Tea Party Marine who criticised Obama should be dismissed, finds military board

Via Billy

Sergeant Gary Stein found to have committed misconduct over his comments about the president

He faces an other-than-honourable discharge, meaning he will lose benefits and be barred from military bases

Defence attorney's claim the Marine's First Amendment rights have been breached

A military board has recommended dismissal for the Tea Party Marine who wrote on Facebook that he would not follow orders from President Obama.

A Marine Corps administrative board found that Sergeant Gary Stein had committed misconduct with his online campaign against the president.

After a daylong hearing at Camp Pendleton, California, board also recommended that Stein's discharge from the military be on an other-than-honorable basis.

That would mean that the disgraced sergeant would lose his benefits and would not be allowed back on any military base.

Stein's lawyers had argued that the 9-year Marine, whose service was to end in four months, was expressing his personal views and exercising his First Amendment rights.

Republicans in No Mind to Prevent War

Led by former-President John Tyler of Virginia, who had as a young man met Thomas Jefferson, the Washington Peace Convention vainly sought compromise with intransigent Republicans of the North. The latter preferred bloodshed to peace, and used the independence movement of the South as a pretext for war.

North Carolina War Between the States Sesquicentennial Commission

Republicans in No Mind to Prevent War:

“In the dark hours of January, 1861, when the Cotton States were withdrawing from the Union, the eyes of many turned to [attorney George Davis of Wilmington] for inspiration and guidance; and when the North Carolina Assembly appointed delegates to a National Convention, seeking some settlement of the sectional issues that would restore and preserve the Union, Mr. Davis was selected as one of them, his associates being Chief Justice [Thomas] Ruffin, Governor [John] Morehead, Governor [David] Reid, and Daniel M. Barringer.

The Convention met at Washington February 4th, and was attended by delegates from nearly every State except those on the Pacific, and those that had seceded. At the outset, however, Salmon P. Chase [of Ohio] negatived the idea that the North would make any concession, declaring that “the election must be regarded as a triumph of principles cherished in the hearts of the people of the Free States, while Mr. Lincoln urged his friends, “No step backward.”

All resolutions were referred to a grand committee. Nine days passed with no report. At length, on the tenth day, the committee reported a proposition for a constitutional amendment composed of seven sections. Two weeks elapsed in secret session, the South awaiting the result of its appeal to the Union sentiment of the North – in anxious suspense.

On the 27th Mr. Davis telegraphed: “The Convention has just adjourned. North Carolina voted against every article except one.” In the Convention each State had a single vote, cast by a majority of its delegates. Davis, Reid and Barringer determined the action of North Carolina, Ruffin and Morehead accepting the propositions, not because they were at all satisfactory, but with the hope of preventing war.

The Republicans in Congress, however, had no mind to prevent war. [Zachariah] Chandler, of Michigan, gave voice to their purposes when he declared in the Senate: “No concession; no compromise; aye! Gove us strife, even blood, before a yielding to the demands of traitorous insolence!”

Union sentiment was in the ascendant in North Carolina [in February, 1861]; but among the people of the Cape Fear section the hope of an amicable adjustment had almost faded away. On the return of Mr. Davis the citizens of Wilmington invited him to address them, and he immediately complied. He declared that he had gone to the Peace Convention determined to exhaust every honorable means to obtain a fair, honorable and final settlement of existing difficulties. He had striven to that end, to the best of his abilities, but had been unsuccessful, for he “could never accept the plan adopted by the Convention as consistent with the rights, the interests, or the dignity of North Carolina.”

The recommendations of the Peace Convention, as favorable as it was to the North, however, was not accepted by the malignants in Congress. President [James] Buchanan had declared that he would never embrue his hands in the blood of his countrymen; but after a fortnight of vacillation, war was determined on by Mr. Lincoln and his cabinet….When it came – when the only question presented was whether we should fight with or against the South – all differences among our people ceased.”

‘We Should Be Ashamed of Ourselves That Our Media is Convicting This Man’: Ted Nugent Speaks on Trayvon Martin

Conservative rocker Ted Nugent appeared on radio talk show host Mike Broomhead’s show today to discuss everything from Whitney Houston’s untimely death to the Trayvon Martin case. And to no one’s surprise, he didn’t mince words on any of the topics involved. Along with the national media generally, Nugent singled out Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and Piers Morgan as villains in the Trayvon Martin case.

“The only time a black life matters to Al Sharpton is when a black person is killed by maybe – not a Hispanic, but a white Hispanic. Mike, you and I couldn’t make this stuff up,” Nugent thundered in concluding his remaks on the Martin case. His remarks on Whitney Houston‘s friends weren’t much more tame.

NBC Probe: Deceitful Zimmerman Editor Identified

An internal NBC News probe has determined a "seasoned" producer was to blame for a misleading clip of a 911 call that the network broadcast during its coverage of the Trayvon Martin shooting, according to two sources at the network.

NBC News brass interviewed more than half a dozen staffers during its investigation of the misleadingly edited 911 call placed by George Zimmerman just before he shot the unarmed Florida teenager, said the sources, one of whom is an executive at the network.

The clip aired on the network's flagship "Today" morning show last week.

The edit made it appear that Zimmerman immediately told police that Martin was black, when, in fact, the full tape reveals that the neighborhood watch captain only did so when responding to a question posed by a dispatcher.

There was no clear indication on Thursday of what, if any, disciplinary actions would be taken against the producer or other staff involved in the incident.

Confederate History Month has come under fire from those most in need of it

Wednesday, April 4, 2012 11:51 AM CDT

CHRISTINE BARR

In addition to being Women’s History Month, April is, for many Southern states, Confederate History Month.

On this, the sesquicentennial of the Late Unpleasantness, it is a commemoration which has come under fire from those most in need of it.

“Remember, it is your duty to see that the true history of the South is presented to future generations.”

Gen. Stephen D. Lee
Sons of Confederate Veterans

It confounds those who can only respond with “WE won the war — get over it” that all these years later that there remains a contingent of highly educated, highly motivated scholars, historians and everyday people who refuse to “get over” the trampling of the U.S. Constitution and the betrayal of the principles of the first American Revolution.

Try as they might, the enemies of the truth cannot stamp out the desire of the true sons and daughters of the Confederacy to make sure their ancestors’ sacrifices and motivation are not forgotten. Confederate history is important because it is American history; to try and sweep it under the rug is to ignore the constitutional issues which to this day underlie many of the political issues of today.

But there are those who are trying their absolute best to pretend that the story of the War Between the States can be told from one perspective, and one only. One of the main ways they are attempting to do this is by continuing their attacks on the flags of the Confederate States of America.

In Richmond, Va., the last capital of the CSA, is the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts.. It was built on the grounds of the Robert E. Lee Camp 1, known popularly as the “Old Soldiers’ Home,” opened in 1884 and purchased and supported by the donations of Union and Confederate veterans.

New sheriff calls for roundup of Obama records

A presentation by WND’s Jerome Corsi to a standing-room-only crowd has convinced a New Jersey lawmaker and a local sheriff that the issue of President Obama’s eligibility for office “will have to be addressed.”

“The easiest way to put this to rest is to have the records unsealed,” Morris County Sheriff Ed Rochford told the Huffington Post in an email following the April 4 event in Morristown. “Mr. Corsi made a very convincing argument that President Obama may not be a natural born citizen of the United States.”

Likewise, New Jersey Assemblyman Anthony Bucco, R-Boonton, said Corsi’s speech leaves doubts about Obama’s citizenship status. He told the website it is not his place to determine whether Obama is a citizen, and he believes “a higher authority” must resolve the issue.

“I am not in a position to say what he put up on screen is demonstrative of evidence; that is for the court of law,” Bucco said. “This issue has not resolved itself. It won’t until some higher authority is involved.”

False Flag Attack

Using the expertise he learned so well during the WBTS killing elderly men, women and children of all colors.

Via The Dorkfish Express

The stagecoach bounced along the uneven trail through Indian lands. A year ago there would have been danger from Indians. But Ulysses Grant had sent General Philip Henry Sheridan, who had brought the horrors of war to Confederate civilians, to annihilate the plains Indians.

In his winter campaign of 1868-69, Sheridan attacked the Cheyenne, Kiowa, and Comanche tribes in their winter quarters, killing women and children and taking the Indians’ supplies and livestock. In Congressional testimony, Sheridan advocated the slaughter of the vast herds of bison in order to deprive Indians of food.

Having turned professional hunters loose on Indian lands, Sheridan wrote: “Let them kill, skin and sell until the buffalo is exterminated.” For his proficiency in war crimes, Sheridan was made commanding general of the U.S. Army.
