West Point center cites dangers of ‘far right’ in U.S.
Washington Times ^ | jan 17 | Rowan Scarboroush

Posted on 01/18/2013 8:21:54 AM PST by tgusa

A West Point think tank has issued a paper warning America about “far right” groups such as the “anti-federalist” movement, which supports “civil activism, individual freedoms and self-government.”

The report issued this week by the Combating Terrorism Center at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, N.Y., is titled “Challengers from the Sidelines: Understanding America’s Violent Far-Right.”

Let me get this straight - a military professor at Joint Forces Staff College discusses the FACT that muslim terrorists want to kill us, and the admistration comes unglued .....while some so-called 'think tank' (mental masturbators) at West Point go off on the 'dangers' posed by conservatives, and Obama's Media just yawns?

>> ‘think tank’ (mental masturbators) at West Point

I think we can safely assume where at least a handful of the queers in the military ended up.

The far left are “activists” and the far right are “extremists”. Hmmmmm. There’s something not right there.

The left is the most dangerous group in this country. Look at the murder rates of democrat communities.

Hmmm. Right leaning bad? Left leaning good? I would think that some emphasis on the “radical left wing extremists” that wish to subvert the constitution and crush the bill of rights would be more of a concern. But we are talking a think tank. Was it funded by g. soros? I could have sworn that when I took the oath (68) it was to protect and defend the constitution from all enemies foreign and domestic. I guess we have seen the enemy and it is.............us? WTH?

So, they don’t see a problem with government trending Socialist/Marxist/Communist/Fascist/Totalitarian/Tyrannical.

Instead, they warn us about those who might exercise their Constitutional duty to interfere once said government goes too far.

I have no problem with them drawing the battle lines. I e always assumed the military would end up on the government side. But to all military, the oath you took was to the Constitution, not the government. When the phrase “ ...all smilies, foreign and domestic” was uttered who did you think the domestic enemy of the Constitution was likely to be? The People upholding it’s Bill of Rights or the self-aggrandizing, cult-of-personality smug sissy who always found himself too fine to join your ranks? Think on it soldier and decide carefully with whom you’ll throw your lot.

On another note, folks, the Left is now ensconced in the places where future US military leaders receive their training...

Two things to note here.

1. This follows Panetta making comments to Airborne Infantry troops just yesterday.

2. Note the lengths of enlistment. These west point folks will be in for 6 years, most of the grunts yesterday, 4.

This thing is going hot, during Obama's secodn term.

The military isn’t threatened by increased Statism.

That is until the state runs out of money from Statist policies, then the military has a problem.

Apparently this ‘think tank’ is fine with the administration putting tens of thousands of service folks out in the cold with the huge riff that is coming down the pike - as well as adding to the cost of the health insurance for retired military. I bet cutting military pensions will be next big push.

I expect this ‘think tank’ will publish something about the grotesque treatment of our servicemen as a good thing, since it comes from this administration they apparently worship.

I wonder what Sam Adams, Patrick Henry, George Mason, James Monroe, Otis Warren et al would say.
