The reservations he’s talking about are the FEMA camps he’ll throw your sorry kiesters into.
Vote for Ron Paul to Restore our Bill of Rights.

To the blind person who said this: “Much ado about nothing. When did Republicans go soft on terrorism? They applauded when GW signed similar legislation. If you are not a terrorist, you don’t have to worry. If you are, you don’t really care about some stupid law. Either way, much ado about nothing.”

Actually, what this is now is a reason to detain ANYONE for ANY REASON. Like when they drag us away to FEMA camps. This is not about terrorism, this is about control! This will not just apply to potential terrorists. This will apply to just about anyone that they feel they have a right to detain. You need to wake up.

The media constantly cast aspersions on Ron Paul’s claims about having never read the offensive newsletters that were published under his name.

The ironic thing is that 95% of House and Senate members DO NOT READ THE BILLS THEY PASS, but are not called to task for this. Ron Paul even wrote a bill that would mandate a certain time period between the introduction of a bill and its vote so that, you know, more than he and five other Congressmen might actually read it.

How can Homeland Security portray white people as the most likely terrorists?

Because in America that’s the case.

you cannot make this up and regardless a President can Veto a
bill if he is against it .

The majority Republican House wanted the MILITARY to have the right of unlimited detention? Why?

What a great way to start the new year…. I just looked up this Ron Paul guy and it looks like hes actually going to win iowas primary and hes been promoting the constitution his whole career, seems genuine. I hope he beats President Obama for this inexcusable act.

Posted by: zachary camp | December 31, 2011, 9:48 pm 9:48 pm

Typical Obama, signs it, but excuses himself by saying he has reservations. A vote for Ron Paul is a vote for Obama, just as a vote for Ross Perot was a vote for Clinton.

Because in the United States, they are.

Sodacrackers2… Ron paul is a Republican, so a vote for him will be the only real choice against President Obama. Hes going to win iowas primary. The other republicans support this as well as the patriot act so a vote for anyone but ron paul is a vote against the constitution.

this is why we need to support ron paul, for the record i wrote my congressman, lindsey grahmn replied back that “he felt it necessary to the security of america” in reply to my objection as a constiuent that this is an infringement of a right. tim scott replied back that this would not effect citizens. obama knew exactly what he was doing, the clock is ticking open your eyes. they have your name and mine, we are all on the list

Un-American!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Saying he signed this bill “with reservations” is equivalent of ” I smoked pot but did not inhale.” This is wrong on all levels. This is NOT America.

The MSM has not been saying much about this bill for a couple of months. The original Senate Bill part to include indefinite detention of American Citizens was introduced by Sen. John McCain (R) and Sen. Carl Levin(D) behind closed doors. There was a little amount of debate about changing the language in the final bill, but it was reported the White House would NOT sign the Bill WITHOUT the Detention clause. A veto meant no money to continue our current war strategy, so the final Bill passed easily. Only ONE candidate for President has been outspoken about this Bill because it is a CLEAR VIOLATION OF OUR CONSTITUTION. That candidate is RON PAUL.

The end of the republic is nigh!

This a treasonous act by the President and every Senator and Rep that voted for it. They have all committed an act of TREASON against the Constitution they swore to uphold. People of this country its time to ACT! Our power lies at the polls. The “ruling” class of this country need a louder message than 2010. LET THEM HEAR YOU LOUD AND CLEAR.

Posted by: apache | December 31, 2011, 10:39 pm 10:39 pm

Obama’s pick for V.P., Joe Biden, coauthored the core of what would eventually become the Patriot Act (which was written BEFORE 9/11 ever happened). People should have known ahead of time that Obama would be terrible on civil liberties. He won’t even let medical marijuana facilities operate in peace.

This is Tyranny! This goes against our constitution! There is no way this can be passed!

Posted by: Slave | December 31, 2011, 10:48 pm 10:48 pm

We desperately need to send a message to both parties – by supporting Ron Paul. THE MAJORITY OF BOTH parties signed this into law.

And they repeat over and over that Ron Paul is dangerous? He is only dangerous if the Constitution and rule of law is dangerous. He IS dangerous to the establishment tyrants who support this.

Change your registration now and vote for him in the primaries. At the very least it would put pressure on Obama to move toward peace and civil liberties. Romney, Gingrich, Santorum, Perry will all move Obama toward more wars and police state policies.

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.

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.

Only one man is against this act — RON PAUL 2012

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.
