Logically challenged RINO Sen. John McCain fails to understand the rights of American citizens.

Republicans can blame no one but themselves for helping get Barack Hussein Obama elected. Twice. I'm not going to rehash Mitt Romney's conscientious objector attitude wherein he failed to unseat Obama because he was afraid to fight him. Obama's first challenger, Arizona Senator John McCain, only won his primary battles against some real Republicans with the help of Obama's loyal news media brigade. Then McCain went on to show just how bad the country club mentality in the Senate could be when he proclaimed to a campaign audience that Obama was a good person and he would never say anything bad about a fellow member of the Senate. Such is the admiration held by RINOs, Republicans In Name Only, for Democrats that you can hardly tell them apart. So it becomes very obvious when a RINO like McCain talks about a real Republican like Kentucky Senator Rand Paul with so much disgust that you can't believe they both sit on the same side of the Senate chamber. And when the subject turns to the growing threat of a tyrannical government turning against its own citizens, it shows just how much a RINO like John McCain is incapable of thinking about the consequences of his own actions.

We have all seen at one time or another simple puzzles that test logic. The kind that ask: "What is the next number in this sequence, 2, 4, 6, 8, _"? Or, "Fill in the missing number, 5, 10, 15, _,  25"? If you don't understand these tests the answers are, 10 for the first one and 20 for the second one. But when RINO Senator McCain attacks Republican Senator Paul saying, “No one is going to be struck by a Hellfire missile from a drone that is not an enemy combatant,” McCain said. “That is a fact.” - McCain seems oblivious to the facts that have led up to the assertion that any American could be attacked and killed on U.S. soil by their own government for no other reason than that same government had declared that citizen to be an enemy of the government. Even though McCain voted to approve of a chain of events that have brought us to that point. So now we need to test our logic and see what the next number is in the sequence.

There are lots of conspiracy theories regarding the Muslim hijacking of four airliners on September 11, 2001 and the attacks that followed. I don't believe those theories. But one fact was revealed in the subsequent Congressional hearings cannot be ignored. Those 19 radical Islamic terrorists attended flight schools in the United States to learn how to operate Boeing 767 aircraft and were not employed by any airline and the government was aware of it and did nothing about it.

Three years before the 9-11 Congressional hearings concluded in August 2004, there was an immediate reaction to those attacks in Congress and that was the hastily drawn up Patriot Act that was written, passed and signed into law only 7 weeks after Sept. 11, 2001. Back then, with the Republican controlled Congress everyone knew who the terrorists were so no thought was given to the vague language that seemed to include every citizen as possible subjects of suspicion. The Patriot Act gave the government increased powers of surveillance over every American. With the intent to locate, observe and identify radical terrorists like the Muslim group that carried out the 9-11 attacks, the consequences of the Patriot Act greatly weakened key parts of the Bill of Rights that guaranteed protections for all Americans. Senator John McCain gave it his support.

*** Federal and State law enforcement on fishing expeditions, searching telephone, email, medical, financial, and other records looking for a needle in a haystack – and abridging the freedom of law abiding citizens everywhere.

*** Warrantless searches and roving wiretaps, paying telephone providers for access to TRILLIONS of phone records and ignoring Fourth Amendment protections.

*** Broad powers for the Treasury Department and Immigrations Department to rewrite regulations, access records, and conduct proceedings in secret.

*** Holding American citizens in violation of their constitutional rights simply because someone in the government has declared them an “enemy combatant.”

*** Vast amounts of electronic data on virtually every American swept up by insider arrangements and purchases from phone companies, airlines and other businesses afraid to say no to a government “request.”

Then in the last 4 year term of George W. Bush, while Americans slept away content that they were safe and secure, the leftist mainstream news media begun a non-stop campaign to bash the Republicans in an effort to turn control of Congress over to the Democrats in the next elections. In 2006 they succeeded and the Democrats plans to destroy our economy with the housing and banking changes were passed. Senator John McCain gave it his support.

In the guise of fighting terrorism the government began to direct its attention to what appeared to be everyone but the terrorists who were behind the 9-11 attacks. In fact under the direction of Barack Hussein Obama, the words Terrorism, Muslim and Islam were stricken from the instructions issued by the Dept. of Justice to the F.B.I. Then in 2009, one year after Barack Hussein Obama and the Democratic Socialists of America took control of our government, the Dept. of Homeland Security issued a controversial document: (U//FOUO) Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment. It is available here: http://www.fas.org/irp/eprint/rightwing.pdf  and the government finally identified who it considered to be the real threat to America, conservatives who supported the 2nd Amendment, Pro-Life groups and third party candidate supporters. And Senator John McCain gave his support.

On December 16, 2009, Barack Hussein Obama began his attack on U.S. sovereignty when he issued Executive Order 13524 (click to read full text below from the Federal Register). That Executive Order removed all restrictions previously in force and now gave Interpol complete immunity against U.S. citizens and U.S. law enforcement on U.S. soil. What this means is that Interpol now has greater authority over Americans within our own country than our own police agencies. The loss of U.S. Sovereignty means that with the removal of previous restrictions enacted by President Reagan with his Executive Order 12425 issued in 1983, Interpol now has diplomatic immunity and is not restrained by the power of the Bill of Rights or the United States Constitution.

Then, at the insistence of Barack Hussein Obama, the National Defense Authorization Act of 2011 included new authorities to the government to arrest and detain without trial or legal counsel any American that the government felt was a threat. And those provisions were reauthorized in the NDAA the following year. And Senator John McCain gave it his support. In 2011 RINO Speaker John Boehner and RINO Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell collaborated with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid in a backroom pact to extend the so-called "Patriot" Act. And Senator John McCain gave it his support.

Waiting a few years till the ripples of discontent had subsided and citizens memories faded we then have another bill, S.1867 which passed in the Senate in 2011. The National Defense Authorization Act bill contains the following section. SEC. 1031. AFFIRMATION OF AUTHORITY OF THE ARMED FORCES OF THE UNITED STATES TO DETAIN COVERED PERSONS PURSUANT TO THE AUTHORIZATION FOR USE OF MILITARY FORCE. None other than the ACLU has described this as: "The worldwide indefinite detention without charge or trial provision is in S. 1867, the National Defense Authorization Act bill. The bill was drafted in secret by Sens. Carl Levin (D-Mich.) and John McCain (R-Ariz.) and passed in a closed-door committee meeting, without even a single hearing." Meanwhile, news circulated among conservative bloggers, spurred on by the U.S. Army posting job bulletins for Internment Specialists, that FEMA had constructed several Internment Camps on U.S. soil. 

Then the explosive news came out that the government was going to operate Predator Drones in the skies over American soil. And coincidentally, at the same time some flag-ranked military Generals had been forced into retirement because they would not agree with the White House to follow orders to shoot at and kill American citizens on U.S. soil. It doesn't take a whole lot of intelligence to see the gradual progression of tototalitarian authority being acquired by the government and the gradual loss of freedoms being taken away from the citizens. RINO John McCain should at least acknowledge this as fact since he played such a part in all of it.

Now the icing on the cake appears to be the revelation in the past few days that this same Democrat who occupies the White House, who was himself a Muslim, mentored by a Communist and was close friends with known domestic terrorists Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn, has sought out and obtained his authority from the Justice Dept. to kill Americans on U.S. soil without benefit of due process or trial. While masking his intent to kill those who plot terrorism, the very definition they use for terrorist includes those conservatives who oppose him. This same Democrat, who has declared the elected members of Congress to be a hindrance to his plans and has decided that he also has the authority to create his own laws by Executive Order, is, by every known dictionary description, a dictator.

And one Republican, Kentucky Senator Rand Paul, stood up in the Senate and filibustered for 13 hours to force the Attorney General to clarify the vaguely worded letter he received from Attorney General Eric Holder on March 4th. And for his efforts he is attacked by a senior RINO Senator named John McCain.

And finally Republican Senator Rand Paul received the acknowledgement he had demanded from The Attorney General that Barack Hussein Obama has no authority to use drones to kill Americans on U.S. soil. While this clarifies that Barack Hussein Obama has no authority to use drones to kill Americans on U.S. soil it does not remove the previous authority for the government to attack American citizens, arrest them and detain them without trial.

Seems to me that RINO Senator John McCain has a great lapse of memory besides his failings to see how gradually the rights of American citizens have been destroyed by his own actions and those of his like-minded Democrat friends.
