VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35, Orlando) -- She's only 12 years old but Ashleigh Jones is feeling the heat of this election year.

That’s because the seventh grader at New Smyrna Beach Middle School was called a racist by classmates for wearing a pro-Sarah Palin t-shirt.

Jones is volunteering at the Republican Headquarters in New Smyrna Beach. The Palin t-shirt was a gift from her fellow volunteers.

But when she wore it to school she learned just how tough politics can be.

“Some of the students were calling me racist because I was Caucasian,” she said. “I wanted the Caucasian man to win. And I told them that’s not true. It’s my freedom of speech, it’s my opinion.”

I often wondered about that. I mean if the government orders the military to attack U.S. citizens in a full out up rising, would our enlisted sons and daughters follow orders. Or would they adhere to the Constitution and protect us and the Constitution from the government. OBAMA SOLDIER

Well.......

“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; and 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.” (Title 10, US Code; Act of 5 May 1960 replacing the wording first adopted in 1789, with amendment effective 5 October 1962).

“I, _____ (SSAN), having been appointed an officer in the Army of the United States, as indicated above in the grade of _____ do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign or domestic, that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservations or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office upon which I am about to enter; So help me God.” (DA Form 71, 1 August 1959, for officers.)

So, if the Officers determine Obama is a domestic enemy, the enlisted must follow them

I feel like a broken record, but could you imagine if a child wearing an Obama T Shirt was called a terrorist sympathizer or something.....the story would be on all the front pages and the lead story on all the evening news casts with wailing, hand wringing and gnashing of teeth.

Unfortunately, people aren’t going to hear about this story!! It’s sympathetic to Republicans.....

You might be surprised as to how many of our military personnel would refuse to follow a communist POS named Obama.

I would be surprised if any of them obeyed Obama
