Er...well... I think it's a question of just how badly Zero can abuse the privilege of Executive Order. He could see it coming and declare martial law, suspend habeas corpus and call up the military. Hmmm...sounds a tad familiar! Although, statistically 70% of our current military doesn't empathize with him or leftists. So I'm not sure it would work out the way he thinks. It's difficult to say.:-)

Honestly...I don't have a good answer for your question. All I know is that leftists in power do NOT part with it willingly or readily. They'll spill blood before giving it up. Granted, they'll preserve their own skins until it's simply no longer possible, but if what we're observing continues to digress, there won't be anything happening that's civil enough to run through the courts.

I still have many friends in uniform, from boots to brass and everywhere in between and we all communicate almost daily.

Obama had better not depend on those who took an oath to defend the constitution and the people against his type....

He ain’t too bright, but I sure hope he is smarter than that...

Given the choice between following his order, going muzzle to muzzle with citizens or ignoring his order, in their defense, it could turn out to be his worst day ever.

He certainly has been trying to draw other "Lincolnesque" parallels.

“leftists in power do NOT part with it willingly or readily.”

That is a good insight. The leftists, shockingly, also have command of the military and other armed forces in the US. Despite what many people believe, leftists are violent people and if they feel threatened they will use violence to control or destroy their opposition.

To avoid the violence that could be unleashed by the left, Americans must take an economic approach to their defeat. An essential part of the strategy to defeat the left is economic. True Americans have to cut off the supply of money to the left and must obtain a strong flow of financial support themselves. If just one state threatened to hinder the flow of tax money to the central government in some manner, that would get the leftists’ attention. If a movement arose to weaken the debt funding of the leftist central government, that might get their attention. Defaulting on the bonds that fund the national debt would be very harmful to Americans, in the short term, but just the threat of that (which already exists from bond rating agencies) might eventually constrain some of the wild socialist spending.

Allies are crucial, both here and abroad. Which nations benefit from an economically strong US? Where is the American who will step up and combat Soros’ funds with funds to restore American freedom?
