Is the Republican Party fomenting rebellion among the armed forces as a political tactic?
Is the Republican Party fomenting rebellion among the armed forces as a political tactic?

Alan Keyes' rant that soldiers should refuse orders given by President Obama has produced at least one tangible example. World Net Daily reports that Scott Easterling a U.S. soldier on active duty in Iraq has called President Obama an "impostor" in a statement in which he affirmed plans to join as plaintiff in a challenge to Obama's eligibility to be commander in chief.

The statement was publicized by California attorney Orly Taitz who, along with her Defend Our Freedom Foundation, is working on a series of legal cases seeking to uncover Obama's birth records and other documents that would reveal whether he meets the requirements of the U.S. Constitution.

"As an active-duty officer in the United States Army, I have grave concerns about the constitutional eligibility of Barack Hussein Obama to hold the office of president of the United States," wrote Scott Easterling in a "to-whom-it-may-concern" letter.

"Until Mr. Obama releases a 'vault copy' of his original birth certificate for public review, I will consider him neither my Commander in Chief nor my President, but rather, a usurper to the Office – an impostor," his statement said.

2. Ack. Dear Mr. Moore, the word you meant to use is foment- not forment.
Foment means to stir up opinion. Forment, afaik, is not a word at all. In any case, the idiots attempting to foment a spirit of rebellion against the prez, are doomed to fail miserably. fucking idiots.

8. When Truman integrated the services, his message was accept it
or leave.

President Obama is the Commander in Chief, accept it or leave.

11. Dismiss this thought at your peril--GOP is on a Stop Obama and
Stop HIM Early movement. They use any and every tactic.

Does anyone remember how they initially started when they destroyed
the Clinton Health Plan.

Lots of bluster and what appeared to be confusion. Never let them
fool you again.

Stop Obama and stop him early is Krystol's call.
