I agree that it's better that the executive not have the power to do this without concurrence of the other branches. Though I'd wait for the purges and concentration camps to actually ramp up before I'd go to the 'totalitarian' rhetoric. You waste the words right now, and what are you going to use when a real 'totalitarian regime' comes along?

Kind of like one search warrant NSA got to spy on everyone?


I'm already an enemy of the state didn't you know?

And, that is the clarion view.

A whole lot of shrill, alarmist vitriol has been tossed about the last five-six years, most of it having little or no basis in reality. It has become obvious to me that Americans are thoroughly spoiled by our extremely lenient form of government and thus haven't the slightest clue what real tyranny looks like.

Some American fled it Dave that's pretty narrow minded don't you think?
Needless to say we are heading there in short order.

I'm not sure I agree with that, Bob. They WANT federal agents to do something violent. That would be the validation they seek. Nope, I think the best thing to do is exactly what's being done. NOTHING. Just let the freaks stew in their own shit as the hot Nevada sun works on them. Sit back and watch as they become a pain in the ass to each other and the local citizenry. 100-110-120 degrees, longer, hotter days. Maybe send in moles to spread rumors, fire them up and turn them against each other at the most.

If it's done right, they'll implode on their own. Don't take any of the pigs down unless you have indisputable proof they fired first.

American law only applies on US soil. Therein lies the difference. Designate them enemy combatants and legal system does not apply. Rumsfeld said so and that's good enough for me.

[BlueStreak]

Yes, they did. And, I'm pretty sure they think those fools in Nevada are making a big to do over nothing.

And, no, we're not.

While I agree a lot of this is necessary I seem to remember a certain party running against it not that long ago.
