Besides, Obama already killed Anwar al-Awlaki, a U.S. citizen, without judicial process, which is prohibited by the Constitution, and is an impeachable offense, so this new info is consistent with Obama's past behavior.
I would say it is true.
My niece, who is in the Air Force, was just promoted.
And during her oral questioning, was asked if she were willing to fire on US citizens if ordered to do so.
(She said they told her not to answer, it was a rhetorical question.)
I think they may have been watching body language, when she was asked.
Well, that convinces me. /s
If this "military hero" is so concerned, he ought to call a news conference and tell the entire country what he knows.
It would be a risk for sure, but that's what heroes do.
How reliable is the source? (The Examiner)
Supposedly the hero is retired, and the active duty officer (who the hero had mentored) who told him about the litmus test also retired because he couldn’t agree to it.
So there are two men beyond having their military careers harmed (except for consulting, etc.) who believe that Obama is planning a military dictatorship. They themselves are not yet coming forward.
I’ll believe this when officers with names step forward and say it.
He would need more than officers who would order their men to fire on citizens. He would need soldiers willing to carry out those orders.
Probably.
Examiner blog sucks and zotted Joe Newby sucks even harder.
But hey, you like blogs, right?
The military has been used in the past to break up protests:
In July 1932, Patton served under Army Chief of Staff General Douglas MacArthur as a major commanding 600 troops of the 3rd Cavalry Regiment. On 28 July, MacArthur ordered these troops to advance on protesting veterans known as the “Bonus Army” in Washington, D.C. with tear gas and bayonets. One of the veterans dispersed by the cavalry was Joe Angelo, who had saved Patton’s life in World War I.
Patton was dissatisfied with MacArthur’s conduct as he recognized the legitimacy of the veterans’ complaints and had himself earlier refused to issue the order to employ armed force to disperse the veterans.
Patton later stated that, though he found the duty “most distasteful,” he also felt that putting the marchers down prevented an insurrection and saved lives and property. He personally led the 3rd Cavalry down Pennsylvania Avenue dispersing the protesters.
The above is per Wikipedia and can be found under George S. Patton (Jr.). Further information can be read under “Bonus Army”.
Will U.S. troops fire upon civilians? I believe so. There exists more than one reason BHO2 would give such an order, but generally he thrives on the pain and chaos it will cause Americans.
We should not give BHO2 any opportunity to declare Martial Law against conservative America. Everyone knows what I’m talking about here: we can’t prevent Detroit, Los Angeles, or Phiadelphia, from going ballistic and burning their cities down, but we can be smart and not provide a target for the administration.
“....and is an impeachable offense....”
.
Them are fighting words to the administration especially when Obama is unimpeachable.
If you think I don’t know what I’m talking about, name me JUST ONE congresscritter with the brass to start impeachment procedures.
I’m waiting....

Well when the Czars officers ordered their troops to fire on their fellow Russians, how did that turn out for the officers....
Some may fire back.
So if Obama is a US citizen..........
I think this is very likely true... all signs are definitely leading to it complete with the push for gun control.
Makes sense to me. What good is NDAA without the right people to enforce it!
I’ll believe it, maybe, when the “military hero”—the “former senior military leader”—tells us all. And that’s a maybe.
Has it ever happened in another country? If so, it can happen here, given enough time.
Just like Germany in the 30’s...and we dumb Americans used to ask the question how could German citizens have been so stupid in electing Adolph Hitler.
If something like this would have been said of any previous president, the country and MSM would have been up in arms.
What a repulsive notion — a president who is looking for people willing to kill those who put him in office.
It just shows how low we have sank as a nation.
