MacArthur is said to have said that he swore an oath to defend the Constitution, not to defend the men who temporarily hold office under it. For this he was called an American Caesar, a threat to the Republic. Too many officers in the military today acts as if their oath was to their command-in-chief. But Our President is the one who acts like Caesar, promising free bread to the “proles” in return for their loyalty. Except of course he could not lead a troop of Boy Scouts on a camping trip.

And several others that were inexplicably pulled by mods.

IMHO the reason is simple.

The New Black Panther Party and Nation of Islam are Holder’s “people”, the Tea party (in the view of the liberal-progressive-socialist-dimocrat cabal) aren’t.

According to the Rules for radicals, among the first acts to take against a group opposing you is to rob them on any legitimacy they might have through lies and other acts.

Any more questions?

I think some would and some won’t. This is how civil wars get started, political division, then division in the army.

This is a half-baked thought piece about how the Insurrection Act might be invoked in the future. It has ignited a firestorm but I can't find anywhere this author has responded to his critics. Hopefully it was a case of temporary stupidity.

Still, it is very disturbing he settled on the tea party for his scenario. Why not choose the Occupy movement, which in contrast has actually occupied parts of cities???

Jim Quinn dealt with it in great detail on his radio show this morning.

RobbyS — When the “Bonus Army” demanded payment for their military service, in 1932 though their bonuses weren’t due until 1945, please remember it was MacArthur who commanded the infantry, cavalry and tanks to demolish their camp in Washington, D.C., and burn their belongings.

Would the military follow orders and attack American citizens? Yes, I do believe enough would to make things very messy.

And then there’s this little factoid:

“DHS Orders 750 Million More Rounds of Ammo”

From the article / scenario: “nearly one in five Americans reports being vehemently opposed to immigration, legal or illegal,”

Yes, and so what is wrong with this attitude? We are being overrun. A drive through the small towns of Texas is more like a drive through Matamoros, Mexico. Why do non-citizens have and when were they ever given rights as citizens? NO other country in the world allows such in any shape form or fashion to my knowledge. It is simply wrong and a burden to the citizens, tax paying or not. This is yet another example of right becoming wrong and vice versa.

The creeping cancer of lax immigration and control of our sovereignty has become a full blown rout and attack, indeed a usurpation, on the rights of citizens and the unique status of being a citizen. Instead of carrying rights to protection from enemies foreign and domestic it has become an obligation to protect and pay for them and in fact a burden without significant rights and privilege at all.

Also from the article: “and even U.S.-born nonwhites have become occasional targets for mobs of angry whites.” Yes, maybe, when the element of the subject are citizens in name only and in reality just Hooker Babies that are a convenience of their parents and the subjects of an ill informed and wrong interpretation of the stupid 14th amendment.

The Republic is not sacred, the Constitution is. The Constitution is the contract of We the People with the Republic and the Republic is in violation of the contract. The Republic only exists at the pleasure of the governed. It has become unpleasant to say the least and is becoming more repugnant with each passing day.

The context of the bonus army was a situation in which radicals held mass rallies in New York and Chicago, which somehow did not get reported to the public, by the press or by the newsreels. Which was, of course, the same as the Communist and Nazi rallies in Berlin. but scary enough.Early we had the use of the army to break strikes during the previous Great Depression and during the labor wars of the 1870s. McArthur’s mistake was owing to his vanity and love of theatrics. Ike was there, but pictures taken of him clearly show him embarrassed.

“You're probably a terrorist if you're against abortion, against illegal immigration, and against gun control. If you're just against paying taxes you could be a terrorist unless you're a member of the presidential cabinet or a congressional representative, then you're excused.

When I see statements like this scattered among the writings, I have to wonder if the objective isn't quite what a superficial reading would lead you to believe.

What happens where the elites and ordinary people simply do not look at the world in the same way. On the other hand, it was our choice not to produce enough children to fill the jobs required, for our desire to pamper our children, so they didn’t need to soil their hands. Went to a summer graduation at Texas Tech on Saturday. The majority of degrees in engineering went to dark-skinned persons with hard to pronounce names. The degrees in finance, accounting etc. went to white kids. But long ago, we decided that OUR kids need not be carpenters, bricklawyers, plumbers. etc. Put an ax into the hands of the average high school boy, at tell him to chop down that small tree. He will swing it like a girl. Which is why we have all those Mexicans, and by that I mean people FROM Mexico and central America.

If anyone thinks that some in the military won’t just blindly follow orders, feel free to watch this clips:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1Qx0cTze0M&feature=related
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tbp1hERZjI&feature=fvwrel

The whole thing is a travesty, but the truth comes out at about the 1:46 mark. Dumb f**ks don’t even know what they’re doing. Just blindly following orders.

But then you have this guy:

Maybe there is hope.

I meant 1:46 of the first clip, but the other two are just as bad
