This is part of JPJ's correspondence to General DE LA Layette. Located it while browsing in google books.

Since we have witnessed Obama's verbal attacks on the Tea Party movement and other numerous events thought it should be posted.

Great find. We’ve survived so far with the system as it is. I doubt “the messiah” is ignorant enough to give such orders, he would not like the response of his commanders if he did.

It does provoke some thought however. I am continuously amazed at the prescience of our forefathers. It borders on the unreal.

Was it the Whiskey Rebellion, where he did this very thing?

thanks for posting this, as an Australian I will be very interested in reading Freeper replies to this:

The President should be only the first civil Magistrate, let him command the military with the pen; but deprive him of the power to draw his sword and lead them, under some plausible pretext, or under any circumstances whatever to cut the throats of a part of his fellow citizens, and to make him tyrant of the rest.

Even though Washington was nearly above criticism, it was controversial when Washington, while President, personally led the Army against the Whiskey Rebellion.

[KoRn]

The military is forbidden from operating within our borders, which should address such issues. However, during the past years, we have seen those lines blurring.

Though I’m sure many wouldn’t follow orders to fire on US citizens, at the same time I fear that most of them would. I’m certain when that time comes, it will be ‘justified’ in some way.

[JudgemAll]

These men not only fought against tyranny but were commited to the people they free as they free themselves. This is the first rule of engagement.

[worst-case scenario]

So you think that Obama will move from words and verbal attacks (”the pen”) to a point where he will ...”draw his sword and lead them [the military], under some plausible pretext, or under any circumstances whatever to cut the throats of a part of his fellow citizens...”?

Do you believe that the military would follow such orders? Because that is the only way that Obama can become a tyrant. American citizens wouldn’t allow it willingly.
