Well, Paul, when the second Civil War begins, the whole of America WILL be a battlefield, and the laws of war WILL Apply. Becareful how you word your statements. The problem isn't one of the entire world being a battlefield, but one where this Pres__ent believes he can order the death of Americans on his word alone.
Won't be the first time. Just ask the Bonus Army.
O don’t get your point. What Paul is on about is that there exists, somewhere, a line between where and upon whom the gubmint can make war, and where and upon whom it is restricted by constitutional and other laws. Obviously if there were another civil war there would be domestic battlefields, and plenty more—though not infinite—leeway for gubmint to treat US citizens as outlaws. But that’s a rather huge step in itself, declaring war on all or part of the American people. I’m satisfied to call it another issue altogether.
I speak as a WWII vet with overseas service. I believe Paul’s comments as to the whole world being a ‘battlefield’ is an apt analogy/possibility in this situation of bringing battlefield arms now being used around the world to bear on citizens of the USA in the USA. Obama’s enablers have no qualms about bringing the battle to USA citizens who Obama and his enablers would see the USA being in the ‘New World Order’.
You can bet, if drones had been around in 1862, Lincoln would have used them.
If there’s second Civil War there won’t be any law at all and the resulting dystopia will make everyone’s, left or right, worst nightmare look like Valhalla.
