President Obama has become one of the nation’s most successful commanders in chief when it comes to at least one battlefield: the liberal agenda.
In his final months in office, Mr. Obama is leaving a legacy of a more politically correct armed forces, with the top brass squarely behind him, save the Marine Corps.
Perhaps not since Harry S. Truman’s landmark 1948 order to racially integrate the military has a president unleashed his own collective social revolution on the Pentagon with such success. In the process, the building also has become one of the administration’s loudest voices on battling climate change, even as its ability to fight one major war on schedule is in doubt due to budget cuts.
The White House also has given the Defense Department a gun control mission. And the “white privilege” movement, in which speakers tell a negative history of the white race, sporadically has invaded some military units.
A recent snapshot of the U.S. Army: Its headquarters sent out a series of Twitter messages last week reminding soldiers to celebrate Earth Day, complete with a photo of a green-shaded globe. This was a few days after the Army announced it had selected a group of newly minted female officers to try out for armor and infantry jobs long closed to women until Mr. Obama interceded. The Army also said in budget documents that soldiers now have the right to “self-identify” who they are, an apparent reference to selecting a gender....

Cruz’s entire candidacy is based on ripping off voters choices for Trump, and installing hand-picked delegates after the fact, in an effort to suppress voters voices, and force a second vote where he will “win”.
It is all very very corrupt, and he is frankly not a man the GOP needs. Anywhere. He will not possibly win the general election, nor will any person the GOP floats to also run. Hillary will win the election.
Hillary will win the election. Hillary.
The GOP stood by and did nothing. One of the many reasons the party must be reformed or destroyed.
Used to be just the excessive Apple advertising threads helped hold back donations. Now we have the Cruz-Trump idiocy to make donations reluctant by those not wanting nohing to do with the mudsligning.
I’ve been a FReeper since 2005.
It is time to stop this stupid infighting and rally behind the winner.
Cruz needs to stand the heck down. He won’t win the presidency, by manipulating the results of GOP primaries. He does not have a winning message, does not have a winning personality, and needs to stand the heck down.
I'm on my second FR handle, my first dated back to 98'...
This site should have died in 2008, when it supported McCrazy from the gate & helped assure we got Obummer - It's all over now except the yellin', screamin' and gnashing of teeth.
Hope you all don't have kids, glad I don't, cause if you do you're going to be really sorry you lived long enough to regret listening to the Patriot Movement back in the 90s'...
Nice pic of Sarah Palin.
Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope and no.
Thank you
Good for you, if you say so. What was your screen name back then? Be nice to see what you posted then and when you left.
Regardless, I am sick of Trump-Cruz BS on this site. At least when Julie-Annie was around, no problem knowing the enemy. Few had qualms about zotting his supporters.
Cringing Negativism Network.
Am using this login, because I am currently using non-secure connections overseas. Will likely return to that login when I’m back stateside.
I agree with you but it seems to be Cruz who is the issue. Voters are for Trump.
Cruz is very badly, manipulating the results. That is not what we want in a leader.
AFTER people ACTUALLY VOTE, for Trump.
I dunno Jim, We may be more pissed off now after Obunghole's twice "elections", but not dead.
I admit to sitting out the McStain election, but no further than that.
This pure propaganda BS. I am in touch with active military. They hate him with a passion. The brass are having to act like they are following orders to keep their jobs and their pensions. They’re anxiously awaiting his departure from the White Mosque.
And we still aren’t certain what country the bastard was born in.
And no wonder having been raised by a very very odd religious zealot father as “ the annointed one” ( ted cruz = another unvetted family background )
I commented yesterday that etching the posts or conversing with some Cruz supporters is starting to seem like trying to reason with cultists
I do believe the Cruz movement is a minority as shown by the low votes he gets when actually challenged .... but he has built an influence and loyalist base large enough to split the party and destroy the party as we knew it all the while blaming Trump of course
This messianic-conservative Cruz bloc is determined to “ win” at any cost by any means ....and to them a Pyrrhic victory will still be a victory
90% of GOP female voters in RI turned off by Ted
Seems about right
And wait until the media and democrats expose him
The scandals were not disproved, they were just re buried - for now
I’d say he gets less than 10% of the female vote overall
Even less from democrats independents or moderates that dominate the middle ground of all voters
Trumpster is supposed to give speeches on military and foreign policy this week
Probably after Tuesday elections
More hornet nests will be smoked out
He has oriented the military to kill itself and its own citizens.
Indeed, revolution becomes a farce, when good soldiers are taken out of the leadership and idiots picked from the mass are put there instead.
