Navy personnel - You'll be interested in this!

Make sure you read the article at the end.


You Navy guys should, at last, be really outraged. This Messiah stuff has gone on long enough. Aren't Academy graduates on our (USA) side?

What's next? Our Infantry can't carry rifles?

No Naval Swords for U.S.N.A. Graduation this year - Threat to the Dear Leader Inside the Beltway - Washington Times


No Weapons for Anyone

From today's you couldn't make it up if you tried file.......Obama's protectors have ordered graduating Midshipmen....and I suppose Commissioned Officers through Flag rank...to leave their swords at home. Full Dress White includes "wear sword". More to the point...those badges of office have been earned in a manner Obongo and his minions just wouldn't begin to understand. Important traditions that inspire are kind of lost on the red banner crowd, apparently.



Further, ceremonial swords never seemed to bother the Secret Service for any previous President. And before World War II, the swords were not particularly "ceremonial", I've seen some of those blades, boarding actions did occur on the China Station pre-war against river pirates, warlords, etc. Those swords were worn not just to graduation, but to Inaugurations, in the receiving line at the White House afterward, to the Inaugural Ball. Somehow nobody gave it a second thought. Somehow even Presidents in the past didn't presume to specify items of uniform.



But of course, what worked for Harry Truman, Ronald Reagan, F.D.R., the Bushes, T.R., any other rational non-cult leader.....doesn't work for this former state senator anointed by the Chicago machine.



Does he secretly consider our Naval and Military leaders "the enemy"? Perhaps the message this sends escaped his handlers. Sad. And .....follow me on this Obama and minions.....insulting. Actually it's contemptible.

"The most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I'm here to help."

- Ronald Reagan

The following is from the excellent blog, Atlas Shrugged

Only a Muslim Would be Afraid in the Presence of a Sword

What is Obama so afraid of?
In yiddish there is an expression, "on da gonif brent a hittle" translation "on the thief the hat burns". The man acts guilty.

So Obama has ordered the ceremonial swords removed from the ceremony. Two hundred plus years of tradition eliminated by a wave of the hand of the Emperor. (hat tip van)

Over at the Washington Times:

Graduating midshipmen of the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis are being told in writing to leave at home or in their vehicles all "ceremonial swords" and anything else "that might be considered a weapon or a threat by screeners" for Friday's outdoor commencement ceremonies featuring an address by President Barack Obama.
