So it's ok when Bushie tramples on the Constitution and American's rights, because he had an R after his name. Now that a darkie is in the White House with a D after his name, suddenly they remember their convictions and start preparing for Civil War II? Give me a F***ING break.Most of the men's gripes revolve around policies that began under President Bush but didn't scare them so much at the time. "Too many conservatives relied on Bush's character and didn't pay attention," founder Rhodes told me. "Only now, with Obama, do they worry and see what has been done. I trusted Bush to only go after the terrorists. But what do you think can happen down the road when they say, 'I think you are a threat to the nation?'"
i love how they bridged the gap from "pre-emptive strike" to "martial law"Cause we all know the most practical weapon after the collapse of civilization will be a 50 caliber sniper rifle that can kill from a mile away and reduce game to a pink mist.
TheDesmondo?Now Pray is both a Birther and a Truther. He believes he is following an illegitimate, foreign-born president in a war on terror launched by a government plot—9/11. He admires soldiers like Army reservist Major Stefan Frederick Cook, who volunteered for a deployment last May and then sued to avoid it—claiming that Obama is not a natural-born citizen and is thus unfit for command. Pray himself had been eager to go to Iraq when his own unit deployed last June, but he smashed both knees falling from a crane rig and the injuries kept him stateside. In September, he was demoted from specialist to private first class—he'd been written up for bull**** infractions, he claims, after seeking help for a drinking problem. His job on base involves operating and maintaining heavy machinery; the day before we met, he and his fellow "undeployables" had attached a snowplow to a Humvee, their biggest assignment in a while. He spends idle hours at the now-quiet base researching the New World Order and conspiracies about swine flu quarantine camps—and doing his best to "wake up" other soldiers.
You think race has something to do with this?Oh f**k me.

You must have missed this part of the article:You think race has something to do with this?
MikeD to the white courtesy phone please.
(To be fair, we had an upswing of militia nuts during the Clinton years as well, right?)
He and his Web staff have been overwhelmed, he told me, by the amount of policing required to keep people from posting "off message" commentary encouraging violence or racism.
False flag postings by fascist communist liberals.You must have missed this part of the article:
Enter the Desmondo in 3...2.....1.....Conspiracy-radio king Alex Jones even put an Oath Keepers segment, including footage of the Lexington speech, on his hit DVD Fall of the Republic. "I can't stress enough how much your organization is scaring the globalists," he told Rhodes on his show.
The crowd was full of familiar faces from patriot rallies and town hall meetings, with an impressive showing by luminaries of the rising patriot movement.
But the thing with these type guys is they rebel against any form of government that does not embrace the strictly militant point of view they have. It even referenced in the article how they sat and bragged about their military exploits, which most of them dream up reading Soldier of Fortune. This group was formed during the Bush administration and has been vocal against the Patriot Act, The DHS, etc. They tend to think that a civilian government will always be pussified and guns, God and glory is the only way to defend the country. The majority of these guys would crap their pants if they ever had to really pull the trigger. They have no concept of the notion that honorable service entails the following of legal orders and respecting the leadership that is either voted in or appointed over them.I'm not a soldier, but I can appreciate taking an oath and serving your country faithfully.
There has always been dissension whenever a "weak" president has taken over.
But let's say you decide to buck your orders. As soon as 2013, we could have a Republican president, and the next thing you know, whatever rules or orders you were fighting, you now would embrace.
But you will always be branded a bad soldier because you chose to disobey your orders in 2010.
Beck will still have his job, but you will SOL.
I'd argue that if you join the US military, it shouldn't be a surprise when you find yourself in some third world country blowing up people that might not deserve it. Then again, you have to factor in what schools are teaching, and all the commercials that the US military runs that makes being in the army seem like a paid version of a boarding high school...so who the **** knows?This leads to a larger debate: following orders, just or unjust?
Would you serve as a concentration camp guard? How about fighting in Cambodia? Invading Iraq?
I have no answer, particularly about the last one, which I disagree with personally but would accept my orders if I was in this situation.
Whew. This a debate that has gone on for years and will never really be concluded I think. I can only answser for me personally. Nuremberg resolved the question that you can't use "just following orders" as a defense for criminal acts. But obviously, the moral defense someone uses for themselves is a personal one and varies with the individual. I believe that a certain amount of trust and faith in the elected and appointed leadership is required to maintain good order and discipline and to ensure mission completion. You are taught from early on in the military on how to distinguish between lawful and unlawful orders. For example, you have every right to question any order that you know will unnecessarily put yourself or fellow members in a dangerous situation not related to direct combat (training, etc) or to knowingly violate US law or the Geneva Convention. That is a gray area and has obviously been interpreted many different ways.This leads to a larger debate: following orders, just or unjust?

Yikes. Yet some how I'm totally not suprised. This belongs in either the Kidwoo for President thread or the Janet Napolitano thank you thread.
TheDesmondo?
The government is scared to death of that last question coming out...This leads to a larger debate: following orders, just or unjust?

That's all you have? You spent the better part of a day trying to convince us to watch the movie quoted in this related story and a lol is all you have? C'mon now, get in here and fight!Lol, nope.
what, don't practice what you preach? typical christian. you're as worthless as the sh*t and donkey jizz stained thong i brought back from TijuanaLol, nope.
Those movies don't advocate violence or any militia activity. Those militia groups who advocate violence are shooting themselves in the foot.That's all you have?

No way dude, I don't preach violence.what, don't practice what you preach? typical christian. you're as worthless as the sh*t and donkey jizz stained thong i brought back from Tijuana
Come on man.what, don't practice what you preach? typical christian. you're as worthless as the sh*t and donkey jizz stained thong i brought back from Tijuana
What scares me the most is that not only might they literally shoot themselves in the foot someday, but that they'll shoot their fvcking neighbors because they voted for the guy who's not mccain.Those movies don't advocate violence or any militia activity. Those militia groups who advocate violence are shooting themselves in the foot.
The hell they don't. Sure its not said outright, but what do you think a person is supposed to feel/want to do after watching a 2 hour "documentary" about how the government is conspiring to basically enslave them. Why would you not take up arms against your oppressor if you actually thought that was true? I would.Those movies don't advocate violence or any militia activity.
but you preach stupidity, which is just as dangerous.No way dude, I don't preach violence.
Tijuana...edit: why did a donkey jizz on your thong? I mean feces I can understand but......
Don't be so hard on the guy. I listen to Alex Jones too but purely from an anthropological standpoint (if that makes sense). That sh1t cracks me up. Same reason I read "Children of the Matrix."Tijuana...
yea, I listen to / watch Beck, O'Reilly, Palin, the tea bigots, etc, but from an Art of War / Know Thy Enemy standpoint.I listen to Alex Jones too but purely from an anthropological standpoint (if that makes sense).
I also do the same thing. Seriously. These people are there for deception and are an enemy to the real truth movement.yea, I listen to / watch Beck, O'Reilly, Palin, the tea bigots, etc, but from an Art of War / Know Thy Enemy standpoint.
You would take up arms? You do realize that is exactly what the new world order/ globalists would want because then they would have an excuse to really ramp up the police state. That's what I meant by saying that these militia groups are shooting themselves in the foot.The hell they don't. Sure its not said outright, but what do you think a person is supposed to feel/want to do after watching a 2 hour "documentary" about how the government is conspiring to basically enslave them.

You make it sound like there's some "they" out there ready to grab power.......like something out of John's Revelation.You do realize that is exactly what the new world order/ globalists would want because then they would have an excuse to really ramp up the police state.

You know the newest member of the New World Order, Scott Brown, just voted for a Democratic jobs bill.You would take up arms? You do realize that is exactly what the new world order/ globalists would want because then they would have an excuse to really ramp up the police state. That's what I meant by saying that these militia groups are shooting themselves in the foot.
But yet, Rhodes appeared in the movie you advocated for us to watch. Are you seriously saying that the Oath Keepers could not be considered a militia group considering their target audience and their stated beliefs?Those movies don't advocate violence or any militia activity. Those militia groups who advocate violence are shooting themselves in the foot.
No way dude, I don't preach violence.
I am seriously saying that the Oath Keepers should not be considered a militia group. You know why? Because their stated beliefs on their website indicate that they are not a militia group.But yet, Rhodes appeared in the movie you advocated for us to watch. Are you seriously saying that the Oath Keepers could not be considered a militia group considering their target audience and their stated beliefs?
