As long as law enforcement looks the other way, the political powers-that-be can do what they darn well please. That’s how we got Obama.

““The race is not [always] to the swift, nor the battle to the strong.” (From Ecclesiastes 9:11)
Ecclesiastes 9:11 (King James Version)
11 I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.”
THANK YOU FOR POSTING THAT!!!!!!!
Come get some.
Need to fix a typo in the poster. But very appropriate.
Hey ADL, Tea Partiers are better friends to the Jews and Israel than you are. Take your self-loathing destructiveness elsewhere.
Bunch of Nazis!
The left will always try to silence dissent. We all are evil “counter revolutionaries”.
The charge of racism is to be one of their main tools, but the simple goal is to shut you the hell up, whatever it takes.
McCain-Lieberman Bill Would Deny Civilian Trials for "Enemy Belligerents"
The stated purpose of the bill is to ban civilian trials for those designated by the federal government as “enemy belligerents.” The bill would bar such individuals from receiving the legal rights usually afforded those accused of crimes in the United States. “Enemy belligerents” would be taken into military custody for the purposes of interrogation and determination of their status. Some, after interrogation and determination of status, may become "high-level detainees."
Who could be designated “enemy belligerents” and thereby denied the right to a civilian trial? Would the designation be limited to combatants captured on a battlefield, or could it be extended to others — including, potentially, even law-abiding U.S. citizens who dissent from an official point of view or policy?
A person may become a “high-value detainee” if he or she “meets the criteria for treatment as such established in the regulations required by subsection (d).” These regulations are:
• The “potential threat” the person poses for an attack on civilians or civilian facilities. Questions: What is meant by a potential threat? How much potential is required? Does potential involve actions, or just speech within an assembly of dissenting voices which someone in government has interpreted as a threat?
• The “potential threat” the person poses to U.S. military personnel or facilities. The same questions apply.
• The “potential intelligence” value of the individual. See below.
• “Membership in al Qaeda or in a terrorist group affiliated with al Qaeda.”
• “Such other matters as the President considers appropriate.”
This last, of course, could mean anything any President wants it to mean, whether it is Obama or someone else sitting in the Oval Office in the future. This makes the meaning high-value detainee completely open-ended!
Toubled Times.
You are sharp. I missed it.
You are VERY welcome. I was happy to!
Gee what a shock, they only took examples of posts by right wingers because they figured out the country is safe from all the hateful posts on left wing sites! Well that’s sure fair, let’s turn all this over to them. /s
It's that simple.
Think of it this way: They have put a gun to their own heads. They insist on doing this, they are in effect committing suicide.
The time comes, remember this as well... It isn't the foot soldier or the local law enforcement guy following orders that is the real threat. It's the legislator/litigator/bureaucrat giving the orders that needs to go.

Thanks!
ahhh geee.....they cited no quotes by freepers?

ADL has said that Israel is oppressing Palestinians!
BTW ADL has joined the Brady Campaign to call for a complete ban on all semi-automatic rifles, pump action shotguns, and ALL handguns. This would not only cover ones to be made, but require Americans to turn their weapons in for no compensation.
Spot on. And see how the powers that be are doing everything they can to push our buttons! They aren’t stupid...they know exactly what they are doing. I wonder which one of Alinsky’s rules this falls under?
Which typo?
