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?

It’s going to happen if Trump is not elected
People are tired of politicians
The fight for freedom,out weigh’s the fear of death,for a life without freedom isn’t life at all.
So maybe the government should get back to what it is suppose to be and not a tyranny and posts like this wouldn’t be a thought?? The US GOVERNMENT has grossly overreached especially during the 8 years of HELL under OBAMA!
You got that right..i never know whats coming next. ..
YES, THE GOVERNMENT WE NOW HAVE ,AND HAD IS OUT OF CONTROL AT ALL LEVELS. .. It seems to me that the Rice stay in power and make LAWS that helps them more then us…
The people of this Country has been blinds on, or there HEADS IN THERE$#%&!@*S. .
No matter, What is needed now may be a out right Civil War in this COUNTRY, I hate the idea of that , But it’s been coming for year’s. .
The good people need to stand up and put a stop to WASHINGTON running the show, the people need the say. NO MORE BIG GOVERNMENT ,NO MORE PUTTING OUR TAX DOLLARS IN YOUR POCKETS, REDUCE OUR GOVERNMENT SIZE BY HALF…GO BACK TO DOING THE RIGHT THING FOR THE PEOPLE OF THIS COUNTRY. …KEEP THE PROGRAM TO HELP OUR “VETERANS AND THE POOR,” NOT THEMSELVES
PEOPLE TALK OF TYRANNY, THIS MAYBE .BUT JUST THINK OF WHAT IS REALLY COMING. ???IF THE PEOPLE DON’T STAND UP NOW!!!!?? MORE TO COME LATER, (DAN) KEEP OUR EYES OPEN. ..
We need to see now that the idea of the government as currently manifested by overreach and dictatorial edicts can’t be sustained, this is borne out by the numbers of weapons and the the militarization of local police AND EVERY FEDERAL AGENCY AND ENTITY (the Education Dept. NOAA and The Social Security Dept ALL HAVE SWAT TEAMS).
We can f**e the Vietnam Cong as our example everyone was armed and by passive resistance and continued struggles the USA was brought to her knees.
The time to start is now: Stop giving them your will Stop voting Stop obeying Stop paying Taxes use the laws to keep your money in your pocket When you serve on a jury use nullification to not convict and to judge the law… Stop obeying the cops stop doing what you’re told stop and sit down stop working if your n government stop obeying if he laws and commands are immoral
Exactly we need to see that DHS was set up by the EAST GERMAN STAZI MARCUS WOLFE and that OPERATION PAPERCLIP BROUGHT THE CIA$#%&!@*OFFICERS AND OPERATIONS TOBTHE USA
I don’t know, let’s ask General Giap. In Vietnam War we won every battle, but lost the war. Let’s ask the Mujahideen, they defeated the Soviet Union using, rifles, Stinger missiles and a knowledge of their terrain. The common thread was their WILL TO WIN!
Go for it by all means. It’s our America, take it back!!
I have heard people have been talking of revolution for 3 years. Where have youguys Been?
