Link: Some remarks from Gen. Wesley Clark...

Leftists swear it can't and won't happen, while the sheople blindly go about their social media lives, or watching the latest episodes of the Kardashians. They have no idea of what is happening in front of their very eyes.
Never have liked this man. Glad to know my instinct was right. Sad that my instinct never would have predicted this.
Well, the Constitution is a living breathing document, so who's to say that the First Amendment really protects speech or that the habeas corpus provision means that the person holding a prisoner actually has to bring the body of the accused to a court?
Actually, as with many things, there is a Civil War precedent. In the case of Ex Parte Merryman, a Federal Ciruit Court ordered that the Federal Executive branch bring Mr. Merryman to court and charge him. The arresting official refused, sending word that he did not work for the judicial branch. The Circuit Court judge was livid, and ordered the official to come to court himself. The executive branch official, when the US Marshal arrived at Fort McHenry, just tapped the muzzle of his cannon and said, "This is my habeas corpus" and told the judge to perform an unnatural act on himself.
For the record, I believe the good general is a bit out to lunch here.

With this kind of power my problem is with the government they could call anybody disloyal and put them away. I don't like obama or his policies could I be considered disloyal? Not just this administration but any of them.
Look at the Sedition laws under Woodie Wilson (far and away the worst Virginia President) during WW I.
Despicable.
I remember reading that Gen. Pershing was angry over the free speech infringements by the gov't back home while he was directing the war over there. I agree Clark sounds scary for liberty.
Believe it or not, I picked up the link from a board relating to the carrying of defensive arms. Also, believe it or not, he actually had some supporters. They were mostly LEOs, which, in itself, is also a bit scary to me...
He gets us into a war where we are not at threat and his favorite movie was one that praised the KKK.
So of course he became a liberal icon.

So all the conspiracy theories about concentration camps being built all across this country don't seem so wild and crazy now do they? 
Conspiracy theory, you say??So all the conspiracy theories about concentration camps being built all across this country don't seem so wild and crazy now do they?

Couple that, with this from General Clark,
and it does give one pause, and makes us wonder about what's really going on in this country.

The above makes me wonder enough to ask a simple question of those on the left.
Is this your vision of what America should be?

His idea about this isn't a "left" thing. I don't know a single person on the left that would support what he's suggesting. I'm not saying it's a "right" thing, either. I honestly don't know where the heck he's coming from. Sounds like somebody forgot to take some much-needed medication.
Truly scary.
However, I don't think anyone is completely immune, left, right, up or down. When people do not see things your way and one sees the others as a threat there is a real danger of falling into this mindset.
I agree completely with the echo chamber comment.

Whether it is left-statists or right-statists, they both seek to increase the increase in the state's power. The problems are two: 1) it frequently violates the Constitution and 2) it creates an apparatus that the other side of the spectrum can use against the original proposers of the new power.
As Jefferson said, "The natural progress of things is for liberty to yield, and government to gain ground."
