GAFFNEY: Send away the Marines?
Force review could leave the Corps high and dry
By Frank J. Gaffney Jr. -The Washington Times
6:30 p.m., Monday, September 13, 2010Illustration: USMC
"Send in the Marines!" For many generations, successive U.S. presidents have given those orders, from early in our nation's history in places like Montezuma's palaces in Mexico to the Barbary pirates' shores of Tripoli, and more recently from the halls of Saddam Hussein in Iraq to the pirate-infested coast of Somalia.
Of late, the question occurs: Will Barack Obama be the first American president to say, "Send away the Marines" - as in permanently?
That is a not-unreasonable inference to draw from the myriad steps being taken by the Obama Defense Department at the moment - steps that could threaten the future viability of the Marine Corps. Consider the following examples: .........

I hope this is nothing more than political rumor meant to go against Obama![Bang]

Harry Truman tried something like this once; he was too enamored with the new Atomic Age and thought that boots on the ground were obsolete...but, the Korean War happened, and cemented the Corps' place in the military

I dont want to predict the outcome...but...I would think the Commandant would then Take over the World. First he would have the current occupants of the whitehouse deported and the Commandant would have the white house fumigated. Then painted Scarlet and Gold. From there he would administer Justice. Swiftly and one sided in US Citizens best interest. I am just speculating, but I think He would have 545 people Round up and Hung, for crimes against America. Then and only then we might have world peace.
He would probably go ahead and give one way tickets to all the America haters living here.

Even though I was Army, I'll fight for the USMC any day. I have a nephew that just went to USMC boot camp on Sept 7.
Listening to Glenn Beck yesterday on the radio, I heard a very interesting discussion on Obama by author Dinesh S'Souza and his upcoming book "The Roots of Obama's Rage". Fascinating theory that seems to explain a lot if not all of Obama's actions.

That rumor has been around for years, I am former Army, but I still certainly see the validity of the Marines, even though they aren't swinging from ropes onto other ships anymore, well maybe they are, I have no idea.
Still I hope it is just Rumor, that is a deep part of our American heritage.
Ok...everyone tighten the straps on your tinfoil hats, I have a conspiracy theory.....
Think back to fall of the Soviet Union....Mikhail Gorbachev....a rather anonymous politician, with limited experience, if elected to the highest office in the land, riding on a wave of "hope and change", and within 10 years, the 2nd largest superpower in the world disintegrates.
Sound at all familiar?
I am convinced that Gorbachev was a CIA plant, positioned over many years to accomplish the destruction of the Soviet Union.
I am equally convinced that Mr. Obama (who's career has a number of scary parallels) is also acting on behalf of a foreign power.
There you have it, your conspiracy theory for the day.

Wouldn't happen here. They had a command economy that was in shambles. We are nowhere close to as bad as they had it. The government also had no money. They were colonizing the world but instead of the traditional "colonies send the motherland resources and money" the USSR was subsidizing a bunch of crappy countries with little to no natural resources. Their military was only about 1/4 as strong as they made it seem. Missiles were really telephone poles etc. It was all pretend, not real, didn't exist.
Obama isn't acting on behalf of a foreign power. That would never happen here. Our intelligence is too good to let that happen. Maybe at lower level positions but not for POTUS. Plus, we have checks and balances, something the USSR did not have. They had rigged "elections" and "figure heads". The powers that were in the Soviet Union could do whatever they wanted with no repercussions. Obama isn't a figure head for some dark organization, he will get voted out in two years. Not the same, not even close.
ETA: Gorbachev was not a CIA plant, it would have fallen much quicker than it did if he was. And even if he was, he wasn't making the decisions over there. People behind the scenes were pulling the strings. Just like in Iran today.

honestly during the 2 enlistments I did, this was brought up. under both Bush 1 and Clinton. They fear us, so they want to destroy us. They cant give us our own department, because we would take over the world. you know the drill.
of course this is about money. if they just disbanded the judicial, legislative and obama branch, there would be plenty of money for the Corps.

The Inter-Branch rivalry is all fun and Games... Hell we used to go down looking for marines to fight with. but remember this:
When you step in-between two brothers fighting, you lose.
When you pick a fight with one of us, you fight all of us.

Listening to Glenn Beck yesterday on the radio, I heard a very interesting discussion on Obama by author Dinesh S'Souza and his upcoming book "The Roots of Obama's Rage". Fascinating theory that seems to explain a lot if not all of Obama's actions.
May I quote some from MAUREEN DOWD,THE NEW YORK TIMES OP-ED,Wed,Sept. 15 2010.
"Newt Gingrich,the conservative who fancies himself a historian and visonary did not use his critical faculties to resist his party's lunacy but instead has embraced it.He has given a full-throated endorsement to a dangerously irresponsible and un-Christian theory by Ann Coulter-in pants Dinesh D' Souza."
"So the smear artists are claiming not only that the president is a socialist but that he suffers from a socialism gene"
"Contributing to the death of reason just as he did in 2007 when D'Souza wrote that "the cultural left in this country is responsible for causing 9/11,"he argues that "from a very young age and thru his formative years,Obama learned to see America as a force for global domination and destruction."
"Playing into the bigotry of birthers and haters who paint Obama as "the other," D'Souza writes that the president was raised offshore,spending "his formative years" off the American mainland."
"The idea that there's something illegitimate about anticolonism on the part of a Kenyan man in the 1940's,50's and 60's is stupid.And it's inconsistent to accuse a president who's raining drones on bad guys in Pakistan,Somalia and Yemen of inherited anticolonial ideology."
"If the conservatives are so interested in psychoanalyzing father and son relationships,why didn't they do so back when W. was rushing to avenge and one-up his father by finishing what daddy started with Saddam."
"It's Newt and D'Souza and their ilk who put America at risk." Commenting on Newt's movie and website.
I dont want to predict the outcome...but...I would think the Commandant would then Take over the World. First he would have the current occupants of the whitehouse deported and the Commandant would have the white house fumigated. Then painted Scarlet and Gold. From there he would administer Justice. Swiftly and one sided in US Citizens best interest. I am just speculating, but I think He would have 545 people Round up and Hung, for crimes against America.

First order of business: in order to ensure that violent insurgency and other acts of terrorism by so-called 'loyalists' and other America haters is kept to a minimum, the Bill of Rights is hereby suspended. All firearms must be turned in at designated collection points. Anyone caught in possession of a firearm will be deemed an America hater and subject to summary execution without trial or right of appeal.
No thanks.

that is what jake practices. since he came here as an advance landing party. spewing liberalism and islam.
and the Marine commandant, would not take American civil liberties away. he spent his LIFE making sure we keep them. so people like you can fill out some paperwork, move and instantly get to enjoy freedom. and have you ever done anything for America? i doubt it.
oh yeah, i really tried all this time to never mix it up with the few of you libtards, but i couldnt help it anymore.
Hey look, a different opinion! I should start calling names, it's beneficial to the discussion!
Ahh, internets.

PS: I think everyone can wait to get their panties in a twist until after an actual announcement of something like this came. Because it seems pretty f'n unlikely that even a "libtard" like Obama would axe the Marines.

Damn straight, brother.
Bottom line is, the Army ain't the Marines. The Marines have their mission and the Army has theirs. Don't let the fact that the Marines were used like Army in Iraq confuse you. 'Course, they still kicked the crap out of the insurgents......

I'm trying to remember the name of the Act, but I just woke up and have to get ready for work. But, there is an act that passed through congress and was signed that makes the US Marine Corps a permanent service. So, needless to say, this is just some stupid rumor. Even IF he wanted to, he wouldn't be able to.

I fucking hate that canal also. 8 hours at sea and anchor detail in the pouring rain.
honestly during the 2 enlistments I did, this was brought up. under both Bush 1 and Clinton. They fear us, so they want to destroy us. They cant give us our own department, because we would take over the world. you know the drill.

Why,so you can be free to run your own brand of imperialism and tyranny?
