Nothing to see here. Now continue following the blue line to your designated section of the reeducation center. | ||

It has been covered on several sites. Chipping away at the Constitution once again. I wonder if this is the kind of government intervention the Occupiers thought they would get. Seems government is getting bolder in their disregard for the Constitutional freedoms. G | ||

What did they call the bill, probably something like "Secure Association for Everyone" (SAFE). | ||

OMG! Y'all are becoming "British" in what you will be subjected to under the law of the land. (Part of the reason that I decided to live in the USA) Live free or die! Chris C | ||

I might not agree with the "occupy" protests,but they still had the right to protest peacefully.Now I guess congress is rerighting/rewriting the bill of rights. | ||

The occupy folks The ones who didn't were, I hope and assume, dealt with in a lawful, legal manner.
Pretty cut and dried. Except it seems, as noted already, | ||

Just for emphasis: Congress shall make no law... Damnit! | ||

Emphasis mine.
For this, and many other reasons, Ron Paul deserves to be our next President. This man respects our Constitution and Bill of Rights. | ||

....H.R. 347 comes on the heels of the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which was signed by President Obama into law on December 31, 2011. The NDAA gives the president the power to order the assassination and incarceration of any person—including a US citizen—anywhere in the world without charge or trial. History does not repeat itself, but it sure does rhyme. "The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow the subject races to possess arms. History shows that all conquerors who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by so doing. Indeed, I would go so far as to say that the supply of arms to the underdogs is a sine qua non for the overthrow of any sovereignty. So let's not have any native militia or native police. German troops alone will bear the sole responsibility for the maintenance of law and order throughout the occupied Russian territories, and a system of military strong-points must be evolved to cover the entire occupied country." --Adolf Hitler, dinner talk on April 11, 1942, quoted in Hitler's Table Talk 1941-44: His Private Conversations, Second Edition (1973), Pg. 425-426. Translated by Norman Cameron and R. H. Stevens. Introduced and with a new preface by H. R. Trevor-Roper. The original German papers were known as Bormann-Vermerke.

This is why I can't support Romney, Newt or Santorum in this primary because they believe in sacrificing liberty for security. Someone needs to slam on the brakes and I'll vote for the guy who's most likely to do that. | ||

All the Republicans needed was a candidate . . just one candidate. But I fear too many of the good and qualified have been sent, like Stanley Druckemnmiiler, to the edge of the track. We've been subjected to an endless series of debates, during which foolish folks consumed with the quest for power, allowed themselves to be paraded into a game show format . . . . "in one word, describe your vision for the world". I doubt you could scour the ranks and find 4 less qualified folks. We deserve better leaders. By the way . . put in the column that hopes the final Republican nominee hasn't appeared yet. I'll know more next week . . . My Mom has appointments as each of the 4 comes to her office to meet with her to state their case. Better her than I. | ||

We deserve better leaders. We deserve a person with the integrity and courage of Ron Paul, someone who actually believes in the Constitution and our rights as American citizens and isn't just talking out his or her political ass. It's a shame such a Presidential candidate doesn't exist. Hey, wait a minute.................. | ||

I agree. But . . . Ron Paul and I have something in common. PRECISELY the same chance of being elected. Don't get me wrong . . he has some good ideas. But he's unelectable. It says something that "marketing and packaging" has come to hold more value than values, vision and integrity. | ||

Sounds like a perfect opportunity for your mother to speak and for them to listen. The country is at a turning point. The hour is near. The Titanic can miss the iceberg but it has to take evasive action NOW !!! | ||

The Socialists in the quoted article are largely correct - now that it's THEIR ox that is being gored. However...We don't deserve better leaders, we must DEMAND a better electorate! Those of us who can name candidates on (fill in the blank) reality show, who think that celebrities have anything of importance to say or do... WE are the ones that are driving the "DEMAND" for candidate-debates-as-entertainment. May as well have Donald Trump and the Miss Universe organization handle "debate" management. In our ignorance we expect to have complex issues "solved" in sound-bites. The public has been too long at the intellectual trough with their mouths open, standing and waiting for the next "feeding." The entertainment business (formerly referred to as "news") is paying attention. We seem to be getting what we demand. When I last owned a TV, a 21 inch tube was considered large enough and the internet was only used by Defense and a few odd characters. The rest of us were connecting to local bulletin boards. I am embarrassed by this all. (Message edited by slaughter on March 04, 2012) | ||

I agree with Slaughter. Too much of the electorate either doesn't care, or advocates for, Constitutional erosion and deficit spending. Add to that the coming tide of glittering generalities and attack ads from the Obama campaign machine, and you get a good idea of where this is going. | ||

We deserve better leaders. While the current candidates may not answer for all criterion, to all voters ANY of the repubs is better than the current Campainer in Thief Heinlen said it best, in essence that the president should be drug into office kicking and screaming, but when in place handles the office properly ,ALSO any one who whants the office has some alterior motive usualy self serving. Ron Paul's views on forign poloicy scare me otherwise I could vote for him, As for further eroding the constutional freedons we see a continuing assult on gun ownership, freedom of speech, theft by taxation, taxation with out represenataion, and it just goes on. in the end its }ABO (Message edited by oldog on March 08, 2012) | ||

No clue if this is accurate . . . it sure doesn't sound like Buffet. But . . . I'd go for this deal in a heartbeat.
