"Liberty's Last Stand"
Regnery Publishing ^ | 2016 | Stepen Coonts

Posted on 06/21/2016 9:59:02 AM PDT by OregonRancher

Islamic terrorists lit the fuse… …but a treacherous president planted the bomb.

And that’s only the beginning, in the most daring and exciting thriller ever from the pen of sixteen-time New York Times bestselling author Stephen Coonts.

With the nation in shock over the latest Islamist outrage, the president imposes martial law, cancels the imminent presidential election, and suspends the Constitution. In response, Texas secedes—and what follows is the bloodiest, most harrowing internal insurrection since the Civil War.

In the center of the action are former CIA director Jake Grafton and former CIA operative Tommy Carmellini with a mission unlike any they’ve had before: save the country from its own president.

With the country in flames, riots in the cities, and America’s armed forces pitted against each other, the American people are confronted with the ultimate political question: Who are we, what do we stand for, and what are we prepared to do about it?

Violent and shocking, pulse-racing in its intensity, with drama ripped from today’s headlines, Liberty’s Last Stand is a thriller like no other.


TOPICS: Constitution/Conservatism; Government; Politics/Elections
KEYWORDS: books; fiction; politicalprescience
With 180 days before he leaves office, the Prez imposes martial law and Texans do what Texans do!! The authors prescience of coming events is uncanny as actual events foreshadow what is happening in his narrative.

He will not impose martial law because he has Zero support to do so. The military will turn on him and bust him if he tries.

In response, Texas secedes

Yeah, but they would likely elect Sheila Jackass Lee as their President. Lol

But hey, at least the number of slaves...er, citizens, asking for permission to open carry their firearms might go up!

I just finished the book, and it was great. I especially liked the ending with the exchange between President Barry Soetoro and his top advisor (based on Valerie Jarrett)

One would hope so, but he has removed most of the top leadership for individuals who get his stamp of approval. So it's not a sure thing.

There has been a reverse purge going on for over a year now. Most of his leaders have been purged since the new JCOS Dunford took over. The #1 Obo Robot (Lt Gen John Lewis) got kicked out 1 month into Dunford’s tenure. They are kicking out Col, Lt Col, Major and Capt level enmasse right now.

With the nation in shock over the latest Islamist outrage, the president imposes martial law, cancels the imminent presidential election, and suspends the Constitution.

And, in so doing, he 'suspends' his/her own legal authority as President. That's the legal reality there. Should any President of the United States attempt to alter the Constitution in any manner, outside of the amendment process outlined in said document, he/she then is waging war on the United States, which is one of the very definitions of Treason, under said document.

In short, it cannot be done, legally. Attempting to do so is not only Treason, it is a public statement that "might makes right". Now, how well do you think *that* will fly?

How did this new guy get appointed if he doesn’t agree with Obama? Is it possible the rats are starting to leave the ship since they know Obama will let be gone soon?

After reading the book, I’m very surprised that the author has not been renditioned to a dirt floored cell
in Yeman.

Ask the same question how President Al SiSi became Joint Chiefs Chairman in Egypt who then overthrew Morsi.
