hey are soldiers and they go where they’re ordered. Unless, of course, they’ve been ordered to round up the Tea Partiers into concentration camps for diversity training

Well, since the Tea parties are being systematically harassed, intimidated, and spied on by government, are the concentration camps next?

The Russians learned their lessons from Kosovo.

It’s NOT ‘boots’ on the ground - it’s America’s sons, fathers, brothers and sisters and wives on the ground...

Why is Theresa the ketchup lady attending the committee FRONT ROW during the hearing and providing notes to Kerry?

Ohhhh, how times do change (for liberals anyway).

The Ketchup Man also said that launching missiles "isn't war". I seem to recall the Left accusing Nixon of "widening" the Vietnam war by bombing NVA hole-up spots in Cambodia. If launching missiles, or bombs, "isn't war", what was the Left chattering about back then (hint: anti-war Propaganda)? Also, why didn't the Left accuse the NVA of "widening" the war, since they were in Cambodia first?

Such is the Left's tenuous grasp of history (or their memory of it - always hazy after a few bong hits)......

“are the concentration camps next? “

In 2008 I attended a party. Turns out I was probably the only Republican. A group of outlandishly gay university professors were just whooping up Obama’s victory. Although I don’t think they were stoned and it was too early for them to be drunk, they acted both. They kept out-doing each other with suggestions about what to do with the defeated Republicans. The last suggestion I heard, after reeducation camps, was yelled by a fat PhD breathing from an oxygen tank. He yelled, “Re-educate hell! Just gas the bastards!” They all whooped and yelled and said that was the best idea. Meanwhile, as I’m leaving, I thought, “You know, you guys would be the very first ones arrested and executed. Communists always destroy their most ardent followers first because they’re the ones they can’t trust when things don’t work out the way they promised or expected.” But that’s where liberal thinking is; concentration camps for those who don’t believe. (I’ve had to take diversity training about six times at various jobs. It’s pure propaganda. But one thing it won’t allow is non-politically correct ideas. Mention the constitution and you just might get fired. The last place I worked forced me to sign a pledge that I wouldn’t tell any jokes at work. Why? Because you don’t know who you might insult.)

Where is mac daddy? He has had plenty of time to address the American public, so instead he, as usual, leads from behind by sending his sock puppet to try to clean up his mess.

We all know that whatever he is saying is a lie, and America will become much more involved.

But have no fear he will still be able to have is parties, play golf and go on tax payers vacations.

Sometimes I think this is all part of a grand plan. But I don’t know what the end result is supposed to be.

My point was the government is corrupt and conducting illegal activities, aiding and abetting the destruction of our sovereignty, which has resulted in undermining and compromising our very electoral process.

Are you still suggesting those in the military should continue to blindly obey and follow the rules?

When they’re issued illegal orders, “shoot these unarmed civilians,” they can disobey. But what is the difference between what you’re suggesting and running away to Canada in 1965? If we’re in a Civil War then they can chose their own path. Robert E. Lee, as I recall, was offered command of the Union Army. He joined the South.

Individuals in the US military can’t decide policy. If our Republic is to succeed then the people have to make the decision to change the government. All of our nuclear weapons are in the keeping of the military. If they’re ordered to use them on US cities, fine, disobey. But do you want every person at every level with access to lethal material or sensitive information to make up his own mind? While he’s not military Snowden did. The damage done to this country is incalculable.

In light of this, are you still suggesting those in the military should continue to blindly obey and follow the rules?

“In light of this, are you still suggesting those in the military should continue to blindly obey and follow the rules?”

Can you imagine the Snowden debacle but multiplied hundreds or thousands of times? It’s up to the people to resolve the governmental issues at the ballot box. Some uncoordinated individual actions by servicemen will only hurt America and America’s standing (what’s left of it) in the world. It’s still possible for the people to resolve this and I expect it to happen. If the military or Homeland Security is ordered to take illegal actions, then, I hope and expect that they will disobey. I don’t know if they still do it, but the military used to teach what orders were illegal and how to disobey them.
