Obama Risks a Domestic Military Intervention
TPM ^ | 5/1/109 | John L. Perry

Posted on 05/19/2010 11:22:07 AM PDT by anniegetyourgun

There is a remote, although gaining, possibility America's military will intervene as a last resort to resolve the "Obama problem." Don't dismiss it as unrealistic.

America isn't the Third World. If a military coup does occur here it will be civilized. That it has never happened doesn't mean it wont. Describing what may be afoot is not to advocate it. So, view the following through military eyes:

You were saying ...

how can people who supposedly believe in the constitution and this country’s institutions ever support the idea of a military coup?

Ummm..., you haven't seen some of the stuff that comes out of some "birther threads" have you? ... :-) (and these are FReepers saying some of these things).

I’ve relayed many such steps here on FR last year, so I won’t bother going through that again. And yes, many are fed up & continue to use the old tactics (email, fax, rally, call) even though all things changed on 11/4/08. The administration is counting on the citizenry to continue those using those tactics - they are so easy to ignore.

I do expect that the GOP will obtain a majority in the House in Nov. However, none of that really matters to a president who will use any means to advance his agenda - regardless of what the people think.

>So American voters don’t decide elections now, the army does?

I hate to break it to you buddy; but the massive multistate voter-registration fraud, the multiple “we found a box of ballots” stories, the “infinite recounts until the guy we want wins” ALL indicate that the American voters DON’T decide elections.

At this point in time, not a possibility.

However, there may come a time when it is the only way to keep this Republic united and free. If Obama has his so-called “civilian army” that is as well funded as the U.S. military (remember that?), suppose they attempt to disarm our citizens? The result would likely mean major bloodshed across the country and perhaps the military would have to step in to resolve the issue (on who's side is the important question)?

If our “democratically elected leaders” decide civilians no longer may own firearms, do any of you who dismiss this possibility feel like simply rolling over and taking your medicine?

You were saying ...

Throughout history, there have been those that say the world is ending and those that say it isn’t...just pick a side and wait, maybe it will before you die, maybe it won’t.

Well..., we don't have to dig into history to find some of this. I have gotten into some discussions with other FReepers who tell me that I better get prepared for Armed Revolution and that we may have to fight the military and they expect that they will win, too... :-)

In addition, they say that the "ballot box" time is just about over, and it's time for the "bullet box" (said in so many words, if not that, exactly). I see this all the time, in addition to others, here on Free Republic who say that since Obama is "not really the President" -- that it's okay for the military to remove him from office, because he's in that office illegally (you see...) thus, it's not really a "coup" -- it's just removing someone from office who is "not really the President" in the first place, doncha know ... (that's some of the "birther mentality" and I have people absolutely insist and swear that Obama "is not really the President" ... LOL ...).

I'm not making this stuff up, ya know ...

Won’t happen.

Once we cross that threshold, who’s to say the dims won’t use it against us if an unpopular Republican President were in office?

Obama AND his policies will be overthrown at the ballot box, in that I have no doubt. The military will stay out of it.

The elections are just a few months away. Maybe we should wait and see how it goes before we with go with giving up on elections completely.

Wait till the debt commission study comes out. That will make everyone happy, right?? :)

So did all those freepers put their money in the Euro ???

Some of the “rule of law” purists really don’t see the big picture. They’ll be lined up in front of firing squads, men, women and children, and the purists will still be saying “but he was democratically elected”.

here on Free Republic, in that FReepers consider it a good liklihood of happening, actually

Remember that lots of FReepers have Armageddon fantasies. They like the idea of holing up in their compound and living off the land and occasionally stopping their idyllic life to shoo away some itinerant liberals that come begging for help.

I think that the reality would be a whole lot less pleasant but that's just me. To each their own.

Refusal to take "the easy way" and do things by rule of law, is what separates us from the 3rd world banana republics. Now, as a previous poster said - if the ballot box is eliminated, then all bets are off. I agree with that wholeheartedly, but will keep working within the system, until it's time to start working outside of it. IMHO, that time isn't here yet.

The people are deluded...and I don’t consider to be stupid. He’s accomplished quite a bit of his agenda thus far because there’s been no ability to stop him. Even if Congress moves to the right after November, he’ll simply use other means to advance his agenda. There’s a reason why he has no fear of (respect for) the people.

So, you are advocating it. I think the prediction of no presidential election is foolish. Shennanigans? We’ve had those for years and years. I prefer to resort to prayer. I believe that God will battle the evil when we seek Him and ask. I saw it happen with Gore/Bush. Despite all of the Gore campaign’s machinations. I prefer to look to Him and not rely on the military.

Interesting article from a bunch of lefties. Trying to provoke a reaction me thinks.

There has been a lot of this lately. I'm not sure if ti is just projection (especially form Napolitano-like characterizations of the Right) or just wishful thinking.

If the Left can provoke an incident, they will be 'justified' in suppressing not only that incident, but every right-winged group in the country.

While there is still the ballot box, let's use that and not play into their hands.

It also dawns on me that such shrill rhetoric from the left may be stage-setting for a Reichstag Fire type event.

As I said, I'm not advocating a military coup. I've advocated methods to get the attention of elected officials who aren't listening.

Meanwhile, I too pray because I know rest of the story.

Even a takeover by GOP in the House can’t stop a guy who believes his agenda justifies the means.

On the contrary, 0bama can not implement his agenda unless the House first votes to fund it.

He can veto whatever he wants but unless the funds are affirmatively in a bill, there is no way he can spend the money without presenting a prima facie case for impeachment.

“Obama AND his policies will be overthrown at the ballot box, in that I have no doubt. The military will stay out of it.”

I agree they want to stay out of it and prefer this type solution. However if it comes to an extreme situation, there is a first time for anything. In this life I have learned to never say “Never” as it is unrealistic and pollyanna.
