Pentagon report in May concluded that (as was predicted) 74 of
534 prisoners released from Guantanamo Bay returned to militant
activity—a recidivism rate of 14%, or about 1 in 7. The little we
knew about this man Obama, and what is beginning to leak about his
past, screams radical Marxist revolutionary. He is, in the view of
many, a "Clear and Present Danger" to the security of the United
States. Just how many will determine the course of our history.

Potential
conflicts in these oaths are apparent. The U.S. led Nuremberg
Trials addressed such conflicts. With his premature withdrawal
from Iraq (as he promised his cult he would) that country's
nascent democracy is primed to fail. We are fighting a
deadly war in Afghanistan like it was a drug bust in L.A., with more
attention paid to the rights of the criminal than with the crime.
POWs have bail bondsmen.
Eighteen months from now Americans will be receiving a can of coffee
for Christmas, and be damned glad to have it. Retirement nest
eggs will have disappeared, and tax collectors will be hounding
everyone for the last scraps. Only government employees will have
the job security of gummint IOUs. Add to this mix the question of
Obama's very legitimacy. Despite a near media blackout on the subject,
a June poll showed that 49.3% of us know, and are 'troubled,' by
Obama's refusal to release his birth certificate. As Oath of
Office conflicts become more pronounced, all this will percolate.
A military coup was unthinkable even a year ago, but then so was a
communist government, where untold numbers of fraudulently elected
members of congress hold sway. Unlike Iraq, we are a democratic
republic of long standing, and will not collapse without a whimper.
God help us all - and I don't mean the government's god.
