You are a lying son of bitch. Go play with truth don't matter.

liar

the liar is you. I hate you more than I do obama, and I thought he was the biggest liar in America, until you came here Now you hold that title.
Hell truth Matters more truthful than you.

Snopes, Hot Air, and Outside the Beltway all seem to interpret the order more or less as Conservative and I do, rather than as you do: snopes.com: National Defense Resources Preparedness
 
I am not especially disturbed by the Exec. Order in question.

Does anybody think we shouldn't have some contingency plans in place for such things as basic infrastructure?

Libs would LOATHE this E.O. if it had been from W. But I'd think it justifiable then. So, I kinda have to acknowledge it's no less justifiable under the incumbent.

Snopes? are you really going with snopes? Snopes is a pro obama group.

Like the NDAA wasn't going to effect American citizens.

That would be because I have a good understanding of basic English, common sense, and a knowledge of how government actually works. While BigFuckingMoron1775 only understands hatred for all things not in agreement with his viewpoint.

I have way too many real issues with Obama to be bothered by made up ones like this.

Not that I grant your characterization of Snopes, but surely you aren't suggesting that Hot Air, which reached a similar conclusion about the order (“National Defense Resources Preparedness” executive order: Power grab or mere update? « Hot Air) while also suggesting that Obama was arrogant and strange, is a pro-Obama group?

The only thing I have to say it the NDAA 2012 was not suppose to affect American citizens but it does, and as long as the president can deem anything an emergency the government has control over everything and that includes the private sector.

I will grant you if you like that the threat of declaring an emergency grants the president a very very small but nonzero level of control over the private sector. However, the president's non-emergency powers (eg, control over agencies with regulatory authority) are far more significant.
 
How come the GOP number on priority is to give tax cuts to billionaires? That's supposed to do "what" exactly?

As opposed to people that will bankrupt their energy businesses and walk away and live to bilk the government again. Or how about bailing out car companies so they run it into the ground again in the near future.
