John McCain's attack on liberty

By Chuck Baldwin

Anyone paying attention knows that John McCain has been a Big-Government Globalist Neocon (BGGN) for virtually his entire senatorial career. As with many BGGNs hiding out in the Republican Party, McCain likes to talk about smaller government, but his track record is littered with the promotion of one big government program after another. But, what else would one expect from a member of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR)?

Lately, however, McCain has outdone himself. He has introduced two bills in the US Senate that are about as Machiavellian as they could be. I am referring to S.3081, a bill that would authorize the federal government to detain American citizens indefinitely without trial, and S.3002, a bill that would authorize the federal government to regulate vitamins, minerals, and virtually all health and natural food products.

According to Examiner.com, "Last week, John McCain introduced a bill into the U.S. Senate which, if passed, would actually allow U.S. citizens to be arrested and detained indefinitely, all without Miranda rights or ever being charged with a crime."

The Examiner report continued by saying "This bill, introduced by McCain, who despite overwhelming evidence, claims to be a 'conservative,' would not only take away our right to a trial, but would also allow the federal government to arrest and imprison anyone the current administration deems hostile.

"Of course, that would be the same administration whose Homeland Security Secretary has classified veterans, retired law enforcement, Ron Paul [and Chuck Baldwin] supporters, and conservatives as 'terrorists.'"

The Examiner report concluded by saying "If it was not clear before, it should be now that John McCain has as little respect for the Constitution as he does for our borders."

Amen!

If Juan McCain gets his way, your constitutional right to a speedy trial by jury is gone, as well as your constitutional right to Habeas Corpus. But, of course, they would attempt to justify this by claiming it is being done in the name of national security and the war on terrorism.

I don't know why anyone would be surprised The republicans have always thought of there self as a new royalty . An elite class above the people a higher class of people .
The truth is even if they passed those laws it wouldn't mean much . THEY DON'T ENFORCE THE LAWS THEY ALREADY HAVE ON THE BOOKS . THEY BUILT ALL THESE PRISONS AND NOW THEY HAVE TO RELEASE THE PRISONERS BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT TO PAY THERE TAXES , THEY JUST TALK A GAME . WE HAVE WAY TO MANY UNENFORCED LAWS ALREADY . Where I live here in mo. The cops brag about they got rid of our rights here . I don't know for sure but I suspect they have torn them up and do not enforce them in court here .but like every where else they only enforce the laws they want to .
