Seven Elements Of Obama's Leaked Drone Memo That Should Alarm Americans en-us Wed, 31 Dec 1969 19:00:00 -0500 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 00:49:46 -0400 Geoffrey Ingersoll James Thu, 07 Feb 2013 01:18:33 -0500 Exercise your first amendment rights! Paul Banks Thu, 07 Feb 2013 00:14:17 -0500 Americans are to worried about who is going to win the Super Bowl, and the Grammies for this to be of any concern. // sad bondcliff Wed, 06 Feb 2013 14:20:06 -0500 So, using your rational, the next expected move would be a Constitutional crisis, triggering the enacting of martial law? Elections suspended, troops in the streets, free press squashed, guns confiscated and curfews imposed? It appears that the 5th and a14th amendments dealing with due process are already disposed of. The 2nd is being attacked as outdated and the 1st is not really a free press, it is an agenda driven subsidiary of the entertainment industry. Maybe your onto something. Truthsayer Wed, 06 Feb 2013 07:39:51 -0500 Not sure which country you're from Mac, but in the US, this generation of youth have proved that they are spoiled, selfish, clueless and functionally illiterate. They crumble at the slightest criticism, and quit at the slightest challenge. Most kids under 30 barely know what the Constitution is, let alone how it impacts them. "Yup" is absolutely right, that Americans will not be alarmed until their meatlover's pizza does not shot up in 30 mins or less--then they'll sue, and go back to bed. 225 years of greatness has been undone in a little over a decade. Gravity, I guess. Easier to take down than build up. But a damn shame. Our grandfathers would take us to the woodshed if they were here to see how we destroyed what they fought for. nerdbert Tue, 05 Feb 2013 22:36:14 -0500 It's called Black Humor. Put it simply this way: the reality of the situation is the Democrats won't fight this until it's a Republican who proposes it, and the press will bury it because it would hurt a Democratic president. It's the same ol' story all the time: where were the Libyan war protesters? Where are the protesters to close Guantanamo now? Where are the protesters against indefinite detention? There were tons of protests and fights against many of those exact things that Obama is doing and expanding now. Yeah, it's a challenge to liberals to wrap their minds around it, but there's no more dangerous situation for civil liberties is a Democratic President expanding executive power unchecked. But maybe your liberal mind can wrap around this: imagine what the next conservative president will do with all these powers the far-left Obama has exercised and made legitimate. dknola Tue, 05 Feb 2013 22:11:59 -0500 After the Patriot Act was passed, without 99% of the Congress bothering to reading it, all Americans should have known the government was pushing us into a Forever War. The Teathuglicans, as did the Democrats, swallowed the Patriot Act like a 2 bit hooker on Sunset Blvd at 2 am looking for a fix. No one has bothered to amend this monstrosity and for all these idiotic oversights we WILL have Big Brother up our asses looking through nostrils sans a warrant. So glad We the People are watching the idiots in D.C. and making them do our will. So glad the know who they work for.... NOT us.... No oversight for the People any longer. CT'd Tue, 05 Feb 2013 20:49:56 -0500 So, how does a naturally born US citizen become an illegal alien or a foreign terrorist to the US? I don't want to be either type, but those are currently the only two groups that the govt fights for - through word and action- to receive any US constitutional rights. Cam Tue, 05 Feb 2013 20:25:00 -0500 Just a verbal warning-shout out to the Prez but they won't do anything. The media is still in the tank for Obama...the fools. Cam Tue, 05 Feb 2013 20:20:28 -0500 The most disturbing part about this issue is that many liberals condone attacks on American citizens without due process. They must not be familiar with the Constitution. That or they just do not believe in liberty. macksey7 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 20:00:07 -0500 Actually,this generation of youth have proofed that they have excelled in academics, although we cant compete with china's 24/7 schools, we are a very bright youth the kiLLing Joke Tue, 05 Feb 2013 19:45:53 -0500 "...anyone interested in civil liberties, due process, and limiting government should vote for a Republican president? " Please tell me that I'm not getting your sense of humor. *Forehead slap* goldenretriever Tue, 05 Feb 2013 18:11:57 -0500 Look! Up in the sky! It's a bird.... It's a plane.... It's a DRONE keeping an eye on YOU. yup Tue, 05 Feb 2013 17:47:36 -0500 Nothing will alarm Americans - except possibly the cancellation of "Survivor". The stupidest generation in history deserves to lose everything. greg123 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 17:45:34 -0500 "Now that you've been adequately terrified ... CHECK OUT the most deadly airplane in the U.S. Arsenal >" @_@ Timmy C Tue, 05 Feb 2013 17:39:02 -0500 Most voters are fine with this, that's the real problem. They are cowardly by nature (as most people everywhere are) and they see these measures only in the context of killing Muslims half the world away, so it's fine. Timmy C Tue, 05 Feb 2013 17:34:16 -0500 Politicians need to be taught to fear from time to time, and not just the fear of being voted out of office. Obama administration decided not to prosecute the officials of the previous administration, as I'm sure the next administration will do for the current one. The circle of unaccountability has to be broken. This is the time for true patriots to stand up for what's right. Usernamedenied Tue, 05 Feb 2013 17:16:11 -0500 Nice to see NBC finally waking up from their slumber... well after the election... long after anything realistic could be done about this, by the voters. nerdbert Tue, 05 Feb 2013 17:08:05 -0500 You see why I keep telling you that anyone interested in civil liberties, due process, and limiting government should vote for a Republican president? If Bush had tried this crap the Democrats and the press (pardon the redundancy) would have been up in arms protesting. Now? Get ready to have this enshrined as the official policy of the US henceforth since there's no getting the genie back in the bottle. . Jsebs Tue, 05 Feb 2013 17:00:59 -0500 I suppose there'll be world-wide protests calling Obama a murderer and asking for him to be tried for war crimes. I mean, like they did to Bush. And those peace-loving US liberals who had an issue with Guantanamo, they will lead the charge, right? Somchai Tue, 05 Feb 2013 16:51:19 -0500 Obama is The Manchurian Candidate in every sense. Want to extend healthcare to the citizenry? Let's call in the insurance, pharm, healthcare companies to craft a plan. Americans get the opposite of what was proposed and what was needed. Want to talk about rational gun control? Let's fade the constitution every chance we get while spewing self righteous rhetoric. People aren't dumb, they see the evil duplicity, outcome, they go on gun buying sprees. The war on terror? Let's send our boys to die against a stated enemy we're backing elsewhere. Outcome the "enemy" is spreading across two continents. Every stated objective achieves the opposite outcome. You'd think he was an AQ operative all the damage he does. The marks of Absolutism Tue, 05 Feb 2013 16:38:01 -0500 1 - A legal body for the ruling class formed by the families most connected to the military. DONE. 2 - A second legal body to regulate the bourgeoisie and the flow of capital through the banking system. DONE. 3 - A loose set of laws as well as an entertainment establishment designed to keep the populace from revolting. DONE. 4 - Immunity of the armed forces and the removal of liability from police abuse. DONE. 5 - Dilution of democracy. Corporations allowed to throw their weight behind candidates. DONE. 6 - The e establishment of monarchy. IN PROGRESS. Peter Verkooijen Tue, 05 Feb 2013 16:33:14 -0500 Americans have already accepted the principle that all economic power flows from the government. Obama has made the correct calculation they will accept this as well. The lives of American citizens belong to the State. custodes Tue, 05 Feb 2013 16:22:51 -0500 So I'm clear, can Mossad hit squads now act with impunity inside the US border or does this only apply to Mossad-controlled drones flying in US airspace? the kiLLing JoKe Tue, 05 Feb 2013 16:15:20 -0500 This is news only if you still are of the misguided belief that being either a Democrat or a Republican matters. It doesn't. To those who are looking to turn in their weapons to the local police department for a discount coupon to the food mart, do so at your own peril. There is no Left or Right, there is only Tyranny or Freedom. R U Serious? Tue, 05 Feb 2013 16:10:43 -0500 Well that be seven things, but here's crap load more things that REALLY aught giving us nightmares: Ask yourself this question: If the US government is benign, why does it need to have the Patriot Act, secret rendition sites in 54 or more countries around the world; NDAA, SIPA, SOPA, FEMA camps; TSA VIPR teams on our highways and at our bus and train stations (more security theater); 7000 MORE M-4's for DHS (the REAL military kind, you know the full-auto kind that are the REAL "assault weapons" as opposed to the civilian semi-auto kind which the government is trying to ban); DHS purchasing 1.6 BILLION rounds of hollow point ammunition (ammunition that is not allowed on the battlefield per the Rules of Land Warfare so who are they going to use it against); to give heavily armored vehicles to local law enforcement around the country; to have security camera's and drones everywhere all tied together in fusion centers; a massive data center that has it's own power generating facility capable of capturing and storing all of the electronic (phone, internet, radio you name it) communications occuring every second on the entire planet for the next hundred years; to feel up travelers private parts (especially old people and children) in a effort to make everyone "feel safe"; to authorize in Obama Care (HR3590.AS, Section 5210 Establishing a Ready Reserve Corps) the formation of a federal civilian armed force of equal number, equipment and training to the U.S. Military; to hold "predeployment cross training and qualification" drills involving military and civilian paramilitary forces in heavily populated urban areas using military armored vehicles and helicopters firing their weapons indiscriminately (using blank ammunition); DHS's "See Something Say Something" program to turn our nation into a gaggle of government informants reminiscent of East Germany during the Cold War; to discredit right wing religious groups, prolife groups, pro Second Amendment groups and veterans returning from combat deployment as "future threats to America"? Tell me AGAIN why DHS needs 7000 full auto M4's and 1.6 BILLION rounds of ammunition? Instead of worrying about a law abiding citizen's semiautomatic AR15 that he uses to shoot cardboard targets a couple times a summer, why aren’t We The People wet-our-pants terrified of the sociopaths in DHS that are ordering banned for civilians full auto M4's with enough ammo to shoot every man woman and child in this country FIVE TIMES? Ya, let's ban scary looking semi-automatic rifles. What a bunch of nitwits we are. James Andrews Tue, 05 Feb 2013 16:04:17 -0500 We passed laws to prevent the CIA from assassination foreign leaders decades ago..... Now the President can murder any American he declares is a threat. Now you see why Americans wont give up their guns. Tyranny doesn't happen by accident over night. It is the end result of a long plan by radicals.
