Fuming Tea Party-ers, ready to fight, show up at Small Wars Journal
The Tea Party unleashed the full measure of its venom on Small Wars Journal today, after discovering Colonel Kevn Benson’s think piece on the US military fighting a future insurrection in Darlington, SC.
The article, a short one, is eclipsed by its effect.
And so the fumes and spittle-flecked rage coming from the Tea Party deserves mention twice today. They detest being painted as bigots and then do everything they must to convince that the assessment is accurate. You see, it’s always the liberty-loving white guys who are the truly persecuted.
Selected best bits:
Just plain garbage. Nothing but a bunch of bigoted and sterotypical LIES told by a person with no credibility and all in attempt to get others to believe his cons. Typical power-hungry thug who just so happened to join the military all so they could kill. You f’in meet the definition of LIBERAL to the T.
If this scenero were to ever come true, rest assured, people like you will be strung up and hanged on the court house lawn for all to see.
Those who would actually need to invoke the Insurrecton Act would already have conducted the affairs of their offices in such a patently un-American, unethical, illegal, unconstitutional and treasonous manner (anybody we know?) that the elected official should uave already been arrested and put on trial. Only if for a protracted period the citizenry feels patriotically obligated to follow the constitution (the part about abolishing a corrupted government) to the point where knowing the US military will become involved, do it anyway.
Well, here’s your sign: NorthCom, “Homeland” security (wtf???), TSA, FEMA, the 1033 program, Katrina response, drones overflying sovereign borders, car license plates being replace with RFID chips, UN treaties even discussed as possibly being ratified impacting Americans on U.S. soil, unhooking the dollar from oil (look it up; Nixon did us a favor back then), dogs and cats living together, real wrath of God type stuff. And oh, yeah, absence of God.
It is pretty clear where the Author’s politics lie. This whole scenario starts off with the defeat of Obama and an end to his policies.
The intensity of the comments to this article is an interesting clinical study in perceptions and generic response, similar to prodding a tightly coiled and very venomous snake that lies hidden in the shadows.We know the ‘snake’ is there but we do not like to think about its presence.
I am extremely offended by this article. Col. Benson is clearly writing to incite an insurrection here in South Carolina.
Suppose I taught the same course at Leavenworth, and created a scenario where the popular Governor of South Carolina, the Hon. Nikki Haley, was elected president of the United States and Rev. Jessie Jackson (born in Greenville, South Carolina)invaded the state with an army of NAACP types, took over our capitol at Columbia and held president-elect Nikki Haley hostage. Then my old unit from Vietnam, the 101st Airborne Division (Airmobile) had to be recalled from the Middle East to put down the NAACP insurrection, rescue the president elect, and hang the Rev. Jessie Jackson for treason? …
Col. Benson, next time you teach your insane course at Leavenworth, I suggest you start off by showing your officers the movie THE PATRIOT starring Mel Gibson. That will give them a good idea of what would be waiting for them here if they decided to invade South Carolina and treat us like we were Bosnia. Have you ever heard of the Swamp Fox, Francis Marion? He operated not too far from Darlington. Do you know what we did to British Major Tarleton at Cowpens? Do you know that Lt. Col. William Barrett Travis was born down the road from here at Abbyville, South Carolina? Have you ever read his last letter from the Alamo?
Have you considered how you are going to get your federal troops from where they are now, to Darlington, SC? How do you plan to secure your supply lines? Do you really think you will have an easy time in North Carolina or Georgia?
