President Barack Obama, along with many Democrats, likes to say that, while they may disagree with the GOP on many issues related to national security, they absolutely share their admiration and dedication to members of our armed forces. Obama, in particular, enjoys being seen visiting troops and having photos taken with members of our military. So, why is his campaign and the Democrat party suing to restrict their ability to vote in the upcoming election?
On July 17th, the Obama for America Campaign, the Democratic National Committee, and the Ohio Democratic Party filed suit in OH to strike down part of that state’s law governing voting by members of the military. Their suit said that part of the law is “arbitrary” with “no discernible rational basis.”
Currently, Ohio allows the public to vote early in-person up until the Friday before the election. Members of the military are given three extra days to do so. While the Democrats may see this as “arbitrary” and having “no discernible rational basis,” I think it is entirely reasonable given the demands on servicemen and women’s time and their obligations to their sworn duty.

It must sicken our Military Members to have to salute this bag of hot air, Obama could not get a job flipping burgers at McDonalds on his own initiative. He got vetted by those two idiots in Congress Pelosi and Reid and when this is all over and the cloud is lifted off the truth, they should all be arrested for their participation in pulling of the biggest scam in history, allowing an illegal alien to steal the White House and to cripple our country with his idiotic worthless misguided policies.
Here’s another thought that should be looked into.
RICO act. Well, it looks to me like congress in its entirety and every person that works in it, the white house and every single person that works in it and draws federal paychecks, the justice department and every single person that works directly or indirectly and every single department there-in, and every single employee of the federal government of the United States of America regardless of job description is and has been involved in criminal activity as an organization and every member of congress, including pages, secretaries, mail runners and every single employee therein, and everybody that works in the white house and the justice department, every single worker for the federal government at every level should be arrested and charged under the RICO act as an ongoing criminal organization. That would include every judge, bailiff, secretary, toilet cleaner and every single worker in the justice department nationwide is and has been committing crimes against the Natural Born Citizens of the United States of America and should be arrested, jailed without bond until convicted of the crimes they have committed. Upon conviction they should be sent to prison, general population, to serve not less than life without the possibility of parole. Just like the drug dealers and anybody else that has been charged under that act. There Crimes will start with Treason. They have been lying, stealing and cheating the Natural Born Citizens of the United States of America. I can’t see any difference between them and the Mafia, if there ever was such a thing, or Motorcycle “Gangs”, or Gun Smugglers, Drug Smugglers or any RICO defined organization. When convicted ‘All’ their assets and I mean everything they own should be confiscated and put in the general fund to help the needy Natural Born Citizens of the United States of America. Everything they have was derived from their criminal activity while working in the Criminal Organization we know as the Federal Government. That includes all of their kids’ stuff and of course the wives and mistresses property. Seize, confiscate all property of any description. Freeze all bank accounts. Their sentences after a quick trial and conviction will be Life in, General Population, Prison without the possibility of Parole. Creation of construction jobs for a lot of new prisons for these poor folks. Give the sons and daughters the choice of Prison for life or Front Line Combat Positions. Well, they get a choice. Then we can go after the middlemen that were involved in defense procurement that were instrumental in ripping off the taxpayers for the last 75 years and we can prosecute the dead criminals posthumously.
So, let’s see – Obama/Holder are for the rights of dead people and illegals to vote, they’re against asking anyone for ID to vote, they dismissed the voter intimidation lawsuit against the Black Panthers, which was described as the worst case of voter intimidation in the history of our country, and they’re suing Ohio to make it more difficult to military personnel to vote. Do you see a pattern here? How can anyone support this guy? Seriously?
Of course he wants to restrict military personnel from voting….he knows he hates them and the feeling, I believe, is somewhat mutual, so they won’t be voting democratic. It’s a disgrace to treat our military that way, but you can be sure democrats always will!!!
Ummmm… the so-called President of the United States, sworn to uphold the Constitution, the Commander-in-Chief of our armed forces, has begun disenfranchising the US military? TREASON.
A “president” that aids directly in the cause of our sworn enemies? TREASON. Presides over a DHS that is ordering our Border Patrol to run away and hide when confronted by illegal immigrants? TREASON. Is threatening to suspend and prosecute ICE agents for doing their sworn duty? TREASON.
And nobody in that building full of SWORN COWARDS called Congress sees anything wrong with any of this? Further, the O’Media trumpets this TREASON favorably?
Well, screw the federal police agencies, they don’t seem to know TREASON when they see it and they’re trained and paid to recognize it.
Screw the military, they’re in it for the cash and future benefits (fools!).
Lastly, screw Congress. They’ve been on the side of Globalists of every stripe for years now.
If there is anyone at all still on the “side” of We the People I don’t see them. We’re on our own and Napolitano has openly declared Conservatives a greater terroristic threat to her USA than global terrorists.
Where do you think that leaves us? Our “government” has loudly declared the majority of the people to be TERRORISTS and nobody in any position of power has stood up and protested in the least.
All WE have is the TEA Party. And Mitt Romney. Like I said, we’re screwed.
stRanger – you’re damn right. Treason and aiding and abetting – all high crimes. I’d love to see the military surround everyone in congress and the president next time they’re all together and lock the doors, turn off the power, and stand guard. I think it’s within the military’s rights – and probably literally in their oath, to do so. They’re supposed to protect us from all enemies and threats to the constitution, foreign (Obama) and domestic (congress). And press charges against everyone in the media – almost every single one of them, even those at FOXNEWS – because none of them are doing their jobs regarding exposing the fraud in the WH. Sheriff Joe is the only one who is abiding by the oath he took.
AlwaysRIGHT your right on the money!!!!!!!!! We need WAR ON WASHINGTON!!! Both on REPS and DEMO in both WH & Congress get rid of all the dead beets, Liers. War is just around the corner. Sad to see it but those commiting treason is forcing it on themselfs…man I would hate to be in the WH or Congress when S**T hits the fan.
All the Generals and Admirals need to be rounded and charged with treason for not protecting our country from a terriorist in the White House. They all have failed our country and their oath.
“Screw the military, they’re in it for the cash and future benefits (fools!).” How about —SCREW YOU? The part of your post about Treason is correct but, you are way off base on the military. If it wasn’t for the military (past and present), you wouldn’t have the freedom to post any such comment about anything.
In it for the cash? Try getting by on about minimum wage. It’s about all they get when you consider they have a full 24 hour day. They are always on duty even when they do get a few hours off base. Future benefits? As to what? Unless they get hurt while they are in, they don’t get any pension or medical until they have served for at least 20 years. If you were to take a poll today, most of the military will NOT back Obummer this November. Know what you’re talking about before you open that pie-hole of yours.
If the military stood on its hind legs when Obama shoves some new humiliation onto them I’d agree, but they do not. The last person to stand up to Obama was McCrystal and he was unceremoniously fired. The rest have quietly slunk away to obey their master’s orders.
Can you imagine the Russian Army being forced to spend the day in pregnant suits? Or to attend lectures extolling the wonders of homosexuality?
Our military has meekly swallowed outrageous ROEs that are giving a clear tactical advantage to the Taliban and Muslim Jihadists. Without protest! Try to imagine Patton listening to tactical instructions from Roosevelt! Yet our current crop silently obeys and gets gunned down in increasing numbers for it.
Do you think Obama would be as brazen in his blizzard of unconstitutional EOs that seize power from the other two branches or so openly meddling in things military that he obviously knows nothing about
if he knew the military would genuinely stand up to him? NO WAY! Our military has shown clear and unambiguous signs of complete compliance.
Do you think Obama would proceed on his course of enslaving the nation if he DID NOT HAVE THE MILITARY’S LOYALTY?
All that is necessary to reign in Obama;’s rush to cage America is for one of two things to happen. That pack of dissolute weasels in Congress to stand up to him or the military to do the same. Better yet both. Remember, US military personnel are NOT REQUIRED to obey unlawful orders yet ours does, and does so every day without quibble.
Obama owns the military and the Federal police agencies. If it comes to pass that I am wrong – and I fervent hope that I am – I will be vastly relieved! Until then we can’t trust the military that is training for URBAN WARFARE against citizens in revolt with foreign troops right NOW, or the police at any level.
Disagree with me as you wish, smokey, but keep the personal stuff to yourself. You stand exactly ZERO chance of shutting my “pie hole” with wishfull thinking or anything else. Wake up and get real.
“Screw the military, they’re in it for the cash and future benefits (fools!).” What cash? School teachers are paid better than military enlisted ranks. Future benefits? Would those be the ones ObaMao is trying to get the military to pay triple for? Or are you thinking they get retirement pay after one term of enlistment? You’re confusing the military with Congress. Only Congress gets retirement pay after one term in office, and they get 100%! After 20 YEARS of service, military gets 50% retirement pay.
Why is ObaMao so afraid of the military vote? Could it be that he knows, with his anti-military policies, they’ll vote against him? So, how does restricting their voting privileges gain him support from the military?
Personally, I expect this election will be the most contentious in US history, with vast amounts of voter fraud that will be contested for many years. Why else would the Democrat Party be so against voter registration across the country?
