Many here have wondered for some time what Obama’s “Reichstag Fire” would be — summer riots would be a very good opportunity indeed to pretend that some “temporary” martial law is needed just before the elections.
No doubt it would include an Executive Order overriding any recently passed Voter ID laws — to ensure the safety and the civil rights of minorities, you see. And while we’re at it, let’s make sure there are government busses available in every inner-city precinct for Early Voting through Election Day.
Scary thoughts. And very plausible.
