Anyone paying attention knows that John McCain has been a Big-Government Globalist Neocon (BGGN) for virtually his entire senatorial career. As with many BGGNs hiding out in the Republican Party, McCain likes to talk about smaller government, but his track record is littered with the promotion of one big government program after another. But, what else would one expect from a member of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR)?
Lately, however, McCain has outdone himself. He has introduced two bills in the US Senate that are about as Machiavellian as they could be. I am referring to S.3081, a bill that would authorize the federal government to detain American citizens indefinitely without trial, and S.3002, a bill that would authorize the federal government to regulate vitamins, minerals, and virtually all health and natural food products.
According to Examiner.com, “Last week, John McCain introduced a bill into the U.S. Senate which, if passed, would actually allow U.S. citizens to be arrested and detained indefinitely, all without Miranda rights or ever being charged with a crime.”
The Examiner report continued by saying “This bill, introduced by McCain, who despite overwhelming evidence, claims to be a ‘conservative,’ would not only take away our right to a trial, but would also allow the federal government to arrest and imprison anyone the current administration deems hostile.
“Of course, that would be the same administration whose Homeland Security Secretary has classified veterans, retired law enforcement, Ron Paul [and Chuck Baldwin] supporters, and conservatives as ‘terrorists.’”
The Examiner report concluded by saying “If it was not clear before, it should be now that John McCain has as little respect for the Constitution as he does for our borders.”
Amen!
If Juan McCain gets his way, your constitutional right to a speedy trial by jury is gone, as well as your constitutional right to Habeas Corpus. But, of course, they would attempt to justify this by claiming it is being done in the name of national security and the war on terrorism.

Regarding McCain’s desire for the federal government to take over the vitamin industry, attorney Jonathan Emord wrote, “If you had any doubt about whether John McCain is a limited government conservative, you may put that doubt to rest–he is not. On February 3, 2010, John McCain introduced to the United States Senate the Dietary Supplement Safety Act of 2010. Reflecting upon this poorly written bill, I am struck by the fact that John McCain apparently sees little difference between fissile material and dietary supplements. He is intent on regulating supplements as if they were radioactive enriched uranium rather than bioactive vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and botanicals that more often than not help people.
“The Dietary Supplement Safety Act of 2010 enjoys support from the most liberal members of Congress. It is an invitation for the FDA to assume broad new powers and replicate here the system now operating in Europe over dietary supplements where dietary ingredients are presumed adulterated and unlawful to sell unless pre-approved by the government. In short, good bye free enterprise, good bye limited government, and hello more heavy handed, arbitrary and punitive FDA bias against the beleaguered dietary supplement industry.”

Please remember, this is the same John McCain that, during the 2008 Presidential campaign, said he would “order the secretary of the treasury to immediately buy up the bad home loan mortgages in America.” Of course, McCain didn’t explain where this authority would come from, because such a proposal has no legal or constitutional authority. And, by the way, this one little sentence, if implemented, would cost taxpayers some $300 billion.
McCain also said he wanted to tap Mr. Climate Change Wacko himself, Al Gore, “to work in his administration on developing a new and much tougher U.N.-sponsored global warming treaty.”

This is the same John McCain who addressed the Hoover Institution on May 1, 2007, and said if he were elected President, he would create a new international organization known as “The League of Democracies” (LD).
In advancing the LD, McCain said, “We should go further and start bringing democratic peoples and nations from around the world into one common organization, a worldwide League of Democracies.” He then added, “The new League of Democracies would form the core of an international order . . .”

If McCain and his CFR buddies get their way, this new LD would be a United Nations on steroids! As I said all over America on the campaign trail in 2008, “John McCain is a globalist.” Of course, so is Barack Obama. In fact, every President since (and including) George H.W. Bush has been a full-fledged, rotten-to-the-core globalist.
And, yes, this is the same Juan McCain who is one of the primary movers and shakers (along with Obama, Lindsey Graham, and G.W. Bush) attempting to provide amnesty to illegal aliens and open America’s borders to illegal immigration.
And now McCain wants the federal government to take over the vitamin industry, and he wants to give the federal government the power to jail American citizens indefinitely without trial.
The citizens of Arizona can do the American people–and liberty itself–a great favor this year by giving Senator John McCain his walking papers. Big-Government dinosaurs like McCain are an albatross around the neck of freedom and constitutional government. If we don’t send them packing now, the shackles they put around our throats will become insufferable.
“Chuck Baldwin, seriously????? A truther???? Wow, McCain is awful but using a Baldwin piece to say so is laughable.”
What? Do you expect the died in the wool RINO gop squatter support squad leaders to speak against McCain? Baldwin has the facts. You’ve got the excuses.
On Glenn Beck’s radio show yesterday, they were talking about deeming their taxes paid! We don’t really have to write the check just “deem” them paid and it will be so!
I see. So a truther has more credibility than a RINO. Got it. Thanks.
For the record, McCain and Baldwin are both idiots.
“I see. So a truther has more credibility than a RINO. Got it. Thanks.”
No, about the same.
Then we agree. It’s a miracle!!! :)
LMBO!!
How convenient that they’re working on a bill like this just as Americans are getting ready to rise up in the streets in revolt against Congress’ nullification of the US Constitution.
McCain is an Obama fellow-traveler, plain and simple.
McCain is an evil man - no doubt about it.
Alex Jones and his Truthers who support Ron Paul & Chuck Baldwin

Neo Leftist Chuck Baldwin a 9/11 Truther as well as Left Wing Michael Moore and his ilk believes this was an inside job.
Neo Leftist Chuck Baldwin parrots the left wing anti war
propaganda also found on the usual Marxist sites.
Neo Leftist Chuck Baldwin’s views on the border are laughable due to the fact he does not want to stop countries
such as Iran, North Korea and others as Ron Paul says, they are not a threat while Russia is in Iran helping to build
nuclear systems.
Nuclear missiles which can cross our border and hit America
I have never defended Chuck Baldwin. I have never posted words by Chuck Baldwin. I don’t give a damn about Chuck Baldwin. Changing the subject won’t change the Palin quotes you were given.

Not given quotes,
Sarah’s words can be heard on Youtube along with
transcripts.

this bill is the best bill this Country would ever pass
BTW, do you read what you’re posting? This article has it wrong and you just sheepishly and blindfully believed it.
Well the terrorist bill was co sponsored by Joseph Liebermann of CT. Is Liebermann an enemy too?
Lieberman is McCain’s useful idiot. Are you as well?
Did you read the bill that he and Liebermann has introduced?
