Greg Littell, writing for a Western Nevada journal called “The Union,” has said in a op-ed article that the idea of armed rebellion against a tyrannical United States would be impossible because of a perceived weapons disparity. Essentially, Mr. Littell believes that a militia conceivably armed with AR-15s would be forced to back down because this tyrant could threaten to use nuclear weapons. Therefore, the only “rational course” to take would be Gandhi-esque civil disobedience and that refusing to work would grind the tyrannical government to a halt. Let’s back up a little and really analyze what Mr. Littell is saying.
First of all, let’s not be Polly-Annish about this. Barack Obama has already enforced his will on federal and state governments repeatedly in order to instill his liberal agenda on the American citizen. Between stuffing Syrian “refugees” into whatever corners of America will take them, attacking our Second Amendment rights, and repressing Christian Americans, Obama could already be called something of a tyrant. All that really remains between Barack Obama leaving office in 2016 and Barack Obama becoming President-For-Life is the support of the military. However, Obama has repeatedly slandered military leaders and attacked military establishments and traditions, so it is safe to assume the military would not back an Obama-led dictatorship. Any overtures of retaining his Presidency after the end of his office term would be quashed by the dutiful generals who serve on behalf of the American people.
Secondly, why would soldiers launch nukes on their own homes? Greg Littell is laboring under a literary fantasy more befitting a Tom Clancy novel than domestic politics. Mr. Littell’s genocidal fantasy may work for his own whims to quash Obama-dissenters, but fails to consider that the men behind the button are better Americans than he is and would be unwilling to act so coldly on their own families. One wonders what Mr. Littell imagines he would do?
Let’s accept the scenario Mr. Littell has given us. What would you do if Obama wrested control of the military, enacted martial law and you’ve taken up arms to cast him out of power? If this is the case, how would patriots get around federal maneuvers to launch nuclear missiles on American cities?

Most Americans now despise obama
I always did
I agree that we may need our guns to fight the tyrants, but these are not liberals. They are the massively wealthy elite that want to take our rights and freedoms and divide our country into right and left with hate and fear speech. There’s no attack on Christianity by the left. It’s a scam promoted by the elite bankers and their paid pals. Too bad so many bigoted, racist, uneducated, uninformed by critical personal analysis, hating people, are the ones with the most guns.
I don’t know.Today i heard from one British woman that she likes Putin.Yes he is ready to fight alone and this is real man but think you must think for one country not from her government but from the people.A lot of people in the world hate americans.Why?There is difference from government and people.I have no problem with you people.Do you know what is wondering me for fist time i see an american to like russian politician so much.I don’t believe in politicians especially in the Western world including and our own dicks.They divide it Europe.The last white south african sold his country USA & Canada have the same fate and in Australia these politicians will be happy to see more diversity.
Yes there are a lot of liars out there for sure

Looming spectre is absolutely beautiful speech. Your move Barry.
My buddy is a vet and says his other buddies that served are prepared to defend this country, not the government. Hopefully they, and I are not the only one.
