"People that think like bigdictator scare me."

Many, many common citizens will support the initiative. And, people wonder how Nazi Germany got started.

While Biden's proposal may be unecessary, if I am to error in the war on terrorism, I would prefer our military to have as few constraints as possible in order to effectively deter attacks from Arab-backed terrorists. Of course it is a balancing test with our personal liberties-- as anyone who has traveled through an airport since 9-11 can attest. I am however hypersensitive to this argument by socialist Democrats, and the Black Caucus in particular, that any restraint is a slippery slope which will lead to a police state.

If we listened to the Rep from Georgia, Cynthia McKinney (D), any security measure concieved for the welfare and safety of the American public will be inherently biased and racist against racial minorities. And this abuse represents a greater harm than what the measures are meant to cure. Simply put, I don't buy this race baiting agenda-- this attitude serves to facilitate Arab-backed terrorism against our Freedoms and Country.

Changing, amending, morphing, or whatever word they come up with to describe weaking Posse Comitatus to allow the military to enforce domestic laws will be a trigger event, mark my words. Yes, the borders need to be militarized, and more attention needs to be paid to keeping the bastards out, but way too many Americans, including a shocking number of Freepers, have the "anything to stop terrorism" mindset. If Biden gets his way, it will set in motion something that's long been anticipated among us kooks. 'Nuff said.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
