“Potentially horrific scenarios”=People voting for Republicans

[SECURE AMERICA]

Could end up being interesting. Would American soldiers fire on their own citizens for Obama?
Would ohter military units defend citzens being attacked by special government units?
Could be interesting times ahead..

“civil unrest” = too many white people in line at polling places

[WVKayaker]

I noticed that the West Virginia State Police cars ALL just recently lost their numbered rear tags, replaced with the SP shield and nothing else to identify the car's driver! Hmmmmm...

I better buy another roll of foil!

Posse comitatus, anyone? Under most circumstances, the President cannot use the U.S. military as a civilian police force. Unless there is a major emergency or an open rebellion, this new unit will not pass Posse Comitatus. (Note: the Coast Guard is excluded as are National Guard units when under State control.

[tsomer]

Isn’t this unconstitutional?

[Erik Latranyi]

Can anyone corroborate this ‘military source’ that there is a strong possibility of civil unrest this summer?

Let’s start there....FReepers have plenty of contacts in the military....and confirm or deny this.

Until then, this may be hysteria.

Would the use of federal troops to quell civil unrest be a violation of the Posse Comitatus Act? I trust that many members of the US military would mutiny if ordered to fire on US civilians. However I do not trust Obama and facing a total loss of Democrat control of Congress he might use some trumped up crisis to derail the elections or assume “emergency” powers.

the consequences of opposition to Obamacare....

The summer of our discontent.

The left has been itching for this “time” for a long, long time. They think the violence is the final punch to be thrown.

Several months ago I had heard a rumor of Canadian troops gathering on the border out west...just in case of trouble in CA, when CA collapses.

We are working against very dark forces that have no fear of spilling our blood. While we work to peacefully restore the balance to our government; we must realize they will not give up that power peacefully. We always seem to estimate there is a reasonable faction on the other side. I don’t think there is this time.

You see, we the silent majority, have found our voices. When we start speaking out, rallying, etc. they know we mean business. I’ve never seen a movement like we have now, not on this scale, not this loud and certainly not this motivated. They will not let the reins of power go easily.

Each of must decide if we have the strength to take away those reins? The image in my head is that of the “Nanny” who comes to the out of control home and sets things right. Teaches the parents to be parents and the kids disciplined.

[tiredoflaundry]

IIRC, “Army Times” is not a military paper. Maybe some Freepers will know who they are connected with. I cannot remember now.

[Da Coyote]

Any person supporting the Loon should be IMMEDIATELY kicked out of the military.

Our military is a place for those with honor and integrity.

NO ONE WHO SUPPORTS THE LOON HAS EITHER.

Period.

(Whew, out of breath after all that shouting.)

[SWAMPSNIPER]

MOLON LABE!

[luv2ndamend]

Is he expecting something to happen?

[SueRae]

I a glad that I live outside of any major city, especially in summer. Especially this summer.

[Sarajevo]

The special force, which is the new name being given to the 1st Brigade Combat Team of the 3rd Infantry, has been training at Fort Stewart, Georgia and is composed of 80,000 troops.

That's more like a Corps level element- 4 Divisions in size, not a Brigade.

[navymom1]

Why not just call them SS?

[Cvengr]

IOW, if Obamacare and the repetitive cash givaways in Porkulus don’t evoke determined opposition, Obama will continue to act grossly irresponsibly until he can provoke physical action against the government. What they don’t understand is that the people still believe in a government by the people and haven’t intuitively across the board grasped that Obama is not a product of the people, but perhaps closer to Satanic influence.

[crz]

OK..then lets get to the point. Many of you here have sons or daughters in the military. Ask them point blank if this was to happen, would they shoot American citizens?
