Podesta: Obama Can Use ‘Armed Forces’ to Push Progressive Agenda (WTF?!?)

I wonder if Center for American Progress is tax exempt. If so needs to be revoked.

[Las Vegas Ron]

Thanks!

“move the country forward”?

Wrong way, Corrigan. Go back to the Constitution.

[Gilbo_3]

yesSir, and when we have Generals who actually live to *fight*, ie Patton & McArthur, we get violence directed at whomever they are unleahed upon...

I’m surprised that somebody hasn’t kicked Podesta’s azz by now.

[mojitojoe]

Exactly. There’s a reason they never want those military ballots to be counted. They know exactly how the military votes.

AS I have posted before,I worked with a young National Guardsman who stated most forcefully that he would not hesitate to bayonet American citizens engaged in passive resistance;so how ready do you think he would be to fire if given the order? And this is ANOTHER reason I think SWAT police teams are dangerous to liberty.

These are the 20% that frighten me.

And I'm more afraid of the SWAT adrenaline junkies turning their guns on us than I am of the military doing the same. Those guys have proven time and time again that they merely "follow orders," and don't give a flying f*ck about anything else.

And I should say that I do think there is gray area. I recognize there’s a very thin tight-rope that has to be walked regarding obedience v accountability. I don’t envy anybody having to make those decisions. I would also feel safer with a US soldier than with just about anybody except my immediate family.

I do fear that the communists will bury their “progressive” moves inside some measures they justify for other reasons - just like Homeland Security defies the 4th Amendment for “security” reasons, even though we’re not gaining any security by these measures. And just like the DOJ defies the Constitution’s statement that the federal government needs to secure all the states from foreign invasion, by claiming that doing so in concrete ways is “discrimination”.

These people serve the Father of Lies, so that’s their native language, and with their sophistry they have already done incredible amounts of damage very quickly. I’m afraid that even honorable, well-intentioned people may easily be sucked into something beyond their control.

*If you're a liberal, under what scenario could you possibly perceive that your side would be able to match a conservative force on the field of battle? It's our side that's all about private firearms ownership. It's our side that dominates the ranks in the military.*

I've posted that idea on the Internet a couple times on other sites.

When the Left threatens violence or killing of the patriots, I point out that they are afraid of guns and they do everything they can to keep people away from firearms of any kind.

Seems like they would be terrible shots if they did get ahold of a gun. I think the awful marksmanship that gang members have supports my statement.

The “good” 80% of the military would be fighting....literally....the “bad” 20% of the military in your scenario.

There is a two-word term for this....it’s called “Civil War.”

[dynachrome]

CWII ping if you haven’t seen this.

[Hemingway's Ghost]

The “good” 80% of the military would be fighting....literally....the “bad” 20% of the military in your scenario.

Understood.

But the question was under what possible scenario would that propose a viable option to them? That 20% of the military would get its ass destroyed by the other 80% in a heartbeat. The use of force is simply a no-win for American liberals.

[hoosierham]

The fact that most of the miltary do not have access to weapons means they could easily be restricted to barracks ;all the bad people need do is seize the armory first.This is so obvious and so often a tactic of tyrants that I feel sure that posting this doesn't give the enemies of freedom hel;,just perhaps we can warn a few of the more naive among the free.

This is another reason to oppose all forms of firearms registration,no matter the reason or cover name given,the goal is an unarmed populace that dare not disobey the tyrants.

Everyone needs a weapon at hand and good information to protect against the criminals at all 8l325vels.

[LizardQueen]

I was just thinking that I’m glad our side has the guns.

[ScottinVA]

Ubanga better make damn sure where the military’s loyalties are before he tries to sic armed forces on Americans.

The majority of professional military members despise types like 0bama. They know the difference between lawful orders and the whims of a Mugabe wannabe.

[ScottinVA]

This has the look of a trial balloon... just to see what the public’s reaction would be...

“I asked a military friend of mine whether SCOTUS was evading the eligibility issue because they feared riots and he said no, riots wouldn’t be a problem.”

Just curious....did your military friend have any explanation for why he thought SCOTUS was evading the eligibility question?
