U.S. General: Let’s make Obama resign
WASHINGTON – A retired Army general is calling for the “forced resignations” of President Obama, other administration officials and the leadership of Congress for the direction they’re taking the nation, his list of grievances including the systematic political purge of hundreds of senior military officers in the U.S. military.
Retired Maj. Gen. Paul E. Vallely told WND he is calling for nationwide rallies and protests to demand the resignations and added that a peaceful “civil uprising is still not out of question.” SOURCE
I have only one point of disagreement with Maj. Gen. Paul E. Vallely and the late John F. Kennedy and that is; I don’t believe that there is, or ever has been any form of PEACEFUL REVOLUTION.
Every person that is an Officer of the Law or that has ever entered military service has taken an oath similar to the following:
I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.” (Title 10, US Code; Act of 5 May 1960 replacing the wording first adopted in 1789, with amendment effective 5 October 1962).
To support, protect and defend the CONSTITUTION against ALL enemies. That, my dear reader, is the intent and exactly what must be done; defend the Constitution.
But there is, as they say, a fly in the ointment.
What do you do when your solemn oath compels you to obey the orders of the President of the United States when that President, and his entire administration are, in fact, nothing more than a Communist or Socialist inspired REGIME and the President himself is, in fact, the enemy that you’re supposed to defend against?
Some may call that a conundrum.
I am not one of those people simply because I fully believe that if We, The People are being led by a person or persons that truly are enemies of this nation, the Constitution and our way of life any orders given by that person(s) are ILLEGAL ORDERS and as any thinking person that is in Military or Police Service knows; you do NOT obey ILLEGAL ORDERS.
Maj. Gen. Vallely has issued a “National Call to Action” to force the resignations of Barack Hussein Obama, Joe Biden, Harry Reid, Mitch McConnell, John Boehner, and Nancy Pelosi.
Here is where I see disagreement on the *peaceful revolution* mentioned above.
None of those individuals named above will EVER simply resign their office, in fact, I’m not sure that Obama himself would willingly give up the Office of President once his term of office is done. For an individual to resign they must first have some modicum of human dignity and respect for their office and this nation.
Quite frankly, I don’t see that in ANY of them. These people will leave office being carried OUT of D.C. and they will be kicking and screaming when or IF that were to happen.
Impeachment, Vallely said, is not a viable option because of “partisan politics.”
Maj. Gen. Vallely is quite correct in this statement, and he is much nicer in saying it the way HE does as opposed to the way I look at impeaching Barack Hussein Obama. I don’t see the impeachment of Obama happening not because of “partisan politics” but more due to the spineless jellyfish and gutless cowards that currently infest the U.S. House and Senate!
I openly laugh at those believing Obama can be impeached and removed from office in that fashion. Those making the cries for impeachment only show their naiveté for the political process in America and make themselves openly appear to be as ignorant as they really are.
Anyone finding themselves offended by my accusations of ignorance can either get over it and educate themselves HERE or they can do what the ignorant are known to do; call names and denigrate those that speak from a position of truth and knowledge.
A Peaceful Revolution?
Our military is led by CIVILIANS, and as such, many claim that high ranking military leaders can’t, and won’t lead a coup against this or any other President simply because those *civilians* would not authorize nor fund such action.
I sincerely hope that thought is wrong, you see; free men don’t ask permission to be FREE. We are FREE or we are not. The choice is ours and the only thing standing in the way of a NEW American Revolution is the courage to commence firing!
I concur with all you said. But, in order to generate a Peaceful Revolution, which should be the first choice, the people have to become concerned, unhappy or pissed off enough to demand of their Representatives in the House to Impeach-once that is done the Chief Justice’s metal will be tested to see if he can run a “fair and impartial” trial in the Senate. (My view-wont happen). However, if there is enough news coverage of the two events, it might get the folks aroused enough to begin Protesting in huge numbers. Right now, the people are NOT represented and our “common sense” voices are not heard-rather ignored. I live in Nevada-HRH Harry Reid ought to be kicked out-he is an embarrasment to this State snd to the Nation at large. As far as Obama is concerned, Norman Matoon Thomas predicted this in the mid “40’s. FYI-he ran for President about 6 times as I recall on a Socialist Ticket-when he decided to run no more he said something like-I dont need to run anymore as the Democrat Party has adopted our Platform.
We gotta keep hitting this hard. ——-
Dick, I AM hitting hard, my hands are sore from it… Sadly, I don’t see nearly enough Americans hitting hard, too few patriots at this point in time I am afraid…
We all should be. Our kids and grandkids are in deep kimshee
Kimshee? SPITS!
Give me some Corned Beef, cut fat!
There’s nothing to disagree with on your comments, impeachment will nver happen - The only way Obama will be removed from office is by a over throw of the present government. I also believe that the Government is prepared for civil unrest, by purchasing ammo, and large ammounts of MRE’s and etc, etc…….
I had read Gen Valleley’s comments a few days ago. No one wants to see a shooting revolution here in the U.S. This would actually amount to a civil war. Perhaps in more than just two factions (libs/consrv).
Look at the casualties in the last civil war we had! Alarming to think what could be done with modern weaponry? Even small police dpeartments have weapons that most civilians cannot match.
Will the police/military side with the civilians against the government IF that happens? That’s the $64 question. Rather the question will be how many and what parts of the police/military will side with the population? Would the people themselves or any portion of them stand up and take to the streets? Or have we all gotten so fat and used to comforts that we will just hope that it’ll get better……..
Every day it becomes more apparent that this may be the citizens last resort. Regardless, this downhill slide of everything that we hold dear about America must be stopped. God help us.
Bingo! Knocked that one out of the park Mike! 🙂
*BURPS*
“Two old women were lieing in bed…”
Please elaboraye on whatm you said Mike.
I hope it doesnt come to that. I think that the alleged Representatives should at least attempt Impeachment. Then, if successful, the Senate has to/must put on a trial-that is the question in my mind/
Come on Dick; That ain’t gonna happen.
That right there is what’s perplexed many military folks who have discussed this: “I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice”
What if it’s the president or the officers who are the enemies of the Constitution? As
someone who was career military and a Senior NCO, this is what I believe and many like me do. Unfortunately, there’s no way to determine if today’s crop of NCO’s and officers believe likewise. All orders which are to be obeyed are subservient to the Constitution of the United States. The swearing to protect and defend the Constitution comes first in the Oath and all the rest is beneath it.
According to the UCMJ, all orders have to be lawful and that is according to US law and the Constitution. That’s why Lt. Calley went down for the My Lai massacre even though everyone knew he was under orders to do what they did. The orders weren’t lawful IAW the UCMJ and Constitution. Hitler’s officers and henchmen found that out at the Nuremberg Trials when they tried to use the excuse “we were obeying orders”.
The annales of history are filled with “I only followed orders” excuses.
Only the American people can make it happen, Fred. And as much as I hate to say it, we live amongst a different crop of Americans than those two generations back. They’ve been taught that it is wrong to love one’s country and want to defend it. They were indoctrinated in our government schools. I can’t see them rising up for ANY reason to defend the constitution — OR America.
It makes me sick to think it — let alone write it down!
JDL
Yup, JDL, too many Americans have been indoctrinated and many more won’t rock the boat. A large, but shrinking, percentage of the population still backs Obama. Oddly enough, Obamacare may become the one thing that turns the tide. If not, life here in the future will truly suck.
I took the oath 3 times, the last time was over 50 years ago, but I am still obliged to uphold that oath.
Thank you Sir!
Sua Sponte!
Either way, if Obama is forced to resign…doubtful, or if he is impeached and convicted, the rumble would be on. Why? Because all of us are racist as we are referred to by anyone who questions the son of bitch. So by default the fight is on because were racist..bottom line.
But Pelosi, Reed, Durbin, Biden, etc. are white. We oppose them just as much as we oppose Obama. Doesn’t that put “racism” to rest? It’s his policies and mindset that we oppose, not the color of his skin!
It doesn’t matter Hugh, if you oppose Obama, or his regime, for ANY reason, YOU are a racist… It’s the Libtard way…
Then the Libtard way totally sucks! Their “reality” is far removed from reality.
Umm, DUH..?
Please elaborate…

We haven’t hit the bottom and until we do the bulk of the electorate is anesthetized.

Progressives are marxists. That truth has to be shouted out by any media outlet that has any integrity left. I can’t believe the shit the the NY Times prints. Where are the journalists who are supposed to be the guardians of liberty?
I have said it before and will say it again. In order to start winning this fight, we need to take back the media. All the money conservatives spend to get this guy or that guy elected and on and on, some of it should be spent buying media outlets. With all of the liberal rags losing money, it seems like a waste of investment buying these losers up. But look at the “profit” over and above monetary return. Get the news out there to the masses that seem to still rely on the “regular” media. Fox news and the millions of blogs can NOT equal the message output of say ABC, CBS, or MSNBC, let alone the dead tree rags that get thrown on the average person’s doorstep every morning.
Start telling American what obama does on a late night friday, passing insane laws and tricks of politics that don’t make news on Monday morning. Start telling Americans the conservative side of what is really happening. I believe most people are conservative at heart, even if they believe themselves democrats. They just need the proper information. After all, I BLAME the low information voter for this mess. These simple minded creatures need to be swayed, and if you ask me, the conservative message just plain makes sense over the liberal message. But if the average American doesn’t hear our side, they can only choose to believe what they hear.
I am sure that this is only one small avenue of many things that need to be done, but I am equally sure the benefit will get the ball rolling and all the other steps will occur if our message starts to get a foothold in America. Imagine if MSNBC was the minority. If FOX was the leader and majority, followed by the smaller media joints.
When the truth gets out, people who thought they were liberal minded, turn into conservatives quite easily. But we can’t takeover with the message going out one blog at a time. We need to hit the masses with the truth like a nuke-uler bomb, and have the massive effect of millions of democrat registered voters changing sides in droves.
Imagine the daily headlines lambasting obama and his ilk daily instead of preaching how awesome he is. As the old saying goes, information is power, and ever more so, lies hate the light of day. The conservative message must be main stream majority. After that, the battle becomes so much easier. And just like was said about communism taking over without a single shot fired. Conservatism will re-take lost ground and win the day, without a shot being fired.
The pen is mightier than the sword. But the biggest pen wins.
dekare….Burt Pretlutsky says exactly the same thing. Maybe you should email him at BurtPrelutsky@aol.com and copy for him what you wrote here. I am sure he would respond and agree with you. He’s a rarity in Los Angeles, a Jewish conservative associated with Hollywood.
The truth is, as we all know, the media is only dispersing the information that furthers their Liberal agenda…pathetic, especially as it is working.
I served in the Army during the LBJ era and my oath was to The Constitution first. There were many of us who despised LBJ during our time in Vietnam. We believed in the war, but not the way we were restricted(from obliterating and occupying NORTH Vietnam instead of attritional war in South Vietnam).
Now retired I still believe in my oath to The Constitution. Fuck obama and his appointees and much of Congress. I have no prediction for the future. Instead I can see too many possible scenarios going forward. Most are scary, but believable. Hence my name.
I sincerely hope that we have thousands of troops and commanders that feel the same way today..
Ohh RAH TomR!

I can’t help but feel that obama is trying to assemble our military and recreate hitler’s “brown shirts” to enforce his will on the people and shut those up that do NOT agree with him.
I can not say anything about our military, as regretably, I didn’t serve. But as a former law enforcement officer, I do know that there is a surprisingly large number of cops who will gladly obey obama if it means a steady paycheck and more importanly, promise of power at the expense of citizens.
