Have any more mainstream sites mentioned the executive order in question?

Like martial law would work given the military’s almost universal disgust with the t*rd-in-chief.

He won’t declare martial law. He’ll declare sharia law.

I may have missed it however, I cannot find the EO number or numbers...Just the lists but no actual Number in Obama’s list of his Executive Orders. Anyone?

“...but there is little evidence that this law has been abused to deprive Americans of their fundamental rights and freedom...”

Say what? Large parts of the Patriot Act are used almost exclusively against ordinary American citizens, evading the very longstanding Bill of Rights rules. And when I say “almost exclusively”, this means that only a fraction of a percent of these rules have actually been used against terrorists and their supporters.

This comes about because large parts of the Patriot Act do not exclusively apply to just the federal government, but to state and even local governments as well. But in most of the US, there has never been even a hint of terrorism.

This impacts not just criminals and criminal suspects, but even honest citizens can be whimsically abused by police just in case they *might* do something that is unlawful, or even for no reason at all.

The entire purpose of the Bill of Rights is so that government cannot do that.

Have any more mainstream sites mentioned the executive order in question?

Any more? What mainstream media outlet has reported on it with any accuracy?

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

The on going social disintegration of America is bound to be reflected in American political life. The fear of “The Divine One” attempting to remain in power by effecting a coup reflects the disintegration. Will a coup occur in the real world; i.e. November 2012 through January 2013? That is the specific question, and the mere fact the question can be asked is in itself rather ominous.

"Many, myself included, did not like the Patriot Act that was enacted following 9/11 but there is little evidence that this law has been abused to deprive Americans of their fundamental rights and freedom"

How would you know Alan? Under George W Dum-Dum (and now under his Communist successor), the range, scope and reach of the federal behemoth has expanded beyond any rational sense, the limited 'transparency' (I use that word loosely) under GWB is practically non-existent under the Kenyan Usurper, the fascist DHS and their jackboot sockpuppets over at TSA are turning America into a true police state, the Bill of Rights is on life support, financial chaos lurks behind the curtains due to the insane economic policies that were begun during the Bush years, and now continued and expanded under the 0bama regime.

And let's not forget the focused and determined efforts of the Holder DOJ to undermine the Second Amendment.

Why wouldn't there be a fear of martial law?

Dictator Baby-Doc Barack is proving himself to be a blithering idiot.

Obama says what he thinks his audience wants to be true, and then expects us to believe his lie.

All those who don’t believe Martial Law can happen need to read about the Bonus Expeditionary Forces after WWI staring General MacArthur, George Patton and Dwight Eisenhower.

The President of the United States of America, Barack Hussein Obama, has generated so much fear that the most common theme of posted comments and private communications is that he will refuse to relinquish power if defeated in November or that, under some pretext, he will declare a state of martial law.

This is an extremely common theme here and elsewhere.When Clinton was in office, many thought he wouldn't leave power voluntarily. When Bush was in office, the leftists said the same about him. Now it's Obama's turn.

The fact is, the real Powers That Be will not let anything get in front of the American people to shatter the illusion of elections It would ultimately be their undoing if they were to do so, so we are allowed to go vote in elections rigged by both major parties to make sure a candidate acceptable to the PTB wins. You won't have a real choice, because they don't want you to have one.
