There is a possibility of paranoia in this piece, but it certainly raises an issue worth keeping track of.

Yes, Hastings introduced a bill that basically lets Homeland security to use areas of certain military bases for essentially anything they want. Coupled with letting the AG define a domestic terrorist as anything he wants, then there are things to watch.

It is part of a pattern of “open” legislation that Congress is passing lately: TARP, Cap and Trade and now this all contain wide open provisions that give the government as much power as they want.

It's NOT the Democrats, per se, it's the ruling Oligarchy.

Nope doesn’t make it alright, but just wanted to let everyone know it’s not an issue on THIS bill.

Under the Espionage Act of 1917 and the Sedition Act of 1918, Wilson's administration shut down newspapers and magazines at an astounding pace. Indeed, any criticism of the government, even in your own home, could earn you a prison sentence. One man was brought to trial for explaining in his own home why he didn't want to buy Liberty Bonds.

The Wilson administration sanctioned what could be called an American fascisti, the American Protective League. The APL – a quarter million strong at its height, with offices in 600 cities – carried government-issued badges while beating up dissidents and protesters and conducting warrantless searches and interrogations. Even after the war, Wilson refused to release the last of America's political prisoners, leaving it to subsequent Republican administrations to free the anti-war Socialist Eugene V. Debs and others.

You want a more 'progressive' America? Careful what you wish for. Voters should remember what happened under Woodrow Wilson.

I would love it but I bet he would say..."hell no." Rush may know a great candidate who could run against Hastings.

Rush...come back from your vacation...we need your help...please get us a candidate to defeat Hastings.

Thank you.

It’s probably a majority-minority district, home to every Black Congressional Caucus member, all slightly to the left of Karl Marx (then again, so is B. Hussein).

If so, zero chance of a conservative winning, the only hope is that even his own voters get sick of him, like ‘Jihad Cindy’ McKinney, and he gets beaten in a primary by a less crazy (though still 98% socialist) Black dem.

They'll break their effin teeth on this one.
I have no doubt I will die in the fight.
I will not go to the camps, I will not take the mark.
