I can believe the military trains to put down attacks from within the US.

You are naive beyond belief. I trained in the Army in the late 60's on riot control. We trained how to move mobs using disciplined formations with fixed bayonets. There were seven levels of escalations before orders could be given to fire upon mobs with bullets.

Bush the first used IIRC about 20,000 to 25,000 regulars to quell riots in Los Angeles. Douglas MacArthur and George Patton used troops to fire upon the veterans in Washington, DC.

Riot control is NOT the same thing as a large scale, i.e. nationwide, plan to disarm otherwise peaceful gun owners and/or round up Christians. There are way too many conspiracy theories floating around. That’s the thing about conspiracy theories. They usually take very small pieces of information and blow them out of proportion. They are also almost always wrong.

“By the rude bridge that arched the flood..."

~~~~~~~

I have stood on the Patriots' side of that very bridge, imagined the tyrannical government's troops approaching on the other side -- and asked myself if I would have been willing to fire that shot.

I answered, "yes!" -- but, then, I realized that I knew my family was safe and I was risking nothing.

Not so for the Minutemen -- everything they owned and loved was at risk -- but one of them pulled the trigger anyway...

Watch the faces in military units when Øbozo speaks to them.

Deadpan...

With their friends and neighbors -- flying Old Glory -- in front of them, when it comes down to trigger time, you can bet the troops know who the fags and other Øbozo sympathizers among them are -- and the first rounds fired will be at them...

It would be a good idea for you to watch the video interview of Jim Garrow at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzT6X3_Bg9o. Watch it all the way through. The guy is, unquestionably, very knowledgeable about China -- and what he says about their attitude toward Øbozo may surprise you.

Clarification: I wasn't asking you to leave Free Republic. Heck, I've been a member since 2001 and don't want to leave either. I got the link to that video before the moderator yanked it and posted it to RochesterConservative.com, where we're having a discussion on it there. You're welcome to join in the discussion if you wish.

That’s what it’s all about.

Hence why I lost in the McQuaid spelling bee! On that day the word was "aisle". For the life of me, I couldn't fathom it!

Also, I was having a "there's no 'i' in 'team' " moment.

Training in the early 70’s was much the same.My personal belief, from what I know,yes I believe troops will fire if ordered.Sad but true.Straight leg infantry for six years,hopefully times have changed.If soldiers find out their loved ones have been killed,anger will prevail.

you do understand, if he went to the MSM he would be laughed out of the building and labelled a nutcase, then ridiculed relentlessly and i wouldnt put it past the govt to send out a group of highly trained men to “quiet” him with a dirt nap. i would also point out that i can name off the top of my head 5 generals/admirals in the past 6 months that have been “fired” or forced out for one reason or another that hardly adds up. im not going to say this article is true, but i sure as hell wont discount it as this is exactly what i was thinking when all the top brass heads started to roll.
