They certainly are provoking the American People. I don’t think they KNOW what kind of wrath We-The-People are capable of. Either that, or they think they’ve got all that figured out and all the authority and firepower they need to quell any “dust-ups” a few of us “Militia” members and “domestic terrorists.”
I’m still wondering — does anyone here really think our military as a whole would actually fire on or take action against large numbers of American citizens?
I believe I've read that thirty percent of the military claims Democrat affiliation. I've known at least a couple of former military (one Marine, one SEAL) that are Democrats. It's not out of the question, IMHO. Remember that many of the officers at the highest level are politicians, not warriors or even patriots (sorry if that stings, but think of Colin Powell).
