“Did you read the post? All of it?”
I never comment on a posted article or response without reading all of it.
“Because the point being made is that the breaking out of the story into the MSM may be a precursor to some actual digging into the rest of Obama’s murky past on the part of the amazingly uncourious ususal suspects.”
Mr. d-o, I know you don’t believe that digging into Obama’s certainly murky past is worth making common cause with the sort who have encouraged mutiny in the ranks and thus endangering your son and his fellow marines. This is what happens when nonsense and lunacy is tolerated. Eventually it begins to hit at the military. The left has been doing it since you and I were young guys and since Viet Nam without much success. But now its the right and some in the military, not many, but some, will listen to the right and if that leads to what a number of Freepers have called for, namely mutiny in the ranks (which is precisely what those chiefs were concerned about), in order to advance their political agenda, then more and more of our service personnel will die and we will LOSE the war. Do you think that’s worth encouraging the media to look into Obama’s past? I don’t.
Since you brought my son into this, I will share what I have tried to teach him about swearing an oath.
I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same. That I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.
We homeschooled him, so I am sure he understands that the first part of this oath is unconditional. The second half is not.
It is my considered opinion that the survival of our Republic may come down to a clear understanding of the differences in the two parts of the oath. If, in your eyes, that puts me on the kook fringe, so be it.
