From Left Field: Congress Proposes Bill to Allow Worldwide War … Including INSIDE the U.S

[CrufflerSteve]

I doubt if there are many left wingers on this board but a bunch of them are just as upset about Obama as the right wing. I think they are correct in a lot of ways, even though they wouldn't say it the way gun owners do. Obama is a pure Statist giving all power to the state and taking it all for the executive branch. When he's done we'll have no idea what our government is up. We won't even be allowed to ask, much less know.

Great quote:
"But as the ACLU noted yesterday, Congress is going even further … proposing handing permanent, world-wide war-making powers to the president – including the ability to make war within the United States:"

I know the world has to be ending Saturday when I'm in agreement with the ACLU. I generally go to this site for economic stuff and ignore the politics but this is bad stuff.

I'd like the states to have more power than they have now, but only because I like to delude myself and assume that they won't abuse their power by creating mind-numbingly stupid laws.

This should be sufficient proof that this entire Administration IS NOT working in the best interest of this country.


Hang em all by their thumbs.
