However, Holder says that in situations akin to the 1941 assault on Pearl Harbor or the September 11, 2001 attacks, the president might have to order the use of deadly force in the U.S.
"The question you have posed is entirely hypothetical, unlikely to occur, and one we hope no President will ever have to confront," Holder wrote. "It is possible, I supposed, to imagine an extraordinary circumstance in which it would be necessary and appropriate under the Constitution and applicable laws of the United States for the President to authorize the military to use lethal force within the territory of the United States. For example, the President could concievably have no choice but to authorize the military to use such force if necessary to protect the homeland in the circumstances of a catastrophic attack like the ones suffered on December 7, 1941, and September 11, 2001."

It is now shoot first concoct story later.
“What we have today is Pink Nazism.”
Are you referring to the pink triangle worn by homosexuals in the camps, and the book “The Pink Swastika”?
There are many people today in America just as good as the “greatest generation”. My point is that they seem to be getting fewer.
Americans of the 40s and 50s probably would not have elected Jimmy Carter. They surely would not have elected pathologically lying, narcissistic assclowns like Clinton and Obama.
American schools back then would not be teaching studies in the culture of our enemies. Mass killings at schools were not commonplace. Children could roam neighborhoods freely without worries of abduction.
Today’s America is far more morally bankrupt than the 40s and 50s. Our society has gone downhill quickly since they took prayer and the 10 commandments out of schools. Since Roe vs Wade, 10 times as many babies have been killed as the Nazis killed Jews.
Explore the “Wounded Knee Massacre” to see how firearm confiscation history turned out then.
I thought this would finally be too much for the swine at DU to swallow. Wrong! A few are outraged, but the vast majority are ok with it. Two of their major reasons for supporting this:
1) Cops killed Bonnie and Clyde in an ambush.
2) Lincoln declared martial law during the civil war.
There is a big difference between here and say Iraq/Afghanistan. There the GIs stayed in Green Zones, huge protected bases. Here DHS will not be protected like that. They are normal working stiffs living amongst us. They have to go to work on our streets. They have family and homes amongst us. Things will not go well with the confiscators.
post 18 was a good answer IMHO.
The GOP should not have ever let up on him, his racist rants, his ignorance of the laws, his pro turd pushing agenda, his lying etc are way out of bounds
So he would have killed all the Japanese instead of Interning them.
Why is Holder still there?
Because he does what his masters tell him to do.
“Then the answer to what you have posed is entirely hypothetical, unlikely to occur, and one we hope no citizen will ever have to confront,”
Throw it right back at them...I mean, as long as we are all being brutally honest and all that...This should be considered a reasonable response to such a hypothetical threat...
Right???
I think you can bet the eternal salvation of your soul that contingency plans for that scenario do not involve drones.
That’s what the DHS’ 2,700 Special Response Team (SRT) troop carriers are for.
They will have to live in them then. They all have homes to go back too after work. Never attack the enemy where he is strong.
Logistically difficult, yes.. They will try and draw us out.. Everyone should stay put for as long as tolerable then seek high ground.. Can’t believe we’re talking about this. America made a ‘grave’ mistake in 2008. LITERALLY.
This entire rotten, evil administration needs to be removed before America is dead. The nation is already on life support yet this pompous ass of a phony president continues to thrust his mug Mussolini-style into the lens of as many cameras as possible.
The complicit Congress should be jumping up on their little schoolroom-style desks crying for this traitorous rat and his sewer cronies to get out of town!
Keep it up Congress and you’ll be joining this disgraceful government in exile!
Not much wonder that the transformation( sic) president and his running dogs are waxing fascist, it was predicted by many in 2007, right here on Free Republic. But no one listened, and many thought us nuts.
How do you like Obama NOW?
And Obama wants to pave the way by regulating 2nd amendment rights out of existence? In history, fascists were gunned down by free people. Obama does not forget this and it weighs on him heavily. Right about now Obama should start looking over his shoulder, as history catches up to him.
The Opress is just beginning to awaken to the tyranny at the core of the so called Obama presidencey.

I have a feeling the Damn Yankee troops had nothing to do after the Civil War, so they went on a hell bent murderous rampage against the native Americans.
A lot of justification for Extra-Judical Executions, that would not have a chance in hell of surviving in court. That is, if it was ever actually decided on law instead of the political joke for justice we have now.
