Union Prez: GOP ‘Fomenting Rebellion’ In Military Against Obama
-By Warner Todd Huston
Ron Moore, AFL-CIO local president and Examiner writer, absurdly and irresponsibly claimed on February 25 that “the Republican Party” is trying to “foment rebellion” inside the U.S. military against President Obama. This is exactly the sort of irresponsible charges that the left loves to throw around to create fear and loathing, sadly.
Moore bases the untruths in his headlined, “Is the Republican Party fomenting rebellion among the armed forces as a political tactic?,” on the fact that individuals that happen to be Republicans — or once were — are still pursuing the Obama birth certificate issue. But he takes that extra untenable step to say that these few people represent “the Republican Party.”
Moore cites Alan Keyes’ suggestion that American soldiers should refuse orders given by Barack Obama. Keyes claims Obama is not a proven natural born U.S. citizen because an official birth certificate has not been released and that he may not Constitutionally qualify to be president of the U.S. Moore further cites the fact that one solder has joined the fight to force Obama to reveal his real birth certificate as evidence that “the military” is taking Keyes up on the crusade.
After detailing the story, Moore ends his foolish piece with this:
While this may not be a trend, it is noteworthy that the hostility is so openly practiced by those sworn to uphold the Constitution. As President, Ronald Reagan started the practice of treating the military as an adjunct to the Republican Party. Senator Jesse Helms warned President Clinton that if he visited a military base in North Carolina he may be shot and President George W. Bush routinely used members of the military as props during public relations tours.
It is “noteworthy” only in that Ron Moore makes the wildly illogical leap that Keyes and this one soldier represents both the entire Republican Party and the U.S. military, membership and officers both. Firstly, it must be pointed out to the fantasy minded Moore that Alan Keyes is no longer a Republican. Keyes really can’t be claimed by any party at this point. He has his own agenda.
Secondly, Moore’s loose connection of past Republicans to this current birth certificate flap is shaky, indeed. What ever you think of this controversy, there is no one… I repeat NOT ONE… member of the Party establishment interested in pursuing this birth certificate issue. No raft of Congressmen have made calls to see the original birth certificate, no party head or minion has demanded that Obama be denied his office over the issue.
There is no “trend,” and no party effort to begin one. Period.
Yes, many people outside the party establishment are interested in this case. But they are a minority of the membership of the GOP. For Ron Moore to explode the participation of these two people he mentions into some overarching GOP conspiracy is idiotic and irresponsible.
But, then again, that’s how the left works, eh? Taking one or two instances of something and making of it a representative fact when it is far from it, this is a chief tactic. Instead of being assumed to be a serious reporter and writer, Moore proves himself to be no better than a DailyKos moonbat screeching in the night.
So, what is it with leftists named Moore that have to resort to lies to advocate for their side?

Hmmmph. I distance myself from Republicans too, at times. The Snowes, the Specters, the Ron Pauls.
But opposing Obama? There’s a ’side’ where you’ll always find me.
Thanks Comrade.
When you learn to employ doublethink then you may fully realize that the USA(1789) is gone.
Thanks Comrade serr8d, distancing yourself from Ron Paul is a great idea and you wouldn’t want to get to close to the constitution either. Someone may end up reading it which would be devastating for :
BIG BRO B.O. – “Original Framer of the US Destitution”
Meanwhile Comrades, the best thing to do is ignore the US Constitution and jelly your mind into a polarized state, give up your free will and engage in doublethink.
See you in the soup lines, Comrade.
Maybe we should just ask Ron Moore, “If there really is a conspiracy afoot, and if you’re on to it, why aren’t you already sleeping with the fishes?”
Alan Keyes is the biggest loser on the planet. Unfortunately, until the Republicans stop choosing to run him on *their* tickets, he belongs *to them.* And voters with a modicum of good sense will continue to go with either the dems or somebody else. Keyes is toxic, time to cut him loose.
Republicans have an important decision to make on this issue. From time to time I read a column with an interesting conservative point of view, only to find a paragraph or two later that the author buys into the birth certificate claptrap, and I can no longer take the piece seriously.
Political opposition is an important part of our system. It’s a shame to see it undermined by lunacy.
Very interesting reports are coming out now that state Obama’s legal team has stated that questions about his Natural Born status should have need addressed before the Electorial college count.
OMG
THIS IS HUGE!
Could it be that Alan Keys is a closet homosexual who hates homosexuals? No, but he can’t stand the fact the gay marriage is on it’s way to being legal. He wants to do whatever he can to damage to economy of my beloved country by making wildly false statements. Alan Keyes should be jailed for treason.
KP go take your lies to another planet.
Love,
Ellen
Closet homosexual? You are an idiot.
I demand Obama produce his stupid birth certificate to Phil Berg, immediately. Otherwise, Obama is most likely a fraud, a phony, and an evil usurper. That’s it…..pretty simple.
Are you speaking of the same Phil Berg who, according to WorldNetDaily, thinks Obama is “probably an illegal alien and should be deported”? (http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=90079)
Yep, pretty simple indeed.
It is sick that a fraud was able to become president without even showing a long form birth certificate. Also sick that a muslim was able to become president so close to us being attacked by muslims on 9/11.
When it comes out that Obama is a complete fraud, he will cause blood to flow in the streets.
Communism is Socialism hurried. -Lenin
It’s too bad that Keyes didn’t have this information when he lost to Obama. The trouble with conspiracies is they require too many people to keep their mouths shut. I am pretty sure that by now, the Republican party or someone would have paid somebody enough money to see the “real” records in Kenya, or could have paid someone to go through the records of the hospital Obama was born at to prove that he and his mother were not there. It is so absurd to think that a secret of this size could be kept hushed up.
It’s even simpler than that. One of the allegations is that the Certification of Live Birth is not sufficient to prove birth within the United States even though it says plainly that Obama was born in Honolulu.
If the accusers are right — that there is some loophole in Hawaiian law by which a COLB could be issued bearing false information — wouldn’t it be easy to find a state official willing to say so? The Governor is Republican, you know.
Obama’s arrogance knows no bounds! To start with, he needs to get the words “I” and “me” out of his vocabulary. The simple common sense fact is that he refuses to allow his long form certified birth certificate, his passport and his school transcripts to be made public. If he is legitimate, then he needs to prove it. If not, then he is a fraud and needs to be removed even if we get the “court jester” as his replacement. It couldn’t be any worse! (Remember, accepting benefits always means loss of freedom).
“When it comes out that Obama is a complete fraud, he will cause blood to flow in the streets.”
Before you start whining about the moonbats at Daily Kos, you should try reading a few of the comments on your own blog, Warner.
Blood to flow in the streets?
I neither control who comments, nor what they say. Neither do I necessarily agree with everything they say.
