I understand that people have concerns about Ron Paul being racist and homophobic, but when the current president and other GOP candidates approve defense acts like this I, in all honesty, think stuff like his newsletters should take a back seat. If Ron Paul turns out to be a racist, I’d rather have a racist President that would end the war on drugs and free non-violent black drug offenders from prison instead of a non-prejudiced president that allows for indefinite detention of Americans without lawyer or trial.

Order will be restored in DC when it comes time for the President to pick up his retirement check

Obama loved passing this. Now he gets to further erode our constitutional rights. I would be shocked if anyone aproves of this. Even ex 4 and 5 star generals are against this policy.

Happy New Year, Comrades!

You may show your “papers” to the nice uniformed man before boarding the train to your nearest FEMA camp for “re-education”.

Proud to be an Amerikan indeed…

If Ron Paul is not our next President, we will not recognize what’s left of our country.

Oh so you guys believe material posted by Alex Jones. Cool. So you believe George Bush Sr. was in on the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Makes sense because he went from nowhere to being head of the CIA in a few short years.

Nonsense. 93 Democrats voted against it in the House, but 190 Republicans voted for it.

The reservations are the places where people will end up who dare find fault with the state, or associate with people who do, or give them the time of day, or look sneaky.

The Constitution is very clear. The congress only has the power to instigate suspension of Habeas Corpus, and only during times of invasion or insurrection. Recently the New York Times asked the presidential candidates about the power they believe the president has. Only Ron Paul cited the Constitution’s rule about suspension of Habeas Corpus. Obama declined to answer.

This is a sad day for what used to be America. All of us have it ingrained in us from a young child what these United States of America stand for and we know this in our hearts to be against anything we have stood for. Our constitution, the bill of rights is who we are and who we will be again. I leave you with this on the eve of a new year. I ask you, who are we and what have we become? What will we have to do to become that once proud Union of people once again.
Ron Paul is the only sollution, he puts forth an honest picture of who we are and what he would like us to become once again. For the love of our country get registered as a repulican so we can become the proud people of these United States of America once again, and vote Ron Paul and only Ron Paul.

NOTE WELL. Obama objected when the senate removed the language which would exempt US citizens. Last I heard, they had not put it back in.

It is a red herring anyway. “First they came for the foreigners.” Mr. Obama, the “Constitutional scholar” should know that the organic laws of this country say “all men are created equal,” and that the rights which the Constitution specifically bars the government from abrogating belong to all, not only US citizens. Before the passage of the 14th amendment there WERE no US citizens, only citizens of the several States.

Senator Levin repeats himself in that clip but doesn’t speak it clearly. If that’s all you’ve got – you haven’t got anything.

Surely you must have another source?

Everything else I’ve read says it was Levin himself (along with McCain) who pushed for indefinite detention – under the military.

Posted by: Bill | December 31, 2011, 11:33 pm 11:33 pm

Did someone say, ” It is time for Perry” . Perry believes in this NDAA indefinate detention stuff and so do all the rest of the neoconjob Republican Candidates, as well as most Republicans and Democrats: EXCEPT FOR RON PAUL!

MAKE SURE you know if your Senator or House Rep voted for this bill…and if so, VOTE THEM OUT!!! If they are a Dem, vote GOP; if GOP, vote DEM to send a CLEAR message!

And as for our President, he gets a pink slip too this November. MAKE IT SO!!! This is inexcusable!

“First they came for the “terrorists”,
and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a “terrorist”.

Then they came for the anarchists,
and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t an anarchist.

Then they came for the Ron Paul supporters,
and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a Ron Paul supporter.

Then they came for any leftover dissidents,
and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a dissident.

Then they came for me,
and there was no one left to speak out for me.”

Thank you for not posting my remarks. I went to a lot of trouble to write them. But, Ron Paul has been mentioned on this page already over 120 times. I think that says enough.

“Rev.” Wright exhorted God to damn America.
Looks like Obama has done just that.

It’s Ron Paul or tyranny, now. Our choice.

Ron Paul is the only one on the side of the people and his stand on this abomination proves it. All the negative things you hear about him in the media are lies. He is not homophobic or a racist and he does not want to throw grandma out in the cold. Please people, wake up and vote for Ron Paul!!!

Posted by: Ricardo | January 1, 2012, 12:49 am 12:49 am

The only thing scarier than the passage of this bill is the relatively little media attention it’s getting.

RESTORE THE CONSTITUTION

Posted by: david a dudenhoefer | January 1, 2012, 12:55 am 12:55 am

Who spoke out against this law? Ron Paul did, that’s who. Not Obama, or Ronmey, or Santorum, or Gingrich, or any of the others. They all think it’s fine if the President has you whisked away to some Turkish prison for “enhanced interrogation” because you posted something online the government didn’t like. Welcome to Amerika. citizens.

With reservations? YOU DONT SIGN LEGISLATION THAT REMOVES AMERICAN RIGHTS GUARANTEED IN THE CONSTITUTION……You JUST DONT sign it….ITS THAT DAMN SIMPLE

Posted by: Mark | January 1, 2012, 1:29 am 1:29 am

The fact is Ron Paul has a 30 year record of upholding individual freedom, rights, liberty, based on the Constitution. He opposes the corrupt over-powered Federal government with things like the privacy invasion of the TSA, the evil Patriot Act, the 4th amendment killing NDAA bill, the internet censorship bill SOPA, the racist and corrupt War on Drugs, and the unjust wars in the middle east.

Ron Paul is the only one fighting against those issues. Ron Paul is the ONLY vote that can beat Obama, pulling votes from dissatisfied Dems, the growing Independent population, and a growing portion of the Republicans. A vote for Paul is the ONLY vote for peace, prosperity and liberty.

Meredith you are wrong. The paragraph excluding US citizens does preclude the military from detaining US citizens but rather removes the requirement that they MUST be detained by the military. If you read it (the stuff signed by the President) you will find that this citizen provision merely allows the President to make the determination as to whether someone originally taken can be tried in civilian OR military court whereas a non-citizen MUST be tried by the military court.

“The requirement to detain a person in military custody under this section does not extend to citizens of the United States.” -NDAA signed by Obama

The NDAA REQUIRES that the military detain persons. the citizen paragraph gives them the flexibility to send civilians to regular courts IF THEY WANT TO!
