Of course the Feds would win a hot war, but in this day and age of 24/7 news cycles any hot war would be preceded by a cold one that could easily be won by an underdog militia threatening to defend itself against a bloated federal army.

I ran across that site today while researching another issue. Didn’t stay long. Have no desire to return.

D-Day: [to Bluto] Let it go. War’s over, man. Wormer dropped the big one.
Bluto: What? Over? Did you say “over”? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!

Nothing is over until we decide it is.

Notice that none of the presidential candidates mentions this new law in any of their speeches.

Are we to assume that they are all in agreement with it?

Dictator Obama, indeed.

What about all those “Rethuglicans” who voted for this abomination to give Obama these dictatorial powers?

In fact, the Manchurian Candidate himself, John McPain, co-sponsored this monstrosity.

I don’t hear any of them backing away, apologizing, or calling for repeal.... Does anyone else?

There's a helluvalot they aren't saying. I suspect they don't want to stake out any positions that'll come back to haunt them should they win.

Damn discouraging.

I did a Google search and ABC news is the only MSM report I saw, on page 5, after about 50 non-MSM reports.

Thing is, the left is hopping mad, especially at DU.

Okay.

So were does Bachmann, Santorum, Gingrich, or any of the "not electable" candidates stand on this issue?

Who knows? They should stop beating on each other long enough for us to find out.

Anyone who complains about this will be denounced as a kook or soft on terror.

Paul made a fuss but the media ignored the story.

Well here are some people who in particular look to refute what detractors are saying regarding the abilities of NDAA 2012 to detain US citizens:

http://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/nt77r/the_14_senators_who_voted_against_ndaa_all_the/c3brs66

This next one is blatantly liberal but since it directly refutes the arguments from Gleen Greenwald, a lawyer who posts at Salon.com which is also hyper liberal, I figured it was worth showing too:

And Marco Rubio, respected as a true defender of US liberty here, gives his defense, just in case you have not already seen it:

oh definitely. The lefties I know on facebook had a big drive to send obama warnings that their supporters would stay home on election day if he signed it.

I gave them the thumbs up on these efforts but I didn’t think too much about it. You see, I did not believe obama would sign it. I thought there was no chance in hell he would sign it. I thought this was a bill that SOMEONE in congress did not WANT signed into law so they sabotaged it with this stupid provision for indefinite incarceration without a trial.

I am as stunned about him signing it as the lefties are.

Well Obama also had said, apparently, word for word : “My administration will not authorize the indefinite military detention without trial of American citizens. Indeed, I believe that doing so would break with our most important traditions and values as a nation.”

make of that what you will
