I'd love to see our Pres ent just try to order true patriots, the military, to quell an uprising...
I'm sure the order would be met with either "About Face!" or "Too the rear, march" and turn on him.
THAT would be protecting and defending the Constitution.

It’s a BS story, the riot gear is normal stock for The Military prison at Fort Leavenworth Kansas.
Our soldiers don’t need riot gear, they have body armor.
DUH!

Wow, this is crazy. “He will not be deterred by formalistic notions regarding freedom of speech or assembly that may conflict with his intent to transform this country.” That is a ridiculously disturbing comment. And training the army to handle “this situation”? I’m not sure the army was intended to police its own citizens.

But only when a Democrat is in the White House.

“With the likes of Limbaugh, Santelli, Cramer and others stirring up trouble with their repeated expressions of disrespect toward the President, we’ve got to be prepared,” said the President’s Press Secretary, Robert Gibbs. “We cannot tolerate any destabilizing demonstrations of disloyalty during these times of severe economic crisis.”

Is there another link (news article) to verify this quote, please? Thanks.

hmm, now thats odd, for the past 8 years, I’ve seen bumper stickers that claim “dissent is the highest form of patriotism” and now thats not the case?
wow, am I shocked.

So if riots happen, Barry’s going to blame Rush. It’s a setup for the reinstatement of the Fairness Doctrine and the end of the 1st Amendment.

rumor has it that the military has been told to be ready to defend the whitehouse.
How reliable is the source of the rumor?
To: NorCoGOP
I would have thought so too until a conversation I had with an Army field officer night before last.
