   A landmark Freedom of Information lawsuit by the Electronic Frontier Foundation last year forced federal authorities to reveal there are at least 63 active drone sites around the U.S.

   Hahaha, swell. Most people won’t care, because they think most domestic counter-terrorism is focused on Islam; in reality, the greatest bulk of incidents in the U.S. come from eco-terrorists, separatist militias, and hate groups, so that’s who DHS spends most of their time focusing on. Even then, I guess most people won’t care, since they didn’t seem terribly bothered that the president had a U.S. citizen executed without a trial.

   Sorry Matthew. Mark had your name in the post.

   See Redbarsoup unlike you, Mark and USA, I know I make mistakes and I LIVE UP to them.

   When it does comes to Florida liberal need to read all of the stories. The only time the court extended hours was for the polling station that had to close for 4 hours because of a possible bomb.
   Also polling stations (run by democratic clerks) were causing problems because they were opening late and closing early. (Republicans had nothing to do with that.) In democratic countries they were told by the republican government that if lines were over an hour line, they should offer absentee ballots to those waiting in line. Dade County (democratic clerk) didn’t want to do it because counting absentee ballots took longer of her staff.

   Obama Tweets from Church: `Let’s Go’

   It’s said that the Twitter messages actually thumbed by President Barack Obama @BarackObama are signed `BO.’

   The one this morning came from St. John’s, the church across Lafayette Park from the White House, where the first family went this morning on the chilly and overcast day of the public inauguration ceremonies:

   “I’m honored and grateful that we have a chance to finish what we started. Our work begins today. Let’s go. -bo”

   The president and his family arrived at St. John’s at 8:35 am EST.

   The service ended at 9:39.

   BO tweeted at 9:25.

   But yesterday when not in front of the crowds he used Hussien. Two faced liar! Is there anything he does that shows respect for the tradition of our country much less the constitution??

   Barack H. Obama drops Hussein from the presidential oath

   The Barack Hussein Obama of 2009 has been replaced in President Obama’s second inaugural celebration by “Barack H. Obama.”

   In taking the oath of office Monday morning before Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts, Mr. Obama abbreviated his birth name, giving only the initial “H.”

   Sen. Charles E. Schumer, chairman of the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies, also referred to the president as Barack H. Obama in his introductory remarks for the public swearing-in ceremony.

   Four years ago, the official inauguration schedule also referred to “Barack H. Obama,” but Mr. Obama used his full name in taking the oath of office.

   “I think the tradition is that they use all three names, and I will follow the tradition,” Mr. Obama told the Chicago Tribune in 2009. “I’m not trying to make a statement one way or another. I’ll do what everybody else does.”

    Reminder for 1/21/2013: Barack Obama has an authorized CIA ‘kill list,’ which includes (at least) one U.S. citizen, a U.S. citizen who was executed without his Constitutional right to due process

    But

    You know

    That whole “Barack H. Obama” instead of “Barack Hussein Obama” thing, that’s definitely

    an issue

    a big deal

    lets fire up the phony outrage machine and spend a couple hours fuming about s**t that doesn’t matter at all

    @ lets fire up the phony outrage machine and spend a couple hours fuming about s**t that doesn’t matter at all

    How about the fact that it is just more proof as to his “transparancy” and his sincerity. Sure it does not change world event but it speaks volumns about him as a politician trying to fram a legacy and that legacy will not include the middle name “hussein” because it does not poll well!!!

    “hussein” because it does not poll well!!!

    It’s because of idiots like you that thinks just because he has that name that he’s a Muslim…. Not his fault that there is literally people out there that think he’s a Muslim because his middle name is Hussein.

    When you don’t want people talking about the important stuff, like unemployment, Benghazi and alike…you give them a bunch of stupid little stuff to talk about so that they appear stupid and picky. So the prez tossed out his middle name and tweetied from church. Big deal, pay attenion to the big stuff.

    Coffee Steve, That was a nice Dr. King jr. quote but he had a lot of great speeches. He was speaking from his heart.

    Raz, Speaking of Benghazi. Hillary looked fine today.

    Rats,

    While Tiffany deserved a few tears, rats as a whole do not , for they carry diseases ,plus, they will eat almost anything, including the dead of their species, or even their own kids!

    ———————

    If one really want to talk about “important stuff,” the first thing on the list should be the safety of the USA & its people.

    Currently eight countries besides the U.S. could unleash a nuclear EMP assault.

    North Korea now has an Assured Destruction capability against the United States developed with the help of Russia.

    The Congressional EMP Commission estimates that, given the nation’s current unpreparedness, within one year of an EMP attack, two-thirds of the U.S. population — 200 million Americans — would probably perish from starvation, disease and societal collapse. Dr. William Graham was the chairman of that commission, and he says that an EMP attack could knock the United States back into the 1800s in just a single moment…

    I would like to see SHIELD Act (HR 668) reintroduced for protecting the electric grid from EMP . This bill failed to be passed during the two-year Congress in which it was introduced.

    Unfortunately, defending against an EMP would be costly. You’d need lots of spare parts and low-tech backup systems, plus shielding of key elements. It’s doable, but even the U.S. military hasn’t made much progress.

    There are videos & links available on EMP. This link is easy to follow.
