Militia group calls for Obama's assassination

I might point out the fact that Jesus probably wasn't a fan of militias.

He was a big fan of the Isrealite armies, so you're probably mistaken.
 
You don't know what your'e talking about.

ox·y·mo·ron noun
: a combination of words that have opposite or very different meanings

The definition of a oxymoron doesn't include your obscure and arbitrary personal opinions.

Words like " Jumbo Shrimp " or phrases like " A fine mess" where the definition of the words included are universal, and not dependent on some twisted liberals perceptions.

Now, try to educate yourself a bit before running head long into public embarrassment.....again.

Back when I was in Army ROTC in the 60's, everybody's favorite oxymoron was "military intelligence." :mrgreen:

A 'contradiction in terms' is an easy way to describe it. Rather like that describing American Christian militia and patriot or whatever. Simply some (perhaps) contradicting terms.

So, is it that you think Christians can't be patriots, or what?
 
Really? Didn't he tell his followers to sell their cloaks and buy swords, which were the infantryman's standard issue individual arm?
What would those arms be for if not for a militia-style defense?

Two swords. Just two, because then technically he was with an"band" of "brigands" who would get arrested and that would lead to the fulfillment of prophecy.

he wasn't instructing a large group of people to arm themselves. He was kinda doing the opposite: only getting enough weapons to meet a technicality.

"Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword."
 
Christian militia calls for Obama

The Christian American Patriots Militia is openly calling for the assassination of President Barack Obama on their Facebook page. The Christian militia calls Obama a “dictator,” and claims the “authority to kill Obama comes from the 2nd Amendment of our Constitution.”


Scumbags.

Arrest them all

Meanwhile progressives openly called/call for the assassination of Bush - they even made movies about it...

Obama makes George Bush look like an anarchist...

What do you expect is going to happen when Obama ignores the constitution and manipulates laws to favor socialist ideas? oh not to mention Obama and his cronies in appointed positions that blatantly attack organized groups opposed to him.

The problem tho is that offing Obama would do no good - Biden is twice as radical as Obama and half as smart...

As much as I don't like to admit it - Obama is the best in the line of command for president..
 
So, is it that you think Christians can't be patriots, or what?

No, I know that they CAN be patriots in many cases. The problems arise when some are asked to put country before religion, and that can apply to virtually any religion.

General Boykin and a few others come to mind, singing "Onward Christian Soldiers" and inspiring troops to fight for religious nonsense instead of for their country.

Do they have a forum, I don't do FB.

"Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword."
And yet he told them to go sell their cloaks and buy weapons. He had no need to do that did he?

If it was just brigands he could have told them to go buy some daggars. He didn't. "Go sell your cloaks and buy some M-16s and plenty of ammo."

Your explanation of the story is self serving. I think it is a lie. I think you are telling it as it was written. I think the story itself is a lie.

Oh, so they CAN be patriots, they just have to take care not to offend YOU with their religiosity. Got it.

God, Country, Corp.

God is above country. God rules the universe, the country is only a small part of one planet.

It is only nonsense to you and some others. Whether it is nonsense is often based upon your own point of view. "There are no atheist in fox holes" is a very old military maxim. When you are under the gun and taking incoming, you pray. Either to God as you know him or some other higher power. I've never heard of one praying to the President. While safe and sound at home, it is easy to ridicule those who believe in God. Try a tour in a combat zone. God, gods, or some higher power is very important to those in immediate danger and to soldiers, always has been.

and to DVSentinel too:

Having been raised and educated Roman Catholic, I am not offended by religiosity or religion. My sister and mother still practice it, though I do not. No, I'm not offended by it in the least. I am able to shake the hands of the religious and wish them all the best, and mean it.

I just wish they would keep it in the church and out of the statehouse and politics. But I wish I would win the Lottery too, so I'm well aware that if wishes were horses, beggars would ride. :)

I acknowledge the God Thing, but I've been influenced by the eastern religions and think that we are all God.

God before Country? I suppose that's OK, but the trouble comes up with so damn many different ideas of who is God, what is God, etc.

I'm old fashioned and think that our military should be properly used to defend this country. Quasi religious wars with a decidedly religious overtone, reminiscent of the Crusades, is not my idea of defending this country.

So, discussion wise we're way off topic and have opened a can of worms, but I appreciate the feedback. :peace

Well, I'll only say one thing then let it go.

Our struggle with Islamic radicals is Nothing like the crusades unless you are equating the Islamic barbarians as the crusaders.

I was commissioned at Fort Bragg back in the Summer of '69 and made it to RVN by June of '70.

In those days we were fighting the dangerous communists, who threatened (we were told) to take over the entire frigging world. Domino Theory and all that pap.

The events of 11 September were staged events, a False Flag operation of epic proportions. They represent a fraud bigger than the Domino Theory.

So, knowing a few peaceful and productive muslims here in the US, I cannot get all worked up about the promoted theory that muslims are a threat. That is nonsense promoted by Israeli interests who positively hate the muslims. :peace

Not really. I've been to Iraq three times.

This (dictatorial) behaviors from the office of the presidency is an evolving trend that has been brewing for sometime. It will be worse with the next president regardless of his/her party. Assassination is stupid, illegal and not sanctioned by the second amendment. Because this Christian group had no problem with Bush while powers were being concentrated to the executive branch it continued and is increasing and as stated will only get worse.

Assassination itself is not stupid. It is just often badly abused, ill thought out, poorly timed and rarely ever works the way the assassin thinks it will. It is even more stupid in a Democracy where the actual candidate/politician is of any real value. Kill a Dem, and in most Districts another Dem will still be elected. The Kennedy assassination did very little good for the country and gave Johnson the White House for four years he would of never had otherwise.

If Obama was had been assassinated when he was like Hilary today, presumed heir (of course he never really was until the primaries) it would of made sense. But while in office, it doesn't make any sense. The only way to actually initiate any possible political change, a group would have to hit him and Biden both, near simultaneously. Not likely to be able to be carried off. Even then, Bonehead Boehner would still have a deadlocked congress and couldn't do a thing except reign in rogue agencies like the EPA and erase Executive orders.
 
I agree with that..... I've protested with the Tea Party, and I don't believe they have gone far enough..... I don't believe a bunch of people standing and talking on a microphone can make much of a difference.... When you're benevolent no one pays attention, and when they do you get mocked...

Maybe they will get the message when 300,000 + gun owners march to DC with riffles and side arms strapped to their backs and waist.

What the **** could anyone do about that? there is not enough military or cops to even attempt to stop a peaceful march such as that...

Tear gas can make grown men cry. :)

I was just trying to say that assassination is not the answer. Americans have been allowing presidents to get away with violating our constitution for sometime. Richard Nixon already believed that the president could not do anything illegal. Keep presidents feet to the fire and demand constitutional respect from the beginning and assassination need never be an option. We've had four presidents assassinated and in neither incident was it good for America.
