“There are just too many constitutional barriers present which makes the military much harder to activate against the civilian population.”
And our West Point-trained officers would hopefully refuse to follow illegal and unconstitutional orders. Remember, their duty to uphold the Constitution overrides their duty to obey the President, and perhaps this is something they need to think about if Obama should actually win.
“There are just too many constitutional barriers present which makes the military much harder to activate against the civilian population.”
Abe Lincoln and Gen. Sherman.
[and no, I do NOT want this to devolve into a “Civil War/Treason/State’s Rights/Secession” thread...the point is that Lincoln believed he was justified and Zero will, too.]
So...if you’re 0bama, you reduce the size of the military that is bound to the Constitution and replace it with your ubiquitous Civilian soldiers, who are bound to only you. Wasn’t that easy? This guy could not make it any more obvious what he is, yet half the country wants him elected. I ignored 0bama for a long time as I just didn’t think this junior senator out of the blue could be a serious candidate. Then in the first speech I heard of his, he said, “the culture wars are OVER” — implying the Left had won. I thought, oh, really?? Says who?
