You may joke, but there is a Constitutional issue here. If the President has given control of a branch of the military to an agent of a foreign government, he has committed treason.

The other possibility is that he no longer controls the military, in which case we are, by default, in a state of revolution.

The talking heads can kiss that off as a mistake on the part of some Coast Guard officer, but in point of fact, the President cannot delegate a military arm IN AMERICA or IN AMERICAN WATERS to a foreign power.

If the CBS crew got that story on tape and it was accurately reported, someone had better jump up in a hurry.

A “recruiting tool for jihadists”; it seems like it has certainly gotten you ready and rearing to go for a bit of holy war.
-craig

That cannot be inferred from anything in my post. Your imagination is running wild.

I am an atheist. I don’t fight holy wars or think it’s very smart to kill other people who believe in exactly the same god someone else does simply because they cannot agree whether His last prophet was Jesus or Mohammad, both of whom have been dead for so long that it no longer matters until one comes back.

But that’s how stupid people are; and they crow about being created in god’s image and kill each other because…..they want to.

The picture on the right is LAPD and the LA County Sheriff’s Department, of which I am a retired member. I cannot ever recall working in Arizona and the incident you portray did not occur in Arizona and has nothing to do with Arizopna or Sarah Palin. I protest the use of this photo out of context in the strongest possible way; I demand it’s removal, and I am forwarding the page to both the LASD and LAPD.

I am heavily pro-gun because I have carried one for forty years and sometimes, someone just wants to kill you. But I’d like to see that government examination as well.

The Second Amendment is not debatable. More people die from falls than they do from firearms. Almost half a million die in hospitals every year from simple medical mistakes. More people are injured by their own table saws than by firearms. More children die from parental neglect that firearms…

The list goes on. But that’s not the issue. The issue is that some idiot at TSA (or any Homeland Security agency) can put you on a no-fly list without any reason at all. So ‘no fly’ lists mean nothing at all. Let’s look.

Yes. It was better when we owned the high road by our deeds instead of trying to buy it by with our influence. You may quote me. That is original.

2nd Amendment Rights Protected During Emergency In Hawaii; “Castle Doctrine” Enacted As Governor Signs Laws Governor Linda Lingle today signed into law two important bills preserving 2nd Amendment  rights passed by the recently adjourned 25th Hawaii State Legislature. SB 358, SD1, HD2 introduced by State Senator Sam Slom (R-8th O’ahu – Hawaii Kai to Diamondhead) (Act 96)  establishes provisions relating to prohibition against seizure of firearms or ammunition during emergency or disaster, suspension of permit or license. Prohibits any person or government entity to seize or confiscate, under any civil defense, emergency, or disaster relief powers or functions conferred, or during any civil defense emergency period, or during any time of national emergency or crisis, any firearm or ammunition and permit or license of any individual who is lawfully permitted to carry or possess the firearm or ammunition and who carries, possesses, or uses the firearm or ammunition in a lawful manner and in accordance with the criminal laws of this State. — Amends provisions relating to civil defense powers, in general.  Section Affected: 134- (1 SECTION), 128-6. Slom, a Trustee and Secretary of the Bellevue, Washington-based Second Amendment Foundation said he introduced the legislation in part as a result of Hurricane Katrina’s aftermath in New Orleans when law enforcement officials went door-to-door and seized legal firearms from legally registered owners. The court subsequently overturned  the state’s actions. He said he also had worried constituents call this year during the Hawaii Tidal Wave alert. Citizens were concerned that the police would not be able to protect everyone and their property during a major emergency. Slom added, ” I emphasize this law applies to legally owned and registered firearms. This is a good bill and Governor Linda Lingle should be thanked  for her prompt attention to this important legislation which passed the Senate unanimously. Hawaii now joins 30 other states with similar legislation.” The other bill signed today (Act 97) is SB0532 SD1 HD1 CD1 RELATING TO LIMITING CIVIL LIABILITY.  Also known as the “CASTLE DOCTRINE”, and originally introduced by Slom, the version that passed was sponsored by Senate Judiciary Chairman Brian Taniguchi (D-Manoa), By Request. Current Hawaii law requires a homeowner to “retreat” from his or her own home when invaded by a criminal engaging in a felony. The new law establishes provisions relating to owner to felon; limited liability. Provides that any owner of any other interest in real property shall not be liable to any perpetrator for any injury or death that occurs upon the real property during the course or after the commission of certain felony offenses. – Section Affected: 663- (1 SECTION) OWNER TO FELON. Slom said of this bill, “It represents common sense and confirms in Hawaii the old adage, “A man’s (or woman’s) home is his (her) castle.” It should put potential criminals on notice that they no longer can break in, commit a felony, threaten the owner and escape with no risk of personal harm. Both laws are about taking back our individual, Constitutional rights”
