NObama and the NDAA

Picture this, if you will: a family is gathered in the living room, relaxing and enjoying the evening together, when there is a knock on the front door. The man gets up to answer the door, and when he opens it he is greeted by the sight of a half-dozen members of the nation's military in full uniform and combat gear. They ask for the man's name, and when he gives it they announce that he is under arrest, seizing him and placing him in handcuffs. When he asks what he is being arrested for, he is told that the charge is "committing a belligerent act against the nation" in a time of war. What war, the man asks, and he is told "the war on terrorism." He demands to see an arrest warrant, and is roundly ignored by the soldiers; instead, he is hustled off to a waiting vehicle, shoved inside, and taken away for detention at the nearest military facility. Hours later, when the wife contacts the commanding officer of the base and inquires as to how long her husband is to be held, she is told "indefinitely, or until hostilities cease." She asks for proof of a crime and is told that there is no requirement to produce such proof, after which the line goes dead.

Sounds like something out of Cuba, Russia, or Nazi Germany, doesn't it? We here in this nation have no need to worry about something like this ever happening here because we're protected by the Constitution, right?

WRONG.

It most certainly CAN happen here, effective December 31, 2011, when the President of the United States signed the National Defense Authorization Act into law. With the stroke of a pen, The Great Pretender granted the authority to the US military to detain, without providing a writ of habeus corpus, any person located in the United States to include American citizens, and detain them at a military installation indefinitely or "until hostilities cease." And if you're talking about the war on terrorism, you could very well be talking about years.

The simple fact that a sitting President of the United States would sign into law ANY bill which allows a US Citizen to be taken into custody by military authorities without providing a writ of habeus corpus, and that the citizen can be detained indefinitely disgusts and angers me to no end. The last President to do something like this was Abraham Lincoln when he suspended the writ of habeus corpus in 1862 so he could imprison and thereby silence the many editors of the Northern newspapers who were critical of him and his illegal war on the Southern people. Congress later sactioned him for this, but by that time he was dead at the hands of John Wilkes Booth. In this case, however, I don't expect us to see any sanctioning by Congress of the President since the Congress is responsible for drafting and approving the law in the first place. In my eyes they are almost as guilty as the President.

But it's the President who bears the brunt of the blame for this travesty against liberty and justice, for it's the President of the United States who swore in his Oath of Office that he would "protect and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic." By signing this bill into law he has violated and made a mockery of that oath, and I despise him for it. It is my opinion that this man is the single worst President this nation has ever had, and he has taken a bold step forward into depriving American citizens of their civil liberties and their personal freedoms. It is my learned opinion that, should this buffoon win re-election and a second term in the White House, he will begin that term with an all-out attack on our Second Amendment rights. He will have nothing to lose since he is prohibited by law from running for or serving a third term, so it only stands to reason that his second term will be the one in which he moves on the Second Amendment. He now has a law in place that will allow him to drum up charges on minimal evidence - if any - and have American citizens arrested by the US military, and the next logical step to assure complete control over the people is to disarm them.

I would only hope that the members of our military would stand up and tell NObama to kiss their collective ass should he ever order them to arrest an American citizen. I know I would.

In the mean time there's an organization out there that an old military buddy of mine told me about, and now that this bill has been signed into law I think it's high time I joined it. The organization is called "Oath Keepers," and thier motto is "Not On Our Watch." It's made up of active/former/retired military and law enforcement people, and they've adopted ten orders that they have stated they will not obey. The third order they will not obey is this: "We will NOT obey any order to detain American citizens as “unlawful enemy combatants” or to subject them to trial by military tribunal."

In other words, they're not going to obey any order given by any President citing the NDAA as the reason a citizen is to be taken into custody. PERIOD.

And neither will I.

It has finally reached a point in our nation where we as a people must do something about the inept, socialistic buffoon who is sitting in the Oval Office; we must also do something to protect ourselves, our liberty, our freedoms, and our country. And I know just what I'm gonna do.

First, I'm gonna join Oath Keepers. Second, I'm gonna vote NObama out of office in November.

What are YOU gonna do?
