Sean Penn an American patriot

Ah just a point of order about the National Guard, it is a dual agency sometimes federal sometimes state.

The US Military cannot act in any Law Enforcement capacity due to Posse Comitatus

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 (the Army, Air Force, and State National Guard forces when such are called into federal service) from exercising nominally state law enforcement police or peace officer powers that maintain "law and order" on non-federal property (states, their counties and municipal divisions) in the former Confederate states.

The statute generally prohibits federal military personnel and units of the United States National Guard under federal authority from acting in a law enforcement capacity within the United States, except where expressly authorized by the Constitution or Congress.

I know that it is common knowledge around here that the National Guard confiscated weapons after Katrina, but could you post a story or link from a reputable source backing this up.
 
Sean Penn is a lunatic socialist, an America hater, a Chavez, Castro and Ahmedinajad arse-kisser and a small dick wife beater.
Claiming he is a "great American" speaks volumes about the mental condition of the people who are admiring him.


Katrina Victim's: Sean Penn To The Rescue - Well, Almost!


Sean "John Wayne" Penn, infamous actor turned want-a-be journalist/political activist/hurricane rescuer badly muffed his "appearance" as a Katrina rescuer when he forgot to put the plug in the bottom of the boat he was "piloting" - it sank!

EFFORTS by Hollywood actor Sean Penn to aid New Orleans victims stranded by Hurricane Katrina foundered badly overnight, when the boat he was piloting to launch a rescue attempt sprang a leak.

Mr Penn had planned to rescue children waylaid by Katrina's flood waters, but apparently forgot to plug a hole in the bottom of the vessel, which began taking water within seconds of its launch.
The actor, known for his political activism, was seen wearing what appeared to be a white flak jacket and frantically bailing water out of the sinking vessel with a red plastic cup.

When the boat's motor failed to start, those aboard were forced to use paddles to propel themselves down the flooded New Orleans street.

From the article, comes the defining question: "With the boat loaded with members of Penn's entourage, including a personal photographer, one bystander taunted the actor: "How are you going to get any people in that thing?"

Sean's "Kodak moment" sank with his boat.

The only acting this idiot does is pretending to be somebody important enough to be listened to in front of a media circus.
 
Not only are Sean Penn and Hugo Chavez both buffoons, they are both pretty lame. Sean Penn's sinking boat in New Orleans after Katrina efforts illustrated that quite poetically...and now Chavez is pulling a trump card that doesnt really trump anything at that EU card table.

Chavez threatens to block oil over EU rules
By RACHEL JONES
Associated Press Writer

CARACAS, Venezuela --
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez threatened on Thursday to punish European countries that apply controversial new rules for deporting illegal immigrants by denying them oil and blocking their investments.

The EU Parliament passed new guidelines Wednesday seeking to standardize the process by which member nations deport illegal migrants. While the rules do not lay the groundwork for workplace raids like in the United States, they contain contentious measures such as providing for long detention periods.

Chavez said in a televised speech that the measure shows "signs of fascism," and predicted that countries would have to "build concentration camps" to hold millions of immigrants.

"Our oil shouldn't go to those countries" that adopt the policy, he said.

Venezuela sells most of its oil to the United States despite political tensions between the two nations, but is only a minor supplier to Europe. Some European companies operate in Venezuela, including France's Total and Norway's Statoil.

Czech Foreign Minister Karel Schwarzenberg laughed off the threat.

"As far as I know, Venezuela supplies oil mostly to the U.S. ... so it would not be that much of a deal," he told journalists at an EU summit.

Chavez also warned that if a European country were to lock up Colombians, Paraguayans, Bolivians or Ecuadoreans, companies from that nation doing business in Venezuela would come under scrutiny.

"We aren't going to take anyone prisoner, but the company would have to take its investments back there," he said.

Until now, there has been no common EU policy on deporting illegal immigrants, and detention periods varied from 32 days in France to indefinite custody in Britain, the Netherlands and five other countries.

The new guidelines allow migrants to be held in specialized detention centers - not jails - for up to 18 months before being expelled. It also mandates that detained migrants are provided basic rights such as access to free legal advice, and that unaccompanied children or families with children should be held only as a last resort.

Chavez noted that Venezuela has good relations with many European countries, such as France, and said it has "turned the page" with Spain after a flap over its king telling him to shut up at a summit last year.

But if Europe pursues this course on immigration, he said, "why have more summits with the European Union?"
