The End Of Habeas Corpus
In New Year’s Eve 2011, President Barack Obama signed the National Defense Authorization Act into law. This bill further erodes our civil liberties by allowing the President to indefinitely detain—hold without legal counsel—anyone he declares to be a terrorist, including American citizens. Even though President Obama, in a signing statement, claimed he would never use this power, he now has that ability. And so will any future President.
Back in 1945, at the end of World War II, American journalist Milton Mayer went to Germany to find out why the Nazis had been allowed to destroy that country’s civil liberties. One of the Germans Mayer interviewed for his book They Thought They Were Free explained it like this: “To live in this process is absolutely not to be able to notice it…each step so small, so inconsequential, so well explained…one no more saw it developing from day to day than a farmer in his field sees the corn growing. One day it is over his head.”
So I ask you: Regarding the gradual erosion of America’s civil liberties, how high is the corn in the field?

Very good point-What make the issue of civil liberties even more critical is the level of conscience among the american people-In short the average joe doesnt really seem to give a damn and is marching along like sheep in a flock.
There is the long held mistaken sense of the US being the ” Home of the Free” when in actuality we are slipping ever closer to the being exactly like cold war russia .Not much difference when you really think about it..

Where are the much-vaunted American patriots? (apart from Larry) where is the uprising? I challenge the macho-men, with their ammo presses and bunkers, When does the revolt start?
After all this time, blabbing on about the Commies, the UN, the Russians, you’re so fucking ignorant you never even saw it coming; a Ford Foundation shill, Barack Soetoro Obama, born God-knows-where, protege of the MIC, droner, black opser, secret Grand-Jurier, KILLER.
If you guys cop this, you’re toast. Wimps! the drones will come after you. the HLS will surround you. Your proxies did the OK Bombing, targetting little babies: when are you going to rise? Homos! Fags! Cry-Babies! Your country’s going down the tubes: WHERE ARE YA!??

This is for Larry; I just really want to tell you that as an American I appreciate all the things you have done for free speech for all of us. I don’t buy any porno mags but I do believe people have the right to read what they want and do what the choose. I alway thought you were and are one Heck of a cool guy and you really know how to stir the pot.
Your colorful and thats cool that you never gave in or gave up. GO LARRY!

You might consider it an erosion of civil liberties, but don’t you think it’s a necessary move considering the current state of the world?
