Nevermind the Posse Comitatus Act that prohibits the government from using military troops for law enforcement, the Pentagon is set to deploy 20,000 troops on US soil to “help state and local officials respond to a nuclear terrorist attack or other domestic catastrophe,” according to Pentagon officials.

The Posse Comitatus Act is a United States federal law (18 U.S.C. § 1385) passed on June 16, 1878 after the end of Reconstruction. The Act prohibits most members of the federal uniformed services from exercising nominally state law enforcement, police, or peace officer powers that maintain “law and order” on non-federal property (states and their counties and municipal divisions) in the former Confederate states.

US troops should not be used for law enforcement. This is just another bit if information in a long string of executive orders and acts carried out by this government to prepare us for a police state. Oh sure now I sound like a crazy person, but I won’t seem so crazy when it’s actually happening. I’d rather seem crazy and be right, than be oblivious to it like most of America and just let it happen. Let them take our freedoms away, let them have control over us.

They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.
Benjamin Franklin

Just in time for 4th of July, here’s a new video from Jeff Childress - Blood Bought Liberty. It is a tribute to our troops. Whether or not you support the war, you should be supporting our troops. Some may even not agree with what they have to do, but they are selflessly putting their lives on the line for your safety and freedom.. Please watch the video below, and also rate it and favorite it on Youtube.

Please Digg and Stumble it as well. Help spread this video around the world so as we celebrate our nation’s independence this week, let’s not forget those that fight for it every day.
