Not I.  I wouldn't put anything past this regime.  The document states an E.O. can be issued to "suspend" Posse Comitatus and we know how much Duh Wun luvs him some E.O.s.

I think it most definitely COULD happen here, AND that there are those in power right now whose interests and agendas would be served by it.

That said, I view what I find on infowars.com with a cautious eye. I find the information there to be of value, and I'm always open to alternative sources, but too many times I've dug into there, or WND, and found that the sensationalism of the headlines and accusations isn't supported by the details.

BTW, nice to "see" you OLJ. I was just looking at the memberlist a couple days ago and wondering where you've been. Don't be so scarce.

I have followed this subject for several years now. Not all these EO"s were signed by Obama but he has closed the loop and is now in a position to finish his coup.
Read this article and then search around to see what you can find out.

The manual states, “These operations may be performed as domestic civil support operations,” and adds that “The authority to approve resettlement such operations within U.S. territories,” would require a “special exception” to The Posse Comitatus Act, which can be obtained via “the President invoking his executive authority.” The document also makes reference to identifying detainees using their “social security number.”

Aside from enemy combatants and other classifications of detainees, the manual includes the designation of “civilian internees,” in other words citizens who are detained for, “security reasons, for protection, or because he or she committed an offense against the detaining power.”

Once the detainees have been processed into the internment camp, the manual explains how they will be “indoctrinated,” with a particular focus on targeting political dissidents, into expressing support for U.S. policies.

The re-education process is the responsibility of the “Psychological Operations Officer,” whose job it is to design “PSYOP products that are designed to pacify and acclimate detainees or DCs to accept U.S. I/R facility authority and regulations,” according to the document.

Resist we much!  

Any President initiating this and any officer trying to carry out these illegal orders are in fact commiting treason and as such wouldbe subject to immediate termination on sight.

Molôn Labé!

Walks like a Liberal, Talks like a liberal, its probably a liberal.
Kerry would have been worse, which is the problem.  The GOP only has to be marginally less liberal than the Democrats, so they say the right things, and pretend to have principles, and then cave to every Democratic demand because those demands always serve to enhance their power and booty as well.

We should primary random people from the phone book.

I'd vote for a random drunk off the streets before either Obama or Romney if I had a chance - sadly, I won't have that chance. So Romney is where my vote HAS to go. Unfortunately.

But to the point: Indeed. We would be much better off if we randomly chose a president from the general population...at least in regard to the last several presidents.

Hmm...well that would probably put you in the minority. Anarchy is an OWS theme, not a conservative one.

Romney isn't the second coming of Reagan. Anyone with a brain can see that. But anyone with a brain can also see that Reagan isn't running this time, Romney is. And he is running against a marxist. That's a pretty easy choice for most people with a brain.

At least with anarchy - someone tries to harm mine or take whats mine - I can drop them on the spot!

Romney is just going to schmooze the liberal agenda - most like worst than the little Bush did which was horrendous!

ROMNEY (like the little Bush) is UNACCEPTABLE! To tolerate this kind of nonsense is not even as conservative as JFK was ...

Romney had his own RomneyCare and JFK said "Ask not what your country can do for you ..."

...Romney isn't the second coming of Reagan....

I'm not 100% convinced of this. I don't have faith, but I have hope. His campaign rhetoric is the most conservative of any Republican since Reagan. And even Reagan wasn't Reagan until Reagan was Reagan, if you know what I mean. I am open to the possibility that Romney will show himself to have been a political pragmatist in Massachusetts, doing and saying what he needed to in order to govern as a Republican in such a liberal hellhole - and that the "real" Mitt Romney is someone who understands the nation's need for conservative governance at this crucial time.

Like I said, no faith - just hope.

Yes. Anarchy leads to tyranny. Always. As nature abhors a vacuum, nations abhor the same. Romney is not a Marxist. Obama is. Regardless of what you choose to do at the polls, that much should be clear.

You know, I've never understood the fascination with that comment from a rhetorical perspective. It seems like utter pablum to me - always has. My country does things for me and to me that are both good and bad, and I'll damned well ask about them at my leisure, and see no reason why I shouldn't.

It is not incumbent upon me to do anything for my country aside from being a law-abiding citizen doing no harm to others, being vigilant of liberty, and if needed, defending the homeland. It seems like self-evident truth to me, and I don't need to ask about it.

Romney may not be a Marxist, but he certainly has no problem enabling them. As I said before, this is an election for President Scapegoat, because like it or not Anarchy IS COMING. It cannot not come. When the Dollar goes you will have individual townships, counties, or whole States in revolt. The Dollar is the power, and when the dollar goes, so does the power.

 The Fed will be trying to maintain order, but its hard to get good goons when you have no money - so Police enforcement suffers, entitled OWS groups go on rampages, and no one appears to be in charge - which only encourages more lawlessness.   And yes, that will leave a power vacuum and a lot to chance. What is "better", Obama, Romney or Anarchy is a moot question. You will get one, and then regardless  of who it is, you will get the other. Nor to I expect the reaction to the disaster  to be much different. Both will declare a State of emergency and use all of these fancy new powers to quell insurrection if they can. Pretend Romney is a "Good Guy" and doesn't abuse these powers, and uses them to keep the peace effectively - then later the system is there for the next "bad guy" to use.  The end result - a police state and a loss of freedom is the result, regardless of its wielded benignly or with an iron fist.

I'm pretty much riding in that same boat Priest.

My fear is that Romney will get all limp-wristed on us once in office and essentially accomplish nothing (or even make it worse!) in his 1st term. And the way voters are, that means that they will all rush to the other side of the sinking ship (if you understand what I mean) and vote for leftists in 2016. By then, Hitlery will be 're-thinking' her recent vows to never run for president and we'll end up with Hitlery as president in 2016. Of course, she'll be just as bad as Obama except she'll be smart about it and actually accomplish much more than he did.

I have no faith in Romney either and my hope in him is perilously close to almost non-existent, but hope is about all I (or any of us) have with this current hand of cards.

Don't get me wrong.  ::thinking:: I am not an anarchist - but liberalism is not tolerable to me

To choose between two evil ...

I want to STOP people from taking out of my possession what I do not want to give to others.

I can't speak for you - but I have freely done things which will probably be on going when I am dead

I have started things which most people who are involved have no idea that I am the one who did that ...

It's a good thing to do for your neighbors and community without recognition.

... but liberal approach to force everyone is simply wrong and makes people hold on tighter to what they have.

That does no good for anyone of us.

In this day and age people have forgotten what has happened throughout history and fail to connect past events to what the liberals are actually doing today.

So many people have gotten so numb to extreme liberalism that they now GLADLY  accept the lesser evils.

I don't see how not voting will make a statement as you will be lost in the 40%  who do that on a regular basis.  I mean, I don't see how it hurts, either, and considered doing it myself ( at least for President)  but in the end, its probably too big of a risk leaving Obama in office when this thing blows up.

Okay, well, whatever, Mr. Purpose.

You have the right to vote or not vote and I will certainly not condemn you for exercising that right.

But I will take exception to your flaming about how wise your choice is and how foolish everyone else's is.

I will vote for the candidate who has the best chance of beating O'Bama. Currently and for the foreseeable future that candidate is Romney.

I am not enamored of Romney and have no illusions about his conservative credentials. But he doesn't hate America. O'Bama does. I will not condone a second O'Bama term by refusing to vote or for voting for a candidate who has zero chance of beating him. But that's just me. And math.

And I do not agree that this is a choice between douche or turd. Because it's more complicated than that.  But that's just me.

It's simple:
I am 100% against abortion as an easy out for being a clueless tramp
I am 100% against government backed insurance (both RomneyCare and ObamaCare)
I am 100% against accepting gay as a tolerable lifestyle

Why would I support what I DO NOT support?

Why cave on my values?

Yes, nobody here is oblivious to the problems we face and why we face them, we may disagree as to level of hope we have in peaceful/non-painful resolution to all what ails us, but in the end we will all be on the same team pulling the same direction.  Don't doubt it.

NONE OF THE ABOVE ... they are BOTH Bovine manure - why would I want to approve that crap?

So you won't be voting for anyone? Do I have that right? You are sitting this one out, are you?


CORRECT! I am a MAN with purpose - I refuse to sit on the shaft --- if you want it rammed to you - go ahead and giggle ...



Okay, well, whatever, Mr. Purpose.

You have the right to vote or not vote and I will certainly not condemn you for exercising that right.

But I will take exception to your flaming about how wise your choice is and how foolish everyone else's is.

I will vote for the candidate who has the best chance of beating O'Bama. Currently and for the foreseeable future that candidate is Romney.

I am not enamored of Romney and have no illusions about his conservative credentials. But he doesn't hate America. O'Bama does. I will not condone a second O'Bama term by refusing to vote or for voting for a candidate who has zero chance of beating him. But that's just me. And math.

And I do not agree that this is a choice between douche or turd. Because it's more complicated than that.  But that's just me.

It's not about how wise ar choice is
but it is how foolish it is to support what you allege is not right.

To vote for Romney is treason against my own values

When that Romney vote backfires - I won't have the mess on me like when I voted for the little Bush under similar pretenses.

The little Bush vote was a massive blemish on my self respect for knowing right from wrong.

It's simple:
I am 100% against abortion as an easy out for being a clueless tramp
I am 100% against government backed insurance (both RomneyCare and ObamaCare)
I am 100% against accepting gay as a tolerable lifestyle

Why would I support what I DO NOT support?

Why cave on my values?


Well, this is why it IS more complicated that Douche and Turd. Not voting is a vote to NOT uphold your values in the peaceful  public arena. You are shouting loudly that your opinion doesn't count.  You are welcome to do that, and I am not judging that action. I just don't  understand the reasoning behind it.

Politicians  and Representative government inherently  mean that you get a mixed bag.  Even if we had a "True Conservative" to vote for, we may still disagree with him on any number of issues - but accept those in order to obtain his stance on items we feel are more important.

If a GOP Candidate supported 2 of your 3 issues? And the Democrat supported none?  Do you still not vote? Are you not then saying that you are willing to have no progress, or a backward slide rather than "Cave" on your one issue for this one election?

I agree that the big distinction is  that Obama actively hates America, Capitalism,  White People, our Constitution and our freedoms, and as much of a douche as Mittens  is, I don't think he hates us.  I firmly believe that a economic catastrophe is imminent during the next Presidents term - and having someone who hates us at the helm probably won't be wise.  The damage is going to be so sever, that I am not sure Obama really could make it a lot worse, but I guess I would rather not having him trying.

Yeah we had a long rambling debate since the start of the primary...there are a few of us who were all for avoiding Romney like the plague, and I was one of them.  But I cannot screw people I know, people in my family, people and their families here by not voting...that simply makes it easier for the real devil I know (Obama) getting a free ride to election and I am not giving that jackass a free anything!  I don't like it, it sucks royally, but not voting for Romney is wreckless negligence for anybody wanting to end reign of terror he hath wrought upon America.  In this case the lesser of two evils really is a lot lesser!  It is my intent to support as many conservatives and Tea Party candidates running against RINO's as I can so that the most conservative Congress we can get can hold a President Romney's feet tot he fire, and I pray we can eliminate ObamaCare if the courts fail to and get rid of the Czars and get rid of as much of this liberty-destroying economy-destroying crap as we can.  Anything else is giving up and bottom line I am one stubborn SOB and as long as I am breathing I am not givng in anything to any   ::cussing::  Leftists!

I am undecided to what I will do with my vote.

I think strongly of voting for the Constitution Party candidate.
Then, sometimes I weaken and throw up in my mouth think about eating the turd with powdered sugar.

Right now, it's a far from certain conclusion that Romney can win.
I know we've been told over and over that he is the most electable.
But, who was doing the telling?

"Sock puppet," on the other hand, has a fairly consistent definition when used on a forum and I don't think this word means what you think it means.

Now...we love new members and you are welcome to play in our sandbox but only if you can do it with something less than the bull-in-china shop level of grace and dignity that you have, so far, displayed.

My advice, if you are interested, would be to dial it back to somewhere south of eleven, think about what you want to say and how it can be said in a clear and concise manner. And I appreciate passion but it needs to be throttled by reason and grace. So far you haven't been big on those last two items.

Well, time for me to chime in.

This election will be for two people that none of us are entirely behind. I guess really one we want to see eradicated from history and one we are not entirely behind.  In the last presidential election I could not in good faith to myself vote for McCain.  So I voted for a candidate I felt was closer to my beliefs.  This was in essence a vote for the marxist-in-chief, or if you will a wasted vote.  I work at a corporation that McCain has had a hard on to punish (for whatever reason) and my very employment (I felt) was at stake if he was elected.  I did not vote Democrat nor will I ever, but not voting Republican was pretty much the same as voting for obama.  I will not make that mistake again.  Any one but obama is a rallying call some make but even that could still leave him in charge to finish this once great country off.  We need to be united to eliminate the America haters chances of completing the job.  Someone else mentioned (sorry for forgetting who) that the real difference we can make is getting the right people (be they Tea-Party, Republican, Libertarian, etc) into Local and State offices, as well as getting conservatives (from whichever party) into Congress and the Senate.  The President is a single man that has some power, all of the other levels of government have the rest.  Lets get the right people elected there.

CONSERVATIVE DOES NOT:
  • support Abortion
  • support Socialized Medical
  • support homosexuality
  • support a candidate that does

Your vote for Romney votes in favor of the above list - IT IS ILLOGICAL to honestly be a Conservative and vote for that RINO

What is hard to understand?   You vote for him as a so called CONSERVATIVE - you are a liar to yourself and others.

No one here likes Romney. But with a few exceptions, everyone here will go to the polls understanding the unfortunate reality that we are under a 2 party political system.

Now, you may believe that in order to adhere to principles set by yourself, that you cannot in good conscience vote for Romney. That is your business, and there are some here who share your view. I am right to the tippy-edge of that view.

But if that is your view, it must also by necessity be your view that a 2nd term for Barack Hussein Obama will a) bring about something far worse than what we have currently, and that's OK with you because living with the erosion of liberty must come to an end, even if it means temporary hell-on-earth that we may or may not emerge from with any liberty at all, or b) Romney and Obama are indistinguishable, therefore you'd prefer Obama take the blame for the nation's downfall, or c) You think Obama will be better for America.

Under the two-party system, there is no other option available for your refusal to vote for Romney. Barring some game-changing event, one of those two men will be President in January 2013. So, you either think Romney will be marginally better than Obama but you'd rather have it all crash so we can start over; you think he's the same pond scum as Obama, so why change; or you simply prefer Obama.

I will vote for Romney in the outlandish hope that his prior words and actions as Governor are not indicative of how he will govern as President, but rather, that his conservative campaign rhetoric will force him to move to the Right.

You can do what you want, and you can say what you want, but if you mindlessly go around here accusing people you don't know of being non-conservatives because they have come to a different conclusion than you, your time here won't be long. I'd prefer you'd settle down as Trap suggests and get to know the people you're dealing with. But it's your call.

ETA: I have no attachment to keeping this one around.

Well he was good at Loud. If he seemed interested in engaging with others and discussing, I would say keep him. However I don't see much evidence of that. As it was, he didn't seem very  interested in explaining how not voting would in any way advance his cause. Its sheer hubris to think we were actually targeted with a mole, but maybe we were. Obama and his cretinous minions  will be pulling out all of the stops, and if they can convince us to not show up on election day to "punish" Mittens for being the stupid RINO douchebag he is,  then they will win.

 Evidence suggesting a Mole:

1) Identifies as a Moderate ( but not the "liberal kind")
2) resorts almost immediately to name calling and derision
3) Reluctance to   address the points and concerns of others
4) Reluctance to  address questions about his own beliefs.
5) Actually defined a "Real conservative" with  expectation of lockstep adherence
6) Argued for the one course of action that would be the most destructive for our cause. (Well, except for voting for Obama because you want to get to the collapse quicker.... wait, maybe I am the mole!)

This is the sort of thing I see on Democratic Underground when they have an internal disagreement.
The Paulbot hypothesis is valid, but normally the Paulbot can't resist announcing his support for Ron Paul- its usually a matter of personal pride - proof they are better and smarter.

Put one in the "yes" column.

I'm seeing this played out on several sites right now. One big one - Freerepublic - has gone almost entirely upside down over the promotion of Romney to "presumptive Republican Candidate" status. The angst and anger there has caused a huge number of defections...people moving to other sites (I don't know if he is one of them or not).

I think that LoudAmerican has value to contribute - if he can restrain himself from bashing the rest of us and focus his anger where it belongs - the left.

Okay, time for some disclosure on my part.

One of the things I do on an on-again-off-again basis is shop for new members.

I post in a lot of different places and leave our site address. I make it quite clear who and what we are all about so that I don't purposefully attract libs, lib trolls and their ilk. But that doesn't prevent them from showing up anyway. You take the good with the bad. Some of you have found your way here because of the breadcrumbs that I (and IDP) have left in other places.

I have a firm belief that our site must have new blood coming in all the time in order for it to remain healthy. (So while I'm at it I will encourage everyone to invite people you know to become members) I believe that if our forum isn't growing then it is dying.

Well, for the last twenty four to forty eight hours I have been recruiting from other places. I try the obvious places like the Facebook pages of conservative radio talk show hosts. I try some other places that are not exactly safe or sure bets like the "politics" forum at Amazon. Saturday night I was fortunate enough to get our forum listed on AoS on the Overnight Thread. I would not, of course, dream of recruiting from obvious danger areas like, say, the PuffHo or the NYTs or Salon...no point in literally inviting trouble here. I know that IDP posts in a diary on Red State from time to time for more or less the same reason.

So, I have no idea where that clod came from but it was probably my doing. And because of that I pretty much took responsibility for it, vetted him myself and dropped the ban hammer. I could have dropped it much sooner but I felt that I was entitled to have some fun for my trouble and there was more than a little entertainment value in feeding him rope. (Maybe we should link to this particular exchange in the FAQs as what NOT to do here as a new member)

So...there you have it. It's probably my fault and I apologize to everyone for wasting their time on him. That said, my experience with this sort of thing is that I almost never end up with such a stinker. So I will keep trying to attract new members. I really don't want our forum to go the way of CT and wither to the point that it just flat out dies. So this is somewhat of a personal crusade of mine. But I could use (hint, hint) some help.

As it was, he didn't seem very  interested in explaining how not voting would in any way advance his cause. Its sheer hubris to think we were actually targeted with a mole, but maybe we were. Obama and his cretinous minions  will be pulling out all of the stops, and if they can convince us to not show up on election day to "punish" Mittens for being the stupid RINO douchebag he is,  then they will win.

 Evidence suggesting a Mole:

1) Identifies as a Moderate ( but not the "liberal kind")
2) resorts almost immediately to name calling and derision
3) Reluctance to   address the points and concerns of others
4) Reluctance to  address questions about his own beliefs.
5) Actually defined a "Real conservative" with  expectation of lockstep adherence
6) Argued for the one course of action that would be the most destructive for our cause. (Well, except for voting for Obama because you want to get to the collapse quicker.... wait, maybe I am the mole!)

This is the sort of thing I see on Democratic Underground when they have an internal disagreement.
The Paulbot hypothesis is valid, but normally the Paulbot can't resist announcing his support for Ron Paul- its usually a matter of personal pride - proof they are better and smarter.





Normally I would suspect this guy is a libnut plant sent to discourage people from voting for Romney so his Lord and Savior Obama can eek out a narrow victory this fall, but then he is either way too over the top stupid (even for a libnut) or perhaps we have a legitimate right-wing extremist Nazi type clown who hates everybody on our hands.  Perhaps David Duke is his ideal candidate?  The fact that he cannot list anyone he supports is indicative of a disingenuous person any way you cut it.  Free and open debate and discussion I like, asshattery and ad hom attacks simply to get himself off we do not need.  My 2 cents.

Considering how long we've all been at this (forum/politics/debating), having a rank amateur parachute in here expecting that "loud" repetition serves as a good argument is .... funny.

It kinda is. I was having a good time - up to a point - feeding him rope.

I thought it interesting in the wake of the other guy who thought we were too extreme to encounter this guy who thought we were all P-whipped. I don't expect - or even want a unison of voices. I like to test my ideas to gauge their strength and validity. But it has to be done with at least a modicum of civility.

C'est la vie

Civility with one another is an attractive feature of this forum. But I'm even less concerned with civility than I am with intellectual honesty, coherent thought in defense of ones positions, and demonstrating through these things that one is not here under false pretenses.

A basic understanding ought to be that coming here for the sole purpose of harassment and ridicule will be dealt with. Such a person will not likely evolve into a valued member.

Certainly nothing to atone for Trap. Some of our most regular and valued members were invited in just such a manner. I'm not sure what this clown's game was, but I don't really care. I think Weisshaupt has it pegged pretty well. The guy wasn't engaging or defending anything - just dropping bombs. Even with attempts to engage him, and your mild admonition, he showed he was only interested in conflict for its own sake.

Thanks, I just wanted everyone who is interested to understand the likely reason that this buffoon ended up on our doorstep.

And with that I am bowing out of this thread for the time being.

You mean you DIDN'T hire that guy as a welcome present for me, to be the straight man for my Velostat® (http://stopabductions.com) joke?

Boy, I hope no innocents were hurt in the fallout...

I haven't stopped kicking him, actually.

And it seems that several people wish that he was still here to kick around in person. Maybe I shouldn't have been so hard on the moron. Maybe I should have held off on the ban hammer for a day or two. Too late now.

If he was genuinely interested in debate I see nothing that would stop an honest debate from all of us. I, personally believe that the only way we'll ever restore the republic envisioned by the Founders is by civil war. It's not that I want to see death and destruction(I do when it comes to communist/socialist), it's just that so much is wrong and they, the enemy, aren't just going to lay down after their accomplishments thus far.

Admit it, we need a wake up call, more like a air raid siren, to get them to realize just how far from the tree of Liberty we are. Apparently, is tinfoil hat wearing fool refused to be 1 civil , and wasn't prepared to accept that he didn't know everything a sure sign of foolishness.

I know most here dislike Romney for what he is, a total and complete basket case liberal wrapped currently in GOP clothing but at least we can be honest with each other in terms of the why some will vote in his favor while respect to others that won't.

What an idiot...like having a stick of dynamite with a one inch fuse in a shed with closed door.

Hey...

I just wanted to apologize to everyone for my behavior yesterday.

Let me explain:

I have repressed my feelings for other men for so long that it has driven me crazy. Most of the time I am quite happy to merely DRESS IN WOMENS CLOTHING AND PRANCE ABOUT NAKED IN FRONT OF AN OPEN WINDOW!!!

But then I FEEL THE NEED TO VISIT CONSERVATIVE FORUMS AND FLAME EVERYONE AND ACT VERY TARDED!!!

There, I feel much better now.

You guys have been great. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
