Read the whole thing here. Meanwhile, Rahm Emanuel says no crisis should go unexploited, and Obama aims to redeploy US military resources within the country.
Our military a lot doesn’t think much of Mr. Hopeypants. They think he’s such a farce they actually voted for John McCain in droves. I doubt they’d go too much out on an ethical limb for Baracky cause he’s sort of a prancey clueless gaywad is what they think but don’t say cause they would probably get in trouble.
Ugh. You’re doing some yeoman’s work here, Dan, but I really don’t like going all “Hitler” on Obi Wan. It’s so Ron Howard.
We’re gonna need the military folks to fight that earth standing still guy pretty soon I’m thinking. Though that does seem kinda hopeless on its face, so maybe it would be better not to bother.
I think on the whole it could be better for them to retire from the military and go into politics, run for office sort of stuff, like that Allen West fellow. A redeployment I can see doing some real good for the country. If only, unlike Allen West, we can vote for them in great enough numbers to defeat douches like Ron Klein.
Nice, Dan.
Don’t go ODS here, please.
haps – the German officer corps were made to swear allegiance to Hitler. Our officers and enlisted swear allegiance to the Constitution. They are supposed to be apoltical professionally, and I want nothing more than that.
I despise trutherism no matter where it comes from, no matter who it comes from. The USA is not Nazi Germany. Period, end of story.
I don’t like saying this stuff, either, Salt Lick. I’d only say that those who make such accusations regarding others are worth watching, and that if Eeeeevil Boooooooosh had made such a suggestion, the civil liberties watchdogs would be screaming bloody fucking murder.
I’m more concerned about his stated desire to create a “civilian security corps for domestic use”…
That and the left’s tendency to dehumanize its opponents. Think about the cartoonish picture they paint of the right: racist, greedy, evil, sexist…once you’ve dehumanized your opponents enough, you can justify doing anything to them.
After Baracky rapes our treasury for 700+ billion dollars for his command economy socialist makework programs we’ll have ourselves the start of a right proper fatherland I think. It doesn’t hurt to be vigilant cause that was what we learned after all from what this timeline is about. People what make the exploitation of crises the central tenet of their governing worldview are not to be given the benefit of the doubt I don’t think.
Thing is, Jim Carafano is probably as far from an Obamite as one can get, so what Obama said, not so much. He’s talking more like the stuff Maj John had to do in New Orleans than anything else, I think. Or else about that earth standing still guy.
Obama is a charasmatic meglmaniac. Make of that what you will.
Unfortunately there will always be people who will do what those in power ask, no matter what the request, no matter what the consequences. It is why there is a second amendment. A lot of people in the US own guns. A lot of those people are conservative. Furthermore, the government knows that.
Obama will first try to legislate firearm ownership.
Oh, I think hf accurately characterized Obi Wan as an America-hating Marxweasel months ago, and he definitely reminds me of Julius Nyerre, the first President of Tanzania and creator of Ujaama or African-Socialism.
But I don’t see any evidence he’s got a “final solution” in mind for anybody (yeah, yeah, I know about the 25 million-to-be-executed video).
I’ve been re-reading “Sophie’s Choice” lately. It just seems wrong to use those horrors too lightly.
To an extent I agree with Salt but I think your modern dirty socialist would find final solution type dealios to be crude. Alinsky was all about showing his rancid little disciples how to think outside the final solution box I think. Why even think about killing 25 million people when you can delegitimize them and dehumanize them with your media and your academia and your nonprofits and your two houses of Congress and your vast federal bureaucracy and have NPR affirm it all as right and proper in the morning?
Exactly how would that be done by anyone, except Obama, especially since it is the Hillary Democrats that are carrying the water on this. And I do know about Keyes. He is as much a Republican anymore as McKinney is a Democrat. So why won’t Obama bring out his birth certificate?
My take is Obama is the kid who likes to poke the caged tiger to see him roar. His “lipstick on a pig” comment, and the scratching his cheek with his middle finger moment, during the campaign were pokes at the tiger he saw as caged. He likes the safe adrenaline surge. Not all tigers are caged however.
Not all tigers are caged however.
Especially when the tigers roar have accents.
I still don’t get it. How is Hitler in league with the Underpants Gnomes?
1. Obama gets elected
2. ???
3. Hitler 2: Electric Boogaloo!
If #2 involves the Fairness Doctrine’s secret subsection clause eleventy, you might be on to something. But I’m still not sure what you’re getting at.
Get it right. It’s BHODS.
NTTAWWT..
Barring a catastrophe of major proportions (not just a fire in Congress or something similar) I don’t think BHO will try any extraconstitutional stuff, at least not right away. He’s got the House and Senate to try to bend to his will, it’ll take him a while to secure those. I suspect his first target will be 2nd Amendment-related sorts of things: we’ll have punitive ammo taxes, the ‘assault’ weapons ban II, overriding the states and banning concealed carry permits at the federal level..these minor, incremental things. That’ll take a couple years. Unless..
If the economic hammer falls and we all go starvy, then we might see the emergency powers and some Homeland deployments, and a quick effort to disarm America.
For the children, of course.
Hillary as SecState violates the Constitution, apparently. Something about her having voted for a payraise for the position she’s about to take. Article I, Section 6:
Would you call that sort of thing, Rob, probing for constitutional weaknesses? If so, then should we press for absolute constitutional resolution in, ultimately, the Supreme Court (much like some are pressing for absolute resolution on the birth certificate dodge)?
Possibly. Seeing just how much he can get away with.
On the other hand, it may just be ignorance. Which, given his vaunted status as a “lecturer” on the Constitution, is rather surprising.
I dunno.
I look at the birth certificate issue as going nowhere, except for setting a good example that we in the loyal opposition won’t tolerate abuse, at any level.
Of course it’s a silly issue, probably. But the underlying principle is something we shouldn’t allow to let slide, or be trampled.
We have to keep a sharp eye on this Ayers-loving bastiche..
Birth certificate dodge? What dodge? Give it up, people.
It is up to you truth seekers to prove he is not a citizen. Find the fucking proof, dumbfucks. Innocent until proven guilty, and all that. Even Pam Atlas gave up on the not-a-citizen bullshit when she declared him Malcolm X’s lovechild, so I guess that places those who think Obama was born in Kenya at about extra-Lunar on the looney scale.
This birth certificate kerfuffle is batshit absurd until someone comes up with some valid document saying anything other than that Obama was born in Hawaii in 1961. Until then, there’s no there there. Hell, there isn’t even a place next to there yet. There isn’t even a gravitational field found using the most advanced equipment theoretical physics has dreamt of that can detect the shadows of traces of that particular there. Give me something to prove something and we’ll talk, until then: keep searching.
Baracky is uncommonly socialist for a for real American though Jon. He doesn’t even think like American people unless you count journalists. Definitely not American as apple pie. Unless it was creepy redistributive dictator-loving pie.
He doesn’t need to. The Commerce Clause obsoleted the Constitution decades ago — if it moves, breathes, or has value, it’s to be told what to do. O! is just batting cleanup.
Actually, jon, technically the burden falls to O! and were he interested, he’d make short work of it. Not that he’ll ever have to comply, of course, but proving negatives is typically problematic.
Exactly how would that be done by anyone, except Obama, especially since it is the Hillary Democrats that are carrying the water on this.
I see that meya is still lying on who is responsible here.
geoffb, I’d recommend not engaging with her. She’s fundamentally dishonest.
Looks like jon has drunk the same Koolaid, too.
A supporter of Baracky’s new SoS is behind this, jon.
Sorry if that makes your little fascist head explode.
I see that meya is still lying on who is responsible here.
“Lying about”, that should say.
There’s a lot of this that’s far to easy to misunderstand, mostly because of the general public’s lack of understanding of our lingo.
The article speaks of “deploying” US forces in this country. Dan, not quite compounding the error, but keeping the mud stirred into the water, uses “redeploy.” Deploy means any current or past event or activity that relates to duty in the armed forces that involves an operation, location, command, or duty that is different from the military member’s normal duty assignment. Redeployment means the return of the military members to their normal duty assignment; “un”deployment as it were, rather than deploying again. In that respect, troops that are returning from deployment to a normal duty assignment that now includes ARNORTH attachment (which is the case with 1st Bde/3d ID), can be said to “redeploy” to this duty.
But the PhD that wrote the original article doesn’t know what the terms he’s throwing around mean, and as a result, even though he is trying to reassure, it sounds more sinister than it really is. In other respects his article is dead on. The only thing that has actually changed is that NORTHCOM has been given a specific pool of troops that they draw on fisrt if needed, rather than the ad hoc “who’s available” method that has pertained in the past.
Not mentioned in any discussion I’ve seen on this, is that NORTHCOM also already has a force of 300 Marines dedicated to counter WMD operations and the 57 National Guard Civil Support Teams under their aegis.
Eh.
The Commerce Clause is part of teh Constitution and always has been. Doesn’t seem likely that it could have obsoleted itself.
Things have changed. The 14th Amendment, if we must look for where that alteration lies, fundamentally altered the nature of the Constitution, but was done in the manner prescribed by it, providing the Federal government the reach all the way to the individual level–something never intended by the founders.
If that’s true (and I have no way of knowing) he won’t have much excuse not to, since I believe he holds a B.S. from West Point, an M.S. from U.S. Army War College Carlisle in addition to the Phd from Georgetown and retired a Lt Col. after 25 yrs service.
Judging by outcomes, clearly it hasn’t. Just all that other junk.
…until someone comes up with some valid document saying anything other than that Obama was born in Hawaii in 1961.
I have got tons of them, dude. In fact every document I have in my records says something other than Obama was born in Hawaii. Fuck, man, this is a slam dunk.
Good call, B Moe. Slam dunk, indeed.
But unless B Moe’s phone bill is enough for a court of law, I’ll have to wait for something more substantive.
Again I ask: has anyone any evidence whatsoever that Barack Obama was born somewhere other than the official story? I may be accused of drinking the Kool-Aid from now until whenever, but at least I have some semblance of a story to stick behind. You truthers have bupkis, zero, nada, bullshit, innuendo, and a complete lack of anything resembling a valid case to stand on. Obama doesn’t owe you jack shit unless you show cause, and all the batshit insane wingnut’s and the anti-Obama associated Jim Jones Juicers have come up with is reasons for me to think they are idiots.
Honestly, do you have any evidence to the contrary? Anything? And no, an implication that someone is hiding something doesn’t count as evidence. UFOs, sasquatch, the Loch Ness Monster, and Andy Dick’s sobriety and heterosexuality have more evidentiary basis than whatever assertion you guys are making by bringing up the birth certificate nonsense.
You truthers have bupkis, zero, nada, bullshit, innuendo
Translation: you’re completely illiterate.
Buh-bye.
SBP,
Agreed. It’s the nature of the beast on the Left.
Sometimes they provide an opening to say something. Some of them, sometimes. For the others, your quite original programing is the answer. My thanks again.
Obama doesn’t owe you jack shit unless you show cause…
Are you fucking insane, jon? You realize an employer has every right to ask for proof of citizenship of a potential employee, right? Not just the right, but is obligated by law. If a significant number of the American public want Obama to prove he is a natural citizen, he bears the burden of proof.
You pinheads just flip that “no man is above the law” shit off and on like a hookers g string, don’t you.
jon would rather argue with the cartoons in his head, I think.
jon and meya seem to be rather obsessive about something that preposterous, is what I think. I have to say I find the whole thing incredibly amusing.
Me I’ll be curious to find out if Baracky is actually a for real American or if he just made it up. How can that not be interesting? It would be like totally historical.
If someone can prove he’s not a citizen, do so. But as things stand, the evidence that exists outside the heads and websites of truthers suggests conclusively that he’s not only a citizen, but a natural-born one as well. Deal with it or prove otherwise.
Saying that he should prove it for you isn’t proof, and I’m proud to be called fucking insane for saying so.
Not amusing. It’s a meme or storyline that is being implanted in the national consciousness. The Right must always be set up to take a fall, for anything.
This game has been played so many times and Charlie Brown always tries to kick the ball. Sisyphean.
That is right, jon, because the President is different from everyone else. Just because we all bear the burden of proof of citizenship when we apply for a new job doesn’t mean he has to. The President is special, he has special laws just for him.
What other special laws does the President have, jon? What laws does he not have to obey?
jon,
Do you realize that you have taken the errant question of a troll and then made a series of assumptions based n only that an nothing that anyone else has said about what everyone else commenting believes? You are as SBP says, arguing with the cartoons in your own head.

You really ought to stamp out that birth certificate controversy, because otherwise people will think that all conservative arguments are silly wingnuttia.”
AS opposed to eight years of BOOOOOSHITLER, you mean, right?
I have a friend who does immigration law, jon. I am going to tell him what you said, because apparently he had no idea it was that easy.
“Until the INS can produce a birth certificate proving my client was born in Mexico, Your Honor, I am going to have to demand all charges be dropped!”
lmfao.
“Comment by jon on 12/7 @ 9:13 pm #

Did anyone else spot the dodge?
Real cute.
Sorta like Algore calling scientist “deniers”, to smear them with a wide brush.
Well played, young man, well played.
Oh, as an aside, I think the birth certificate nonsense is just that, nonsense.
It seems Obama and his handlers were playing games with the birth certificate request right from the start. First, someone from his campaign posted an obviously photoshopped version on KOS..that move alone raised hackles throughout the rightosphere. Then, reports that his grandmother in Kenya claims to have attended to his birth..in Kenya. But the one fact that closed the book for me was the newspaper clipping produced from Honolulu that announced the birth of one Baracky to his parents, in Honolulu, in 1961. Turn the page.
I blame his mother, for traipsing after communists on two continents. Talk about ‘mad at daddy’ syndrome..
I don’t really give a shit, other than the humor value. I think it is hilarious the contortions jon is willing to go to to make it go away. It does seem strange to me that it has wound up in the Supreme Court, it doesn’t seem to bode well for Obama’s problem solving abilities that he can’t just make it go away.
The Supreme Court is a good place for this issue to land. At least it’ll set precedent for future presidents. Maybe we’ll get an official ‘application form’ with a formal list of required supporting documents, to be appended.
I’d like to use the form Obama required for his minion-selections. That certainly would’ve eliminated BHO early on.
Dan
The historyplace site is not the most accurate.
For example here it discusses the burning of the Reichstag:
The exact sequence of events will never be known, but Nazi storm troopers under the direction of Göring were also involved in torching the place. They had befriended the arsonist and may have known or even encouraged him to burn the Reichstag that night.
This is the “standard narrative” derived from “The Brown Book”, Münzenberg a noted German communist.
Compare that with this article.
As Stephen Koch, author of “Double Lives†and Sean McMeekin, author of “The Red Millionaire”, Münzenberg’s biography, pointed out “The Brown Book” so highly praised at the time and so valued by various historians, was largely a pack of lies.
and
Even at the time this (the thesis that the Nazi’s burnt the Reichstag) was thin and has since been disproved quite categorically by, among others, Fritz Tobias in his 1964 book, “The Reichstag Fire”. No other writer has produced any evidence to back the half-baked assertions of “The Brown Book”
I’m not disputing the core fact of the holocaust, just pointing out that there are more reliable sources for this material.
Talk about “hick-ass stupid” syndrome, you’re one inflicted little hick-boi, serr8d.
TDK, I appreciate that. I’m concerned about accuracy of sources of narratives as well. In this case, though, I’m not stating that Obama and company will create a crisis to manipulate, but that they’ll utilize one to realize objectives that they believe are justified and desirable, but which in fact are inimical to the relation between the US Government and its subjects.
The S.E.C. (Securities and Exchange Commission) was created after and in response to the 1928 stock market crash.
Gee, I hope Obama isn’t talking that sort’a shit. Improving our capital markets through necessary regulation sounds like such a sucky idea!
Dan
I was just making a point of information rather than substantive criticism.
I think your point about the enabling power of “crisis'” is covered in Goldberg’s Liberal Fascism.
@53 thor, as usual, can drop only insults.
I blame your mother, thor-thing, for not realizing that an after-the-fact
abortionflush was the only way to be sure..enabling power of “crisis’â€Â
Wasn Rham Emmanuel going on about precisely that in an interview? Crisise are political opportunities for the left, etc/
Y’all, please — let’s not be those guys. Leave the tinfoil hat wearing to the left; it’s one of the few consolations in their lives. There are plenty of legitimate things to oppose about Obama, but comparing him to Hitler is hardly productive — it just makes us look as unserious and hysterical as the left has been for the past eight years.
