Liberals have no Army.
When the uniformed men and women of the American military are called to defend the Constitution, it won’t be Van Jones on the winning side.
That brings up an interesting question — do most in our military know what “defending the Constitution” means? I AM NOT insulting their intelligence, but I am questioning the COMMON perception that the civilian leaders are the “duly elected and constitutional” leaders and therefore their orders are to be obeyed. Do the troops know ENOUGH about the Constitution to question unconstitutional orders by Federal Officials on Principle — and to instead uphold the Constitution itself?
I would imagine a good portion of our military would balk at actually bearing arms against American citizens on American soil. But, how many? And would the Fed’s send units to different regions to minimize resistance to order’s? Would the Fed’s even import foreign troops — UN forces? — in such a scenario?
Oops — sorry to hijack the thread... Just thinking out loud.... Send copies of the Constitution to all our military personnel! And pray for every one of them.
I too have had this question, on my mind for some time now. A great question, you are asking. I know not how the original poster of the thread is thinking. More exposure would come though, in the form of a question before the entire FReeper community....mho
I believe more than half the military would support the Constitution and the American people. When combined with the armed American people, the current batch of anti-Americans won’t stand a chance.
Look at the Congressional map at RealClearPolitics.com and imagine Van Jones supporters trying to overtake that far flung opposition.
