Excellent realization!

This is why I oppose the Patriot Act.

Of couse, none of this would be needed if Islamists were not allowed to immigrate (or be educated) here.

Know Islam, no peace.
No Islam, know peace.

“As for me, I think I’d know if I were doing something that might be close to the line of “international terrorism”.”

Probably not. You’d be surprised about the number of laws you break each and everyday, completely unbeknownst to you. In fact there is not accurate tally of the number of crimes you can commit. While this is only slightly a tangent, did you know that giving a plant to someone (tomato, etc.) is considered “Food Smuggling?” The average U.S. adult commits 3 FEDERAL felonies a day without knowing it. This is attributable to the vast enormity of the U.S. Criminal code (secret or not) and the flexibility that prosecutors have in applying a law to a situation, at their discretion. It would be silly to feel assured that you’re not breaking some law, because there’s more than you can possibly know, at least upwards of 10,000. Never underestimate the laws put in place to ensure you can be charged with a crime under ANY circumstances.

al-awaliki had RESCINDED his American citizenship.

No further legalities exist.

Game, set and match

If NYT and a bunch of Dem politicians want this information revealed, it is surely to advance the Progressive/left agenda against us- it’s nothing good.

Even if the New York Times is in the pocket of elite liberals, and owned by the Democrats, even if they're corrupt and on the take, and hate us... ops - forgot my point...never mind...

It isn’t a law, it is an interpretation of the law by the Regime...in other, more precise words...it is an edict...

Throughout history, all governments eventually turn on their own people. No matter how well designed, governments tend to attract those who crave power. There can be checks in place to try and limit their power, but like acid, over time, those in power begin to eat away at limitations to power. They begin to see themselves not as part of the public, but above the public. The elite.

It happened to the Roman Republic. It will happen to us.

The next election seems pivotal to me.

Whichever way it goes, it’s a part of God’s plan.

I try not to hyperventilate over it.

Ditto that’s if the USA goes down, the whole world will be back into the Dark Ages.

Thanks SaraJohnson.
...for refusing to divulge how its law enforcement interprets the Patriot Act.
