Obama urges troops to question Trump’s authority, blames terrorism on First, Second Amendment

While speaking to troops at MacDill Air Force Base, in Tampa, Florida, Barack Obama said soldiers have a duty to question Donald Trump’s authority once he becomes president and blamed the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms and global warming for terrorism and “violent extremism” in the U.S., Warner Todd Huston reported at Breitbart.com.

According to Huston:

Characterizing the military’s mission as a fight against “violent extremism,” Obama insisted that soldiers need to rise up against Trump if they feel he is pushing policies that are ill considered.

Obama told the troops, “each of us has…the universal right to speak your minds and to protest against authority; to live in a society that’s open and free; that can criticize our president without retribution.”

Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?

Obama went on to insist that a proper U.S. policy against “violent extremism” is a “long term” policy.

“So rather than offer false promises that we can eliminate terrorism by dropping more bombs or deploying more and more troops or fencing ourselves off from the rest of the world,” he said, “we have to take a long view of the terrorist threat. And we have to pursue a smart strategy that can be sustained. In the time remaining, let me just suggest what I think should guide this approach.”

Huston added:

In addressing the war-torn Middle East, Obama insisted that global warming forms a large part of that conflict. “A changing climate is increasing competition for food and water,” which, he claimed, drives the conflict in Syria and other nearby nations.

Obama also blamed the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution for “violent extremism” in the United States.

“Somebody who is trying to kill and willing to be killed is dangerous, particularly when we live in a country where it’s very easy for that person to buy a very powerful weapon,” Obama insisted.

The outgoing chief executive wasn’t finished attacking Constitutional rights, Huston said.  Even the First Amendment right of free speech was targeted.

Huston continued:

The presidential short-timer also placed blame on the Constitution’s First Amendment, hinting that he thinks free speech is too freely indulged to prevent “impressionable minds” from being warped by “extremism” on the Internet.

Obama touted his efforts to limit the reach of terror recruiters online saying, “We’ve worked with our tech sector to support efforts to push back on terrorist messages on social media that motivate people to kill.”

Translation: You’re too stupid to handle free speech, so we need to control what you’re allowed to hear, see and say.

Thankfully, Obama will finally be out of office in January.
