LOONEY TUNES...Goodbye Constitution...hello police state if they gain control of our gubment!  

Anderson Cooper Grills Shouting GOPer Louie Gohmert On 'Terror Babies' Conspiracy (VIDEO)

Oh, wow. Last night, Anderson Cooper hosted none other than Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX), the main propagator in Congress of the "terror babies" conspiracy theory -- an alleged diabolical 20- to 30-year plot by terrorists to have babies born in the United States, then taken abroad and trained as terrorists before eventually returning here as U.S. citizens (thanks to birthright citizenship) to commit heinous crimes.

Cooper brought Gohmert on last night, and began by asking him whether he had even called the FBI agent. And from there, it turned into a nice one-way shouting match -- that is, Gohmert yelling at Cooper repeatedly.

LTC,

The link didn't work for me. Can you please double check it?

I'm not at all surprised by the behavior. The GOP seems hellbent on scaring white voters this election.

[LTC]

It worked for me......sorry!   Try this:

I've got news for you LTC, we already live in a police state and it's growing fast.

Just a few examples...

* Indefinite detention at border crossings (my wife has personally experienced this).
* Illegal search and seizure at airport security.
* The explosion of traffic and "crime prevention" cameras.
* Airport body scanners.
* Face recognition software.
* Biometric ID's and RFID is exploding into everything from the products you buy right down to your credit cards.  They can track you any where.
* Redefinition of Miranda Rights.
* Proliferation of police checkpoints.
* The continued "militarization" of our police forces.
* Increased incidents of tasering and violence against nonviolent offenders.
* DHS releasing reports concerning right wing advocates, returning military veterans, Ron Paul supporters etc. as potential "domestic terrorists".
* Increased intervention by the FCC into both radio and the internet concerning content and access.  This is going to grow much worse in the near future.  Thought and free speech control.

I could go on and on LTC.  Wake up.  The police state is here.  We're being gradually desensitized to it's existence and the tactics.  Then like a foot-snare, they can spring it into full force upon a whim.

Yeah...those eight years of the wannabee dictator and dickie the draft dodger really opened the flood gates to the destruction of the Constitution..and the nutcases like gohmert and angle and palin and bachman want to carry it to the worst extremes possible!

I love how people run to the press with "unnamed sources". I wonder if Gohmert's unnamed FBI source was also on the Baylor swim team?

JR, that is so true. It goes beyond political affiliations, as much as ltc wants to paint it as only a problem by certain philosophies.

Here is a case in point that goes against the Hope and Change promised to the American people:

Obama closes curtain on transparency

President Obama has abolished the position in his White House dedicated to transparency and shunted those duties into the portfolio of a partisan ex-lobbyist who is openly antagonistic to the notion of disclosure by government and politicians.

Obama transferred "ethics czar" Norm Eisen to the Czech Republic to serve as U.S. ambassador.

I seem to remember many, many, many times NCVol andeven I saying during the wannabee dictator's and dickie the draft dodger's reign of error that your repubs should be afraid of what they were doing because those abuses of liberty will never go away and could very well be carried over by a democratic president... do nto recall ever getting any agreement from you idiots then...we only got your defense of those abuses...those abuses only became a problem when the commie, nazi, socialist, kenyan became president.....but then history began on 01-20-09.

[Sasquatch]

.....but then history began on 01-20-09.

I don't think anybody believes that. Conversely, history and apparently the future didn't change on 1-20-09 either. Although that was the basis of a presidential campaign, as I seem to recall.

[LTC]

Based on the rhetoric from rethuglacraps, there was no history before 01-20-09...and there HAS been change since that date....just not enough and too much of the abusive crap the wannabee dictator and dickie the draft dodger started has been carried forward....but we did warn you...of course with your head up your arses, you ignored the warnings.....

[Shimmy]

Hey I've got a great idea!!!   Let's turn health care over to the same people that are making us a police state!!  You guys with me??

[Sasquatch]

...and there HAS been change since that date....

Can't argue with that.

Unemployment percentage is up, deficit grows more and more each day, foreclosures at an all-time high, the swamp has been drained and all kinds of creatures have been discovered, the government controls the means of production in different industries, etc., etc., etc.

I must admit, the foreign press, especially the Brits, has been particularly hard on the change that Obama has brought to America:
