These
words were shared publicly by me, Jan 20, 2012 via my Google Plus
profile. Deleted the share and am republishing it via my blog
because we just went through the 2016 election and now have a new
President Elect. This is not about Trump. It's about Obama (who
will soon be history) and about a book. Publishing the content here
as it may be relevant to the “present distress” in America.

I know I'm quoting scripture but my statement is political. Read the
entire post and you will clearly understand the application. I ain't
preaching. I'M SCREAMING!!]
Acts
16: 37-38 ~ But
Paul said unto them, They have beaten us openly uncondemned, being
Romans, and have cast us into prison; and now do they thrust us out
privily?nay verily; but let them come themselves and fetch us out.
And the serjeants told these words unto the magistrates: and they
feared, when they heard that they were Romans. …
Acts
25: 11-12 ~ For
if I be an offender, or have committed any thing worthy of death, I
refuse not to die: but if there be none of these things whereof these
accuse me, no man may deliver me unto them. I appeal unto Caesar.
Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council,answered, Hast
thou appealed unto Caesar? unto Caesar shalt thou go.

I’m not really a devoted fan of cable TV. But the remote control
does make it very easy for me to fall asleep. The news channels in
particular are excellent for insomnia. So I was flipping the channels
and came across a program called “The Young Turks”. I paused for a few minutes to
listen to the discussion with the ACLU representative who also wrote
a book called “Taking Liberties”. Evidently Obama signed a bill
that obliterates the liberty of every American citizen – those in
the USA and those who are abroad. (That’s what I heard!)
*
yadda yadda ... blah blah ... Something or other about citizens suspected as terrorists being
arrested and detained indefinitely. Of course, to his credit, the
current POTUS said he would never do that. (Uh huh. Well that’s
comforting.)
*
So here’s the situation: Whether or not the current President
chooses to enforce NDAA (??? not sure about the alphabets), it can be
enforced.
*
UM … THAT’S CRAP!!!

If you agree or disagree, you better take the liberty to say so.
Because IF ENFORCED and you get arrested and detained indefinitely as a suspected terrorist, unlike the
Apostle Paul, you probably won’t be able to appeal to anybody cause
WON’T NOBODY KNOW WHERE YOU AT!!
For the record: I’m not a card-carrying member of the ACLU. That’s
Bruce Willis. (joking)
{The
link is to the book “Taking Liberties”. In the interest of
disclosure, I’m an Amazon Associate, so if you purchase the book
via this link I earn income. But whether you buy the book or not, the
NDAA IS STILL CRAP!!!}
