We're a nation of laws, and not men and women. So, you know -- and my -- that's a precedent I don't mind living with as president of the United States.--Barack Obama
This issue has been eating away at me a few days. The Obama has decreed that enemy combatants captured on the battlefield should be accorded the rights and privileges of the US Constitution. He has arranged trials for the mastermind of the worst terrorist attack on the US, with full protections of the US Constitution, for a terrorist and non-US Citizen.
Congressional Democrats ad Liberal pundits and bloggers (and some Conservative ones too) cried out over the provisions of the Patriot Act. The letters and keyboard strokes spewed into the Ethernet regarding the wire tapping of foreign phone calls to known terrorist suspects was so voluminous that I am sure the associated heat and anger generated contributed to global warming.
Yet last week with a stoke of a pen the President of the United States gave permission through an Executive Order to allow a foreign police force to operate with impunity on American soil. INTERPOL will be allowed to operate without regard to the provisions set forth in the United States Constitution. They will not be held accountable for their interrogations, their methods, their records and files.
The freedom of the individual was so important to the founders of this country that four of the first ten Amendments deal with your rights vis a vis the police and court system. It is no secret these protections hamper the police of the US, and on occasion cause the guilty to escape punishment. Most police agree it is better one guilty man go free than one innocent man end up in jail.
President Obama has taken those rights and freedoms away. There may be a good reason, but none I can think of. So far the President and his spokesperson have declined comment. Why? How can this administration give away your Rights, when they covet them for people who are not even Americans? Why?
I ask the question I posed a few days ago -- do you feel more or less freedom today?

Fuck Interpol. They're nothing but SEIU punks with shitty accents. They have no rights in Texas.
Well, that's what you get with the Obama's sh1tty respect for third world cultures. When's the ceremony for the Unconditional Surrender to Iran?
*lets out long disgusted sigh, looks up to heaven*
I been trying to get this through peoples' thick-ass heads for over a decade now: The OMFR lucky sperm club that runs this country through both parties, looks at terrorist ragheads and dope-pushing, throat-cutting illegals through the rose-colored glasses of multicultural globalism, and sees "world citizens". That is their treasonous, un-Constitutional mindset.
If we proceed along this course, they will get off Scot-free and be walking among U.S. plotting another damn terrorist attack!
Blue Team has always believed in "hugs for thugs".
Screw trains!
I want to use my CCW on planes!
The move is SOP for international organizations.
Jake Tapper gives a whole list of orgs that have been granted such immunities here.
"President Reagan bestowed these privileges to the African Development Bank, the International Boundary and Water Commission, United States and Mexico, and the World Tourism Organization, among others."
Read the whole thing. Tapper even quotes a Bushie on the move:
"To the extent that granting these immunities to INTERPOL furthers the efficacy or ease of information-sharing or joint action on an expedited basis to act on warrants
seems like a no brainer to me," the official says.
"Conservatives can't have it both ways," the official says. "You can't be complaining about the hypothetical abdication of US jurisdiction at the same time you're complaining the Obama administration is not being tough enough on national security."
Forgot to add: Happy New Year Hoose.

Erin is an oxygen thief. Then again so are most liberal wack jobs.

James,
She's a communist oxygen thief whose scored herself a post-it-note.
Actually, Jams and Dicky, I am fabulous, sexiful, and have magnificent breasts.
Thank you for your continued support.
sheesh.
Sorry for the typo, but looking at it, I sorta like "Jams." It's cute and fluffy!
I fail to see the value in the argument " it was done before, so lets do it again", Wrong is wrong and your rights and freedoms should not be abridged.
No one yet has explained why NTERPOL needs police powers within the US that are not granted (nor should they be) to the FBI, CIA or your local and state police.
I Zlzo have no faith in a news report that quotes an "unnamed official". This isn't waterfate, there is no reason to have an anonymous source.
An annamed official from the Clinton and Obama administrations told me the whole thing is a nefarious plat to undermine our rights,
So there.
I can't see how anyone of my generation can say they don't feel their freedom threatened..hell, we already know how much we have lost in just fifty years. And I feel for those fifty years from now...
Erin,
I've seen the photos sweetie. Drop some tonnage, then we'll talk about your problems with conservatives.
Did I mention that HB makes me proud cause he can talk to you without reaching for a stun gun?
Cute and fluffy? thanks but I think it's wishful thinking.

Honestly Erin, when I look at FDR and JFK, I think you guys can do a HELL of a lot better in 2012 & find someone who actually gives a fuck about the Constitution instead of using it for toilet paper.
I guess it's just me, but the crap Erin spewed makes no sense towards her supposed argument. Giving up control to Interpol (or any foreign law enforcement) and being weak on national security is the same fucking thing.
