Crux

Much of this depends upon just how much people give a shit.

Romney exposed!

A good liberal will vote Republican when that's the best option. That's why I'm going to vote for Obama.

Let's see, $3.5 billion a year under Obama is unacceptable, but $100 billion a year under Bush was OK. Got it.

The NDDA, as it is the military appropriations bill, must be renewed no less frequently than every two years (Article I, Section 8, clause 12). Thus, I think the NDDA expires in the middle of the next presidential term, in 2014. If Ron Paul were president, he could then veto the next iteration of the NDDA, which would end the military spending unless that veto were overruled by a two thirds majority in both the House and the Senate. At this point, the president might impede spending activity and military adventures through his position as Commander in Chief, and by related executive authority. However, with an overwhelming majority in Congress already demonstrated to be against him, subsequent impeachment and removal from office might occur in less time than it takes a drunken Republican to sing Bomb Bomb Bomb, Bomb Bomb Iran. So yes, even if Ron Paul were President and wanted to follow through on his campaign rhetoric, doing so would ultimately be up to Congress -- a position very much like the one that the current President often finds himself in, not being able to do what he wants to do, according to his advocates.

But Ron Paul isn't government. Ron Paul is a warm, fuzzy, wonderful person who just wants everything nice. Why do you think dead is not nice? Are you afraid of dead? Maybe you just need therapy for your reptilian limbic system, so you won't be so reactively stupid all the time. Now, have you any other questions? What? WHAT? You want to know why I've got a big rotting dick hanging out of my ass? WTF! LET ME TELL YOU WHAT MOFO, I WON'T VOTE! OK, OK, GOD FUCKING DAMMIT -- I'LL PAY MY TAXES!!! OK!! BUT AT LEAST I GOT MY PRIDE YOU PSYCHOPATHIC SHIT-BALL CRETIN!!!!!! SO FUCK OFFFFF!

The video you posted presents a convincing argument that people like you are pathologically retarded on the topic of government and related issues. Evidently, that point was lost on you. But at once you deserve congratulations for having proven your idiocy here with remarkable brevity -- and with a clarity you are not likely to surpass anytime soon.

By NEIL KING JR. and SCOTT GREENBERG for the WSJ –WASHINGTON— Less than a quarter of Americans support making significant cuts to Social Security or Medicare to tackle the country’s mounting deficit, according to a new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll, illustrating the challenge facing lawmakers who want voter buy-in to alter entitlement programs.

Extremist government employee is astounded

That is bullshit though. Anyone in America, U.S. citizen or not, gets due process and detention and accusations should be held to a stricter standard. You are correct. From my updated view of several legal and political evaluations of the so-called Indefinite Detention Bill, (which is an apparent misnomer for Sections 1031 and 1032 of the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act) it doesn't change anything. First, much of what people fear to be in the "bill" are things that would be trumped by the Constitution's due process provisions, as you assert. Second, wording added (maybe at the eleventh hour) to Section 1032 clarify that indefinite detention does not apply to American citizens nor to aliens who hold a green card, nor does it allow military intervention on domestic soil. Differences of opinion on this can be and are now being resolved by competent legal interpretation of Sections 1031 and 1032 of the NDDA sent today to Obama for signing; such resolution will naturally be lost on the willfully misinformed, but there's nothing new in that either. Now, from a political perspective, credible assessors of the bill can rationally differ in their comparative approval -- or disapproval -- of the bill, which includes said Sections 1031 and 1032. To the point here, the bill (2012 NDAA) does nothing to negate provisions of the Patriot Act and subsequent, related court decisions. But neither does the bill advance an agenda of depriving Americans of their rights. Regardless, the fearful hysteria spewed from both the Left and the Right today in reaction to the bill is likely to continue for some time, albeit slowing to a dribble from the lips of the willfully misinformed. Meanwhile, the main purpose of the bill, which is a matter of meeting the unique Constitutional requirement that military spending be re-authorized by law every two years, may continue to be obscured by the various riders attached as well as the fearful reaction by concerned citizens who would presently dub the bill the "Indefinite Detentions Bill" rather than thinking, "Hey, shit! There goes another $1 trillion a year to the military industrial complex! Hey shit! Why not just fuck me in the ass with the goddamn business end of a toilet plunger?!" Myself, I've slept on it, what is set and settled in Sections 1031 and 1032, as well as the hundreds (thousands?) of pages of actual military spending provisions. And now, naturally, I awaken to the feeling of a forcibly dilated asshole. For the politics of the NDAA, that's all I have to say now. And for whatever it was I said this morning about Obama's mama, I hope nobody passed it on. If you did, please add that he's always had my vote. My cents. Time for the ride to work now.

The Indefinite Detention Bill DOES Apply to American Citizens on U.S. Soil

Bone, you are so full of crap. That wasn't Obama speaking in the video. It was Newt Gingrich, wearing the dried panty choad costume that he scraped off the big rotting ass of Obama's mama. Get your fucking facts straight, umkay? Now, before I before I become uncivil in my demeanor, can we get back to talking about how the Republicons don't have any decent candidates running for the presidency?
