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?

That is what Obama wants and is pushing for. We need to turn to God to save our nation
i like to believe that if it came down to it, many of our police, military, and national guard would leave their posts to return home to fight along side their familys. Hopefully returning home with ordinance to level the playing field.
Ben Carson for president.
It is sad that this is subject of conversation these days. I noticed how, in his last state of the union, Obama played on the emotion of the left and not their intellect or ability to understand if he actually pointed out policy portions. This is a problem from both sides, most folks are acting out on emotional based decisions and not their intellect. Hopefully we will continue with peace and Obama will be a bad memory facing charges with Clinton when and if we get a true conservative president that is not a career politician.
When it gets to this point money, for the most part, will become worthless
Oregon police, unlike texas and Wyoming, sided with the feds when the BLM took over the ranchers land and resources. Im pretty sure it would be a split between the values of the different states. There would be a resistance still but the blue states municipalities would side with the feds for sure. Hopefully peace would prevail in all aspects of this country and we get a president who isn’t a race and political baiting POS. I hope we get a president that brings the people together again. The idiologs who act on emotion and not facts or intellect should not be heard or ever considered.
If this is what it takes, GO FOR IT.
If the elected holding office continue to screw us I see this happening in the near future, loaded and ready.
Tick tock…
