The difference between the collectivist Left and those who value Liberty is very simple to see.
Most of us in this forum would say, if a Blue state wanted to secede, let them. However, the Leftists would sic the full force of the military on any state that attempted to secede. They would bring tanks, artillery, and aerial bombing.
That is if one assumes that those military people would fire upon fellow citizens. I know for a fact, that over 80 percent would not.
So that leaves us with 20 percent that might.
Either way, a general killing will result. Question is...who will blink first?
Should Obama give such an order, there would be instantaneous mutiny within the ranks of our armed forces. Perhaps as many as a third of military personnel would be willing to follow such a blatantly tyrannical, unconstitutional order, but most would not.
The patriot majority within the US military would quickly arrest, detain, and even execute those who were intent upon firing upon their own countrymen, quickly followed by the arrest and imprisonment of all those in the chain of command (elected civilians included) who had anything to do with it.
Such an order would spell doom for the treasonous left in this country. The People are just barely containing themselves now. Directing military force against the civilian population of a secessionist state would ignite the second American Revolution, which the feds would lose.
This isn't 1861. There will be no move to stop any state from seceding through force.
Don’t forget tactical nukes...it was a Democrat after all that dropped A bombs on Japan!
