 Is The Rider Of The Red Horse Ascendant?

It seems that the slyest way to undermine the Constitution is

to claim to be defending it.

General Paul Vallely, through his front group

StandUpAmericaus.com, is calling for Barack Obama to step

down from the Presidency over allegations of deceit, fraud,

corruption, dishonesty, and for violating the oath of office

and the U.S. Constitution.

But while all of these are valid charges, the solution

presented indicates that the retired general may himself be an

aspiring despot waiting in the wings.

For instead of allowing the constitutional procedures

established by the Founding Fathers to guide the nation

through turbulent periods in its history, Vallely is insisting

that new elections must be held this very instant that are to

be authorized as a result of citizen petition.

The General claims "We can wait no longer for a traditional

transfer of power and a new government."

Such a proposal causes the discerning to wonder what other

provisions of the Constitution he would like to hack to

gives good reason as to why ultimate control of the military

must rest in civilian hands, and no matter how noble their

service and their advice considered as a result, veteransshould have no more ultimate say than any other citizen that

claims to love America.
