Nancy Pelosi was unable to install disgraced former judge Alcee Hastings — who was impeached for bribery and perjury, and then hit a further low by cochairing Shrillary's presidential campaign — as Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee. But that doesn't mean this felonious Congresscritter (D-FL) hasn't been busily participating in the destruction of our country.
An amendment to a bill swiftly moving through the US Congress will allow the Obama Administration's Attorney General to classify Americans as domestic terrorists if they are pro-life, pro-gun and anti-big government.
Impeached Florida judge — now a Democrat Party member of the House of Representatives — Rep. Alcee Hastings introduced what some claim is a disturbing piece of legislation. Hasting's amendment calls for the Attorney General to have discretion over who is called a terrorist and what groups will be treated as terrorist groups.
Imagine the irony of patriots being denounced as terrorists by the scuttling cockroach Holder, the best friend of any real terrorist.
"This is arguably one of the worst pieces of legislation to come down the pike in a long, long time. In essence Attorney General Eric Holder — a Bill Clinton retread — will have the discretion to label Americans terrorists. Hastings is a dangerous man and should be forced to resign from congress. He's also proposed the creation of "emergency camps" that are nothing more than prisons," warns political strategist Mike Baker.
"This amendment is part and parcel of the trend in this country to suppress dissent by patriots by calling them domestic terrorists," he added.
The trend was given a major boost by Comrade Obama's preposterous choice for head of Homeland Security:
In an unclassified report entitled "Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment," Secretary for Homeland Security Janet Napolitano and her agency included the following description of "extremists:"
"Rightwing extremism in the United States can be broadly divided into those groups, movements, and adherents that are primarily hate-oriented (based on hatred of particular religious, racial or ethnic groups), and those that are mainly antigovernment, rejecting federal authority in favor of state or local authority, or rejecting government authority entirely. It may include groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration."
If "terrorists" are defined as those who believe in states rights, border defense, the Second Amendment, and/or the sanctity of human life, the government will need new facilities to house them all. Hastings is on top of it:
Rep. Alcee Hastings also introduced what many say is another disturbing piece of legislation. That new bill calls for the Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano to build at least six facilities that can be designated as "emergency centers. Hastings' rationale for such facilities is to gather and "house" civilians on what are basically detention centers guarded by armed soldiers or paramilitary troops.
The House bill (HR 645) — National Emergency Centers Establishment Act — is not even on the radar of members of the elite media. According to critics of the plan, if passed the government will create camps or centers that by their nature restrict the activities of US citizens herded into them.
In the near future, voicing opposition to the radical left agenda being rammed down our country's throat could land you in a concentration camp. Now's a good time to start resisting what liberals are doing to this country, because it won't be getting any easier.
Some of us warned you about what would happen to the powers that were being handed to Dubya like party favors....
Alcee Hastings, FOAD!
Can we get out the Tar and Feathers now?
Help is on the way!
Sarah! Sarah! Sarah!
If everyone who loves Sarah, sends 10 bucks to her legal defense fund, her legal debts from frivolous lawsuits will be paid PDQ.
LOL. The morons who voted him into office knew he was a crook and probably know that he is a loon. Resign? He is now a hero speaking truth to power, or whatever it is that Cynthia McKinney does.
See you in the gulag tovarsh
If true, this is terrifying. I’m praying it is hyperbole.
It was a Republican who got this scum off the Florida bench. And yeah, he'll come back on us for it...
Storm clouds are rumbling on the horizon. Keep your powder dry.
Who was the TV Minister that said he had a dream that there would be camps like this with Gays and Wiccans as guards?
Who wants to bet that the pig Hastings thinks pedophile Michael ( the creepy ) Jackson should be honored by Congress?
“That new bill calls for the Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano to build at least six facilities that can be designated as “emergency centers. Hastings’ rationale for such facilities is to gather and “house” civilians on what are basically detention centers guarded by armed soldiers or paramilitary troops.

These are the same people who demand that illegal aliens not be detained or deported.
WAKE UP!
I look for the Rats to make an attempt to overturn the 2nd amendment, under the guise of a “national emergency”.
This is aimed at the Whites!
they’ve obviously got to keep this one step ahead of Bam’s collapsing poll numbers...
Well, I just read the text of the original bill, and it says nothing about terrorists. It is to establish centers on military bases for temporarily housing citizens who are displaced by natural disasters such as Katrina.
Yeah, I can already hear the complaints about the military’s accomodations.
Like Steve, I too just read the proposed legislation. I really dont think it says what this article claims.
Its purpose is to set up emergency shelters to be used in the event of national disasters. While it is true that it includes a nonspecific clause allowing the Director of Homeland Security to use the centers for “other” purposes deemed appropriate, I believe that would be purposes appropriate to the intent of the legislation.
I dont believe Janet Napolitano is being given the right to declare a person a national security risk and put him in a detention center.
