IS CONGRESS DECLARING WAR ON ISIS…OR ON YOU?

The measure allows the president to place troops anywhere he determines ISIS is operating

Passage of Senator Mitch McConnell’s authorization for war against ISIS will not only lead to perpetual US wars across the globe, it will also endanger our civil and economic liberties.

The measure allows the president to place troops anywhere he determines ISIS is operating. Therefore, it could be used to justify using military force against United States citizens on US territory. It may even be used to justify imposing martial law in America.

The President does not have to deploy the US military to turn America into a militarized police state, however. He can use his unlimited authority to expand programs that turn local police forces into adjuncts of the US military, and send them increasing amounts of military equipment. Using the threat of ISIS to justify increased police militarization will be enthusiastically supported by police unions, local officials, and, of course, politically-powerful defense contractors. The only opposition will come from citizens whose rights have been violated by a militarized police force that views the people as the enemy.

Or you can report that unemployment is at a LOW --- 4.9% but I'm sure you will not give credit where credit is due

I've just got one question for Congress, that's you Babs and Ben and Andy and the rest of you. When these depraved immoral cultists finally do conquer the U.S. do you actually believe they're not coming after you and your family too? How childish you are there in your make believe world of the politically correct and false goodwill. You are not only traitors for aiding an enemy of the U.S. but you are destroying the foundations this country was built upon.

The fantasy of "police militarization" created by the media makes me laugh.

If you believe that the true unemployment rate is only 4.9% that makes
you an absolute idiot.
