i want to take a second to tell you one other story this is a a
story is that getting conservatives in a tizzy you know that really shouldn't and
marine corps
sergeant is being discharged other than honorably for a face book post that was
critical of obama we're talking here about a a situation where sergeant gary
stein made a post on a they spoke
page
frequented by marine meteorologist where he said screw obama
and i will not follow all orders from
so of course the idea is that now that uh... a sergeant buying is being
discharge is going to lose a number of benefits that he would have otherwise
been entitled to an honorable discharge
people are saying
it's because you've been critical of the president and liberal suppressing free
speech et cetera et cetera turns out the fact don't support that at all the list
i'm listening you're not surprised
no i mean it
when you're in the military you shut up and you take your orders in your your
used to follow orders from the commander in chief
permeates
that's that's a u dot barrel is making perfect sense here the military has
actually had a policy since the civil war that limits the free speech of
service members including specifically criticisms of the commander in chief
uh... pentagon directed say military personnel in uniform can sponsor
political club participate in anne t_v_ or radio program or a group discussion
that advocates for or against a political party candidate
or cause or speak any event to promote the political movement
this is uh... in addition to the uh... provisioning commissioned officers also
may not use contemptuous words
against senior officials this has nothing to do with liberals
this is nothing to do with obama even though that is what republicans why you
think they wanted think president obama is personally have it having this guy
kicked out because he was critical of the president
let's look back at the policy that's been in place since the civil war
no surprise though that republicans want to make this an issue of liberals
wanting to suppress free speech when they don't happen to like it before
cindy doesn't happen that often or when it says we don't hear about it
so this makes it seem like uh... like it's increasing incident that is uh...
completely unjust is welcome any soldier does the same thing presumably should
and and i guess that given that this is the policy we would wanna make sure that
it is enforced equitably as well
but at least in this particular case
it is fitting
let's take a break we'll be back i still want to talk about walmart shrimp coming
from slave like conditions also teacher fired for are doing something the
catholic church did not like state in the back after this
calif actually shiite
