You damn betcha!
“Why don’t you think they want a massive revolution? Haven’t their actions in many cases been designed to provoke such a thing?”
“They” don’t want any such thing. An armed conflict with the American people is unwinnable, for a laundry list of reasons, chief among them being the sheer scale and size of a likely citizen army. It would number in the tens of millions, and would dwarf the standing armies of the world, combined.
Remember that our entire military was bogged down in Iraq for ten years. It’s been estimated that there were never more than 15,000 insurgents in the fight at any time.
And people fearfully imagine that our military could somehow defeat Millions of their own countrymen, on their own soil?
Even if given such orders, how many would suddenly realize they’re being conscripted to commit treason? I guarantee you, most would, and would refuse such orders. Such an order would more likely result in the arrest of the executive branch and the top brass.
Trust in this: Our government has war gamed the scenario of armed rebellion many times, and every time, they’ve come up with the same result. We win, they lose. The feds may push the envelope, but they’re not insane enough to attempt to subjugate us by force. Not as long as we’re armed, anyway.
This is why the Framers put the 2nd Amendment into the Bill of Rights.
Excellent response, thank you WF. That’s probably why they just sort of pick us off, one “situation” at a time, instead of wholescale direct confrontation with 100% of us.
It is my opinion that the number one threat to this nation is the FBI. This institution must and will be defunded and replaces with American Patriots. James Comey is a political whore of sickening depth. I believe he must be impeached and legally imprisoned for obvious corruption. All members of the FBI who have nor resigned must be FIRED!! NO RETIREMENT. This is a national Crises of historic corruption levels. Go TRUMP!!

That’s how I see it, except I see their war against the sovereign people of America as much bigger, more stealthy, and much more sophisticated than the occasional Ruby Ridge or Amon Bundy standoff.
I think such incidents are just part of the inevitable friction between a free people and an overbearing, overgrown federal bureaucracy, that has long grown accustomed to asserting authority not granted to it by the Constitution.
The real war is being carried out every day in smoky back rooms, federal agency conferences, liberal faculty lounges, news media planning meetings, Senate and House offices, leftist NGOs and think tanks, etcetera.
Those groups collectively plot and scheme to chip away at the foundations of our country. Little by little, they and their fellow travelers have been unraveling the very fabric of our nation. The toll over the long haul has been tremendous, and has nearly brought America to her knees.
If Hillary Clinton wins the election it will mean the final door has closed on the peaceful resolution of the ongoing conflict between the citizens and those who’ve usurped our government. The people will be left with very few options, and none of them will be pleasant.
Opening statement by Trump: ‘one my opponents earliest evil accomplishments was to thwart justice and get a rapist off with a light sentence, she bragged about it......even though the 12 year old girl was scared for life’.....True or false Hillary?

That ‘girl’ (now a woman) needs to be at the debate. Front row.
Whatever se says, he needs to hit her so hard in that opening statement that she never recovers.
As a nation, we really are at a pivotal point. You know how sometimes the phrase is used “Is this the hill you really want to die on?”? If they steal the election, it seems increasingly clear that patriots will have to seriously answer that question. November 8 will be a momentous date, one way or the other.
Fortunately, there are several very effective things that can be tried before resorting to the last ‘box’ at our disposal.
None of them are easy, and all will require a whole new level of determination and citizen activism than most of us have ever engaged in, but they’re workable. We’re just going to have to get off our duffs and fight like we’ve never fought before.
Per Politico, The topics include "America's Direction," "Achieving Prosperity" and "Securing America."
Seems like it should be able to be worked into a security answer...
Better solutions BUMP! Thanks, Right-wing Librarian.
: )
It is more that the question comes, we’ve had a tradition of peaceful transitions for centuries. Is this going to be the one where it doesn’t happen? Obama has ignored every bit of tradition of the office. He’s trashed the office and treated it like his own private playground. Never have we had a sitting president interfere so much in the presidential elections.
