In the unlikely event that Trump is elected, and the far less likely event he actually follows through on his campaign promises, there is a slight problem.
Remember Trump promised both waterboarding and worse, and also vowed to kill not only terrorists, but their families as well. Should Trump actually try to implement these policies he will lose the support of the military. Believe it or not the US military is made up of a rough cross section of society and not of remorseless automatons as some B- grade movies would have it. I was in the military, I know whereof I speak. But you don't have to take my word for it -- see this article and video. (tried direct kink to video, nothing but error messages) Skip to at around the 1:00 minute mark in video if pressed for time. Do you know what happens when a national leader loses the support if the military? Ask those dictators and some elected presidents can tell you -- provided they are still alive. Should Trump supporters achieve their goals, they may actually succeed in sort-of-electing the next two presidents -- Donald Trump and Provisional President General Joseph F. Dunford, Jr. Read not to contradict and confute, not to believe and take for granted, not to find talk and discourse, but to weigh and consider. - Francis Bacon

Faith writes: Islam shouldn't have the benefit of tax exempt status anyway, being the devil's own invention, nor any religion other than Christianity. Nor should the Ford, Carnegie and Rockefeller foundations which all financed the rewriting of textbooks for American schools back in the early part of the last century to brainwash everybody into accepting Communism. Which is why everybody at EvC is a socialist and you don't even know you're brainwashed. If Islam loses it's tax exempt status because it is the devil's own invention then why should Christianity not also lose tax exempt status for being the devil's own invention? Since Jesus was a Communist and Socialist should US Christians also be Communists and Socialists? You do understand that the Communist Party USA is a valid organization and has been in the US since 1919? You do know that the Communist Party USA does not oppose religions, any religions.Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!

Spoken like the most brainwashed of the brainwashed. The only true thing you said is how long the Communist Party has been in the USA, doing its dirty work of subversion.
I pray against all this of course but prophecy is pretty clear where we're headed and it may be too late.

So in other words you want to overthrow the Constitution and implement biblical law, christian sharia.
Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts "God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.

Thought I already said what I want, and I suspect that even you with your PC-shackled mind understood it: to reinstate the Constitution as it was originally intended and in fact applied for the first century or so.

That would not be true.

We interrupt this thread for a important announcement of actual on-topic news.
In the South Carolina Primary: Hillary 73.5%Bernie 26.0% The moderate and conservative democrats turned out quite heavily for Hillary leaving Bernie out in the cold. Interesting to me that in the S. Car primaries there were a total of about 367,000 votes cast to the Dems and about 738,000 to the Reps. Super Tuesday March 1: AlabamaAlaska (Reps only) Am Samoa Arkansas Colorado Georgia Massachusetts Minnesota Oklahoma Tennessee Texas Vermont Virginia Ex-patriots abroad (Dems only) We now return you to your regular squabbling already in progress.

The moderate and conservative democrats turned out quite heavily for Hillary leaving Bernie out in the cold. Super Tuesday is dominated by states which seem more similar to South Carolina than they do to New Hampshire. Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also in prison. Thoreau: Civil Disobedience (1846) History will have to record that the greatest tragedy of this period of social transition was not the strident clamor of the bad people, but the appalling silence of the good people.

Super Tuesday is Hillary time.
On the other side it is also the time the entire country breathes a collective sigh of relief or collectively shits in its pants. I'm buying shares in Kimberly-Clark. Edited by AZPaul3, : No reason given.

IMHO he wold lose the support of most but not all of the military, and the remainder would carry out his orders. There's always somebody. John Yoo. General Buck Turgidson ;-).

Most of these guys are talking trash about what they would or would not do with regard to pursuing military objectives. With the exception of the senators, none of these guys have any significant foreign policy experience of any kind. The governors in particular have less experience at foreign policy than did Palin because they cannot see any foreign countries from their house. And even the senators are arm chairing it when they talk about their military objectives.
The only support from the military that means anything are the opinions of the top generals. For the rest of the military, when they disagree, they have to vote with their feet by leaving the service, and they are generally easily replaced.

And some say they would not enact certain acts by Trump. And now Mitch McConnell is saying

Amusingly Trump supporters now distrust Faux Noise Nutwerk as much as they distrust the "mainstream" media.
It certainly seems like things are imploding in regression-world. LOLby our ability to understand Rebel☮American☆Zen☯Deist ... to learn ... to think ... to live ... to laugh ... to share. Join the effort to solve medical problems, AIDS/HIV, Cancer and more with Team EvC! (click) |
