Soldiers attending a pre-deployment briefing at Fort Hood say they were told that evangelical Christians and members of the Tea Party were a threat to the nation and that any soldier donating to those groups would be subjected to punishment under the Uniform Code of Military Justice.
A soldier who attended the Oct. 17th briefing told me the counter-intelligence agent in charge of the meeting spent nearly a half hour discussing how evangelical Christians and groups like the American Family Association were “tearing the country apart.”
Michael Berry, an attorney with the Liberty Institute, is advising the soldier and has launched an investigation into the incident.

Take control of strategic transportation and power grids and you can starve the population into submission. A large force would not be needed.
Yep and then economy grinds to a halt, and the tax base dries up. What do you pay, the welfare, interest, bureaucrats, or the troops? Forgo the welfare and pay the troops, and the cities burn, meaning more troops to the city. Forgo the interest and we default. Think anyone’s going to buy our debt?
We are not in a position to juggle at all any more. The states and the people at some point will take control of their own security. It’s uncharted territory as to what will happen. As the largest, most populous, armed capitalist country in history, there are no easy choices for the govt.
This administration is anti-christian, and the military services are being required to implement anti-christian policies.
“Take control of strategic transportation and power grids and you can starve the population into submission.”
That’s a two-way road. Take control of transportation, food, water and power and starve DC into submission. It’s more likely we can do that to them than vice-versa.
Quite simply, the DC liberals don’t have the manpower or the logistics to starve out anything more than the immediate DC suburbs. How many troops would the federal fascists need to send to control Iowa cornfields and Georgia peach orchards? Try 25 divisions to start, and that’s before they start taking return fire. Once resistance starts, the DC fascists would need a half million troops to try to suppress rebellion. That’s in two states.
Incidentally, how many thousands of troops would desert their units and return to their home states to defend their families? The most recent example in the Libyan civil war tells us that 75% of troops would desert, taking their weapons with them and joining state militias.
The US had a hell of a time trying to control Vietnam - equivalent to one US state - using the full force of the military. In an all-out war, multiply that times 25 states. And no, you will never muster an elite fighting force from liberal states whose majority population hates war, despises guns, doesn’t want to work, watches American Idol and has no martial tradition.
Yes, but it is a sad thing to see a country turn on the principles that made it work.
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings with terror and slaughter return!

Do not underestimate the blue state liberals' ability to take up arms and fight. Many, if not all, are driven by a fanatical hatred for conservatives and would embrace the opportunity to slaughter their enemies if it came. They do not despise guns or wars so much as they despise the people who own and fight them.
the purpose of the political officer was to ensure “morale” and well being, within the ranks. also to detect disloyalty to the state. these positions, though maybe inferior in rank, would in reality carry considerable power. (including over riding ranking commanders orders)
“Kritika and samokritika, criticism and self-criticism respectively, were a core function of the mandatory Party meetings. At these meetings, the political staff was required to not only note who spoke, but exactly what was said. Party members of the enlisted ranks or junior officers were encouraged to freely criticize the military decisions or personal habits of the higher officers if these actions did not fit Party doctrine or norms.(38) The effects of this practice on the commander’s authority must have been devastating. ..”

Let’s not make these fat, 70 IQ blobs to be Rambos. They more closely resemble the professional, leech lifetime bureaucrat you find in France - puffed up with self-importance, cowardly and weak. Remember how well the French buearecrats fought the Nazi occupation? Oh, wait, they joined the Nazis.
The last real example we have of American leftists mustering a fighting force was the Lincoln Brigade. They got their butts kicked by Franco in Spain.
I prefer to live in reality rather than fantasy.
