I have been investigated by the feds for my political activities.

If I received a call from the highest ranking military man in America regarding my faith, or my politics, then I would ask him if he was going to have me killed, what else could such a call imply?

The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff does not call a private citizen to express displeasure with his religious or political views, OR ANY OTHER SUCH BUSINESS.

This should be a major story of the decade, heads should roll, the media should be hysterical and seeking blood.

Great.....a lie on top of stupid behavior. This administration is in full panic mode. What a bunch of rookies. This is what happens when you elect the third-string junior high football team (Obama) into the NFL.

General, you guys are fighting to protect free speech not oppose it.

The march towards Fascism continues unabated.

The general is doing quite a disservice to this country.

This general is a POS and a threat to this country. He should hand in his stars.

Does anyone on this forum know this jerk?

Think of how the Muslim world interprets this.

Our response was that a private American is beyond the government, or administrations control, our hands are tied because we are a free nation, first amendment, etc.

Now the Muslims see a Christian ‘Inman’ in personal contact with one of the most powerful men in the world in their view, the man who leads the military, in their view.

Now it looks like the man is closely tied to our government and power structure, and that he IS SUBJECT to or even participating in government, with his actions.

That’s no excuse. When the Joint Chiefs Chairman calls you and “asks” you to do/not do something that is intimidation by an order of magnitude. This jackass should have the Bill of Rights tattooed on his forehead.

The administration pressures Florida Pastor as Google posts the film in the Middle East.

Got it.

The CEO of Google is mega DNC Donor and Obama adviser Eric Schmidt.

No word of whether he called the Cairo or Libyan Embassies, the dead or wounded servicemen’s families, regional commanders, his boss,etc. But we KNOW FOR Damned sure he phoned a wacko Pastor in Florida who was not involved.

“Muslim protestors have reportedly cited the video as one reason for this week’s attacks...”

There’s that, maybe. There’s also the fact that they are animals who don’t belong in a civilized world and should be wiped from the face of the earth.

Perhaps the General should also call various Marines, Airmen, Navy Seals, and Army soldiers and tell them to stop killing Taliban and other Islamic terrorists, because no doubt about it, killing the Al Qaeda leaders really annoys their extremist allies around the world.

I'm waiting to hear the news about General Dempsey making those calls.

Once he's done with them he can call executives at the Gap, Macys, Nordstrom, and other stores and suggest they replace the women's clothing they sell with veils and burqas. That should also help to mollify the Islamic extremists.

Martin Dempsey’s Letter Calling for Review of Military Education and Training Curriculum

http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2012/04/25/us/Review-of-Military-Education-Training-Curriculum.html

Gen. Dempsey told Britain’s left wing Manchester Guardian “I don’t want to be complicit if [Israel] choose[s] to do it.”

Complicit? That word means the general does not want the U.S. to be party to a crime.

Does Gen. Dempsey speak for the Obama administration? Does the Obama administration really think that stopping the Iranian mullahs from developing a nuclear weapon would be a criminal act?

Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey called out a group of special operations veterans for wading into politics with a video claiming President Barack Obama has taken too much credit for the killing of Osama bin Laden.
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0812/79989.html

Ryan said military leaders had lied to Congress in their support for their proposed budgets that included sweeping cuts to planned defense spending.

“We don’t think the generals are giving us their true advice. We don’t think the generals believe that their budget is really the right budget,” Ryan said in March. “What we get from the Pentagon is a budget-driven strategy not a strategy-driven budget.”

Dempsey took issue with a member of Congress essentially calling him and his fellow generals liars. Ryan eventually had to apologize for his statements saying he “misspoke.”

The rockets posed no threat to the safety of Dempsey or his staff, who were asleep in their quarters at the time of the incident in the early hours of the morning, officers said.
A spokesman for NATO’s International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) described the rocket hitting the general’s plane as simply a lucky shot.

Dempsey had been visiting Kabul to meet commanders of the NATO-led force and Afghan top brass amid a surge in assaults by Afghan security personnel on their international colleagues.

Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey indicated that “international permission,” rather than Congressional approval, provided a ‘legal basis’ for military action by the United States.

The military’s top uniformed leader decided on his own to phone an extremist Florida pastor linked to an inflammatory anti-Islamic online video, the Pentagon said Thursday – no one else asked him to do so.

BS!

Ever since my earliest days in the Navy, long ago, I wondered what it would be like to tell a flag officer to Go F*** Yourself! If I were to ever get a call like this, it would be quite short.
