  • Yes, all of this controversy brings the termites out of the woodwork.

    Pretty soon, everyone "assumes" something, but no one really thinks things through.

    And it is helped along by the media.

  • Zook, you need to check out this link, http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2012/03/16/executive-order-national-d...

    This is an Executive Order that was released on Friday. This may be the precursor to a coming Declaration of Martial Law. There have been E.O.s like this in the past but this one differs in many respects. With this one Martial Law can be declared even in a "non emergency."

    This could be bad, very bad.

  • OK .....I'll bite ....were does it say marial law can be declared "even in a non emergency"....I must have missed that so tell me were please.........what section??????

  • Read and do some research. This is no more than a re-write of a much older executive order, and is authorized by a 1950 act of Congress. I know it's a very boring read, but give it a try.

  • Lamont, they are looking for a boogy-man everywhere.

    -- Posted by royincaldwell on Mon, Mar 19, 2012, at 4:38 PM
  • Lamont, section 201 reads "(b) The Secretary of each agency delegated authority under subsection (a) of this section (resource departments) shall plan for and issue regulations to prioritize and allocate resources and establish standards and procedures by which the authority shall be used to promote the national defense, under both emergency and non-emergency conditions."

    This is what's different from past versions.

    This one also gives Homeland Security most of the authority.

  • Well, I'll be darned. It's going to be truly interesting if he has in mind what I think he might have in mind.

    This isn't martial law that's being considered.

  • Obama's political machine is working overtime (getting a great head start over the republican nominee) to make sure their man gets re-elected. And if he does get re-elected, Obama and his Chicago thugs will be really turning up the heat to get the 2nd amendment tossed out. Obama right now is considering tapping into the federal oil reserves so he can get the price of gas lowered until after the election.

  • SO.....MAKE ME UNDERSTAND HOW THAT APPLIIES TO MARIAL LAW..........SEEMS TO ME OUR OATH SAID FORGIEN AND DOMESTIC.I could be wrong so enlighten me.....I AM NOT GOING TO REACT TO THIS OTHER THAN TO SAY....IF we are looking for something to create civil uprising in this country It WOULD SEEM TO ME THAT WE WOULD THINK OF THE CONSQUENCES OF THAT.CONSIDER WHO WILL PROBALLY CATCH THE BRUNT OF THAT.I AS A BLACK IN THIS COUNTRY FEEL I WILL.....SO TELL ME HOW I SHOULD REACT TO THAT.IT is obvious to me that you dont see that side of this WITCH HUNT NOR DO I THINK YOU CARE.....that is my opinion.I could have said the same about our previous presidents policies after 9/11.The original drafts of the patriot act should have curled EVERYONES hair,IT STILL LEAVES A LOT TO BE DESIRED ,do you get excited about that??? IF not why not???? HASNT THIS GONE FAR ENOUGH ?????? How far do you want it to go ???

  • DID YOU TAKE INTO ACCOUNT WHO HE WAS ADRESSING AND WERE HE WAS OR DO YOU FEEL THAT DOESNT COUNT??

    Everyone is not in love with firearms.In some community's they create more havoc than they are worth.The urban community's see firearms differently.CONSIDERING d.c. id probally call for the same thing in the 90'S.SO how about looking at the whole context before you start condeming.

    -- Posted by lamont on Mon, Mar 19, 2012, at 9:07 PM
  • Lamont, it doesn't matter that everyone is not in love with firearms. The right to own guns is a constitutional right and no one should be able to take that right away from the citizens. Has crime gone down in D.C. with their strict gun-control laws?

    -- Posted by Second Wind on Tue, Mar 20, 2012, at 1:43 PM
  • ZOOK ....I am not not NOT NOT ....saying anything about your constituional rights. I am talking about the time the speech was made,who to ,what circumstances that is all I am saying.......period. I HAVE GOT SOME NEWS FOR YOU

    IF you broke into someone in my family's home you would probally die from a gunshot.Breakins usually occcur in urban areas when no one is home for that reason.Feelings are feelings please get in touch with that.

  • Lamont, I GOT NEWS FOR YOU: watch the video, read about Fast and Furious and all the other things Holder and this administration has done. Anybody with half a brain would see this is a direct attempt to ban guns or at least control people's access to them. No one who explores this issue could come to any other conclusion. Deny it all you want. If you want to make a country socialist, you have to confiscate firearms or control people's right to them.

  • WELL WELL...BUCKSHOT.....I SEE YOUR NOW GOING TO TELL ME WHAT I KNOW AND DONT KNOW.I THINK MOST PEOPLE WOULD CALL.....BEDFORD STYVESANT,BROOKLYN N.Y. URBAN,BUT I AM SURE AND EXPERT LIKE YOU WILL TELL US WHAT IT IS. DIDNT YOU JUST CALL SOMEONE ARROGANT FOR DOING WHAT YOU JUST DID TO ME OR WHAT YOU JUST DID TO ME DOESNT COUNT BECAUSE YOU DID IT......AH NOW I GOT IT. ....You dont know diddley about me.So dont attempt to tell me .....

    SW.....I DIDNT DENY ANYTHING I ASKED A QUESTION considering where, when and how.You need to look before you leaP. HOW is your HALF BRAIN doing?? WHY would I consider a source that has been proven to falsify,forge,edit and present material out of context,and consider it truth? ( fox news admits that).YOUR SO BUSY TRYING TO ATTACK LIBERALS AS YOU PERCIEVE THEM THAT YOU DIDNT GET WHAT I SAID......I WAS LETTING ZOOK KNOW THAT I UNDERSTAND THE FIRARMS ISSUE ....HE GOT IT WHATS YOUR PROBLEM??????THE" I GOT NEWS FOR YOU" WAS SO HE GOT MY POINT ABOUT URBAN FOLKS

    ZOO...... You know the people in those urban areas have the same values AS ANY OTHER american.WE owned the homestead I WAS raised in for over 50 yrs sold it when mom died. The other houses we own I have nieces and nephews who live in them on the same block.My father was a fanatical hunter we always had weapons in the house He also loved to deep sea fish.Point being if you broke in you would die, given N.Y. law those folks knew they would go to jail, they did not care, you would die.NO different than here or anywhere.We did not have bars on the windows etc.Most breakins in urban areas are in the daytime for that reason, people are working less chance of dieing.

    JANET RENO.....never could get a handle on her she made more bad decision than anyone I know.It was like she was on some kind of crusade to rid the U.S. of cults.BELIEVE ME I HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE WEAVER THING AND YES THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN SOME PROSECUTIONS IN BOTH IT AND WACO.I dont know wether she had bad advisors or wether she was a one person campaign.TERIBBLE!!!!!!!!

    AND BUCKSHOT YOU WANT TO KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT ME ASK.....LIKE..... HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT.......

    I SEE YOU FEEL YOU CAN CALL ALL KINDS OF NAMES I HAVNT QUITE FIGURED OUT HOW THAT GOES YET.....MUST HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH POLITICS.....BECAUSE YOU DONT EVER SEEM TO CATCH ANY FLAK FOR IT.......hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

  • I didnt say you called me a name your comment was.......DO NOT ATTEMPT TO TELL US WHAT AND URBAN COMMUNITY FEELS BECAUSE THERES NO WAY YOU WOULD KNOW.........SO I thought I would let you know that I most certainly would know ....I was raised In one.......aS FAR AS THE NAME CALLING I have a question....DO YOU READLY CALL PEOPLE SC..GS OR IS THAT RESERVED FOR CERTAIN PEOPLE???? JUST WONDERING??????? I get real tired of your paternalistic garbage.And that;s on you.I do have a good imagination,that is why I can see most people as intrinsically good and then theres _ _ _???? You didnt say speak for yourself get it.

    ZOOK......did you hear about the last pentagon scenario concerning the mid east?????? ALMOST WORD FOR WORD WHAT I told you it really shook me up....that was the same kinda stuff that we studied at the war college kinda scary because of how long ago that was.Not good at all....WE ALMOST CANT STAY OUT WE WILL BE DRAWN IN AND THAT WILL WEAKEN US .

    DONT concern yourself with the name calling it is one sided I havnt done it and wont.I get tired of the personal attacks because I am viewed as liberal and therfore stupid it gets under my skin.

  • BUCKSHOT YOU DONT HURT MY FEELINGS......YOU solidfy them towards people who come off as you do.NEVER said I speak for the black community that is what YOU said.I make my statments from that point of view as I am what I am but I dont speak for them as a group.I dont speak for any group.Dont try to tell me what happens in the community's you know nothing about unless you lived there.DID you live there????? I stated there is a different feeling about weapons in the community....didnt say what it was did I???? IF I want to know what is happening in another community I ask.

    I will post what I want IN REFERENCE TO WHAT EVER if you think that there will just be slander as you see fit your wrong.NO I dont like those kinds of terms in reference to anyone THEY ARE UN CALLED FOR AS I SEE IT.There are a lot of folks I could curse.I am not into what is politically exspedient to make myself look good so you just curse on.YOU do post to inflame and I am not the only one who has said so.What you do is insult and attack the people YOU consider liberal we know that sometimes we ignore sometimes we dont.Thankfully all conservatives dont come off as arrogant,judgemental,paternalistic,hollier than thou,your wrong I am right,only conservatives can save the world people so there can be dialoge.

    LAST BUT NOT LEAST....... DONT EVER TRY TO TELL ME WHAT TO DO.......WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?????

    SO BEFORE I TELL YOU WERE TO GO USING THE KIND OF WORDS YOU DO....... I WILL LEAVE IT AT THAT
