The Defense Authorization Act or H.R. 1540, aka The Forever War Act of 2012, was overwhelmingly approved by the House of Representatives earlier today on a vote of 322 to 96.
The Senate will now vote on its own version and then the two bills will need to be reconciled before going to Barry Obama for his signature into law.
The law authorizes the United States to use military force anywhere it says there are terrorists, including within the borders of our own country. It represents the largest hand-over of unchecked war authority from Congress to the executive branch in modern American history.
The founders were seriously opposed to handing this much power over to executive, fearing tyranny. If enacted into law, this provision will make Obama a dictator who can wage war without the consent of the American people.

I can guarantee you that between the statements of you, Stone Boofer and Erica and, occasionaly, pegler...no one with a minimal sense of intelligence so wonders.

Really?
I don't aspire to take away the rights of others, in the name of "equality." I don't push the police-state agenda. I DO push the rights of the individual to be left alone, and have the right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. I push the right to privacy, and the right to be free of government corruption. I don't advance the agenda of over-arching control by a nanny-state (socialist) government. I support the original Constitution, in its entirety (NOT the bullshit "interpretations" provided by a corrupt SCOTUS.
YOU, on the other hand, are a traitor. You promote the destruction of everything that this nation was founded upon, and what made it great. You and your ilk support a marxist traitor who sits in the White House. He makes an ass of himself, he's corrupt and vile... And you gladly kiss his ass...
Those who hold their bibles and guns tight, understand what you and all like you, are doing... And Soetero knows that the population is awake. That's the reason for the police-state tactics... to try to cow the population into submission.
But I have news for you: It won't work.
You have no idea how badly you've underestimated America- REAL America.
But hey, just keep going the way you're going... and you'll be introduced to reality, in a most unpleasant fashion.
Oh, and BTW, I know you were trying to use a combination of the following Rules of Disinformation:
17. Change the subject. Usually in connection with one of the other ploys listed here, find a way to side-track the discussion with abrasive or controversial comments in hopes of turning attention to a new, more manageable topic. This works especially well with companions who can argue with you over the new topic and polarize the discussion arena in order to avoid discussing more key issues.
18. Emotionalize, Antagonize, and Goad Opponents. If you cant do anything else, chide and taunt your opponents and draw them into emotional responses which will tend to make them look foolish and overly motivated, and generally render their material somewhat less coherent. Not only will you avoid discussing the issues in the first instance, but even if their emotional response addresses the issue, you can further avoid the issues by then focusing on how sensitive they are to criticism.
You're so transparent, you're actually funny to watch, as you wildly gyrate through the various rules, trying to find something that'll stick...
