US Army Stocking Up on Riot Gear & Training [Satire]
A Semi-News/Semi-Satire from AzConservative ^ | 8 March 2009 | John Semmens

Posted on 03/10/2009 12:06:23 PM PDT by John Semmens

The federal government is budgeting funds for an anticipated “hot summer” of domestic unrest.

“With the likes of Limbaugh, Santelli, Cramer and others stirring up trouble with their repeated expressions of disrespect toward the President, we’ve got to be prepared,” said the President’s Press Secretary, Robert Gibbs. “We cannot tolerate any destabilizing demonstrations of disloyalty during these times of severe economic crisis.”

Gibbs warned that “the army has been training assiduously for this sort of contingency since day-one of this Administration. There is an old saying from World War II that ‘loose lips sink ships.’ Well, we cannot afford to allow the loose lips of talk radio to sink the American ship of state. The President has said he will take whatever action he deems necessary to see that this doesn’t happen. He will not be deterred by formalistic notions regarding freedom of speech or assembly that may conflict with his intent to transform this country.”

Sounds like Barry's planning to arrest Rush for expressing his free speech. We're definitely living in a Communist country.

Once the soapbox is taken away the only box that will be left is the ammo box.

That's exactly what it sounds like. I can't think of a dumber move for Barry to make.

People who post from this site need to label it as satire in the title. This stuff is way too close to the truth and people who don’t read the source get worked up, including me. Heaven help FR if people start making “threatening” statements based on satire.

Do you think if riots begin to break out, the Supreme Court will finally decide to determine the kenyan usurper’s “natural born” status?

““We cannot tolerate any destabilizing demonstrations of disloyalty”

I thought “dissent was patriotic”?

people stocking up on guns and ammo will be easier to target by a hostile government. Every honest citizen that is stocking up has registered their firearms automatically when they do the background check. Also, they have your reciepts on digits within FBI databases. It would be pretty foolish for individuals also to announce to the world that they are stocking up on guns and ammo for this makes them an easier target.

John, my rear end was already up out of my seat and I was about to start screaming ... and then I looked at the source.

Well done ...

How reliable is the source of the rumor?

The only troops Obama can personally command is the United States Marine Corps Band.

It’s a BS story, the riot gear is normal stock for The Military prison at Fort Leavenworth Kansas.

Our soldiers don’t need riot gear, they have body armor.

DUH!

It's satire by the master ... DUH!

He nearly got me this time too and I've been enjoying his stuff for a while.
