They'll never fly drones over american soil, or spy on Americans.
NDAA will never pass, not with Obama.
Free speech will never be restricted to specific "zones".
The government will never force americans to buy health insurance, or face a fine via the IRS.

Famous last words. . . . . .

WASHINGTON — A federal judge on Wednesday blocked the government from enforcing a controversial statute about the indefinite detention without trial of terrorism suspects. Congress enacted the measure last year as part of the National Defense Authorization Act.

...The new statute went beyond covering the perpetrators of the Sept. 11 attacks to also cover people who were part of or substantially supported Al Qaeda, the Taliban or associated forces engaged in hostilities against the United States or its allies. Its enactment was controversial in part because lawmakers did not specify what conduct could lead to someone’s being detained, and because it was silent about whether the statute extended to American citizens and others arrested on United States soil.

Who nominated the judge?

Who hasn't signed off on the NDAA? Who signed it with a Signing Statement?

Also:

At least it's on the record: Most House Republicans support the indefinite detention without trial of American citizens.

Spying on American citizens is nothing new - or didn't you know? :-)

It certainly didn't begin with the Obama administration - and how long have the drones been in development? Well, in fact - they were around in one form or another well before the example I'm about to provide

U.S. domestic use

The U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency has experimented with several models of UAVs, and has begun purchasing a fleet of unarmed MQ-9 Reapers to survey the U.S. border with Mexico. "In more than six months of service, the Predator's surveillance aided in the arrest of nearly 2,000 illegal immigrants and the seizure of four tons of marijuana, border officials say." [20]

On March 20, 2007, an unmanned Border Protection agency UAV detected and led agents to six suspected aliens, including Mexican national Leopoldo Aparicio-Lopez, who had been wanted in Washington state on charges of third-degree rape of a child. Aparicio-Lopez was one of six suspected illegals in the group, and 395 pounds of marijuana were also seized during the arrest, federal officials said.[21]

On May 18, 2006, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued a certificate of authorization which will allow the M/RQ-1 and M/RQ-9 aircraft to be used within U.S. civilian airspace to search for survivors of disasters. Requests had been made in 2005 for the aircraft to be used in search and rescue operations following Hurricane Katrina, but because there was no FAA authorization in place at the time, the assets were not used. The Predator's infrared camera with digitally enhanced zoom has the capability of identifying the heat signature of a human body from an altitude of 10,000 feet, making the aircraft an ideal search and rescue tool.[22]

According to a 2006 Wall Street Journal report, "After distinguished service in war zones in recent years, unmanned planes are hitting turbulence as they battle to join airliners and weekend pilots in America's civilian skies. Drones face regulatory, safety and technological hurdles – even though demand for them is burgeoning. Government agencies want them for disaster relief, border surveillance and wildfire fighting, while private companies hope to one day use drones for a wide variety of tasks, such as inspecting pipelines and spraying pesticides on farms."

I'll bet those individuals that wanted their borders secured were in love with them - back in the day. Whose day was that? :-)

I'll bet they only ever used them to watch Mexicans and Muslims though - 'cause we were all honest and civil liberties conscious like that way back when

Bush Authorized Domestic Spying

President Bush signed a secret order in 2002 authorizing the National Security Agency to eavesdrop on U.S. citizens and foreign nationals in the United States, despite previous legal prohibitions against such domestic spying, sources with knowledge of the program said last night.

Free Speech Zones?

The most prominent examples were those created by the United States Secret Service for President George W. Bush and other members of his administration.[3] Free speech zones existed in limited forms prior to the Presidency of George W. Bush; it was during Bush's presidency that their scope has been greatly expanded.[4]

Beezzer - are you sure you're mad at the right guy - or the right era even?

I give credit where credit is due. All things I posted have continued under the stewardship of the Obama administration.

Did someone else create this?

Yes.

But we don't blame Smith & Wesson for a shooting that took place today. We blame the one holding the weapon.

Or, we just blame the guy we can't stand for everything that happens while he's in - I suppose you blame Obama for the weather too?

It was a seriously crappy summer - I'll give you that :-)

nice try Beez - but still - doesn't add up to being correct

And anyhow, there's only so much wrong you can undo in 4 years

Next time one of your guys makes it past the gate - you let me know how he does

:-)

I love the Beeze, but seriously hope none of his guys ever make it past the gate!!!

Artists have been using urine in art since the 1600s. European, and specifically Dutch artists have been using urine for making yellows and for other purposes in much of their work. Dutch artists loved painting Jesus, so think about how many paintings of Jesus were made with piss.


Now let's calm down and remember that we are awesome because of our first amendment.. Let's not be as stupid as the Muslim world is about such things.

Point one, I'll be just as critical of Romney as I am with Obama.

Point two, I will laugh maniacally though, when Romney wins.

They may be similar, but the differences that they DO have are very important.

Obama would be on his last 4 years with nothing to lose, Romney would be on his first 4 years with everything to gain.

Wagers, gentlemen?

Just like McCain, his VP pick is what's gonna sink him.
....of course Biden isn't much better ...but still beats Ryan

It's the Dan Quayle of the 21st century!

Give me a break, this whole article stinks of "My God is better than your God!" nonsense.

Fact is, taxpayer money is not involved in this display so the Government has no say in the matter! I do not see the Government making a statement about porn movies where people are urinated on, so why should they make a statement about this?

This is just more nonsense of Christians about how they are "persecuted" and everyone is out to get them. Well guess what? No one is out to get you Christians and you have not been persecuted for your beliefs in a very long long time. If you are so against this display, protest it. Feel free. That is your right to do so, but would like to guess what you have no right to do? Stop others from viewing it if they choose to do so. It is called CHOICE, perhaps you have heard it?

What can you expect when you have a muslim potus and a muslim loving sec. of state?

Now, lets move on to the real issues at hand, like the economy, the jobless rate, the price of gasoline, and the rising price of food.

God will deal with the blasphemers.

Funny how no one seems to notice there is only ONE religion that you can't insult in even the least bit. You will GO TO JAIL in many countries for even breathing one word against them. You NEVER hear the words freedom of speech being even mentioned, no, it's a HATE CRIME. Most websites will BAN you immediately. Yet I would bet money that the creators of the video and of Piss Christ are, strangely enough, from this very same religion.

NO ONE EVEN SEES THIS?

God will deal with the liars of the world.

A potus that bows to muslim leaders, gives public speeches praising muslim leaders and muslim nations, while apologizing for America...and he isn't muslim???? Get real. Once a muslim always a muslim!

As for the sec. of state...shall we harken back to the Clinton era and the obvious bias for muslim countries and against Israel? Do not believe that was all Bill and Hillary had no voice in his policies.

I am not claiming Obama is a Muslim, but your dismissing one of the basic teachings of the Bible. That people can be converted to Christianity. Was the Bible lying to us?
