FYI and comment.

I don't doubt for a minute that after 39 months of an Obama administration and the fact that a massive leftist media that supports his brand of socialism, that those of us on the right are fed up to the point of vomiting.

Unfortunately, this has been going on for many administrations and it appears that a horrible disease affects those who decide that a lifetime career in national politics is for them and, after being elected, it is their entitled place in Congress until they die or get tossed out.

America is dying in red ink and in a non-existant philosophy.

It’s not about Obama. He’s not taking the country anywhere that the New World Order types in the GOP don’t want to go. The Muslims want a world wide caliphate, the western elites want a neo feudalism.

” Or are you an American Exceptionalist who will STAND with me,RIGHT NOW to preserve our liberty,our beliefs and the American Way?”

So, is this a call to arms?
Cold about to go hot?

If cold is about to go hot, the power elite seems to know it. But those drones set to fly over U.S. territory won`t be armed, we`ve been oh-so-strongly assured...

Keep your powder dry.

Violence is required under only extreme circumstances (suspension of the constitution, refusing to transition after an election)

Until then, stay aware, voice your opinion and prepare.

That oath has no expiration date.

That is correct. An oath once taken, is binding forever.

I think the likelihood of a full out civil war is remote. However, there may be increases in civil strife especially as the country becomes demographically more diverse and we import more ethnic groups that will not assimilate. As an aside, I think this is a good reason to encourage your sons/nephews to get some type of military training. In addition to simply being a hallmark of a good citizen, it may come in handy some day...plus we need good men in all branches of the service.

Greetings IbJensen:

A cold civil war, very articulate summary. Perhaps The National Debt Relief Amendment is a way to rein in the out of control government.

Pray for our republic,
OLA

With a population of 300 million that is also well armed a standing Federal Army of 500,000 isn't enough troops to occupy Arkansas let alone the entire USA. Even if you add the police that is only a million troops. The standing Federal Army is too small for the statist dream of martial law.

Half the standing Army would throw down anyway if told to occupy a state.

It took Hitler 500,000 troops just to occupy Yugoslavia during WWII.

“Half the standing Army would throw down anyway if told to occupy a state.”

When Qaddafi ordered his army to attack Libyans, more than half the army deserted to the provincial militias, which are equivalent to our state’s guards.

Qaddafi then ordered his mercenary goons to round up eight deserters and execute them. Within a week, his mercenaries were hanging from lampposts as decorations, while others were running like scared rats for the Niger border.

By the next week, Qaddafi had been captured, thrown on the hood of a militia SUV and executed with his own gold-plated pistol. More than 7,000 Qaddafi supporters and mercenaries are in various militia prisons, their fate unknown.

If you’re going to order your military out to kill their neighbors, families and friends, expect the consequences.

DO the math. 50 states in the union. 500,000 man Army. Thats average of10,000 troops per state. At any given time 1/3 are on duty, 1/3 are sleeping. 1/3 doing maintenance etc. 1/3 of 10,000 is 3,333 soldiers on duty to patrol an entire state. LOL. Let’s say each state has 50 counties. That is 66 guys, or an undersized infantry company i.e. 2 platoons, to patrol an entire county. The numbers are not there.

Yes and in addition to that some 14 states thankfully including GA have already passed legislation putting state guard/militia under the Gov to go agains’t the Feds if they declare martial law and try to take over. If CW2 breaks out its going to be the states vs the Feds not the civilians out in the streets. That is the way it needs to go down.

Our Federal Army is great at defeating a small to mid sized Armies in an out and out war. It sucks at occupation. This is a factor of size and mental outlook. Occupations are boring low tech police type operations, no glamor.

Afghanistan has a pop approx. 30 million. To have the same ratio here it would require 1,000,000 troops.
