A huge pity that West Point no longer teaches critical thinking skills, anymore. The reason for this must be the large influx of affirmative action cadets into the academy, whose minds must be directed into seeing the 'far-right' as an enemy, rather than seeing the Israel-Firsters and AIPAC/SPLC/ADL as such. This is brainwashing (indoctrination) pure and simple. “civil activism, individual freedoms and self-government.” You'd think the counter to that would be the organization you'd warn people against. And this is now coming from West Point Academy. As a former Vietnam veteran with 20 years of service to the U.S. Army, I am disgusted.

And as a West Point Graduate who is familiar with your posts and those of your earlier sock puppets, I can say with no risk of contradiction that you have never served for a second in your entire life.

When such a venerable and established institution such as West Point feels the need to point out how idiotic the position of the politically far right is, it is time for all sensible citizens to stop listening to the extreme right wing radio and television "news" broadcasts, and get their information from less biased and more reasonable sources.

That is very interesting. Good to have a reference point.

You............a West Point Graduate?...........I doubt that by your immature petty ridicule towards people with opposing views on this forum. But then again......with this news of what they are doing, I am not surprised West Point would put out a individual of your embarrassing caliber. After all, This is the place that threw out almost 200 years of tradition last December when 2 lesbians got married at the West Point Chapel. How disgusting and immoral. I hate to say it but West Point has lost it's way. Hopefully they can right the ship if they can get the PC crowd out and get some traditional people with high caliber moral standards. Now when it comes to me, you have no idea what you are talking about and I don't have to prove anything to you about my service. It happened plain and simple........for 20 years. Now, this fascination you, wrecking ball and Arus have with this Steve guy is flat out disturbing to say the least. Whoever he was, he must have really got under each of your collars. Getting back on the subject. This West Point study is warning against the thoughts that come from the very writings of the framers that gave us the Constitution and the ideals to live by. That would be the same Constitution that Army officers pledge an oath to defend. This kind of "analysis" is specious and insane. American Patriots are not to be demonized or warned about. They are not a threat.

And what does it matter, it appears, when someone on this forum does not like when someone says something they agree with, they have to resort to so are you!

The whole point of this forum, is to express your inner feelings and thoughts on a specific topic, whether others agree or not.

Who cares if he is or isn't, he is expressing his opinion and that is his right.

And if you want to try and get him fired, the head of the Combating Terrorism Center is retired 4-star general John Abizaid.
