National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007

I try to take things with a grain of salt.  I assume the path to tyranny and evil is by people meaning to do good.  Congress makes lots of rules thinking they’re helping someone (constituents or themselves).  However, now that I’m a regular reader of OpenCongress (this is a story in itself), I’ve noticed patterns.  The 109th “Do nothing” Congress threw everything into a complete imbalance of power.  They passed some hideous laws.  I don’t care if it’s Democrat, Republican, or Moonbat, the laws are just wrong.  HR 5122 and S 2507 authorized some dangerous things.  They also follow the trend of overturning centuries old laws and precedents.  This Act paves the way for martial law at any time as declared by the President.  Perhaps the current President won’t take advantage of it, but the future is up for grabs.   Add to this creeping sense of paranoia the Patriot Act and the proposed Assault Weapons Ban.

If we under a state of emergency, or invasion, wouldn’t you want a bunch of a citizens able to defend themselves?  Relying on the Feds worked so well for the citizens of New Orleans.  I’m sure the next domestic disaster won’t be much better.
