Comments on: Obama – just another military hating Democrat http://www.kneedeepinthehooah.com/2009/03/obama-just-another-military-hating-democrat Mon, 01 Feb 2010 22:46:11 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Hank http://www.kneedeepinthehooah.com/2009/03/obama-just-another-military-hating-democrat/comment-page-1#comment-3803 Hank Tue, 17 Mar 2009 15:22:42 +0000 http://www.kneedeepinthehooah.com/?p=3638#comment-3803 Moral congruency - and why fundamentally character is ultimately so important. I think it's reasonable to assume that a good portion of the military voting population was sitting on the fence until General Colin Powell gave his endorsement. For some it was a very confusing signal from a man whom many of my friends had considered a very viable candidate for President himself. As this comes full circle, that is the prediction of what many have warned would happen, I wonder if General Powell has any regrets. We have abandoned our flag and our constitution. I, along with the majority of my peers, bit my tongue while on Joint Staff when President Clinton was Commander In Chief. His indiscretions with an intern under any reasonable review would have gotten any officer, any military member, court-martialled and not for reasons sensationalized. The program itself subordinates a young intern under very unique circumstances that imply special confidence, mentorship, and trust. If what is being reported is true regarding President Obama and his abandonment of Veterans, then those in the military who were brided to him through General Powell's endorsement and ultimately voted for him, have become President Obama's metaphorical whore. It was the Tree of Liberty that was to be sprinkled with the blood of the Patriots from time to time not the President's Garden of Socialism. What has this nation come to if we abandoned our men and women in uniform? With Utmost Respect ~ Semper Fi, Hank Moral congruency – and why fundamentally character is ultimately so important.
