Its the pro-gov side that’ll start a Civil War.. I have no doubt.
Actually the collapse of civilization might make it unnecessary anyway.
Newsvine is owned by MSNBC and is even further to the left than MSNBC. An article on Newsvine that garnered 277 votes from that audience is obviously just what the lefties want to hear.
The only people trying to start a civil war are the ones that are in the process of staging a coup against the US Constitution.
The rest of us would just rather see the Constitution be followed, or changed through the proper process.
It is up to the military to decide which side of that argument they want to be on.
...To those calling for a civil war, this Marine wants you to stop, and think...
Is anyone “calling for a civil war” or are they simply saying that may prove to be our only way out of the socialist morass in which we find ourselves?
There isn’t going to be a civil war, at least not a traditional shooting war. We need to fight our war in the state legislatures.
We’re a country that’s far too mixed and even the bluest states are heavy with red outside the cities.
I am calling for a birth certificate.
“But this government of ours is a democracy. We vote for our representatives, and they vote in our interests.”
BULLSQUEEZE! That is how it is SUPPOSED to work.
Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace— but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death! -Patrick Henry, March 23, 1775.
Obama, we are not calling for civil war, it’s just how should I put it... Let me quote your former preacher, “your chickens are coming home to roost”
If this was wrote by a rel marine obiviously he doesn’t understand our Constituton or that ACORN corrupted the election in 2008.
He is right in that an armed uprising would be a rebellion to be put down by the military. The rebels would be the enemy of the Constitution at that point.
That is not the way the liberals understand it though. They think if they pass a law, such as banning all privately owned firearms, they can use the military to enforce it.
At that point, those issuing orders to the military to enforce an unlawful order would be the enemies of the Constitution.
Hotheads deciding to move away from the ballot box towards the bullet box will meet with military problems.
Arrogant politicians who seek to enforce their will through unconstitutional means will likewise meet with military problems.
This Marine, if that is what he is, needs to recognize that Marines will do what their officers tell them to up to a popint. When there is a question of who is violating the constitution, there is a big question as to what the troops will do. We are Americans not mind numbed robots and not rag heads in Iraq.
I can declare civil war without attacking the constitution. In fact, one side of the civil war will be on the side of the constitution.
When the White House violates the constitution, then what is he going to do?
Sgt C from the USMC has just told use marines would fire on their own countrymen. I’m interested to hear what the rest of our Jarhead brethren on FR think about this mans not so subtle threat.
Bullcrap. The Marines willing to stand behind a Marxist gov’t over the people on pain of death are very few and the gov’t knows this. This letter is absolute crap. (I did 6 years in the (USMC) infantry, one tour of Iraq.)
The guy sounds a little wee-wee’d up, not noticing that its his side that’s trashing the Constitution.
“Now I ‘d like to disperse a myth here - many of you think that US military would not fight civilians. I can’t speak for all, but in my case - the moment you declare civil war, you’re no longer civilians. The moment you attack the constitution, you’re now enemies of that constitution. And I swore to defend and support and if necessary give my life for that Constitution and utilize every tool, technique, and weapon at my disposal to do so. And trust me, I’m not alone.”
Thanks for the threat, A-HOLE!
Now, what do you plan to do about those that are ACTUALLY SUBVERTING YOUR CONSTITUTION?
ANY TOUGH WORDS FOR THEM, SOLDIER?!
Exactly WHO is trying to overthrow your government?
But he is certainly correct (and this threat is a proof) when he says the military will murder American citizens if given the order.
Your a damned fool to think otherwise.
This is why we don’t play games with principles.
WRONG. No it's not!
I know the author's intentions are good, but he needs to remember that our nation os a constitutional republic. Democracy is not a stable form of government...why else do you think the lefties promote democracy like they do? It's 'cuz they know this too, & wish to replace it w/ something else -- a totalitarian state where the individual has no meaning.
It is a representative republic. Or at least it used to be. Democracy is mob rule. I doubt this ass clown is a Marine. But if he is he is on the wrong side of the fence.
Silly me. I had just assumed the troops would be on OUR side, not OCommie’s!
