Greg Littell, writing for a Western Nevada journal called “The Union,” has said in a op-ed article that the idea of armed rebellion against a tyrannical United States would be impossible because of a perceived weapons disparity. Essentially, Mr. Littell believes that a militia conceivably armed with AR-15s would be forced to back down because this tyrant could threaten to use nuclear weapons. Therefore, the only “rational course” to take would be Gandhi-esque civil disobedience and that refusing to work would grind the tyrannical government to a halt. Let’s back up a little and really analyze what Mr. Littell is saying.
First of all, let’s not be Polly-Annish about this. Barack Obama has already enforced his will on federal and state governments repeatedly in order to instill his liberal agenda on the American citizen. Between stuffing Syrian “refugees” into whatever corners of America will take them, attacking our Second Amendment rights, and repressing Christian Americans, Obama could already be called something of a tyrant. All that really remains between Barack Obama leaving office in 2016 and Barack Obama becoming President-For-Life is the support of the military. However, Obama has repeatedly slandered military leaders and attacked military establishments and traditions, so it is safe to assume the military would not back an Obama-led dictatorship. Any overtures of retaining his Presidency after the end of his office term would be quashed by the dutiful generals who serve on behalf of the American people.
Secondly, why would soldiers launch nukes on their own homes? Greg Littell is laboring under a literary fantasy more befitting a Tom Clancy novel than domestic politics. Mr. Littell’s genocidal fantasy may work for his own whims to quash Obama-dissenters, but fails to consider that the men behind the button are better Americans than he is and would be unwilling to act so coldly on their own families. One wonders what Mr. Littell imagines he would do?
Let’s accept the scenario Mr. Littell has given us. What would you do if Obama wrested control of the military, enacted martial law and you’ve taken up arms to cast him out of power? If this is the case, how would patriots get around federal maneuvers to launch nuclear missiles on American cities?

I’m ready
We’re waiting.. The militia will save America .. Armed and ready.,
when
thank God and are smart forefathers that saw this sht coming the 2nd ammendment is the only thing saving us from obaba and the muslimes
It will more than likely be forced on us.
Obama is either a brilliant stratigest or completely inept.I think the first. Revolt will only give cause to his agenda. He has been moving military equipment and no one knows where it is. Jade Helm is one of those manuvers that has Doomsday written all over it. With so many refugees trying to get in from Mexico , how many arms might be buried out there. Obama’s been one step ahead on everything. Almost like it’s been planned for years. Or is it coincidence? I don’t think he’s stupid, I think he knows exactly what he’s doing.
I agree. He is not stupid. I would like to think so, but that simply isn’t so. I believe ACORN helped steal the last election, which is a moot point because he is not eligible for the office anyhow. He is a felon. He applied for financial aid as a foreign student and as such would not be a natural born citizen. Conversely, if he is a natural born citizen, he committed fraud by applying for financial aid as a foreign student. Either way he’s a felon making him ineligible for the office of POTUS.
AMEN!!!!!!!!!! I”M READY!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mr.Robinson,first I would like to thank you for your service. Secondly,I have a son in the military. He and I talk to one another as often as possible but we try not to discuss politics especially when it comes to the president. I understand the Oath you took is a sacred office and would die to protect it. It has become painfully obvious to me that our country perilously close to revolt and it would break my heart,knowing that I would have to kill my own people. This is not something I would have ever imagined that U.S. citizens whould be thinking. There has to be a better way. 400 more days, I pray we all keep our cool and our fingers off the triggers, maybe a new president can lead us out of this mass. And again, THANK YOU.
Actually if that moron half wit Obumbler keeps importing his packs of Pet Rats it is a very real possibiity.
..yep .. For we have a tyrant
