When there is a civil war, Zero can declare anything he wants. 90% of the people he would depend on to enforce it would be his enemies. His declaration of martial law wouldn’t mean zip.
Ding, Ding we have a winner. All these wild conspiracy theories fall flat when you think of the logistics. You think the military will obey Obama in the case he was stark raving mad? Don't count on it. This is the same reason Marxism will fail, we may flirt with it but ultimately through alot of pain and sacrifice it will fail. We just love our IPODS and flat-screen TVs and when the Sally and Joes realize the state will prevent them from having it, Obama and his like and his phantom police force will be out on their keisters. The ivory tower academics are more scared of you than you should be of them. I mean hell they can't even run a Cash for Clunkers, you think they can efficiently run a police state..please
