What amazes me is that I'll bet most of these people would have screamed loudly, demanding armed insurrection if this had been proposed under Clinton/Reno.
Mr. Franklin, we failed to keep our Republic. Our deepest apologies to you and every individual who gave his life in defense of the ideal to which you and the rest of the Founding Fathers gave birth. We have killed it.
Nossir. All you are reading is the total RINO-ization of this forum. JimRob still has the control and power to take it back from the RINOs. But if not, FR will be endorsing and applauding the likes of Olympia Snowe and John McCain, in time.

Absolutely -- but not because of love of Constitution, only for partisan gain. You have to understand, it was not a Freedom/Slavery thing, it was a Republican/Democrat thing. I didn't understand until recently.
Since about 5 or 6 months ago, the RINO's were given free reign here, and the Conservatives were not backed by moderator and forum owner alike.
It happens. Things change. So be it.

Why bother - I'm reading the replies on this thread which demonstrate the extreme partisanship, lack of foresight, clear misunderstanding of history and utterly abject lack of common sense on the part of those who think a bunch of executive branch 'crats deciding who is an enemy combatant without judicial oversight and absolute suspension of civil rights is a good thing.

It hasn't been that long ago that Freepers were worried about Clinton contriving some good-sounding reason to declare a State of Emergency and use that to somehow stay in power.
Well, it turns out we don't have to worry about anything like that.
The Republicans and Democrats are perfectly willing to take turns running our socialist government.
