ONE article by a left-wing nutjob at West Point does not prove a large scale, formal program to train the army to target conservatives. You’re pushing a conspiracy at the highest levels of government and the military. I supposed to believe every last general officer is either complicit in this or holding their tongue? Not one is willing to step forward and stand up for the US Constitution they are sworn to uphold? Not one of them is a conservative? Sorry. Not buying it.
By the rude bridge that arched the flood,
Their flag to April’s breeze unfurled,
Here once the embattled farmers stood
And fired the shot heard round the world.
— Emerson
So, we’ve got one of the leading military schools and think tanks writing position papers and teaching future military officers that Obama’s political opponants are enemies of the State. And many posters here think that’s no big deal?
The "creaking noise" is not from the walls collapsing inward, but bulging outward. Don't tell them. It would spoil the surprise.
“a few gun-toting militia”
Wait a minute, I’M a gun-toter! Oh, except when I’m actually on a military base, because I’m apparently too dangerous as a CHL holder, or maybe because I qualified Expert on three different weapons and that somehow identified me as dangerous to OUR side.
Makes. Me. Sick.

Interesting situation, in that I assume most of the Cadets attending West Point are still from the type of families the left considers enemies
These cronies have one choice, let us keep our guns or die. Our guns vastly out number theirs. It is not even close. Now if they want to commit suicide by constitution, many of us now have no problem with that. Especially after watching what their cronyism has done to our country and our lives.
I predict a second American civil war is coming down the road.
What we are about to hear is the inspiration for a new edition of Emerson’s well known poem commemorating that first ‘shot heard round the world’...
By the rude bridge that arched the flood,
Their flag to April’s breeze unfurled,
Here once the embattled farmers stood,
And fired the shot heard round the world.
The foe long since in silence slept;
Alike the conqueror silent sleeps;
And Time the ruined bridge has swept
Down the dark stream which seaward creeps.
On this green bank, by this soft stream,
We set to-day a votive stone;
That memory may their deed redeem,
When, like our sires, our sons are gone.
Spirit, that made those spirits dare,
To die, and leave their children free,
Bid Time and Nature gently spare
The shaft we raise to them and thee.
The stream could well be the Potomac in the new edition, and the washing out to sea could well be the debris from the evil arrogance that has infiltrated DC today.
If the Feds are smart, they will continue to SLOWLY tighten the noose. If some outrageous event galvanized a large enough public reaction, the unpleasantness could be resolved in days.
