Holder: Obama could order lethal force in U.S.
Politico44 A Living Diary of the Obama Presidenc ^ | 3/5/13 | JOSH GERSTEIN

Posted on 03/05/2013 2:35:12 PM PST by ColdOne

However, Holder says that in situations akin to the 1941 assault on Pearl Harbor or the September 11, 2001 attacks, the president might have to order the use of deadly force in the U.S.

"The question you have posed is entirely hypothetical, unlikely to occur, and one we hope no President will ever have to confront," Holder wrote. "It is possible, I supposed, to imagine an extraordinary circumstance in which it would be necessary and appropriate under the Constitution and applicable laws of the United States for the President to authorize the military to use lethal force within the territory of the United States. For example, the President could concievably have no choice but to authorize the military to use such force if necessary to protect the homeland in the circumstances of a catastrophic attack like the ones suffered on December 7, 1941, and September 11, 2001."

Ooooooh, sounds like ahole holder and bozo are trying to show off their “muscles.” You know, “you gonna get it if you try any crap.”

We the People know how to handle these skinny neck, thin wristed socialist wimps. They talk big with body guards around. Catch them in an alley, alone, and they will pee in their pants, call out for their momma, and give you anything you want.

Why do I get the awful, unsettling feeling your novels are becoming prophetic?

Especially the last one of your trilogy...

Just a note to Eric the Red.
There were some German Leaders once upon a Time
That thought they had authority to kill whomever they
Wished also.

Then they lost a war and got hung. Hear’s to your Nuremberg trial!

“As I said on another thread, most conservatives said “Koresh had it coming”. Apparently without a trial. And they blamed him for the childrens’ deaths. As for those recordings saying “Set the fire here”, I wonder why those weren’t released until AFTER the fire instead of while it was burning. I don’t believe one damn word a federal agent says.”

Also, the NRA wanted to X-ray the illegally modified weapons confiscated to see if they had been converted before or after the fire. The illegal parts would not show sings of being exposed to the high heat if they were tampered with after the fact.

They were not allowed access to the weapons.

Rule of law is what used to separate the US from other godless, fascist countries.

It would be interesting and tragic to see what would happen if some of Holder’s own people like the New Black Pampers started some kind of insurrection. They have already been endorsed by our government to commit crimes against white people.

...the DOJ will grab all guns,

I think that should be modified to read "the DOJ will attempt to grab all guns."

“Hear’s to your Nuremberg trial!”

Sadly, there is a huge difference in the generation that imposed justice on the German Nazis and Americans today.

I’m concerned that there are just not enough younger people left that have the integrity and courage to deal with the negro nazi party ruling this country. I know many exist, but the movie “Valkyrie” shows what happens when the tide turns too late in the game.

I dare to say that the Kent State pictures to evoke sympathy are very wrong. The punks virtually burned the city the previous day and were that short of assault on the soldiers. I have always felt that they didn’t shoot enough of the bastards.

Sorry, but I have no sympathy for the deadbeats who attacked a city and then attacked the military. Those soldiers did what they had to do . . . defend themselves.

Thank you for your response. There are times when a president must act regardless of the difficulties presented by the choices.

Why is he still there? Because no one has the power to remove him.

“..THE most divisive President in U.S. history. Black vs. White. Rich vs. Poor. Citizen vs. Illegal alien. Muslim vs. Christian vs. Jew. America vs. Israel. Red vs. blue....”
Doing what communists do best: divide and conquer. The rest of the country had better dig their head out of the butt and soon. The sack of kenyan goat crap needs to be impeached.

It depends. The differences in generations may not be as great as they seem if your comparison is not to the Allied Forces. What we have today is Pink Nazism.

Not a ploy for sympathy but to point out that what Holder is declaring has been done before and numerous times sans the pilotless drones.

The people they fired on that actually got shot were nobodies as far as the organized attempt at disruption. They were, as the phrase goes, "useful idiots"...

The real culprits were smart enough not to be out in front and used those kids as "cannon fodder" and got the troops to play right into their plan.

And the rest is history...

Pretty much learned a long time ago that when those on the other side say they’re going to do something, they pretty much mean it.

Anything is possible with them. Might thale them ten years or so, but they mean it.

My novels are just a few scenarios that can play out. But they are getting closer to reality every day.
