We have a new term for “pirates” now:

“Merchant marine organizers.”

Looks like we are going back to treating our veterans like crap like the Viet-Nam days when the vets came home and were denied jobs and were spat on. When I use to work for LM, the managerial power structure was former IBM (most old school) and we had a Viet-Nam vet - Jack. He was in the company longer than these punks but when they came in, they treated him pretty badly. Plus he didn’t care on being politically correct either.

That leftist mentality of labeling anyone with an opposing idea as an extremist is what led the Klintoon administration to assault the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, and what ultimately led to burning to death of more than 80 men, women and children—American citizens all.

They ought to read DU a while to decide whether or not the “left wing” elevator goes all the way to the top floor. What little I see on there is the most hate-filled, obscene, juvenile garbage imaginable.

The words of that kid (last name Pollak) who put Barney Frank in his place by asking a simple question that caused Frank to blow up rather than respond:

And one of the reasons I don’t consider myself a Democrat anymore is because whenever you ask a question, you’re labeled. You’re put into a box. I found that even when I was a left-wing Democrat, as I was — and I was so left-wing in my undergrad days that I thought Bill Clinton was too far to the center. When I would go to left-wing events, I found that questioners did exactly what Congressman Frank did. When I went to conservative events, they listened to the question and they gave me an answer. And so I think that that has a profound effect on you over time, if you’re the kind of person who’s curious about the way the world works.

WE the People need to get someone to donate copies of The Declaration of Independence and The Constitution and hand them out at HHS. Not that these people can actually READ.

What a bunch of maroons. This @#&#@ has no concept of The American Way . . . much less Truth and Justice.

I am livid.

Someone check out Saul Alinsky or Marx or Hitler and see if this is just part of the overall plan to take away the guns from Patriots and the Military who would defend the Constitution and replace it with the People's Army who are paid and pledged to the Great Fuhrer Caliph 0bama.

The more totalitarian, dictatorial, and communistic/fascistic a society is, the more likely it is to remove guns from its law-abiding citizenry.

Metals, like Lithium, have been used in the treatments of mental diseases... I think something a bit more drastic and weighty, like lead or copper, should be used to treat these outbreaks.

You may want to get a second opinion though.

Somewhere along the line somebody decided they were no long a threat to society and let them all loose as a cost-saving measure.

IIRC, that was Reagan.

Is Obama eligible to be president? Has Obama lied about where and when he was born?

Why does the mainstream media treat Obama one way and the rest of us mortals a different way when it comes to asking Obama direct questions about his past?

1. I like to watch tv shows like Dateline, 48 hours, 20/20.

2. On these shows, the reporters go right after the person they interview when the reporters are investigating crimes such as murders and embezzlements.

3. These reporters have no problem asking persons very direct and embarrassing questions like the following:

"Did you murder so and so?"

"Did you poison the victim?"

"Where were you on the night of the murder?"

"Did you ever physically and verbally abuse the victim during your relationship?"

"Did you murder your previous girlfriend or girlfriends?"

"Did you embezzle all the money that the press claims you stole from your clients and your company?"

4. As we know, reporters routinely confront suspects by putting microphones in their faces as the persons are putting out the trash in front of their homes, or when the suspects are simply walking down the street.

5. Some reporters even spend days and nights camped outside suspects' homes, and they quickly confront the suspects when the suspects leave their houses even for a few minutes.

6. But when it comes to the way the mainstream media treats President Obama, it is with a don't-touch-him attitude.

7. Myself, I would like to hear a mainstream media reporter ask Obama two simple questions in my lifetime:

"Were you born in Hawaii? When?"

"Could you please give us the name of your Hawaii birth hospital?"

8. My point is this: Why is it so hard for prominent reporters to ask the President of the United States the two simple questions above about his Hawaii birthplace and his Hawaii birth hospital, when they have no problem confronting suspected murderers and embezzlers with embarrassing personal questions and with an in-your-face-microphone approach?

What is sad is that it will ultimately be our military’s loyalty to Constitutional government that would prevent them from entering the battle against the side of a tyrannous government.

It would literally be up to former soldiers and those who resign - precisely what Obama is afraid of in this report - who depose a tyrannous government.

The military will heroically protect Americans from any and all external threats; we are own our own against our internal threats to our democracy and our way of life.

But the oath of enlistment is to the Constitution first, and the part on obeying orders requires that they be LAWFUL ORDERS; as the Constitution is the supreme law of the land, that means that contra-constitutional orders are illegal. Period.

You’ve got a great point.

I’ve read some on our great military commanders, and I would sure rather they were in charge than Obama. They are incredibly thoughtful men who understand the times and the threats facing the nation. They also understand how to make things work.

But these are men who TRULY support the idea of civilian leadership, and it is unfathomable to me that they would step in and lead a revolt against an elected government.
