It does not say that. Congress may deal with "Insurrection" in one manner only. It may call forth the militia. Not the army, not the navy, not the marines or the FBI. The militia.

sorry but the constitution permits this.
I don't agree with this practice...I'm just sayin.

Don't you know a "bigot" when your flamed by one "emberscott"?? These types of people would rather show hate to someone that may not seem American to them instead of trying to get along long enough to actually do something about the situation in America.This is the real problem, not the corrupt politicians. There are not enough people left that care about the American way of life to preserve or protect it any longer, that and these types of people hate when the truth is put right in front of them.

Good for America. The American can stop things like this happening. But they don't. So they deserve these things to happen.
Can't blame anyone but yourselves Americans.
Spoken like a true foreigner. I'm curious, what great utopia of sunshine & unicorns do you reside from?
I was born in the US. Yes I have a state birth certificate, state issue ID, a social security card, a US passport book and a US passport ID card.
Why you would suggest I was foreigner?

I'll leave the blaming and shaming to you, emberscott. It sounds like YOUR thing. Blame away! Tell Americans that they deserve to be killed and that they are a bunch of fat jerks who watch Dancing with the Stars.
I've never seen that show, but I've seen accusations just like yours all over the web. Do you spend all of your spare time bashing Americans online or did you just happen to quote such a cliche' opinion by chance?

You do realize, emberscott, that individual countries no longer make their own sovereign choices as to how to run their countries? The orders come from a central point (The CFR?) and all countries implement changes. It may appear initially that some countries are 'winning', but it's only temporary. It changes and everyone submits and does it the same way. Ask Oz. 89% protested SMART meters. 100% of Oz has them now. It's a law. Do you think America will be allowed to say 'No' much longer? Probably not. Wake up, Child.

. There are alot of Americans waking up to this now and I can only hope that we will retake our freedoms. Though I do believe the road back will be a rough and violent one. Already anyone who decries goverment is now being call a threat. "Domestic Terrorist", This is a word you will hear a great deal in the future.
May we find a peaceful solution to this problem. I can only hope. There are a few states starting to assert themselves to protect the citizens from the federal guberment. We can only hope they are not to late.
And there in lies the one non violent solution we have through the power to vote: your county sheriff. There are PLENTY of good county sheriffs out there who know the law and know they have power over the Federal Government.
If you vote for only ONE elected official and you want your vote to count and to have power, vote for a good county sheriff. Someone like Joe Arpaio.

Did Holder and/or Obama personally take the life of al-Awlaki?

Please research before making such pronouncements.
NO! The militia is supposed to be every able bodied American male. WE are the militia.

Could you please expand on what you think the militia is? The dictionary usually defines it as a military force, especially one raised from civilian population. Now, seeing as the army, navy etc are drawn from the civilian population, that kind of means they are the militia - wouldn't you agree?
The highest number to which a standing army can be carried in any country does not exceed one hundredth part of the souls, or one twenty-fifth part of the number able to bear arms. This portion would not yield, in the United States, an army of more than twenty-five or thirty thousand men. To these would be opposed a militia amounting to near half a million citizens with arms in their hands, officered by men chosen from among themselves, fighting for their common liberties and united and conducted by governments possessing their affections and confidence. It may well be doubted whether a militia thus circumstanced could ever be conquered by such a proportion of regular troops. Besides the advantage of being armed, it forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. The governments of Europe are afraid to trust the people with arms. If they did, the people would surely shake off the yoke of tyranny, as America did. Let us not insult the free and gallant citizens of America with the suspicion that they would be less able to defend the rights of which they would be in actual possession than the debased subjects of arbitrary power would be to rescue theirs from the hands of their oppressors."- (Source I Annals of Congress 434, June 8, 1789)

Here is a quote from James Madison illustrating my point.

Really????? I mean are you really serious or is this just a sad attempt at trolling?
So by your logic, or lack of, if I hired a hitman to neutralize someone then I wouldn't be guilty of murder?
You do realize that the motto on this site is "Deny Ignorance" don't you? Unfortunately I think you are on the wrong site.

Might as well get mad at any other President because the CIA has been killing people... foreign and domestic alike without trial far longer than President Obama has been in office. CIA is authorized by the President.
