Hey Podesta…my SON is in the armed forces. He AINT going to take those kinds of orders. Get over it — our military belongs to US! They are our sons and daughters. You will never have control of our military, you progresso libtard commies.

“They are our sons and daughters”

GO AMERICA!

This line sends chills up and down my spine:

How does one “move the country forward”? In the center’s report, Podesta explains that Obama can use executive orders, rulemaking, and even the armed forces “to accomplish important change” and that such means “should not be underestimated.”

“should not be underestimated.”

“should not be underestimated.”

“should not be underestimated.”

“should not be underestimated.”

That is a direct threat.

“President Bush, for example, faced a divided Congress throughout most of his term in office, yet few can doubt his ability to craft a unique and deeply conservative agenda using every aspect of the policymaking apparatus at his disposal.”

Huh? “a divided Congress throughout most of his term in office”? I suppose if you count McCain, Graham, Snowe, Collins, Voinovich, Murkowski....

“yet few can doubt his ability to craft a unique and deeply conservative agenda”!!! What? The Presciption Drugs program? Not touching Social Security and Medicare? No Child Left Behind? The Bailout? That part where he said the free market doesn’t work?

If DADT is repealed will HIV+ Gays be allowed to join the military since I believe it is illegal to not hire a person who is HIV+.

” The advantage is EO can be undone by the next sitting President. “

In the ‘Absolutely Worst Possible Scenario’, the ‘next sitting President’ might come to power in 20-30 years after a protracted - possibly bloody - struggle for succession...

Can anyone recall someone who has worked directly with the President on a day to day basis advising the use of military on its own people? What other time in history has this counsel been given?

CAP (Center for American Progress) is a George Soros creation.

You can be sure that everything Podesta says has been OK'ed by Soros.

I get a very suspicious and sick feeling whenever anyone says we need to “move the country forward”.

They want to use the armed forces to push their agenda off onto the rest of the country. Stop or minimize enforcement of DADT to make homosexuality more acceptable. Then the next time that civil unions or gay marriage comes up, then they point at the military. They want to use the military as a wedge.

Look for G&L “quotas” in military promotions. Perhaps discrimination lawsuits for whatever for G or L servicemembers. He might be able to order PX/BX/NEX to have GLT observance month or something similar.

If this person’s son doesn’t take those kinds of orders he will be court-martialed.

Just like Lt Col Lakin.

The people deciding the lawfulness of the orders Lakin disobeyed refused to include the Constitutionality of the orders as one of the elements of lawfulness, even though that criteria is specifically mentioned in Article 92 of the UCMJ.

That means that if this person’s son disobeys an order he can scream all he wants about the unlawfulness (unconstitutionality0 of the order, but RIGHT NOW, as we speak, the precedent is being set to totally remove the actual elements of Article 92 which define Constitutionality as one criteria for lawful orders.

Those who have tee-hee’ed the “birther” issue are shooting themselves - and their military sons and daughters - in a much more serious place than just their foot.

Considering that ‘community’ is not known for monogamy and fidelity, it doesn’t matter if they are HIV+ at the start, there is a high chance they will acquire it at some point later.
And if they will force this on the military, they will force the induction of people with capability reducing diseases.
