Subconciously they are hoping the threat will be enough.
It will not be enough.
The “duly constituted holders of authority” KNOW that they can dictate at will and without respect to the pre and proscriptions of the Constitution, and they KNOW police will follow orders without running them thru any constitutional test whatsoever.
We, in this nation, are ALREADY at the point that the ONLY thing that will stop this is lead...we just can't admit it yet.
As far as joining forces:Suggest on FR joining together. You will be derided as a militia nut. It's gonna be interesting to say the least. And I mean in less than two years. This is no long term prediction.
Good post.
I’m not a militia person in the least (and in fact, I don’t know if there are even any within 100 miles of my town), but I think we all on FR have to stay in touch.
I don’t think Obama’s going to provoke a clash until he feels that we are so weakened and isolated that there will be no problem. What I can’t quite figure out is how it’s going to be staged.
But I would say possibly within the next year. He’ll get through the November elections, and even if the House is taken by the GOP, that won’t be enough...and he has gotten the US so accustomed to “executive orders” (which is how Hugo Chavez “governs”) that the composition of Congress really won’t even matter.
As for gun ownership, since the NRA seems to be on Obama’s side now, I’d say that’s not a reliable predictor of resistance.
