National Defense Authorization Act 2007: FEDERALIZING NATIONAL GUARD >

[The Cleaner]

We all know this is what Bush wanted...a new gustapo state with Posse Comitatus abolished! I personally believe this is why Bush (purposely) failed in the Katrina response - to create a condition whereby he could later blame the states and then say, "I could have gotten in there right away if the national guard was fully federalized."

This is WRONG people! It is unamerican! What can we do about it?

SALEM, Oregon --Mary Starrett, who's running for Governor of Oregon on the Constitution Party ticket, is warning governors all across the country that the proposed congressional bill to federalize state National Guard units is a bad idea.

According to Starrett, passage of the National Defense Authorization Act of 2007 would infringe on state control of the National Guard, in essence creating a de facto domestic military controlled by whomever sits in the Oval Office.

The proposed National Guard law would allow the president to take control of the National Guard in any state during emergencies without gubernatorial consent. The idea, spurred by the chaos after Hurricane Katrina's landfall in Louisiana and Mississippi, is part of a House-passed version of the National Defense Authorization Act. The Senate has not passed it.

1. K&R...

This is hugely important and has been well below the radar. This is our freedom we are talking about...

4. My question is, does anybody care?

I hear nobody talking about this. A federalized police force - the new SS - forming right before our eyes and folks are SILENT about it?

6. I think people are on the verge of giving up.

I try to talk to people about all of these dictatorship issues and they are just overwhelmed or resigned to it. They are not going to take up arms, so they feel they have no other recourse than accepting the inevitable. They don't believe that their vote counts for anything, they don't believe that they have any economic clout, either individually or as a group and they are growing used to living life "just covering up". They have been shouted down, beaten down by fear, threats, and ridicule to the point where they are becoming "the gray mass" as in "1984" - and most of them are not even truly aware of it...

2. The party that used to screech about "state's rights"

when it involved protecting rights is silent when it comes to toking rights away.

3. They long ago aborogated that in their quest for the Unitary exec

Dictator by any other name

5. Enormous chutzpah, especially after the Katrina debacle

Has there ever been an investigation of what went wrong in NOLA? Any recommendations? Any action taken to resolve the promblems?

No?

Then why hand over all control to the most incompetent party in the Katrina disaster?

7. What the fuck is this website?

These people make WorldNetDaily look sane.

and...



It’s no secret that liberals hold in contempt what they regard as the provincial nature of conservatives. And I certainly would love to buy liberals for what I think they’re worth and sell them for what they think they’re worth, to paraphrase the old retort.



And on and on...
