Lock and load ‘em if you got them.

What a stupid attitude. When it gets to that point, you won't stand a chance. Did you see Waco on TV? They learned a lot from that. Did you learn anything?

[Notary Sojac]

Frightening is a word which would describe creating such a power to the likes of Hillary Clinton. By extension, one should be very very concerned about empowering any Democrat to evade the Bill of Rights.

Here's where you go a little bit astray.

I wouldn't give this power to Reagan, Coolidge, or Washington either.

[LevinFan]

You mean they wii be wipping their @sses with the Constitution.

[GlockThe Vote]

Bi partisan treason.

Hitler could not have committed his atrocities without first having available the organizational infrastructure to carry out his wishes.

The new Police State of the USA is being set up now.

Organizations are being built up to later serve Police State tyrannical purposes.

Freedom is dying out. The U.S.Constitution will be no longer in effect, particularly once the Supreme Court is finally stacked with more Leftists.

And the citizens? Not opposing as long as they vote Dem or RINO.

So what then? Meekly march into the gulag?

The most unsettling aspect is that the deciding factor in determining if an individual can be detained indefinitely is not any proof of guilt, but instead entirely by officials in the Executive Branch, which, according to the ACLU would be “following some future agency regulations.”

Apparently so. They are too strong, give up now.(/s) Or not.

Have faith in the Savior (He is in control, the good guys win in the end) and fight the Good fight. Thats what this life is for, then on to the reward.

When I'm in agreement with the ACLU, you know something isn't right!!!

I think 90% of Americans were for the Patriot Act following 9/11 and that was because of fear, other 10% hate America and want it destroyed.

But this isn't directed at Al-Qaeda, they get their $100,000 a year prison vacation, with ethnic meals and probably a spa.

This is directed towards, "those who cling to their guns and religion..."

Who here lives in GA? Let’s exchange means of contact. We may need to have friends in local places, and friends in faraway places too.

I second that for IL FReepers... we need a backup, Barry can pull the plug on the Internet at will.

[GlockThe Vote]

And people get on me for supporting Ron Paul? LOL.

Romney, Newt, Cain, Santorum, Perry - would all sign this law if it came to them.

[jurroppi1]

Right, they only have so many drones and missiles. They can’t get to everyone before they complete their intended mission. Eventually, numbers outweigh everything other than nuking your own country.

[GlockThe Vote]

Patriot Act and Homeland Security Dept. need to go.

[EBH]

I can think of only one reason for them to be pursuing this now: they are anticipating massive civil unrest in the not-too-distant future.

The problem is it won't be the ones they have demonized that start that civil unrest. It will be their own occupation useful idiots. Then, it will be those of defending our lives, families and properties that are made to disappear.

All they will need is to walk into your home or refuge and find 7 days or more of food provisions...

This is all very, very NUTS! It is amazing to watch the hand of evil work its way through ...

[sam_paine]

So what then? Meekly march into the gulag?

Don't fight the last war is the first rule.

Don't plan to be cannon fodder is the second rule.

You and I have actually talked about this offline.

What I'm seeing here is a bunch of potential long-haul allies itching to go out and commit suicide at the first sign of Lexington Green instead.

[Lazamataz]

Ok, you've said what NOT to do.

But what, to do?

Ron Paul just issued a warning this week on collapse.

He is spot on.

For Frak’s sake everyone: READ the bill. Even if you don’t have time for that, at least READ the highlighted section:

(1) UNITED STATES CITIZENS.—The requirement to detain a person in military custody under this section does not extend to citizens of the United States.

I’m not sure how much clearer that needs to be.
