Bill Gives Attorney General Power To Designate Gun Owners, Tax Protesters As Terrorists

Image...
In light of the Patriot Act's powers to forcibly rendition people out of the country and deny them habeas corpus rights to a trial, this bill allows the Attorney General to declare Americans who protest the government as terrorists and lock them away with no rights and no trial.

In my opinion, this is the most disturbing piece of legislation ever created.

Infowars reports:


Amendments to the 2010 National Defense Authorization Act, which has already been passed by the House, would empower the Attorney General Eric Holder to define gun owners, anti-abortion activists and tax protesters as domestic terrorists in light of recent federal reports that classify millions of Americans as “extremists”.
...
The evidence required to show that such an organization is affiliated with a violent hate group includes people possessing tattoos identifying them with the group, individuals who attend conferences or rallies sponsored by a “hate group,” people who engage in online discussion forums of an “extremist” nature, people who possess documents, books or photographs or simply “related materials as defined by the Attorney General” that represent “hate propaganda.”
...
The bill’s definition of “people associated or affiliated with hate groups” include, “Groups or organizations that espouse an intention or expectation of armed revolutionary activity against the United States Government,” or “Other groups or organizations that are determined by the Attorney General to be of a violent, extremist nature.”

    Yeah, we fucked.

    WTF!!!
    If ya got a tatto..potential terrorist?!

    The most powerful 'arms' any person poses is sharing ideas that revolutionize life. To be 'disarmed' in this context, is to be ...?

    No clear definitions or context... the Attorney General will decide? These are actual guidelines for our own legal authorities?!!!

    Wasn't that how the inquisition began?
    Children, if ya own a gun and get a tat 'we' will be watching you...(1984 or 1933?)

    Yes, nephwrack- the Patriot Act was the brainchild of the Bush administration, nor did he attempt to introduce Marxism and obliterate peoples personal freedoms. Obama is taking a dump all over the US Constitution. Obama wants to ban the 2nd amendment, and make owning ANY gun a crime- which means hunting will be outlawed. Which means those crappy overpriced cookie cutter subdivisions will be overrun with wildlife. Which means that criminals will have free reign. The cities and states with the highest murder rates also have the most restrictive gun laws. (DC being an excellent example- so restrictive they were in violation of the US Constitution (in the Heller case). The cities and states with the least restrictive gun laws also have the lowest crime rates (Wyoming, Montana, etc.) You want socialism? You want Marxism? You want fascism? You've got all three coming at you soon- Obama won't rest until he guts and obliterates the 1st and 2nd amendments- right to gun ownership (read the founding fathers statements on this) right to free speech, and the right to assembly. You had better believe this right will be one of the first ones to go. The US Government wants a revolution, they're going to get it! It happened once before, in 1776, but this time, the revolution will be against our own government!!

    I can understand why gun owners or anti abortion activist can be labeled under terrorist, but not tax protesters.

    If you have 15 Ak-47, grenades, and an RPG, AND you believe the govt is going to wage war on its citizens, then it understandable the govt MAYconsider you a terrorist. i doubt the govt is looking at handgun owners.

    Or if you go to rallies the claim all abortion doctors should be killed and abortion clinics blown up, you have a tattoo of the Dr. Tiller murderer, and a detailed schematic of the closet abortion clinic...then I understand why the govt MAY consider you a terrorist.

    The only truly disturbing thing hear is tax protester. Anyone that has studied the issue knows they have a legitimate argument and it seems the govt wants to stifle this.

    This is good news. The right wing fringe is the greatest terrorist threat we face.

    I have no sympathy for some gun /tax/ ron paul / nut with racist tattoos receiving some special attention. They deserve it.

    Any free thinking individual who's interests are freedom, democracy, and speak up against those who jeopardize those interests are terrorist. Welcome to the list. Yes! That means you on current.

    Such a sad day when people who disagree with the status quo are labelled "terrorists."

    If this be true, I'll gladly call myself a "terrorist," since I am so according to the Attorney Fuhrer.

    This is terrible news for the free thinkers in America.

    This officially makes America a Police State.

    Barack Obama, and Eric Holder, is this the "Change" that that you preached about that won my vote for you ? If so, I am so sorry for the terrible mistake that I made, and I'm so disappointed in the both of you.Or did it really even matter who the next president was going to be ? Probably not. Political leaders that are voted into office by "We The People" no longer serve the people.
    They tell us what we can and cannot do.The International Bankers that control Wall Street and Washington D.C. run this entire planet,especially Washington D.C.

    The 1st Amendment now comes with a heavy price.
    The loss of freedom and civil liberties.
