Freeper Civil Libertarians

In a rather frightening move, Obama has signed an omnibus bill that, among other things, would (if it's byzantine language is interpreted) allow the US government to hold US Citizens indefinitely.

Freepers, always ready to take a legit issue and make it crazy and dumb, mostly have an issue with the first word in that sentence.

sport knows this is Obama attacking Freepers:

Most of us understad who this laws is intended for. But the judas goats tell us we have nothing to worry about, the law will only be used against “terrorists”.

Never believe judas goats. Rookie mistake.

Secret Agent Man sarcastically wallows in unreality:

But, he said he won’t use it.

And there are no death panels.

And GM paid us back.

And Barry got Osama.

And he’s natural born and doesn’t have 19 different SSNs.

dragonblustar doesn't care what's in the law - if Obama signed it, it's bad.

I’ve seen how with this administration has worked their way around laws or reinterpret them.

Bottom line, I don’t trust this president, this congress to do the right thing.

If Obama signed something, it has a purpose and it’s not good for the country.

politicianslie knows Obama is too evil to not start the purges:

“My administration will not authorize the indefinite military detention without trial of American citizens. Indeed, I believe that doing so would break with our most important traditions and values as a nation.”

make of that what you will

First of all, you must understand that Obama thinks patriotic Americans are terrorists.

Second of all, he's sure Americans are stupid enough to let this be used quietly. Just like Nazi Germany, people will start disappearing. Few, at first; and then more and more.

They have to get control of what the enemy is saying and doing. Don't ever forget, patriotic Americans are the real enemy in Obama's eyes.

politicianslie also thinks it's Civil War 2 time. Again.

I think our representatives no longer represent us. Banana republic?

It will NOT stop until the hangings start.

Typical_Whitey clearly knows no liberals at all.

and his own base who would be storming the white house if it were Bush doing this is completely silent.... Liberals are proving themselves to be unprincipled hypocrites and foolish tools of big government enslavement.

redpoll explicates how the government will use this to create a permanent state of fear.

I don’t think they’ll do the old Stalinesque trick of having every city arrest 100 people at random to instill terror. I think they’ll carefully assess who to arrest, and at what moment, and skillfully manipulate the message and media in order to make it clear that the state is not to be questioned.

All it took for many years was popping Randy Weaver’s wife and burning a church filled with “cultists.” Modern media will inflate the few picked as examples so it will seem like 100 people at random in every city.

Yes, Waco and Ruby Ridge were demonstrations to keep Americans in line. I know that's all that kept me from taking up arms.
