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?

Why not a military coupe? The people would back the military over throwing of this administration.
these political elites are traitors they need to be arrested Obama and all the ones who support his agenda
it is coming for sure, there are many true American’s that will not accept what obama has planned for us.

Oh yeah,when Islam raises it’s ugly oppressive head,there will be many that get their imaginary virgins..and the so called “moderates Muslims” will call unfair ,racist,and `Islameophobic’.
Clean out the liberal gene pool. From the ashes a better country would rise. A free country again.
If it happens it will be the government’s decision if they push the people to that point they will have one hell of a fight on their hand and they’re going to need the UN and everything else they got they underestimate the fighting spirit of the American people whatever they have to use against us they are going to need it’ ……… it will not be easy and it will be costly but trust me the American people will fight with everything they got man woman and child he better be well prepared to suffer the loss he will inflict upon this country and in the end he will pay the price
I do not fear U.N. but I would not want to have to face my own army my own boys my own flesh and blood
Thomas Decker Radical Islam is what the discussion is about, not Muslims as a whole. The problem is we cannot vette these people as fast as the Obama administration is bringing them in. We must protect our people from the radicals and if that means slowing down the influx of Muslims as a whole, so be it.
