I am willing to bet, if I can put words in his mouth, that the man does not have it, but the office always does. There were a lot of members of the military that would not salute Clinton, but would salute the office. I figure we are going to see a repeat of that with Obama.

No President has my "fidelity", as I am no longer in uniform, and my obligation in that regard has been fully and faithfully discharged.

My concern now is whether I have the President's fidelity--a concern magnified by the recent election.

How so?

It is a reality that applies equally to all.  Choose your enemies carelessly and the end result will not be good.

Regardless of a man's station, he stands alone in the selection of his enemies. 

Not if the mans station is President of The United States os America...his enemies when assasination is being discussed are by definition my enemies
BTW Semper Fi...I asked you in my last post just what the fuck that means.Obviously I am aware of its definition,but at this point I wonder are you.Semper Fidelis...latin,translation Allways faithful,my question to you is this ,our newly elected President due and does he in fact have your fidelity.

I don't believe any President deserves the fidelity of the citizenry until he earns it.Certainly Pelosi, Reid and the rest of the democrat rat pack showed little "fidelity" to Bush while men were on the field of battle.    If I were in the military I would, of course, bow to the chain of command and the civilian leadership at the top of that chain...If I was unhappy with the Commander and Chief I would resign.  I'm willing to give the man I did not vote for the benefit of a honeymoon period to see more of his agenda.  I truly pray that my concerns, and those of almost half the population of voters, are wrong about his socialistic politics and the dangers to our democracy from radical neo-liberalism.  The country is bigger than any one of us and more important than us or the President.

I hope that he can stabilize the economy without driving us deeper into debt, but momentum is against him.  A bailout mentality is at hand, that the government can and should prop up failure and greed.

I also hope he can extricate us from Iraq and Afghanistan somehow without damaging our position in the Middle East.

And yet the military are supposed to answer to the people and to the governement. Not the other way around.

They are still people and as such their respect has to be earned. Clinton could not do so and, in fact, earned their disrespect by his actions. I am expecting Obama will surpass Clinton in this regard. With some he already has.

There was nothing in any major media but there were numerous stories on blogs claiming the KKK endorsed Obama in the primary because they apparently hated Hilary more than they hated the idea of electing a black man.

A lot of these claims were on white supremist sites, which I guess tends to authenticate it.

There was also speculation that the endorsement was made in the hopes that he would be assassinated and start the race war they have long promoted.

As far as I know, they didn't take a position in the general election.

I have a good friend that firmly believes that President Elect Obama will not make it to election and most defiantly will not serve out his term. She believes that there are too many Racists, Skin Heads, Nazis, Klan and Aryan Brothers out there that will eventually shoot him. Consider that Obama was the earliest presidential candidate ever to receive Secret Service protection.

I personally hope for the following things:
  1. that he will get the economy back on track
  2. that he will repair our foreign relations, not only with our friends but our enemies
  3. That he will nail Osama Bin Ladin to a tree like they did in the Conan the Barbarian movie
  4. That he will be the first president to be honest with the American people about contact with ET




I doubt that, Obama is a smart guy and has "assasination insurance" JOE BIDEN! "Dun, Dun, Dun!"

Well Mike, if that was my post to michael you were responding to, I'm not addressing it cavalierly just factually.

He asked and I answered. 

No one is trying to promote the possibility but it isn't in any way helpful to try to pretend the possibility isn't there and to a higher degree because of his race.

Rule it was not you I was responding to,rather some others that had posted in an almost gleeful manner concerning that possibility.

We will have at least one domestic terrorist act within six months of his swearing in. Nations that normally endorse and engage in terrorism will become more bold. Israel will be threatened as well and feel the need to respond with greater shows of force.

The economy will continue to weaken. Unemployment will reach an all time high. Every "stimulus" package will cause more economic damage. He will break his campaign promise on lower taxes within two years.

He will not be elected for a second term, assuming he survives his first. The political landscape will take a turn, reversing views once again.


Whether we have a terrorist act within 6 months will  happen no matter who was elected president.  However, I sense in Obama a strength to conduct a scorched earth response to evil doers and the first nation bellying up to the bar to commit a terrorist agenda may end up being reduced to the stone age.  Wanting to get out of a situation in which our military is being ground up being a police force is not necessarily a trait of a pacifist.

If i can come up with it I might be able to answer your question. I would doubt that they would say too much so that they can avoid a charge of terroristic threat but where the members can post, I would bet there are few unkind threats made.
They are all such splinter groups and have such a dislike for one another that as a monement they aren't very effective.
