Jeez, every election year someone on FR posts that there won’t be an election due to Obama declaring martial law.

“Jeez, every election year...” Just voicing my concerns. Thanks for your input.

I’ve heard that from the party out of power every election since 1972, when the McGovernites were convinced Nixon would declare martial law and cancel the election.

There are 3,000 counties and about 20,000 incorporated cities and towns within 3.8 million square miles of the United States.

These people hawking martial law can never answer the question about who will enforce the martial law dictatorship. I won’t even get into the number of arms and ammo in the possession of American citizens.

Generally, I agree with you. But for some reason this year feels different in every respect. It's much more confrontational, and is increasingly headed towards violence.

Martial Law may be a bit of a stretch, but I wouldn't be surprised if things went in that direction if the left (and it looks like they are going to) lose their control over the levers of power.
