If you expect to see riots in the streets, think about what would happen if he announced that there would be no welfare checks because the evil republicans have blocked them. Would that then give him an excuse to declare martial law?

It wouldn't give him an excuse to impose martial law in flyover country.

Most of the combat certified brigades are overseas - foolish plan to declare Martial Law with them here or with them away. The Obama Brownshirt hordes would be slaughtered by patriots if he tried to us them. Purple shirts and brass knuckles don't stop a 30-06.

Anyway, martial law is only imposed to keep order in an area of unrest, it would not work for a country the size of the US. I doubt that many generals would be willing to commit their forces to impose such an order over the entire country. That is what they do in small banana republics not in a country the size the US.

I have to admit I wouldn’t serve this commander in chief. They’re getting screwed daily. We’ll never win a “war on terror” because we won’t do what would have to be done. So we keep sending soldiers back tour after tour. Now we don’t want to pay them.

I don’t think he would, as to many of his voting block are on either SS or SSI for a lot of phony mental illneses and drug addiction, he’d have a real revolt on his hands then.

And one of those FNC ctalking heads said the gov’t is obligated to pay the receiver. Most are auto deposited.

I’ve already unloaded on TN’s senators over this and the Military gutting...read my tag line.

Did anyone see that get-up that Pelosi was wearing yesterday. It was a hunched-up shoulders thing (probably very couture) that made her look like one of those visitors from Men in Black.

And tie their hands behind their backs with DUMB ROE’s.

I blame some of this on GW, he should have ordered every poppy field BURNED to the ground, and kept them burned to the ground, because that is their biggest funding source. It would have cut drug use in the US to boot.

Take it away and you might begin to get a handle on this. But as long as we are willing to look the other way at fanatics we won’t win.

They have held these beliefs since before the days of the Crusades. That the only good Christian or Jew was a dead one.

They keep cutting their pay and benefits and 0 will have to go for conscription, draft won’t work, as their kids would be made to go along with ours, while theirs will be officers, ours will be grunts for the most part. Mine are to old thankfully.

Our President has dropped some serious anti-american bombs during his reign. Most recently while addressing La Raza he indicated he felt confined by our democratic processes.

I’m willing to believe the loony cabal our President has surrounded himself with could conceive it as a viable control tactic. I’m willing, also, to believe they would willingly undertake to create a “crisis” as an excuse. But would our “boy president” go along ?

I can’t believe even our highly fustrated and immature president (as he’s increasingly shown himself to be), would take actions sure to instigate a civil rebellion. Congress, (having a high regard for their own necks) would halt such an action immediately. >PS

Anyone who spells martial law incorrectly, should have his posting priviledges taken away post-haste. NOT read.
