I voted for Ron Paul in 2008 and will do so again! What a shame so many Americans are still asleep! This country needs an enema!!

Sorry for the confusion. Sat, 3 Dec 2011 08:37:23 +0000http://americanvisionnews.com/479/law-of-war-amendment-confirms-extreme-indefinite-detention-powers#IDComment232044946 http://americanvisionnews.com/479/law-of-war-amendment-confirms-extreme-indefinite-detention-powers#IDComment232043797Upon checking the Senate record of the vote on this bill (as linked in the article), I discovered that Sen. Lindsay Graham voted the same way as Sen. Inhofe and Sen. Sessions (sorry for my earlier remarks, Sen. Graham), as did nearly all conservative Republicans. Nearly all "liberal" (leftist) Democrats voted for it. Rand Paul was one of the few Republicans to vote against it (as did John McCain, Susan Collins, and Olympia Snowe, all "liberals"). The question was whether a civilian court could override the national security interests of the U.S. Even though a person might be found not guilty of a specific crime, the U.S. government nevertheless has the responsibility to protect the safety and freedom of its citizens, as required by the Constitution. If the government has evidence that someone poses a serious threat to the safety of its citizens, it has the duty to do what is necessary to ensure their safety, regardless of any particular court decision in an individual case. Individual cases decided by civilian courts, and the U.S. government's duty to the people are two separate things. A personal case would be limited to only the specific facts and evidence relating to the particular charges in that case, but would not necessarily deal with additional facts that might pose other dangers. The government's duty to protect its citizens is its first and foremost responsibility.

In the first sentence I meant to say "as unlawful and unconstitutional AS this article claims", Sat, 3 Dec 2011 06:13:13 +0000http://americanvisionnews.com/479/law-of-war-amendment-confirms-extreme-indefinite-detention-powers#IDComment232006097 http://americanvisionnews.com/479/law-of-war-amendment-confirms-extreme-indefinite-detention-powers#IDComment232004347If this law were as unlawful and unconstitutional and this article claims, there would be a gaggle of radical leftist, anti-American lawyers swarming to anyone who was thought to possibly have been harmed by it (there probably will be in any event). It would be before the Federal Courts in no time. Do you think the legislators don't know this? I'm sure this fact has been carefully considered by the authors of the bill, and by the Senators who voted for it. For that reason, among others, I'm very skeptical about the above article. Sat, 3 Dec 2011 06:07:06 +0000http://americanvisionnews.com/479/law-of-war-amendment-confirms-extreme-indefinite-detention-powers#IDComment232004347 http://americanvisionnews.com/479/law-of-war-amendment-confirms-extreme-indefinite-detention-powers#IDComment232001085Senators Sessions and Inhofe are definitely not "RINO's", and Congressman Paul is not a "conservative" (except possibly on some economic issues). The Senators are among the soundest and most principled conservatives in Congress (and if there is such a thing as a "moderate" Republican, Sen. Lindsay Graham is certainly it). I'm confident the Senators have honest and legitimate reasons for supporting this bill, though I admit I'm not familiar with it. Do you think they wish to abuse the American people? That would be preposterous! (By the way, the term RINO means "Republican In Name Only", which is to say NOT a Republican.) I strongly suspect that this article doesn't tell the full story behind this law, and that the facts are being slanted to create a false impression of its true meaning and purpose.

I think they have all lost their cotton-picking minds and have let power go to their heads. This country is in the same position Germany was in when the Hitler and the Nazi's took power. If the American people do not vote these jackasses out of office soon, we will definitely go down the drain fast especially if Obama is re-elected.

The government, especially Liberals, has pushed the people to the point where they are ALMOST ready to push back. That push might take the form of another civil war and that possibility scares Congress to death. So, instead of correcting the conditions that produced the current situation, ignoring the Constitution and US laws, Congress chooses to maintain its power and prepares for war against the citizens of the United States.

By their own volition they have they violate common laws of morality and denegrate themselves to bipedal animals. Even worse most animals are true to their basic nature while these bipedal non humans are parasitic and mad with power.
