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 can’t believe they are called patriots. That’s what I call 1984 doublespeak for you.
Oh, I am aware
As a Vet with many friends retired and active I can tell you each patrol they sent armed against the Patriots would come back smaller if at all. If bombings were ordered, aircraft would develop maintenance problems. Important communications would be lost and commo would fail at crucial moments. Supplies would come up missing. Keys lost…..Get the picture? All this without a single soldier “refusing” an order.

WE’RE HERE!!!
Leonard Eacker first, they will be seen coming. Their will be time to prepare. There are wayyyyyyyyy less of them then us.
People like bruce leonard would welcome the destruction of freedom in this country. People like him want nothing but the worse for America.
Agree Robert Davis
Since Obama has replaced so many high ranking military leaders, it’s not inconceivable that he would use the military against a citizen rebellion. But, the main reason that wouldn’t work is that there are a vast difference in the number of soldiers who would blindly follow an order to fire on a citizen insurrection and the true patriots who are, frankly, tired of Obama’s policies and tired of having their hands tied by ridiculous new rules of engagement, basically rendering them as target practice for our enemies.
Never before has our military been more fearful of prosecution for protecting themselves than now.
Obama would show his ignorance if he thought American militia would not be able to subdue a UN threat on home soil. He keeps trying his best to take the very weapons that we would need to keep them at bay…but America has already voted against those proposals so he does what he can through executive orders.
Barry “Barack Obama” Soetero would have the shortest dictatorship in history. As Brian Chesnut has put it, “Take off the head of the snake…” We don’t need an “assault style” rifle for that. Any good hunter could make that shot with a deer rifle.
The only problem is all the refugees that has been constantly blending into society over the years will be Obama’s new army. I think that’s what the whole jade helm 15 where the military was blending in with the citizens. Was to see how easy it would be to blend the refugees into our society. If you think about the 100s of thousands of refugees disappearing all over the other country’s they are secretly being flown into the U.S. in the night and transferred to buses all over. So just imagine they have been planning the fall and takeover of America for years now. So while we the American people are sitting at the dinner table or watching the our favorite shows or even sleeping in our beds all the refugees aka Obama’s army will be activated without warning they will have the upper hand and we will be completely unprepared for a attack of that scale. We the people need to wake up and prepare if not for yourself but for our children. let’s keep America safe.
