I've seen the Muslims Holding American Office list in a few other places, and some of them were quite a bit longer. It isn't a few or a few dozen. It's hundreds. I guess this is the Reader's Digest Condensed List. We Now Have A Muslim Government - Wake Up! Jihad is not just about killing the infidels with bombs, bullets, and naked blades. There is also conquest by infiltration. Put enough Muslims in positions of power and an infidel country becomes a Muslim country. It matters less what the people want than what their government tells them to want. When all the lawmakers are Muslim, the laws they will pass will be Islamic laws. And in the meantime, where better to place your spies than in the most secret councils of your enemy?
All true, unfortunately, and just makes me wonder where our military is since they are sworn to defend against domestic enemies. All those West Point and Annapolis graduates who know the score, have sworn the oath, and yet have not enough testosterone to step to the plate and do their duty. Maybe a sergeant should point this out to them. It still boils down to a bunch of old guys who are civilians now that will be called upon to save everybody else's rumps from the fire, including all the brass in the Pentagon who will probably have to be rescued too. Absolutely disgusting!
We took an oath to defend the Constitution...which clearly defines the mechanisms to elect and remove the President and Congress. The military has no Constitutional authority to elect or remove the government any more than civilians and would be violating that oath if they did so. So where do we draw the line between keeping our oath to a piece of paper and defending our country and our people from a rogue government? That is a question that only each oath-taker can answer for themselves, but consider this...the military is subordinate to civilian authority, so if "civilians" took the lead to remove a government, it would give many military oath-takers an easy justification to break their oath. Bottom line, we shouldn't be waiting around for the military to do our dirty work, we have to do our dirty work and have faith that they will make the proper choice of who to support. We, the "civilians" need to lead.
The head of the military is the President, a civilian, and his boss is the whole of the population. Therefore, says me, if the population decides that the president is not (whatever) then the military is NOT breaking any oaths by following the civilian lead.
My point exactly...but much more concise. The key takeaway is that it's up to us, the civilians to lead, not the military.
