Another Nail in the Coffin

Another nail in the coffin of America was driven home on New Year's Eve by President Obama. He signed into law the NDAA which gives the president authorization to use the military to detain US citizens on American soil. What is frightening is that so many "conservative" republicans voted for the bill in the house and the senate. Find out how your representatives voted and voice your opinion accordingly. The obvious evil parts of the NDAA include:

• Section 1021 of the NDAA allows the U.S. military to indefinitely detain, without due process, any person engaged in "hostilities against the United States or its coalition partners ... without trial until the end of hostilities."
• Section 1022 expressly states that the military will imprison anyone who is a member of al-Qaeda or "an associated force" that acts like al-Qaeda; and anyone who planned or carried out an attack, or attempted attack, against the U.S.
• Section 1022 continues that detaining American citizens is not required. "UNITED STATES CITIZENS — The requirement to detain a person in military custody under this section does not extend to citizens of the United States."
This, in conjunction with DHS report, (U//FOUO) Rightwing Extremism: Current Eomomic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment 7 April 2009 (U) Prepared bythe Extremism and Radicalization Branch, Homeland Environment Threat Analysis Division Coordinated with the FBI, gives one reason to think that the US government has stepped back in time to Soviet Russia of 1930. "Our" government is more concerned with controlling the taxpaying population than in protecting it or ensuring the opportunity to exercise our right to pursue happiness. The future is looking to the past and Hollywood has presented depictions for us to see where we are headed in Dr. Zhivago and Evita. Obama and the political class continue to spread the misery.
