every one who voted for the Patriot Act which gives us freedom by taking away our right to free speach, right to privacy, and right not to be wiretaped or searched without a court order. Oh yea, and the right to file a writ of habius corpus against unlawful detention – prison for life with no charges or trial.”
I personally like the john warner defense act of 2006. The president can declare martial law in case of a “national emergency”.
When I see headlines like this “Iranian warship ‘harass’ US Navy”.
My overly cynical, paranoid mind thinks “gulf of tokin II”. Then to add to the nightmere senerio, I see Bush and Co. Bomb Iran. Oil exports shut down from Iran and Venezuala cutting off 5 million barrels of oil a day off of the world market spiking prices to $400 a barrel causing shortages and economic mayhem. A perfect time to declare a national emergency creating dictator Bush for life. I could go on but you get the picture.
What would everybody do if martial law was delcared in america because it can be….?
