Thanx for the info FS

And Heeeeeeaaaaaaarrrrrrssssss Ostalin!!!

So what weight does this bill carry when we were already not protected in the ndaa? So this bill says if they don't like you then they will revoke your citizenship...? Is that correct?

Does this apply to members on La Raza, who argue that the Southwest of America should
be given to Mexico.
I don't think so.
One thing is for certain no laws broken by ''people of color'' will be prosecutable by this
present Dept. of Justice.
Count on it.

engaging in a conspiracy to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them

So this means Congress, SCOTUS and the Executive branch are all expatriots now, and by extension may not hold public office? Woo Hoo!!!

...what?....oh...I guess that isn't going to happen

OFRSS: That's pretty much how I understood it. I'm not 100% on this, but I think we're pretty well screwed.

To be honest if we are screwed, it’s because we made up our minds to let ourselves be screwed. We let them divide us, turn us against each other, reward people for turning in others and just sat on our butts watching it occur.
If you want to be unscrewed, then do what is right, hold to your line and don’t play their game.

Whew, for a moment there you had me worried. I am 100% dedicated to the Constitution of the United States and will fight to the death to sustain it. Wait... what did that thing say?

Notice it says nothing about the Constitution, it says against the "Government of the United States", or against the "United States".
