Are you saying that such a scenario is impossible?

So who in Homeland is going to fire on civilians Sarah?
They have proved their loyalty to their union, their jobs, to butch Janet.
Who in our government are you calling potential Nazis?
All union employees.
The National Guard?
No, they are patriots.
Local law enforcement?
There will be a divide in police forces across the country. Some will be union thugs, and others will be patriotic Americans.
The capital police?
Without a doubt.
The Marines?
All but the top brass will comport themselves as the patriots they are.
Or secret black helicopters with Men in Black willing to act as Obamas pratoreon guard?
Drones, and a new generation of mercenaries.

It boggles that you think this administration benign.

Not to put too fine a point on it, and by no means to be disagreeable with your many valid points or you, but regarding the National Guard I think there may be a difference. A couple of things, I noticed Mao-Bama photo ops during the ‘12 campaign that featured people in uniform and started paying attention to the demographics. Nothing scientific and presuming they were in fact Guard or even military related people and not props, those people in his background were often largely africanhyphenamerican and/or women. Given that that demographic is very loyal to Hussein Mao-Bama, are they likely to hold fire on people who are obviously not his rabid supporters?

Another point, two Novembers ago I was in Charleston SC visiting my daughter. We went to the Veterans Day Parade. There were a lot of well disciplined formations from the armed forces in the parade but, there were also formations from local JROTC programs from high schools outside Charleston consisting largely of africanhyphenamericans and/or women. Not all, but most were strikingly undisciplined. They were not marching in formation as one would expect a well trained outfit to march rather swaying along chanting different chants by the “formation” sometimes even dancing past the Exchange Building where we were viewing. This reminded me of reports a few years back that were posted here about africanhyphenamerican leaders sponsoring JROTC formations of young ahyphenas who it was posited were being trained to be a sort of a militia to take on the white man.

I truly don’t mean to make this stuff racist, it is what I have observed. My only point being that I would not be so sure about the National Guard. I would also point out that there is another paramilitary organization, the blue shirts of the TSA who are only too happy to perform invasive searches on specific groups of people not including those of the islamic persuasion.

I was in the Corps stationed on Pendleton when the LA Riots broke out in the 90s. We were ordered to get staged and be ready to crush that.

I'll just say this. We were hesitant NOT.
