Well , he signed the NDAA

I can't help but notice neither Republican or Democrat are stating that they like this new Law. So how did it become the Law of the Land? Sadly,the answer to that question is probably too disturbing for most Americans to contemplate.

The answer is easy, because neither party in washington gives a rat's ass what the american people think. They know that the idiotic masses will vote for them anyway. All they have to do is put on a little political theater reminding their supporters how much they hate the other party, and then they can pass whatever the fuck they want knowing they'll still be voted right back into power.

It's one of those unfortunate backlash things against the courts and bleeding hearts who wanted to give non citizen terrorists full rights and protection under U.S. law rather than have the military handle it as has always been previous case in our national history. Obama, some of his appointees, and some of the Democrats are fully culpable in that.

So now we have it all blurred and mixed together with some unfortunate results such as a rather ambiguous piece of legislation that attempted to deal with it. Good intentions creating potential for unpleasant unintended consequences and all that.

Listening to some of the comments of both Republicans and Democrats who voted for this, they are aware of the threat to U.S. citizens and possible abuses. But, like we had with the Patriot Act, they saw the necessity to provide the common defense as more imperative than the protections. So, they voted for the legislation with the realization that very strong and dedicated Congressional oversight would be necessary to identify, intercept, and reverse any abuses related to it.

It's a combination of boomer generation war lust, and a staggering amount of fear that they might actually lose control of their sheep. I'd be scared too if I was in their position. There is a point when their plastic world is going to melt and it won't be pretty.

Having more than 7 days worth of food in your home and you can be deemed a terrorist. Having more than one gun with a little bit of ammo you can be deemed a terrorist.

Have any of the republican candidates come out in opposition to this besides Paul?
 
What's all this complaining about? I'm very disappointed in some of my fellow Citizens. They're still not getting it.. Look it's real simple,Big Brother has to take your rights in order to protect your rights. You get it? And he has promised to give your rights back to you just as soon as his indefinite 'War on Terror' is over. He knows what's best for you. Big Brother loves you. So just STFU and quit complaining. :)
 
What do you think about this?

I think there are people on this forum that still believe that it's acceptable to crush liberty and shit on the law of the land as long as their guy is doing it, for surely their guy is good and has the magic beans necessary to act righteously. I think that applies to many Liberals and Conservatives alike. I do not think it applies to any true Libertarians.
