When Armies are Unleashed Against Citizens-2 Pages of the ObamaCare Bill
Conservative Examiner ^ | 4/10/2010 | Anthony G. Martin

Posted on 04/10/2010 1:43:19 PM PDT by Welshman007

One of the cornerstones of the American experiment in human freedom is the tenet that military forces are never to be used against citizens, except in cases of extreme national emergency. When military forces are allowed to engage in domestic issues a Pandora's box is opened that unleashes a slippery slope that erodes every known principle of human liberty.

Fox News legal analyst and judge Andrew Napolitano has raised serious questions about a new 'private army' funded by the ObamaCare bill.

Of course Obama wants his own Gestapo. He knows the American military will not obey his ultimate orders to murder dissenters and this is why he wants his own forces. Word to the wise. Don’t turn in your guns when they make them illegal. It is coming.

So Welshman007, are you Anthony G. Martin? I only ask because Mr. Martin looks like a Welshman.

“Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are ruined...The great object is that every man be armed. Everyone who is able might have a gun.”
-Patrick Henry.

I recall from the old media during the Clinton years how “character” in our pols in general and the President in particular supposedly didn't matter. Well, we now have a President and his party devoid of character and honor enough to p!ss on the Constitution they swore to defend.

Oh, and with a Scotus narrowly divided between Constitutionalists and heathens there is little reason to presume they will rescue the republic.

I guess people aren't old enough to remember the bayonets and paratroopers in the 1950s and 1960s, American citizens were having to go through some adjustments during that time.

I was trained by the BEST, ‘Black Hats’ that have ever served in our military.

We, were made to ‘make believe’ that we were Ghosts and that we could infiltrate anywhere and anyone that tried to take actions that were detrimental to the units that we were protecting.

There are Thousands of us.
Thousands of X nam veterans feel the same way that I do!

As old as I/we are .. This taking over of our country .. IS NOT going to continue without a fight!

I don’t .. for a second believe that our men in uniform will take up arms against American citizens but .. If they were to .. I just don’t believe that they were trained to do the damage that the nam vets were trained to do.

I say this because .. None of us were trained in “Political Correctness”.

We were trained .. To Kill .. Damn the PC!

God Help Us .. I PRAY that it doesn’t come to that but .. If it does .. I’ve got your back my fellow Americans!

I am not so sure the military won’t follow those orders after years of demonizing, media propaganda and staged “incidents”.

plinyelder, post 11 is the 101st Airborne in Arkansas during the Eisenhower administration, 1957.

Anyone remember Washington DC 1971? Imagine arrests of over 12,000 Americans and the 82nd Airborne and U.S. Marines in full force by the thousands.

Imagine this “At one point, so many soldiers and marines were being moved into the area from bases along the East Coast that troop transports were landing at the rate of one every three minutes at Andrews Air Force Base in suburban Maryland, about 15 miles from the White House.”

I was held in an internment center for a few days (the coliseum) then transferred to a jail for a few days, no charges were ever filed, I don’t even remember being processed, although we were all questioned by the FBI.

Real life stories of my youth in 1971.

“The Federal government already had various plans drawn up to deal with major disruptions in cities throughout the country. These plans had been developed in response to the urban disorders of the 1960s. The government now put one of these plans into action to protect the Capital. While protesters listened to music, planned their actions or slept, the authorities quickly moved 10,000 Federal troops to various locations in the D.C. area, including 4,000 paratroopers from the U.S. 82nd Airborne Division. At one point, so many soldiers and marines were being moved into the area from bases along the East Coast that troop transports were landing at the rate of one every three minutes at Andrews Air Force Base in suburban Maryland, about 15 miles from the White House. These troops were to back up the 5,100 D.C. Metropolitan Police and 2,000 D.C. National Guard troops that were already on the streets.

A state of siege existed in the Capital. Thousands of troops and thousands of demonstrators planned to confront each other on Monday May 3rd. Nixon’s internal security forces had moved into place early Monday morning. Every bridge coming into the city was lined with troops. Every monument, park and traffic circle had troops protecting its perimeters. Paratroopers and marines made helicopter combat assaults onto the grounds of the Washington Monument. “

I remember that.

I also can say that we have NEVER been under attack by a piece of $#it Muslim that is so against our way of life and our country as has never been seen before!

I am in touch with over a thousand X vets (You know the site) that served in our armed forces .. Navy, Army, Airforce, Marines and Coast Guard in the nam era that are SO SICK of the Marxist takeover of this country that I and They will fight .. The dummied down, PC soldiers of today’s military.

I can also say that, even though we don’t want to .. We are looking Forward to defending .. Our Country .. Even against the PC’ed Military.

Let them do so at their own peril!

Do you Really think that they would be willing to kill their own countrymen?

If so .. All bets are off!

Nam Vets .. Unite!
