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.”

The law is not enforced. Who’s to stop him?

I don’t doubt some brave souls may actually shoot someone or commit some other “terrorist” acts. There is no way an organized rebellion with any chance of success can happen. First, there would be no news of any event taking place. You think the pressure that no terrorist attack took place in California was something, wait until the first shots of rebellion are fired. No one but the ones involved with the incident will know about it. An official taken out, simple, heart attack. etc. etc.

Unintended Consequences was a novel. Fiction...

Why does Obama need to suspend elections when the Democrats already have them rigged?

Well, Obama did try marital law and that worked.

Absolutely no one. And if the citizens try, he'll turn to his handpicked sycophant generals running the military, and if that doesn't work then he'll turn to the UN. The Chinese will be happy to oblige and restore order. It'll get bad.

I believe a large amount of civil disobedience would be the result. I would probably get a Harley, grow my hair long and change my name to “Snake”.

The members of Congress have already demonstrated they are capable, willing, and have given aid and comfort to the enemy. The members of Congress have no loyalty to the Constitution and would pervert it for their own gain.

Both houses - both Parties - have been doing that for quite some time.

Currently Obama is somewhat restrained by being POTUS...

Out of office, he can do much more damage...

He might not be President. But he might be Dictator. Isn’t that what he is now?

Those of you who don’t see this as a possibility seem to not really know Obama and the demonstrated passivity of the opposition party - of which I am not a member.

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.

And you don't think that's what he wants? As soon as the country is in a SHTF turmoil, his work will be done and he will flee the country.

I’ve worried about this for years. He’s not above doing anything sinister to achieve his evil goals.

Daddy always said that Mr. Lincoln did not have to have that
war. There were inventions coming along very soon that would
have rendered slavery obsolete. - My great-great grandfather
was a Rebel soldier at Shiloh. He said it was a horrible
mess and a confusion; so many died. I grew up living not far
from Shiloh. I’m 69. When I was a child, the Bloody Pond at
Shiloh was still a deep, dark bloody color; even the rocks
in the pond were stained by the blood of men from both sides. It has faded over the years. - He did not have any
slaves.
