Answering a question about his approach to combatting crime, John McCain suggested that military strategies currently employed by US troops in Iraq could be applied to high crime neighborhoods here in the US. McCain called them tactics "somewhat like we use in the military...You go into neighborhoods, you clamp down, you provide a secure environment for the people that live there, and you make sure that the known criminals are kept under control."I'd say this has the potential to be just as scary as anything Obama might be up to.

Being done in a city in Arkansas. 24-hour curfew. Crime IS down. So is LIVING.
A line from "1776" comes to mind. "Sit down, John! Sit down, John! For God's sake, John, sit down!"
He's not exactly John Adams, is he?
I guess it would be good to invest in companies that make razor-wire and those little post-gates that say "HALT."
Insane McCain keeps proving his moniker has a solid basis in reality. Oh yes, Johnny boy, let's institute marshall law in every city in America! What a brillant idea, why didn't we think of it before?
Probably because this is supposed to be a free country, well, it used to be anyway.
I speculated some time back that the US was honing its house-to-house engagements in Iraq so that it can become military war doctrine for future use against a rowdy citizenry.
It's all a matter of definition, isn't it? Known criminal...presumptive criminal...despised minority?
Defender, the reference to John Adams and 1776 is an apt one: after all, he said himself "I'm obnoxious and disliked." Like an extremist or something. ;-)

I forgot.

Isn't that sort of what the viet cong did to him? He must have liked it.
