What I want to know is....who's going to arrest all the Patriotic Military members who won't go along with this insanity.
Easier said than done, is what I say.

The point is that the ACLU while NOT a partisan organization is still used as a whipping boy by the right to stir up emotional reactions in their voters.
The left is just as guilty on a number of other counts but that's not what I was talking about.

Just another hyperbolic fear-mongering statement from another FOX idiot.
No more than that.
Riiiiiiight. Napolitano is the only sane one at Fox News.
And he's right. If S1867 passes (and it will) the military will be able to come in and arrest anyone without any proof without any trial and keep them in jail forever.
That's called MARTIAL LAW.
Dear Friend:
Thank you for contacting me regarding the new provisions for detainees proposed in Sections 1031 and 1032 of S. 1253, the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2012. I welcome your thoughts and comments.
Section 1031 of the NDAA establishes guidelines to allow U.S. Armed Forces to detain “covered persons” captured during hostilities as unprivileged enemy combatants, pending disposition under the laws of war. The provision defines a “covered person” as a person who planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. This provision also applies to individuals who support al Qaeda, the Taliban, or associated forces that are engaged in hostilities against the United States or its coalition partners.
Section 1032 requires U.S. Armed Forces to hold in custody as an unprivileged enemy combatant any person who is a member or part of al Qaeda or an affiliated entity, and who participated in planning or carrying out an attack or attempted attack against the United States or its coalition partners. The requirement does not extend to citizens of the United States. Also, the Secretary of Defense is authorized to waive required detention.
S. 1253 has passed the Senate Armed Services Committee, and is currently awaiting consideration by the full Senate. Should this legislation be brought to the Senate floor, you may be certain that I will keep your views in mind.
I appreciate hearing from you, and I hope that you will not hesitate to contact me on any issue that is important to you.
Sincerely,
Kay Bailey Hutchison
United States Senator

...There's not a nickle's worth of difference between the two, even adjusted for inflation.
Now the "Republicans" are running a field of neocons. Note well that at least two of their front runners are "reformed" democrats.
"Reformed" my ass. Just more of the same. Not a nickle's worth of difference.
The only choices presented by the majority parties this election cycle are what used to be called "left", but are now just more of the same. Doesn't matter which label you vote for, if you vote for either of the Big Two, you're going to be voting democrat.
Still, the labels are useful to the puppet masters to keep people divided and thinking there is some sort of difference, to keep them at one another's throats, preoccupied ("Pre -Occupied"?) and unaware of the fact that whoever they vote for, they're going to get the same damn thing.
While the chorus sings, the band will play on.

You got it! We get to choose between Republicrat A & Republicrat B. The election is all political theater, to make the majority believe we honor free elections. Both candidates are owned & operated by the same "king-makers" behind the curtain.
