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 have said this is only way to get Obama out of office.
If the time comes we will do what we have to do because we’re Americans first. Anybody that argues against that point is not an American.
Us against the federal government or against rauner Illinois little$#%&!@*
Considering the contempt Hussein and his liberals have for LE and the military, I’d venture to guess many wouldn’t side with him if he tried to make himself Supreme Diktator. Outside of the liberal cities, there isn’t enough potential unrest for martial law to be necessary.
I am for peace; however, l am for war when it comes to protecting my loved one and country from foreign and domestic enemies.
It looks more like every day .
Rick Miller: Obama will not be around for long.

And how he became our president we dont know but sooner or later we will get the answer. God Bless America Semper Fi
Call the US Capitol and let them know that you OPPOSE SYRIAN REFUGEES in the United States! 1-202-224-3121 the operator will ask you what State, and transfer you to your Senator and your State Representative. It takes about 2 minutes. This bill has passed the house now it’s going to the Senate for a VOTE. This is very important you call to let your Senator know we are sick and tired of Obama jeopardizing America’s security. Keep America safe for your children and Grandchildren!
I am not sure the military would fight the Obama tyranny. This preconception of mine comes from a USMC recruiter of mine who, when I told him of Obama’s refusal to fight alongside France against Isis, he shrugged and said “We follow his orders.” I asked “even If we disagree with the orders?” “yes”.
Exhibit b is my former National guard mother who said Obama is the boss of the military and we have to do as he says.
I don’t know about the rest of you, but if Obama lights the fuse of this powder keg I promise I will throw my marine dog tags into the fire and fight for a free America.
