Remember that Department of Homeland Security Report warning people to "watch out" for returning veterans as well as those who oppose government policy on guns, abortion, immigration, states' rights, etc.

Well hows this for scary? Florida Congressman Alcee Hasting put an amendment on the defense bill that would allow the White House categorize political opponents as hate groups, throw them in jail. It gets worse, Hastings is also sponsoring a bill that will build prison camps to house these political opponents.

Holy Cow, This is America:

Rotsa ruck rounding us all up you bunch of nazis.

[manc]

send all liberals to the north east and let them see their liberal utopia.

[Gaffer]

All you do-gooder people in this country who think that no self-respecting American would allow this had better man-the-hell up and recognize. Liberals are evil and they want to enslave your body and mind according to their will. They crave power - especially power over those who don’t think like them

[devistate one four]

This means WAR!

[tacticalogic]

Sounds like a good way to start a war.

Nationality: United States
Executive summary: Congressman, Florida 23rd

First African-American judge appointed to Florida (appointed by Jimmy Carter to the Southern District of Florida in 1979), Hastings was impeached and removed from office in 1989 -- two counts, perjury and conspiracy to obstruct justice, one of only twelve judges in American history to be afforded this indignity. The basis of the two charges was his lying about the fixing of cases in his court. However, even after impeachment he is the first African-American to be elected to Congress from Florida since the Reconstruction, representing Dade and Broward Counties, and several others. He is a member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.

Hastings is playing with fire!

[MarkL]

Let's not forget, that it was the liberal parton saint, FDR, who was behind the internment of Americans of Japanese decent during WWII.

Scratch a liberal, and just barely beneath the surface you'll find a stalinist.

The impeached Federal Judge needs to be sent away...AGAIN!

[flash2368]

She should be impeached...OR WORSE for even suggesting such a thing.

[autumnraine]

This amendment was left off the final bill.
