I for one am a happy Texan, to see that my elected officials do seem to care a little about my rights and freedoms.

I certainly am not about to let down my guard however.

Hey, just because they think we're crazy, doesn't make the possibility any less true. I don't live in a Jade Helm state, but it makes me nervous.

I'm not savvy or worldly enough to understand that benefits the military gets from the operation, how it compares to previous operations, how far Obummer is willing to go, why those states were chosen and on and on.
I have to ride the sidelines on this one.
I DO KNOW that five Walmart’s didn't have catastrophic plumbing issues at the same time lol. But i think that’ a hit back at the groups behind the wage strikes.

Just consider the source.

Aren’t the Kennedys due to kill another citizen soon?

Being called “loony” by a drug-addled Kennedy isn’t the worst thing in the world. Beecause he knows, you know.

Isn’t it disgusting to hear these pampered illogical leftists call sane people names? “It” isn’t called paranoia, it IS called Vigilance.

“Be Prepared.”

For the other point of view:

Jade Helm 15, Crime Stoppers and KSK
http://www.wnd.com/2015/05/jade-helm-15-crime-stoppers-and-ksk/
5/3/2015
CHUCK NORRIS

...If you haven’t heard about Jade Helm 15, you need to. It is multi-state training mission for special operations soldiers scheduled over an eight-week period in July and August, with most of the activity happening on private property but some public, too. The official website press release from March 24 admits: “While multi-state training exercises such as these are not unique to the military, the size and scope of Jade Helm sets this one apart.”

Gov. Abbot was right in writing Maj. Gen. Gerald Betty, “During the training operation, it is important that Texans know their safety, constitutional rights, private property rights and civil liberties will not be infringed.” Abbott is demanding “regular updates on the progress and safety of the Operation.”

Concerned Texans and Americans are in no way calling into question our brave and courageous men and women in uniform. They are merely following orders. What’s under question are those who are pulling the strings at the top of Jade Helm 15 back in Washington. The U.S. government says, “It’s just a training exercise.” But I’m not sure the term “just” has any reference to reality when the government uses it.

“Well, I’m not trusting what we’re being told,” said Mike Hightower, an affable antique store owner and real-estate agent in the very small town of Smithville, Texas, where some Jade Helm 15 exercises will take place. He added, “I think there’s something a little more involved than what they’re telling us.”

If Washington wants to cool the embers of controversy, then it should quit stoking the fire, as with the posting of a map of Jade Helm 15 “just” exercises that label some areas of the country, including Texas, as “hostile,” according to KHOU 11 News in Houston and verified by the Washington Post.

I have an idea: If the government insists on running expanded military ops across seven Southwest states, why doesn’t it move all that “military training” south and protect our borders at the same time?!

Whatever Jade Helm 15 actually is, I think it is more than coincidental that the FBI director just confessed in February that the presence of ISIS can be felt in all 50 states of the U.S. and that the Pentagon is suddenly running its biggest military training exercise with every branch of the military across seven Southwestern states. Whether deterrence, display of power or something more covert or devious, let’s not come with any patronizing nonsense of impotence and simplicity when its origin is in Washington.

I’m glad Texas Sen. Ted Cruz is asking the tough questions of the Pentagon about Jade Helm 15, particularly because its “exercises” come too near to my ranch’s backdoor as well, at least according to the map. It’s pretty sad and bad when major military ops are ordered in a large, fiery state like Texas and not even the governor or its senators know the specifics....

Just because Ron Paul sets up a straw man for you, that doesn’t mean it’s not a straw man.
I love the part where he refers to Ron Paul and “less crazy” than your typical TX lawmaker. He really cares about limited government, and I like him for that, but “not crazy” isn’t a term I would use for him.
No, obviously you need an excuse to implement martial law, you can’t be this obvious about planning it ahead of time. And I don’t imagine that this exercise involves the kind of manpower needed to enforce martial law on a state the size of TX, especially with no solid explanation for the sheeple as to why it is necessary.
But, I think the people of TX have little reason to trust the intentions or conduct of the federal government and they certainly should watch to make sure their citizens rights don’t get swept under the rug even on a small scale.

Not trusting the federal government is somehow crazy?

Every Texan I ever met was nuts. Got nuttin' to do wit' nuttin'.

If, however, we reduce Kennedy's argument (if you can dignify it with the term) to its constituent parts, we have:

1. There are armed people in uniforms running around your neighborhood.

2. It's crazy to ask what they're doing.

Somebody's crazy here, but I don't think it's the Texans.

How dare the liberal, Kennedy operation think their bigoted opinion as anything but persuasive! You think this is Republican fear mongering? How about 40 years of liberal policies — mostly coming from the Kennedy compound — trying to hide their greed and need for power by acting like they are helping those less unfortunate? You want to allow a massive invasion of people who cannot be identified into my state and expect me to sit back and simply use my Southern hospitality? Not no. But HELL NO! You can take your Yankee elitism and stick it up there where your head is! Don’t Mess with Texans (believe it).

Dear Robert F. Kennedy, Junior's Ring Of Fire staff: I don't believe ANYTHING that comes out of the mouth of the 0bama regime, nor it's sycophants in the media.

What would be ironic is if the gubmint *were* planning something with JH15, but the excessive attention drew too much heat and made them postpone it.

All you people who worry about a federal takeover are so delusional.

Obama himself promised that there would never be tyranny in the United States, and told us not to listen to people like you.

Seems to me our ENTIRE CONSTITUTION was prefaced on an
inherent distrust of government.

Somehow human nature has changed in the past 250 years?
