a few years later worth millions?

Thanks for posting. I believe that most Americans are not even aware of the NDAA provisions. You can go to all the “major” MSM sites and search on NDAA and you will find NOTHING.
Recall each and every Congressperson that voted for it.

Funny how Congress can fight against light bulb bans, but something like this passes with no problems....We need to primary everybody who supported this legislation.

Thanks for this thread.
Anytime that I hear or read about Congress adding more power to the Executive Branch of our sorry US Federal Government I question why Congress bothers to even come to work.
We already have a Dictator (in his own mind), and so is it really true that our sorry RINOs in Congress have learned NOTHING????????????
