Sure they will, like sheep in line for the slaughter.
But I'm hoping there'll be a few states and enough people with their heads screwed on straight that draw the line for freedom and the Constitution right here.
As Reagan used to say, If not now, when? If not us, who?
Well, I think you’re pretty close in your analysis of Obama.
I do think he’s detached and isolated, but I don’t think he’s a suicide case. However, he’s a true believer in collectivism and does seem to not love America.
He’s conflicted because part of him knows the truth but that part is relatively new compared to his forty-some years of isolation and indoctrination of loving Communism and hating America.
Regardless of our conjecture of his psychological makeup, the greater concern is the psychological makeup of enough Americans who should be standing opposed to him and on the national and state level should be repealing and nullifying his illegal acts and moving for impeachemt.
Police are taught that they are not under federal control. Part of their training.
Of course it will become a Gestapo. There is no stopping these people.
Great info Pining_4_TX. Do you know exactly what they are told?
My reservation is if some police training schools are in cahoots with the feds and are not telling cadets that feds states have never delegated to the feds the constitutional authority to control police.
Yep - and when we refuse to vote against such as him, this is what we will get in ever increasing doses.
“Have you or anyone here actually read this ?”
Yes, I have actually read this and other related documents that follow the same theme.
I also have other information on the topic not in the article that is truly frightening.
This is an unlawful, unconstitutional power grab by evil people. They want to turn our great country into a totalitarian dictatorship.
I can only give you one example I heard firsthand from a former police officer. The training officer asked the cadets if the president of the US pointed to some person and ordered them to arrest him, should they do it? The correct answer was “no”, that the president did not have that authority over them.
I can ask for more specifics and relay them to you, if you wish.
BTW, this former officer is passionate about preserving local control over law enforcement and says it is an important protection against federal tyranny. Most countries, like France, have a federal police force that don’t know the locals and don’t necessarily have any attachment to the community they police.
19th century Justice Joseph Story had indicated that protection against federal tyranny was the main purpose of the 2nd Amendment.
§ 1890. The importance of this article will scarcely be doubted by any persons, who have duly reflected upon the subject. The militia is the natural defense [sic] of a free country against sudden foreign invasions, domestic insurrections, and domestic usurpations of power by rulers. It is against sound policy for a free people to keep up large military establishments and standing armies in time of peace, both from the enormous expenses, with which they are attended, and the facile means, which they afford to ambitious and unprincipled rulers, to subvert the government, or trample upon the rights of the people. The right of the citizens to keep and bear arms has justly been considered, as the palladium of the liberties of a republic; since it offers a strong moral check against the usurpation and arbitrary power of rulers; and will generally, even if these are successful in the first instance, enable the people to resist and triumph over them. And yet, though this truth would seem so clear, and the importance of a well regulated militia would seem so undeniable, it cannot be disguised, that among the American people there is a growing indifference to any system of militia discipline, and a strong disposition, from a sense of its burthens, to be rid of all regulations. How it is practicable to keep the people duly armed without some organization, it is difficult to see. There is certainly no small danger, that indifference may lead to disgust, and disgust to contempt; and thus gradually undermine all the protection intended by this clause of our national bill of rights [emphases added]. — Amendment II: Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 3:§§ 1890–91
