It used to be that West Point was one of the hardest schools to get into. My question is how did this BOZO get past all the screening committees to gain entrance. This JACKASS did not spring into a commie nitwit all of a sudden.
Of course then there was that picture of a a bunch of black female cadets supporting black live matter in front of one of west points buildings. How the fuck did this happen. THE ANSWER IS WEST POINT HAS BEEN TAKEN OVER BY THE SOCIAL JUSTICE WARRIORS JUST LIKE THE REST OF THE GOVERNMENT

Yes, there are Marxist high enough up in the power structure to allow this. They all need to be driven out. Their philosophy is not consistent with the U.S. Constitution so they cannot honestly every take an oath to uphold the Constitution.

This is all the result of an old KGB operation- infiltrate our education system with commies, and then filter down communist ideals into students.
Over the course of several decades, the seeds take root and grow- and now almost half of our "Teachers" could be considered communist or socialist. It's actually quite brilliant to target teachers. However, there's no "cancelling the op" after you start something like this. It's only going to snowball unless a McCarthy type comes along again.

You could try destroying the ideas in open debate instead of trying to shout them down via 1984 style two minute hate sessions.
Capitalism is sick. The media is bought and owned by oligarchs and the public has their nose too close to the grind stone to have any time to figure out the real truth and thus our democracy has become compromised. We're heading towards feudalism with a thin veneer of capitalism plastered over it. The answer is not communism, but until you're willing to admit some change must be done the communists will continue to gain traction.

It's because his mentor is a communist. He's just the most visible face of the invasion.

West point is hard but not that hard. 4.0 and 4 years of ROTC would get you into west point. I know 2 people that went.

The Army said it took “appropriate action” in dealing with the situation.**
Now when the fuck is the Army going to discharge all those who stole guns from people after Katrina ?
They actually DID something wrong.
I got zero issues shooting anyone who wants to violate my rights, uniformed or otherwise.
[–] lemon11 0 points 8 points 8 points (+8|-0) ago (edited ago)
When I bring that up, I'm told that only police confiscated guns during Katrina. (And usually insulted.) This NRA article quotes an article reporting that "Police officers and federal law enforcement agents scoured the city carrying assault rifles seeking residents who have holed up to avoid forcible eviction." It goes on to say Bush signed a law a year later prohibiting federal cooperation with such actions in the future.
So apparently we were thinking of feds and police doing it, paramilitary as they are. Though still in the back of my mind I thought I recalled some minor military participating... Also, since then, I've heard active military members talk about it on radio shows and admit that they would comply with an order to confiscate arms under the assumption it would be lawful if given. Of course only the most naive circular-logic soldiers would be given such tasks, anyway. I don't know what really happened, but there is no guarantee it won't happen.

Well, soldiers...enlisted...take an oath to obey, period. Officers take a different oath, they can exercise judgment.
Soldiers did go around and steal guns....in fact, a unit of the guard refused and got big "pats on the backs" from pro-gunners.
Why the fuck do you currently see solders running around in your community in fatigues? Vs. dress uniforms?
McFly, wake up. When SHTF you best be shooting at all in uniform. They're in uniform for a reason.

Difference is, this guy did something wrong and made them look bad publicly. Katrina was them doing something wrong under orders, so of course people won't be charged.

He's the one that outed himself.
There are many more just like him that did not.
I have found foreign agents in my state government in high administrative positions; when I out them, the higher-ups do nothing.
Our government at all levels are full of guys just like this.

He'll be like most Commie hypocrites and profit off it. Communism is merely the way of the Jew.
[–] ardvarcus ago
True. Jews didn't invent communism, they merely expressed what was already a part of their culture and heritage.
