Duh...What's the NDAA...and what's quaint little Evanston got to do with it?

Someday, our grandchildren will rightfully ask us what did we do to stop this from happening. The first step is to muster the courage to wake up. The cowards among us will not fare well.

The following is an article about the National Defense Authorization Act...which was signed into law on New Year's Eve of 2011...not by Bush or Cheney,  but by Obama.

 Its sweeping powers have the capacity to undo habeus corpus and our precious right to due process.  The people who would have been up in arms against this kind of executive action have rolled over because it was signed into law by a Democrat...one who they seemingly hold above contempt...why?  I don't know.  Is it because he's a Democrat...because he's charming?...or because he's black?

To me, it doesn't matter who or what he is...the NDAA is a fascist piece of legislation and anyone willing to lie down and let it slide is either hopelessly ignorant, apathetic, or so naive as to render their politically correct leanings dangerously self destructive...indeed...nationally destructive.
