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?

You people really believe the rest of the world would just watch as Obama attacked his own nation. You are more fullish than I even procevied. You know how long countries like Russia have been waiting for the day they walk through and take this land from us? What better time could be imagined for these people, than when we fight amongst each other. Not that it would be done to help the people. With our military watching it’s people, an outside strike would be hard to defend aginst. Worse than that any true invading army would have no problems destroying large amounts of civilians. Our only chance would be to receive outside assistance before this sena Rio played out. Just an opinion
They will drag you screaming and bleeding into their details death camps just like they did the unarmed Jews in$#%&!@*Germany about 80 years ago…if you listen to these whining political elites
Thomas Decker Im guessing that Wanetta is concerned about the ones that are here in the US and want Sharia. If you dont care about your Constitution, then go ahead, support Islam.
Exactly……
To some liberal men, this is why:
If being an American and being proud of it is against the law and the constitution then they can put my name on the list 1000 times.
