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?

Good thing Thank you
Fear is handing over ones power with the least amount of resistance – shug
Actually semi automatic weapons are best, don’t waste ammo, one shot, one kill … Automatic weapons are good for firing on a crowd but I would prefer the single shot, semi autos, guerrilla type warfare … Hard to defend against… Especially in our own backyards
Daniel J Ahern , the thing is if you purchase guns now they know what you bought, how many ,where you live etc. , and at some point if they decide to try , that’s the key word ,try… To take your guns they have a good idea where a good majority of them are …. Too bad they couldn’t track down the illegal aliens and deport them but of course they won’t do that, they don’t want to infringe on the foreigner’s right
It’s called treason. Sorry
Lock & Load – it’s coming. NO MORE DEMOCRATS
And quite a few heads!!! Start from the top down, and take care of any resistance in between!!
Read the second ammendment.
Don’t be stupid. The war will be rural vs. cities. Cut running water and power…..the cities would fold in weeks.
A little bit too much law words for me, but in the simplicity of it is…… This has been a terrorist hijacking of the system, along with pawns committing treason!!! Regardless of what or how lawyers and politicians word our laws of this land, we are not obligated to follow any laws signed by enemies who have infiltrated the system, and they are not protected by our laws!!!!! The show has already been set up and we will be forced to play, but when the show starts, there will be no laws to protect the enemies within. Things will get very dark!! Good luck all. May god have mercy on us all.
