S.1867 Subtitle D: Detainee Matters – (Sec. 1031) Affirms that the authority of the President to use all necessary and appropriate force pursuant to the Authorization for Use of Military Force includes the authority for U.S. Armed Forces to detain covered persons pending disposition under the law of war. Defines a “covered person” as a person who: (1) planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks on the United States of September 11, 2001, or harbored those responsible for such attacks; or (2) was part of or substantially supported al Qaeda, the Taliban, or associated forces that are engaged in hostilities against the United States or its coalition partners. Requires the Secretary to regularly brief Congress on the application of such authority. (Sec. 1032) Requires U.S. Armed Forces to hold in custody pending disposition a person who was a member or part of al Qaeda or an associated force and participated in planning or carrying out an attack or attempted attack against the United States or its coalition partners. Authorizes the Secretary to waive such requirement in the national security interest. Makes such requirement inapplicable to U.S. citizens or U.S. lawful resident aliens. Outlines implementation procedures. (Sec. 1033) Prohibits FY2012 DOD funds from being used to transfer any individual detained at Naval Station, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba (Guantanamo) to the custody or control of that individual’s country of origin, other foreign country, or foreign entity unless the Secretary makes a specified certification to Congress, including that the transferee country or entity is not a state sponsor of terrorism or terrorist organization and has agreed to ensure that the individual cannot take action to threaten the United States or its citizens or allies in the future. Prohibits any such transfer if there is a confirmed case of an individual who was transferred to a foreign country and subsequently engaged in terrorist activity. Authorizes the waiver of such prohibition in the national security interest. (Sec. 1034) Prohibits FY2012 funds from being used to construct or modify any facility in the United States or its territories or possessions to house any individual detained at Guantanamo for purposes of detention or imprisonment by DOD, unless authorized by Congress. Provides an exception. (Sec. 1035) Directs the Secretary to submit to the defense and intelligence committees procedures for implementing the periodic Guantanamo detainee review process required under Executive Order. (Sec. 1036) Directs the Secretary to submit to such committees: (1) procedures for determining the status of persons detained pursuant to the Authorization for Use of Military Force, and (2) any modifications to such procedures. (Sec. 1037) Allows a guilty plea as part of a pre-trial agreement in capital offense trials by military commission. Where do these military “experts” get the idea it is American citizens unless they are involved in terrorist activities with, specifically AlQueda? What people should be worried about is the lack of due process whether or not the suspect is involved with terrorists. If you get in bed with a terrorist against your own country, that is treason. » Posted By SueInCa On December 8, 2011 @ 2:32 pm I love Andy December 8, 2011 CONCORD, NH (The Borowitz Report)– Troubled by his fading poll numbers, former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney is considering a bold strategy to reboot his Presidential campaign: engaging in a high-profile extramarital affair. At a press conference in Concord, New Hampshire today Mr. Romney confirmed that he was consulting with senior advisors about the best way to proceed with an inappropriate relationship. “Republican voters have sent the message that they want to vote for an adulterer and I have heard them loud and clear,” he said. “I promise that I will engage in a world-class extramarital affair that will make all of us proud again.” According to one senior advisor, the Romney campaign was already holding focus groups and conducting special polling to determine the best person with whom Mr. Romney should conduct his extracurricular dalliance. And in a sign that Mr. Romney is taking precipitous action to find an object for his adulterous intentions, today his campaign launched a new dating site, SexyTimeWithMitt.com. But according to one female visitor to the site, Mr. Romney’s nascent career as a would-be lothario is still very much a work in progress: “When I first went on the site and he listed ‘tougher border control’ as one of his turn-offs, and five minutes later it was a turn-on.” Still, an aide to Mr. Romney maintains that the former Massachusetts governor has “the right stuff” to be a world-class adulterer: “In the focus groups, the two words we kept hearing over and over again were ‘wooden’ and ‘stiff.’” » Posted By SueInCa On December 8, 2011 @ 1:29 pm I went and could not find his petition. I saw an article interviewing him about it, but no link to sign » Posted By SueInCa On December 8, 2011 @ 1:22 pm Petroleum ether, also known as benzine, VM&P Naphtha (varnish makers’ & painters’), Petroleum Naphtha, Naphtha ASTM, Petroleum Spirits, X4 or Ligroin, is a group of various volatile, highly flammable, liquid hydrocarbon mixtures used chiefly as nonpolar solvents. Chemically, it is not an ether like diethyl ether, but a light hydrocarbon. What the EPA needs to do is to gather the loudest voices on the Right that want to get rid of the agency and hold a conference. Place water on the tables and the first person who picks it up to pour a glassful, have the speaker at the podium address them: “Mr/Ms Republican, we had that water brought in especially for you from (whatever current well known fracking site) and see if they put the carafe right back down again. It was used in Erin Brokovich more than likely to make a point but I think the point will be driven home by that single act. How are they going to explain they won’t drink the water from the same source they are trying to protect a corp’s fracking rights? » Posted By SueInCa On December 8, 2011 @ 1:06 pm They could not be more blatant » Posted By SueInCa On December 8, 2011 @ 12:53 pm Kes » Posted By SueInCa On December 8, 2011 @ 12:52 pm KQ You know who he follows? Focus on the Family – James Dobson. Nuff said. They also sponsored the “pro-choice” thing for the SB but I think they had to re-do the spot because so many people raised a fuss with the NFL. As you might imagine, I was one of those people. He was the child of missionaries/Baptist faith and was homeschooled. He received favoritism(some say) in playing at the High School of his choice because of his athletic ability. Some people did not take kindly to that as well. Here is the explanation of Tebowing: Tebowing “Tebowing” is a neologism derived from Tebow’s propensity for kneeling and praying. The origin of the phrase is credited to fan Jared Kleinstein, who posted a picture with friends on Facebook, in which they mimic a pose by Tebow that was caught on camera following the Denver Broncos’ improbable overtime victory over the Miami Dolphins on October 23, 2011. The popularity of the picture led Kleinstein to set up a website showing pictures submitted by people depicting various interpretations of “Tebowing” all over the world I think you all know what I think of Tebow and his followers. » Posted By SueInCa On December 8, 2011 @ 12:49 pm No wonder republicans want to get rid of it……………..they think we are all stupid. » Posted By SueInCa On December 8, 2011 @ 12:31 pm KT » Posted By SueInCa On December 8, 2011 @ 12:30 pm Here is a website called Underground News operated by Mark Crispin Miller.

I would love to take credit but she did all the work. » Posted By SueInCa On December 8, 2011 @ 10:31 am I sent this link to Leah Burton and she responded that Lou Engle is the NAR responsible for converting Catholics since the Catholic religion is on par with Mormonism to them.

I will look at them and see if I can make heads or tails of the bill and specifically the part about citizen detention. » Posted By SueInCa On December 8, 2011 @ 10:03 am E’Cat I get your comment on Ron Paul but I think it is more than that. The FED loaned out 16 trillion dollars to banks all over the world as a result of the meltdown and I think it was done because the fault mostly lies in the American Financial system ie. Wall Street Banks. They also lent on a ratio of 40 to 1 for banks in the last decade. Can you imagine anyone loaning you 40 dollars for every 1 dollar you had as an asset? I calculated it for me a few years ago and if I got favorable rates like that I could borrow 2.1 million dollars. Not going to happen. Then you have to look at the head(s) of the FED and what they did, mainly Greenspan. He closed his eyes to the catastrophe that was coming our way and kept interest rates unnaturally low. I don’t believe the FED should be gone totally but I do believe they need strict oversight by congress, then when the shit hits the fan, you have two entities to go to and have them explain what happened or you have one entity that is watching what the FED is doing at all times. » Posted By SueInCa On December 8, 2011 @ 9:59 am Em the senate bill was S.1857 and as far as I can tell the ACLU and others are foaming at the mouth about. I f you get in bed with terrorists (which it speaks to) then you deserve detainment but not without representation. Perhaps that is what they are up in arms about but the comments I have seen do not detail that, » Posted By SueInCa On December 7, 2011 @ 8:06 pm Thanks Em I will google Feinstein » Posted By SueInCa On December 7, 2011 @ 7:42 pm Kes » Posted By SueInCa On December 7, 2011 @ 7:14 pm http://www.talk2action.org/story/2011/12/5/125811/912 It appears that Stephen Harper is on a mission to re-create the Republican stand on American Politics.

Governor of North Carolina, was the featured guest on the most recent installment of Rick Joyner’s “Prophetic Perspective on Current Events” program. FYI EM » Posted By SueInCa On December 7, 2011 @ 6:35 pm If anyone saw Up with Chris Hayes this weekend, the pastor mentioned here was on his show. He seems like a pretty rational guy, although he describes himself as right of center but he is mixed up with the dominion crowd. He is either a good liar or he really does not know what he is getting mixed up in. The conversation on Sunday was centered around Hispanics and GOTV “In a new video (about ten minutes in), Lou Engle mentions a joint venture he is forming with Sam Rodriguez aimed at mobilizing Hispanics for the fight against abortion.” In this one Lou Engle is visited in the night by a Hispanic apparition that is sending him to California to stop abortion through the hispanic peoples. » Posted By SueInCa On December 7, 2011 @ 6:19 pm I have been scrubbing through HR 1540 to find where people are getting the info that the military can detainee regular US citizens without due process and I cannot find it. I did find these gems though. Subtitle G: Other Matters – (Sec. 361) Directs the Secretary, in carrying out security clearance adjudications, to give special consideration to members with a foreclosure on their credit report. Subtitle D: Readiness – (Sec. 331) Amends the Skelton Act to: (1) allow funds voluntarily contributed to DOD for offsetting the costs of mitigation measures to remain available until expended, and (2) allow the Secretary to accept voluntary contributions to conduct studies of potential mitigation measures. (Sec. 534) Reaffirms the policy outlined in the Defense of Marriage Act that “marriage” means only a legal union between one man and one woman, and “spouse” refers only to a person of the opposite sex who is a husband or wife. (Sec. 535) Allows: (1) a military installation or other DOD property to be used as the site for a marriage ceremony only if the marriage complies with the definition of marriage in the above Act; and (2) a member, or DOD civilian employee, acting in an official capacity to assist in or perform a marriage only if the marriage so complies. » Posted By SueInCa On December 7, 2011 @ 6:10 pm Patsy » Posted By SueInCa On December 7, 2011 @ 10:19 am I like that one too, I like alot of diffferent music but Hawaiian is really special. We stay at an old fashioned hotel in Kaanapali and the band playing hawaiian music nearly drov e my daughter insane lol » Posted By SueInCa On December 6, 2011 @ 10:59 pm OK bear with me, but I get The Blaze because i want to keep up with what they are saying in crazyland. So this is an exerpt from an interview Glenduh did with Newt. This is the person everyone is saying on the right is an eloquent speaker, I don’t happen to agree “GLENN: Regulation and the government scares the crap out of me and I think most Tea Party kind of leaning conservatives, and Theodore Roosevelt was the guy who started the Progressive Party. How would you characterize your relationship with the progressive ideals of Theodore Roosevelt? GINGRICH: Well, that depends on which phase of Roosevelt you’re talking about. The 1912, he’s become a big government, centralized power advocate running an a third party candidate which, for example, Roosevelt advocated the Food and Drug Act after he was eating ‑‑ and this supposedly the story, after he was eating sausage and eggs while reading up to Sinclair’s The Jungle, which has a scene in which a man falls into a vat at the sausage factory and becomes part of the sausage. And if you go back to that era where people had ‑‑ dealing with the Chinese where the people had doctored food, they had put all sorts of junk in food, they ‑‑ you know, I as a child who lived in Europe and I always marveled at the fact that American water is drinkable virtually anywhere.” » Posted By SueInCa On December 6, 2011 @ 1:34 pmComments Posted By SueInCa
Falling in Polls, Romney Considers Adultery
Huddles with Advisors About Possible Affair
I think your insight on this is spot on
He is on Twitter as well
And some of the nasty comments below that post made me want to bitch slap a few posters. When will some citizens of this country realize they are not better, just luckier.
the one thing I would object to would be detention of a US Citizen without due process. Bradley Manning seems to be an example but he also falls under the UCMJ so that may be different. It also says during war but does not specify if that is a “declared” war which I believe we have not had since WWII?
They are going for the evangelical Hispanics first, then we shall see what happens. They know they will not get huge Hispanic support but on the issue of abortion, they will get hispanics who might vote liberal/Dem but are against abortion,
High praise coming from you. I am pretty tough but I do admit wanting to put my hand through the monitor a few times and bitch slap someone over there.
