    Sometimes you need thick skin on here, but this is a good site with great info. Some of the concerns started with this article http://www.armytimes.com/news/2008/0...eland_090708w/ I don't see this more then a Domestic Rapid Deployment test program for homeland security.

        Dont let em get to you GREAT Post legit discussion MOST here unfortunatly do not see the writing on the wall but you have many friends here that share your belief that things are not all Honky-Dory with the moves Big Brother is and has been making lately...

        Some people here love to just dismiss everything with the and call it "conspiracy" talk but history has shown what happens when you ignore the footsteps of the TOTALITARIAN-Tip-Toe and the steady creep of FACISM.

        The funniest is that the Gun Folks should be the MOST vigilant against Govt tyranny, they always cry about their precious 2A but DONT SEE THE THREAT to our other rights gimme a break they are the loones.

          Don't worry about it. There was nothing wrong with your post. Speak your mind, within forum rules of course.

            If the first post in this thread was a problem, it would have gone away.

            It's not good that people are giving the OP flack about this, though. He simply didn't understand what the term meant in these circumstances. Until a couple of days ago, neither did I.

              No. Idiots need to learn to not run around splashing gasoline all over the place. The link you posted has absolutely NOTHING to do with a declaration of martial law upon the land.
              You should be f'n ashamed of yourself for posting that garbage, out to remove it, and damned well ought to apologize to the membership of this forum for spreading that blatant crapola in the manner that you did.

                And there's no reason to unload on him like that. Yes, he may have jumped the gun, but he's learned from it, I'm sure.

                I'm not saying "don't point out to someone that they're wrong", but try not to flame them when you do, please.

                    I must say I learned allot from this thread. I learned about "Congressional Martial Law". It is basically when House Leaders force the vote on a bill in an expedient manner, regardless if they even have time to read it.

                    Normally they must allow a 24 hour review, but this maneuver
                    "suspends the normal procedures and safeguards and allows the House Leadership to operate in a more authoritarian fashion. It enables the Leadership to seek to ram a bill or conference report through before the Members have the opportunity to fully understand what they are voting on."

                    I made an error. I didn't intend to cause alarm. I never realize how much fear the words, "Martial Law" can cause, but from some of the replies in this thread it is very clear.
