Rep. Paul Broun, who once compared Barack Obama to Adolf Hitler, now thinks the president is part of a radical “socialistic elite” that may try to declare martial law.
He also spoke of a “socialistic elite” - Obama, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid - who might use a pandemic disease or natural disaster as an excuse to declare martial law.

Someone who probably stood by and watched Bush to lay the groundwork for martial law is now worried that the next president will use that power?
How ironic is that?
It's like hearing FOX news say that democrats are evil for calling dissenters "un-American" (even though it's taken out of context, lol). -- After 8 years of "you're either with us or against us" mentality that demonized anyone against Bush...
This world fails at making any sense any more.

Interesting find.
In all honesty, I don't know where this will all lead to, but I know it isn't good. Martial Law? It fits with their elitist mentality.
These are the same people that said there is no death panel in the healthcare bill, but yesterday stated that the death panel option will be removed in the final bill.
I wouldn't put it past them to try, thinking that we were just sheep to take it.
Surprise!

You're right. I apologize if I gave the impression that they could be trusted.
Hell, they've probably changed it from 'end of life options' to 'let's take grand ma' to the happy lands' option.

The Obama administration is quietly dusting off an effort to impose new federal quarantine regulations, which were vigorously resisted by civil liberties organizations and the airline industry when the rules were first proposed by the Bush administration nearly four years ago.
...
“It doesn’t surprise me that when swine flu or any other epidemic is featured prominently in the news, we see a return to quarantine and other public health regulations,” said Christopher Calabrese of the American Civil Liberties Union, which sharply criticized the Bush-era proposal as too heavy-handed. “The enemy here isn’t the American people or sick people. It’s an illness. ... Police officers with guns cannot make people obey a quarantine. In order for this to work, it has to be collaborative. They have to trust the government.”

Then stopped. Ridiculous Republican non-sense which we're being bombarded with these days.
