Its always guantanamo terrorists...Of course it could never happen here!..
Re: yourpresident wants to lock you up!! He isn't my President - I consider him an illegal alien usurping the office of POTUS. SO, all in his cabinet are appointed illegally, and all laws he has signed are null and void. His entire Immaculate Selection is based on lies, perjury and treason. Yeah, his cronies in the Chicagoland Mafia can try to lock me away - then they find out what a Rightwing Extremist can really do....... We really don't want to go there, do we barry? And there are MILLIONS just like me........ . . . . .
Re: yourpresident wants to lock you up!! I encourage more states to invoke their 9 th and 10 th amendment rights to keep them out of normal Americans lives. They are the Extremists, we are armed citizens. They keep up the "double speak" to try and turn it around on the real patriots. I don't recognize them either and 100 million gun owners agree. We really need Gene McCarty! They are spewing out pure evil up there on the Hill. Fit me for a box, not a chain. There has never been an occasion where a people have given up their weapons in the interest of peace that didn't end up in thier massacre. Louis L'Amour
As time goes on, and this misadministration bounces the Ship of State from one iceberg to another, I am seeing less and less difference between The Kenyan and his buddy Hugo Chavez - same tactics, same ideas of ruling rather than governing, same catastrophic decisions. With the bad performance of his First Hundred Daze, can we survive four years of this narcissistic madman?
Somewhat sardonically, I say, "Yes, we can." This may be done with massive uprising of the electorate, or by actions originating outside the borders. Either way, society, global and local, as we know it is about to undergo massive reset. That will happen whether or not zero is displaced, either with or without his presence. I can't even begin to list all the contributions to forcing of the reset that I predict; most are pretty obvious and closely related to the economy, past and present. "Yes, we can" get thru the reset, but it will not be collectively accomplished, except in very small groups or "tribes." More likely, the individual will do the preps he needs to be able to function until the interregnum is over, then join with others that have made it thru to establish a startup society from the remnants of the collapse. And so, we prepare. And so, the cycle renews. And I hope my pessimistic view is dead wrong, or my kids and granddaughter are going to go thru hell^nth. They are ill equipped across the board and ill inclined to do anything positive for themselves. Gentlemen, start your gardens.
