This is an uninterrupted 51-second video of Obama speaking; he's telling us exactly what he will do to the military...watch it before this too is removed off the web site.



Pass it on...the USA needs a Wake-up call.





http://www.macsmind.com/wordpress/2008/02/27/obama-plans-to-disarm-america





This is absolutely shocking & reprehensible. He plans to unilaterally disarm our nation.The question is... for what? And more specifically, for whom ?!!!!!!!!

Sounds to me that he wants to get our defense spending in check.

Stop being the police man to the world and work with other nations to eliminate the arms race since the cold war is over.

Lets raise taxes, cut military spending, take our nukes off hair triggers, and invite Iran over for causal conversation about the weather.

No hope for this guy, his "change" is a little more than most Americans are looking for.

Haha...a while ago I got a bright idea to move to another country for a bit for the experience...soo um well I guess I kinda just ended up in Canada. I will be moving back this coming December to the lovely state of New York!! So I currently work at the Foothills Medical Center in Calgary Alberta!! Unit 102, Surgery and Oncology!!

I'm missing home though...I'm overdue to move back to the US!! I'm hoping if all works out I can move back before December!

Thanks for the compliment Big Grin!! Great way to start my morning!

Considering the current hostilities throughout the world right now, does it make sense to cut defense spending? Is it a good idea to do so when many, on his side of the argument, continuously tout the military is broken?

Yup, makes sense to me. Roll Eyes

Wray,

Thank you for posting.

Bad news it is. I wonder if he is going to pick Ralph Nader as his running mate, while he is at it. Sounds like he is going to go the pacifist route. Let us hope that history will not repeat itself. The American people must be educated, where many were born at night. But let us hope that many were not born last night.

What nation disarms its military? Let there be peace and let God (no offense to aheitsts) grant a miracle! That is my hope and prayer, but until then, we need to help and trust in ourselves only. How do you make peace with terrorists who don't even care if they die themselves, and see it as beyond honorable to die and go to the sky with 72 virgin women? Even Switzerland, though being a "neutral" nation, still arms and military is mandatory for men between certain ages, so I have heard, where they take their weapons home. I think there is a new law there to continue to allow weapons at home, but not ammo to be stored at home. What good are weapons for protection in this case, though?

The extreme left is trying to put a stop to this in Switzerland, just as the extreme left is trying to put a stop to our Second Ammendment rights here.

Hey Rob, how about getting welfare slavery in check? How about putting able-bodied people to work rather than carrying them on the public dole? How about we stop paying women to calf out another baby and make the parent’s responsible for the babies they enjoy making? How about we stopping the liberal network called “PBS” and force them to become profitable or be gone? How about making people fend for themselves rather than sucking us dry like bloodsucking ticks? How about we stop funding ‘art’ like crosses in a bottle of piss? How about stopping some of this crap before disarming the US?

Then we can go after cutting bridges to nowhere and other BS pork barrel projects? Cut out investing millions into stupid museums and other politician’s pet projects? Then maybe we can make the world a safer place by disarming and effectively becoming cannon fonder for the radical Islamists? And when we are all dead or practicing Islam, then we can sit back and say what a wonderful world we live in!

Heaven help us if this racial bigot gets elected to be POTUS. Heaven help us all!

I seem to recall hearing Rush Limbaugh the other day slamming Mubarack Hussein Obama. One cannot mention this and that about him, or else you are considered to be a racist.

I second this motion of all who posted here. Please think long and hard. We were also caught with our pants down at the start of WWII in not being prepared. You are Coasties and other military people here of other branches. The Coastie motto is Semper Paratus. Why go to the contrary and be a sitting duck with Obama's plan/vision for change? We the public depend on you and I hope to be one of you one day if it is in my destiny, which I am working to make it my destiny now. It will be our own faults if his plans come to fruition and we will have only ourselves to blame.

Not my quote. Taken from here, where I could not agree more. Credit to poster on this board ---> http://www.jihadchat.com/index.php?showtopic=10605&pid=37441&st=0&

"Famous socialist politicians, from Lenin to Hitler to Mao, always had gigantic 'fearless leader' portraits everywhere. Nice to see that Obama is no exception. Sure, his politics are 'niceness fascism', but it all comes from the same poisonous well. Via the Obama Messiah blog."

To poster "Disagreed," I hear ya'. Living under dhimmi (this phrase can be googled) is not an option for me.

We agree to disagree. (Hope your knee is better.)

Alarmist statements and jingoism serve no useful purpose.

Mesapotania has been a battle ground since the Pharaohs built the pyramids.

Why should we sacrifice the best of the best there?

$128/barrel?

Time for a new direction.

If Sen Obama is going in the direction he states on the video, he can go by himself.

Slow our development of future combat systems


Wasn't he also one of the many who was Bush bashing about the troops not having the best equipment??? A not too long ago Commander In Chief also took a similar cost-cutting path WRT our national defense. I see a pattern here... Frown Frown


$128/barrel? The same Commander In Chief above had a chance to work on this too but he vetoed it around 1998. Applause

My enlistment runs out in Oct of this year. I'll be attended college after my tour. Obama wants to improve GI bill benefits. What he does with the USCG is none of my concern.

I'll be voting Obama.

Why as a self-professed libertarian would you do that when the political promises the good Senator makes regarding expansion of the Federal Government blatantly violate the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution?

Or are you not a Libertarian, but an Objectivist?

Thats a very good question.

From the VA website:

quote:
From the beginning, the English colonies in North America provided pensions for disabled veterans. The first law in the colonies on pensions, enacted in 1636 by Plymouth, provided money to those disabled in the colony's defense against Indians. Other colonies followed Plymouth's example.


Veteran's benefits went on to the revolutionary days were our founding fathers believed that compensating the new nation's soldiers were vitally important to national defense. Without the federal government sacrificing money to go toward veterans, people would not join the army or navy in the first place.
After WWII, when the first GI bill was established, the federal government paid 100% of college tuition. In the years that followed the second great war, the United State saw an explosive growth in prosperity. I believe that is partly because of the government financing college education for the millions of returning soldiers.

In conclusion, I think that veterans benefits are one of the keys to keeping this nation safe and prosperous.

And to address your question on why I find it justifiable for the federal government to subsidize college education for veterans; I believe that it is one of the programs that are vital to the modern world. Same reason why I believe that the Federal highway fund, while not defined in the constitution, provides more benefits to the nation than drawbacks.

I would also like to say that I lied.

I don't know if I'm going to be voting for Obama yet. The only way that I will vote for him is if I hold my nose and do so.

You see, as a Libertarian, I would much rather vote for someone who would prevent George W. Bush the Third from acceding to office. If I were to pick two people who would continue the expansion of the government (lets face it, McCain is just another power grabbing neocon who will expand the government), I would pick Obama. I like his platform better.

The truth is, Republicans are no longer the party for a smaller size government.

FWIW, I do not believe that VA benefits violate the Tenth Amendment...the rest of the expansionist programs Sen. Obama proposes MAY though (as have those of every other President since FDR).

So you are not bothered by any of it because something he proposes may benefit you personally? If so, that is indeed very Objectivist of you, and not Libertarian at all. I.e., every person for him or herself.

Not many Objectivists in public life anymore though , at least ones who aren't ashamed to admit it, are there? Even Alan Greenspan kept his secrets, well...secret. Wink

Good luck in school, but don't be surprised to find higher education a bit overated after serving in the military. Your life experience will be miles ahead of your peers

Respectfully,
Surface Force

Thanks for the good luck. Truth is, I'm leaning more toward staying in the reserve and perhaps going OCS once I get my degree. I'm a big fan of saving lives, and want to continue helping our mission.

And on the objectionist thing, I would just like to get my share after giving so much to my country. I'm proud of the Coast Guard, but I also realize my personal need to.

Hey Rob, we agree to disagree… what a surprise! (knee IS getting better)

But I do not want, nor am I willing to follow a racial bigot. Regardless of which race the individual hates, bigotry is NOT the new road we should follow! And I believe that the years of America bashing that Obama heard via his ‘faith’ is clouding his opinion of America and he and his bigoted do indeed feel like the US is evil. They are wrong. I believe there is evil in both Micelle and Barack’s hearts. Bigotry is evil, and they are filled with hate!


Weakening the nation will not bring oil prices down but it will set the table for another attack on our soil. Appearing weak after terrorists attacks against us lead to the attacks of 9/11. So, showing more weakness is a stupid idea.
