I wasn't going to comment on this thread but in the thread about membership drive you mentioned this in passing
"This NDAA thing is something that I consider to be a nation ending problem. I differ with Tom and Jnevis on it because they read the law while I read the nature of people who would interpret/enforce it. "
That right there is the whole point of my disagreement with you on the subject.
Those people you mention are legalistic a holes, if there is a way to twist something they will, look at what they have used the "commerce clause" to justify, however the NDAA says "This doesn't apply to citizens or legal aliens" there is no wiggle room.
I'm not saying they won't, or haven't, done that rotten sh!t, I'm saying that they can't use NDAA to make it legal like Hitler did with the "Enabling act".
That is something to keep in mind, everything the Nazi's did was perfectly legal under German law.
The authority to gas Jews started as an abortion law, it was expanded to cover euthanasia of the handicapped, and non productive members of society.
