We have seen how politically correct speech, lawsuits by HUD, threats from BATF, and individual lawsuits have been used to erode our right to free speech.
We have seen how the right to defend ourselves is being outlawed.
We have seen how owning guns is being outlawed.
We have seen how ownership of property is no longer guaranteed.
We have seen the use of international treaties (part of Alaska given back to Russia, the push for U.N. control of America, control of our Federal Parks turned over to UNESCO, etc) to usurp our constitution and the push for more control was getting greater. (I haven?t heard about this since President Clinton left office.)
All of the above are standard actions that Communist, Fascist, and similar regimes have used to take control of nations. They are all major erosions of the Constitution of the United States of America.
Now, it is claimed that President Bush should have sent in the troops in to maintain order of New Orleans. I have assumed it was rhetoric. However, since it was being stated prior to getting permission to enter there may be more nefarious motives.
Invading New Orleans, entering without permission, would be an criminal and impeachable offense so perhaps the President was being goaded in order to be impeached. After all dubya is stupid, right?
After a bit of reflection and thinkg about the erosions mentioned earlier, perhaps the purpose is to get support for the elimination of the Posse Comitatus
If done this would allow less scrupulous Presidents to invade states under ?emergency? conditions, how ever contrived, with the intent to harass, forcibly evict citizens from their property, or even to murder them. Again, this describes the actions of Communist, Fascists, and similar regimes once they have taken control.
Hopefully, most of America will wake up sooner rather than later.
One example of such use by unscrupulous Governments can be seen by the incident in Waco in 1993. The BATF may have had jurisdiction based on the suggestion of weapons but it was the DOJ that led the charge.
Then, <shudder> I find this document created in October of 2000, seven years later, by a lawyer named Trebilcock.
The Myth of Posse Comitatus
His opening paragraph:
Wow, simply wow. I am hoping that the restraint shown by President Bush will help to reinforce this act. It is clear that President Clinton was willing to ignore it. Think what might happen with another like President Clinton if President Bush had actually sent troops into Louisiana. Such a President could easily point to such precedence by Bill Clinton and George Bush and use it to stop "dissenters." Say, people celebrating gay pride or gun rights, depending on which group they wanted to eliminate.
FYI: I?m not saying that Trebilcock wrote his dissertation for or at the insistence of his Commander in Chief nor was such a tie researched.

The Myth of Posse Comitatus
His opening paragraph:
The Posse Comitatus Act has traditionally been viewed as a major barrier to the use of U.S. military forces in planning for homeland defense. [1] In fact, many in uniform believe that the act precludes the use of U.S. military assets in domestic security operations in any but the most extraordinary situations. As is often the case, reality bears little resemblance to the myth for homeland defense planners. Through a gradual erosion of the act?s prohibitions over the past 20 years, posse comitatus today is more of a procedural formality than an actual impediment to the use of U.S. military forces in homeland defense.
