1. If things got that bad to literally fight the Fedgov, we will lose. I know, 100 million gun owners, but really? up against the Army? C'mon, maybe a few sporadic gunfights by some brave rural types. I believe the general population will lay down their arms once the Federalized National Guard moves in. Most would rather survive under dictatorship with their children than risk them being orphans (sound familiar?). The few well trained will try and maybe some old farts like me, but we're dying off by the day.
2. The "gimmes" will never ever accept the idea that their Fedgov or Stategov has failed them. They will just riot more and more and deal with the tear gas and/or rubber bullets until the politicians give in. No one has the balls anymore just to shoot rioters/looters as we did before. Oh noes, a human life gone because he stole an HDTV and burned the store down that was some productive innocent's livelihood. Poor guy, must have been from bad parents. F*ck him, as the Koreans thought in the Rodney King riots. They stood their ground on top of their stores and not a ONE was attacked.
3. Good luck with the ChiComs buying and administering certain regions in the USA. Sounds like "Red Dawn 2.0" to me (lol). While China has allowed Hong Kong to exist as capitalist entity, they only do that for the revenues to the communist party, the same as they do in Macau casinos.
4. I'm not a religious person, so I don't believe the Bible, the Torah, the Koran/Hadiths, nor any other theology. They all once thought the world was flat. Let's just agree to let that go. I mean no offense, in fact, I think the best people in the World are Christians and Jews. I'm an absolute supporter of Israel.
Okay now that I've been so negative, let me tell you the one last hope I have and that is States' Rights! We now have some 30 Republican (although questionable if conservative) and state legislatures. Last I read, some 26 States refuse to build an Obamacare health exchange system. Even if the Fedgov can actually build such "exchanges" it saves the State's their sovereign rights and money. Although Robert's should have shot down the entire Obamacare law, we did see a unanimous vote that Congress had over-stepped their idea of the "Commerce Clause". That was a huge win for now.
Anyway to build that many Fedgov "exchanges" will be such a bureaucratic nightmare that it may fall just because of that. Obama can hire all the people he wants as he has done, but I believe there couldn't be enough fat minority ladies and loser minority men (yes, I said that) to possibly administer such a complex entity (think DMV).
Like the b*tch said, "We have to pass it to see what's in it". Their arrogant utopian dream is now becoming a reality while I read every day of another company laying off employees to get under 50, or reducing the hours to less than 30 a week. I can hardly wait until the Boomers start getting shut off from live-saving care on a regular basis.
Sarah Palin is one smart Lady. I'm going to be laughing at all those who voted Obambi in twice and let him take their health care system away. I will laugh until my last breath...cough, giggle, cough, giggle, gasp, giggle!
We don't know what will bring about the end to the nightmare which BO so symbolizes. It could be your scenario. It could be Soviet Union style implosion. It could be the second coming of Jesus Christ.
All we know is that it well end because it is unsustainable and goes against human nature.
“We now have some 30 Republican [state governors). Sorry.
If you are tempted at any point to be optimistic, and you aren’t religious, then read “Coriolanus” by Wm. Shakespeare. Timely as the morning Free Republic and absolutely on-target with human nature. Quick version at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coriolanus.
Friend, if the fedgov orders its troops to begin disarming the people, you're going to see a second American Revolution. Guaranteed.
Forced disarmament will be the final signal that There Is Nothing Left To Lose. Millions will know that once they're turned over their guns, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness will be a thing of the past, and that nothing but gulags and death are in their future.
Even if nine out of ten Americans were stupid enough to willingly surrender their guns, there'd still be an army of ten million Americans who would resist, or die in the attempt. They would outnumber the fedgov jackboots by ten to one, and would be more motivated to prevail, than any foreign adversary our military has ever faced.
Buck up. We'll never be taken by force.

Wrong. The Bible NEVER thought the world was flat.
