I was talking to someone about this before, he's a left winger who believes the world will collapse, the sky will fall, and all bad things will happen if the debt ceiling doesn't get raised, and it got me wondering, with so many looney lefties buying into the B.S. hype, would Obama use this as an excuse to declare Marshal Law or a state of emergency ?
I know it sounds crazy, and hell, I'm not a big conspiracy theory guy, but the media, is on his bandwagon, they are comparing the tea party to terrorists, they are predicting the end of the world on this, what is to keep Obama from declaring some kind of emergency that allows him to usurp the constitution ?
The democrats are already howling for him to invoke an imaginary interpretation of the 14th amendment (and ignoring Article 1 of the same constitution), and move ahead, in a dictatorial manner, with the media at his back, would he or will he try, to declare a state of emergency and move ahead with dictatorial powers ?
both parties plan to gut active duty Military & retirees...pay freeze for active duty. Going after the disabled Vets too.

That’s the plan.
Anyway, martial law is only imposed to keep order in an area of unrest, it would not work for a country the size of the US. I doubt that many generals would be willing to commit their forces to impose such an order over the entire country. That is what they do in small banana republics not in a country the size the US.
I have to admit I wouldn’t serve this commander in chief. They’re getting screwed daily. We’ll never win a “war on terror” because we won’t do what would have to be done. So we keep sending soldiers back tour after tour. Now we don’t want to pay them.
I don’t think he would, as to many of his voting block are on either SS or SSI for a lot of phony mental illneses and drug addiction, he’d have a real revolt on his hands then.
And one of those FNC ctalking heads said the gov’t is obligated to pay the receiver. Most are auto deposited.
I’ve already unloaded on TN’s senators over this and the Military gutting...read my tag line.
Did anyone see that get-up that Pelosi was wearing yesterday. It was a hunched-up shoulders thing (probably very couture) that made her look like one of those visitors from Men in Black.
And tie their hands behind their backs with DUMB ROE’s.
I blame some of this on GW, he should have ordered every poppy field BURNED to the ground, and kept them burned to the ground, because that is their biggest funding source. It would have cut drug use in the US to boot.
Take it away and you might begin to get a handle on this. But as long as we are willing to look the other way at fanatics we won’t win.
They have held these beliefs since before the days of the Crusades. That the only good Christian or Jew was a dead one.
They keep cutting their pay and benefits and 0 will have to go for conscription, draft won’t work, as their kids would be made to go along with ours, while theirs will be officers, ours will be grunts for the most part. Mine are to old thankfully.
Our President has dropped some serious anti-american bombs during his reign. Most recently while addressing La Raza he indicated he felt confined by our democratic processes.
I’m willing to believe the loony cabal our President has surrounded himself with could conceive it as a viable control tactic. I’m willing, also, to believe they would willingly undertake to create a “crisis” as an excuse. But would our “boy president” go along ?
I can’t believe even our highly fustrated and immature president (as he’s increasingly shown himself to be), would take actions sure to instigate a civil rebellion. Congress, (having a high regard for their own necks) would halt such an action immediately. >PS
I think Marshal is Jude Law’s brother.
Anyone who spells martial law incorrectly, should have his posting priviledges taken away post-haste. NOT read.
