the military will follow orders...the govt workers will follow orders...the cops will follow orders...

we have a govt class now that lives for their pensions...especially the military..

if they tell the military personal that to show "diversity" they would change to rainbow colored shirts and ball caps, or else, they would wear the rainbow colored shirts and ball caps...

its worse among the officers...

“”When leaders within the current administration believe that major threats to the country include those who support the Constitution, are military veterans, or even ‘cling to guns or religion,’ patriotic Americans have reason to be concerned,” Gohmert wrote.”

Gotta love this guy. He’s as straightforward as Cruz is.

Naah. Its you that needs to be committed if you think Obama can't do something like this. All you have to do is look st his record and at what he actually says. Mr “I have a pen and a phone” and “I am going to carry out my policies with or without congress” is capable of anything. A very close eye must be kept on this so-called military exercise. Citizens of Texas should be armed and vigilant. I trust Obama even less than the most poisonous snake.

Perhaps they are planning on making whichever city they occupy first an example.

The Gestapo was relatively small - 32,000 in 1944. They operated not only in Germany but in occupied territories. They used civilian informants and of course, fear and intimidation, in lieu of boots on the ground.

“Don’t fear our own soldiers, sailors, Marines or airmen. Fear the attempt by federal-pork-supported state and local socialists to violate your civil (constitutional) rights. And remember that those socialists are disseminating the crazy talk and trying to foment incidents to pass more laws and further violate your rights.”

I didn’t really but your posts until that paragraph. I hope people just watch what is going on cautiously and no incidents occur.

But I wouldn’t go so far as to say never fear our military. I wouldn’t now - but look at who the commander-in-chief is. I would be cautious who I trust, uniform or not. (And I have the utmost respect for our military heros.) But part of the Cloward_Pivan plan is to use our military against us. And at the rate the plan is being implemented, I’d be wary. Cautious, but wary.

Naah. It's you and your far left crazy pals at Salon.com that need tinfoil hats. If by this time you still don't see how truly evil Obama is, you have your head buried in the sand.

Are the insults necessary or do they make you feel better?

This has nothing to do with how evil Obama is. This has to do with tinfoil-wearing conspiracy nuts. Seriously, does anyone really think the US government is ready, willing, or able to impose martial law and that that is what they are practicing to do? Texans are smarter than this.

Ummm.. you started with the insults mate. I merely returned serve using your own words against you, which just happens to fit. Typical liberal! Great at calling names, not so good at getting a taste of their own medicine.

And it has everything to do with how evil Obama is. Texans are smart enough to remember how the last Democratic president used federal forces to slaughter women and children at Waco. And Obama is far more evil than Bill Clinton ever was.

Crazy talk? It’s insane talk. However the way you should deal with it is to confront it and deal with the underlying grievances, not tiptoe around it. That’s how separatist movements thrive: they address legitimate political grievances that are being ignored through the “solution” of separation. In some cases separation is a solution that actually makes sense. In the case of Texas it would just end badly for all concerned.

Odd isn’t it? I don’t recall significant numbers of citizens being concerned about military exercises 10 years ago.

Not really...

I always thought that Operation “Praying Mantis” should have been named:

“Go kick Iran’s [expletive deleted]”

But that was, at the time, my opinion...

They SHOULD BE WORRIED about the MUSLIM TAKEOVER of the OVAL OFFICE by an ILLEGAL ALIEN.

He's a BIBLICAL CURSE !

Obama is NOT Christian.
He's MUSLIM.

Didn't our Heavenly Father, through our Savior tell us...

How well we deserve this curse (~so shall the LORD bring upon you all evil things~) God has given us,
through the ILLEGAL ALIEN IN CHIEF, the FASCIST Obama.

Barack Hussein Obama II IS a Muslim.
His actions prove it.
To believe Barack Hussein Obama II, when he claims to be a Christian, is to trust Satan.
Muslims are well know for lying about their faith.

For a better understanding of the issue, read HISTORY of Mohammed ( spelled variously; Mahomet, Muhammed, Mehmet, etc. ).

>>>This type of conspiracy theories is so incredibly idiotic that anyone believing it should be committed.<<<

Maybe what you are saying was true before the current dictator-in-waiting came upon the scene. Call me what you will, but what I have seen concerning the destruction of our liberties in the short space that he has been in the white house is enough to convince me that anything is possible.

Just for sh!ts and grins, let's seal off Chicago. A look at a map shows that if you deploy your troops along I-294, you've got a nice, wide, flat kill zone, without cover or concealment.

This allows you to reduce the number of troop required. Cut the power, since most of the electricity generated is outside the city limits. Use image enhancement, FLIR and drone patrols, and you can see anything in the dark and kill it. Now, you can choke off any food or water going into the city. There is perhaps five days food, 24 hours of water, city wide, in stores and warehouses. Two weeks before surrender? A month until cannibalism?

I'm just a dumb ol' conservative. Imagine the super brains in the White House, and the Progressive faction in the Pentagon. These are the same guys that would claim, today, that the Ardennes Forest does not permit armored attacks...

Thanks for the explanation.

The Real Problem, IMHO, is that virtually no one outside the Ophonybama inner circle and the assorted hangers-on suckups TRUSTS anything the administration does or says!

The sonofabitch LIES!

We have a crisis in virtually every area of governance, and nothing the administration is doing seems to work to mitigate that crisis. In fact, EVERYTHING they do or say seems to make the situation worse.

Those of us who are vigilant have every right to be concerned for the future of the USA!

And, so long as Ophonybama and his LIEberal/Socialist/Marxist/Fascist thugs are in control of events both at home and abroad, we will remain so.
