As recently suggested, here's a thread to allow FReepers to post (if they want to) how they voted on this poll, why, etc. Let's keep it civil! :)

The United States Congress also has the power to issue subpoenas and can punish individuals who fail to comply by contempt of Congress, which is similar to contempt of court.

Have you already forgotten that little bald-headed ex-probate Judge down Florida way?

> If you are a true patriot, you should put your country first for a change, rather than putting your own rights on top of everything else!!!!

That line could have been barked by all the tyrants of history. Rather, I'm an >American<. I believe in the OLD American system of government. Not this pansy-assed EuroVersion where we get attacked and fold.

Believe it or not, America has faced much more perilous enemies and didn't see the need destroy the greatest political document devised by man.

There is only ONE way America can be defeated - from within, by ourselves. I will never choose that option.

Sec. 102. Sense of Congress condemning discrimination against Arab and Muslim Americans.

Why is this little diddy in the Patriot Act?

Why is there something in the UN reform act of 2005 that declares rebellion against any government an international crime?

TITLE IV--PROTECTING THE BORDER Subtitle A--Protecting the Northern Border

I looked and didn't see anything concerning our Southern Borders. If I missed it, could someone please point out my error.

[PaRebel]

Because the tendency is always for the powerful to protect each other, especially against the lumpenproletariet (that's us).

[the gillman@blacklagoon.com]

Perhaps they have a bigger, more insidious plan?

If they can slip it in, (the un) they will. Closer and closer to the One World Order we ride.

Checked out your links.

My poor grandchildren.

[the gillman@blacklagoon.com]

They are pplanning to dissolve the borders and start with the North American Community. (See links above)

If that treason goes well, then its on to the Great Hemispheric Guatemala.(FTAA)

If Americans resist, our military is overseas, but the UN will declare us international criminals.

Who knows what happens next, but Mexican army and police would be close by. Canadian too.

Sounds like the Old Soviet method, bring troops from Georgia to shoot the Belarus.

[the gillman@blacklagoon.com]

Grandchildren?

We're talking 2010.

If you don't have grandchildren now, you probably won't.

[the gillman@blacklagoon.com]

Sorry, that came out sounding harsh.

I know how you feel.

I don't have any yet, and wonder what kind of world will beleft for them, if they come.

(4) When American citizens commit acts of violence against those who are, or are perceived to be, of Arab or Muslim descent, they should be punished to the full extent of the law.

Was this added in the Patriot Act, for their protection when our next 9-11 happens?

Well, Congress certainly likes to think it does, anyway. But there's no support for that anywhere in the Constitution.

Then I say, let the games begin. There are millions of American households like mine who have watched events rolling toward us at greater and greater speed. We haven't been just sitting on our duffs, or typing on our keyboards.

Canadian military, now I'm scared.

If Americans resist, our military is overseas, but the UN will declare us international criminals.

Do you really think the UN will declare millions of seething, gun-toteing Americans as criminals? The wrath that would unleash...

[Protagoras]

Permanent. If you are not doing anything wrong, then you have nothing to worry about.

Same as tapping your phone, reading your mail, bugging your house. Following you around.

It wasn't harsh...it was the truth.

I have 9 living grandchildren.

[the gillman@blacklagoon.com]

Unfortunately, I doubt the sheeple will stir en masse, even for that.

Can't get much out of the vast realm of FReeperdom. Too busy swooning over pics of their god on the Day In The Life threads.

Nevertheless, I stand.

[the gillman@blacklagoon.com]

May they grow fast and strong.

Nevertheless, I stand.

But you don't stand alone.
