Anyway, as a Veteran of the Military I can tell you that Obama is NOT an enemy of the Constitution. You would do well to know what the hell you're talking about before you start trying to incite violence on the POTUS.
Oh...we older soldiers know alright. You never got one ^ in the mail, at the VA, or anywhere? Read up....


We don't give a damn what HE thinks about it either.

No. You are. I didn't bring that up. You did.

I'm saying that civil disobedience is neither violence nor insurrection.

your point is noted. I misread your comment.

I do however disagree.

You are comparing MLK's civil disobedience (that was segregating Americans) to one persons idea of what socialism is.

i cant say exactly what his ideas are as he didnt statement. My point is for home to explain what exactly he sees as socialist.

It is a bloodless event.

The OP, as I read it, wants to know whether some would go so far as to engage in civil disobedience were Obama's putative socialist excesses to cross some line. Others interpreted 'civil disobedience' as 'violence' and 'insurrection', either to mischaracterize the OP's question or because they didn't understand it. Civil dsobedience is neither violent nor insurrective. It's other name is 'peaceable assembly to petition the government for the redress if grievances'. Should civil disobedience turn violent it's a whole 'nother kettle of fish with seperate and distinct justifications being necessary. I would defend the right of the people disobey unjust laws. Violence is another matter.

I don't see what you're trying to prove or get at here. Also what are you implying with using " ^ " in your sentence structure?
