NDAA - “Well it passed by a huge majority through Congress, including Congressmen and Congresswomen whom Freepers by and large respect as true conservative defenders of US liberty. Are they all traitors too, or maybe this bill doesnt actually give the govt more power to detain citizens than they have already had.”
Lemme see... Obama said, when he signed it: “Moreover, I want to clarify that my Administration will not authorize the indefinite military detention without trial of American citizens.” The history of this administration shows a high likelihood that this is pony shit and it’s obvious what the pony is.
Do I believe that the Congress is composted of traitors? Not wholy. Some are fools and some probably got snookered.
But I beleive that many Congress members, including genuinely Conservative Congress members, drafted and supported the bill and it wasnt because Obama tricked them or forced them into doing it and it wasnt because they suddenly decided that they think the Constitution shouldnt be taken seriously and followed. Of course it has provisions that can be severely misused and there are numerous things not to like, but some sort of balance is needed before declaring it a conspiracy or black helicopter plot or something.
