As I have been told over and over,don't worry about it. It will not be used against you. The Government cannot do anything after the law takes effect than they could before it was was enacted.

As the Jews in 1930s Germany said to those Jews thatr tried to warn them as to what was coming,"Don't worry Hitler will not do that. It is just politics, he does not really mean what he is saying,ect. History tells a different story.

This is why rednecks (and rednecks come in many colors) need militias... those Rats and RINOs are spoiling for a civil war aren’t they?

The anaology doesnt really work when you note that the laws that Nazi germany passed are different from the law we are talking about. This one clearly-and in fact explicitly-ensures that for US citizens the govt does not have authority it did not have under the AUMF and the Patriot Act. Americans, including and perhaps especially Conservative Americans, during the years following 9/11 either didnt understand how broad the govt’s authority was with the AUMF or, more likely, found it necessary and acceptable at the time. I recognize that having Obama leading the executive branch makes things a lot scarier for many of us, but understanding the balancing act that is needed to fight terror stands. In the past decade, Conservatives were often the first to argue that being safe from terror threats means giving up certain freedoms that at one time Americans would have violently rioted at the thought of giving up. God knows how engraged Americans would have gotten if the Patriot Act and AUMF of 2001 were passed in the 60s or 70s. Hardly the same case as Nazi Germany, where there really was no terrorist threat comparable to what Americans have now. And we would have to look at the laws that were actually passed in succession in Nazi Germany to see how clearly they targeted Jews at first and then over time to look at that analogy any further.
