You are right, not only GW Bush but most of our politicians today appear not to have ever read the Constitution.

The Constitution specifically forbids the establishment of a "Standing Army" Yet today we have a standing army of professional soldiers.

The idea of granting the Army "Police Powers" within our country can only appeal to the traitorous politicians who want to grab power. The Nazis under Hitler and the Communists under Stalin perfected this means of enslavement of the populace in general. Grant the Army police powers and all freedom in our country will be gone.

The Sons of Liberty may soon have to rise up and take our country back from the Traitors who are now running it. The "Political Class" had better study the French Revolution, the events that lead up to it, and the draconian upheaval afterward. Most of the Political Class of that time wound up losing their collective heads.

Unfortunately I do not believe that most of our current crop of politicians have the brain power to understand what the unforeseen consequences of their actions could bring about in the resulting cataclysmic upheaval if they continue with their traitorous progression toward a Totalitarian State.

The Terrorists we have to fear the most are those esconced within our government. in the White House, in both Houses of Congress and even a few in the SCOTUS, to say nothing of the ones hidden within the ranks of the bureaucrats.

That's my opinion

That's not the kind of revolution anyone wants--The Reign of Terror didn't solve anything, just resulted in the murder of so many and opened the door to a REAL tyrant.

No, it's a grace of God when an armed revolution actually results in a new political order that is stable and morally superior to the old--because it's so hard to keep a revolution from corrupting the revolutionaries.

Old Phil...

Thank you for an intelligent overview of the totality of the consequences of such an abhorrent proposal.

Such an appraisal should be an eye opener for some of the younger ones here that do not have a appreciation of history.

A question worth asking..Does anyone believe Bush understands what he is creating with such proposals. If he does what is his intent?
