Ben Carson: Can Obama use martial law to keep White House post 2016
Communities Digital News ^ | November 19, 2015 | James Richard Edwards

Posted on 12/17/2015 3:16:24 PM PST by SetFree

Carson went on liberal radio host Alan Colmes’ radio show...He said that there may not even be elections in 2016; when pressed to explain further, Carson said,

“If in fact we continue to have all these decrees being made the way they’re being made, if in fact we don’t fight the kind of war that needs to be fought in order to really put an end to the threat that is brought on by ISIS, if we continue along a pathway of financial irresponsibility, if we continue along a path of envy, greed, and hatred — what happened with Occupy Wall Street will be a cakewalk compared to what will begin to happen in this country.”

When Colmes pushed Carson further on the possibility of cancelled or postponed elections, Carson responded, “I don’t want to find out, I really don’t want to find out. I don’t want to continue down this pathway that we are going down. This pathway where everything is framed in a political sense and our representatives are not working for the people, they’re working for their party.”

Could terrorists in America; Muslim refugees/immigrants; Islamic provocateurs; the provocateurs instigating Black Lives Matter; drug cartels; gangs; progressive/liberal militants; and others knowingly (or unknowingly) work enough chaos in America for the President to willingly declare martial law and suspend the 2016 elections? Could he use the Federal civilian armed agents instead of the US Military to do the similar? Perhaps, Jade Helm 15 was mainly to pre- position hardware?

Like Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals: RULE 1: “Power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have. RULE 9: “The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.” RULE 11: “The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.” Never let the enemy score points because you’re caught without a solution to the problem.

Never mind that Abe Lincoln fought a massive Civil War, but maintained elections - odumbo is NOT Lincoln. Of course he could.

I’ve been screaming about this since his very first blatantly unconstitutional and illegal acts.

If he doesn’t follow the law now, why would he suddenly do it in January 2017?

Obama suspend the elections? No....he's not quite that stupid. That's what libs said BushII was going to do in 2004.

No president, not even a dope like King Barack, would be that dumb. It would mean civil war. Carson is off base with that remark.

If Obama were to suspend the Constitution, wouldn't that eliminate his office?

IIRC — Lincoln jailed Northern newspaper editors who tried to influence public opinion against the continued invasion and occupation of the Southern States.

It will never happen. This is tin foil hat talk and I am sort of amazed that Carson, as educated as he is, would go down that rabbit hole. Then again, he has said some goofy stuff in the past.

The more important question is, can The People use the Second Amendment if he does?

Hussein would need to move into Cheyenne Mountain. No more golf.

We’ll find out in 2017, won’t we?

I’d rather he move to Yucca Mountain.

Sadly, the required isotopes are no longer planned for that site.

A friend and I have been talking about this for years. Of course he could and would.

Mr. Lincoln NEVER, EVER fought a Civil War. Ever, ever.

Mr. Lincoln fought a war against people who refused to pay punitive taxes. (he also brought in foreigners to KILL AMERICANS)

Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia paid 80% of all taxes collected at the federal level. 90% of the taxes collected at the federal level went to infrastructure improvements in the norther states..

God, I hate public schools.. I really do..

“Can” is irrelevant. “Will” is what matters.

I’ve heard this crap from people in the party out of power every election since 1972, when a lot of McGovern people thought Nixon would declare martial law. Not going to happen.

You are wrong. He will do it. And we will do NOTHING, but post outrage on Free Republic. And the military will do nothing. And the Oath Keepers will do nothing.

Because of the Second Amendment, saved for when it matters.

You sound just like me! We The Sheeple don't ever seem to make much of a fuss, do they?
