Normally, I don’t to the vanity thing, but I think this “Glenn Beck Plan” needs to be Freeper analyzed and dissected.
First let me say, Glenn Beck has done a great service to America and I really appreciate his Tea Party, patriotic events and leadership. I thought his TV program was fantastic. I enjoy listening to his serious radio discussions, but he and the gang get a little too rambunctious and off the wall at times. That said:
Did anyone else hear Beck this morning talking options for dealing with an Obama gun control and possible gun confiscation effort? What am I missing with this plan?
Frankly, Beck makes me a little nervous sometime with some of his rants, and this was one.
I was multitasking, reading FR, checking the market and halfheartedly listening to Beck in the background. At around 11:00 AM EST, Beck and crew are talking about Obama and the gun control gang and he starts talking about what to do if they begin actively confiscating guns. His planned for resistance to tyranny is to overwhelm the legal/prison the system. ??????????
As I understood Beck: If they come for your guns we should let them arrest all of us, and overwhelm the system. I guess he thinks the legal and penal system can’t handle all of us if we do the MLK/Gandhi peaceful resistance technique. Kumbaya!!
Let me walk through what I think Beck was suggesting we do (as I understood him.)
BECK PLAN
The Feds come to the door and ask about your gun possession.
You admit you have them, but they can’t have them. You affirm your 2nd Amendment rights and tell them to arrest you.
We all do this and grind the legal system to a rapid halt. They can’t arrest everyone can they?
Beck says: To resist with force in numbers would guarantee that we lose. .
He also says: To peacefully resist in mass, we win by breaking the system. .
Will this plan somehow ensure that law and order, respect for private property and the Constitution are miraculously re-established?
Let me propose an alternative theory on how this might work out in Realville and why Beck’s scenario fails if firearms owners are foolish enough to try this.
The Feds realize quickly that they can’t fill up all the gulags with all the peaceful gun control resisters. So they change the collection technique.
Flexible Obama Confiscation Plan
Arrive at suspected noncompliant gun owner’s home.
Search warrant in hand, 3 -4 LEO’s question owner on possession.
Law respecting/abiding gun owner admits/denies he has undeclared/unregistered gun & asserts 2nd Amendment rights.
Arrest him, “search & destroy mission” in gun owner’s domicile. Terrorize family.
Collect firearms, ammo, etc. .
Gun owner goes to jail for day or 2 until substantial bail is met. .
Big legal bills for attorney and court date. .
Quick, simple trial for “open & shut” case on illegal possession. .
How about a fine of $5,000 per firearm, suspended sentence. .
Felony criminal conviction on his record. Loss of right to own/possess firearms in future. Loss of voting rights. Loss of certain employment opportunities, etc., etc. .
Finally, no guns, no freedom, no money, no job. Just Obama and his thuggorcracy making the criminals out of law abiding, patriotic American citizens..
Should I have been listening to Beck a little more closely? What am I missing? Do Obama and his thuggocracy all of a sudden begin to play by the rules and respect the rule of law?
“’Civilian Army, just as powerful and equipped as the regular army’. These people will NOT be the LEO that we currently know. They will be jackbooted thugs.”
Yes.
They will be drawn from the ranks of gangs, cartels, African ‘counter-terrorist-trained’ troops THAT WE ARE TRAINING, ME/MB, and UN troops. Armed with weapons that 0bama/Holder have given them and are attempting/have forbidden to US citizens.
“final solution to the bitter clinger question”
This week was 0bama/Biden’s “Wannsee II week”
Very likely true. Latest rumor is EO next week forbidding sale or transfer of any semi-auto firearms “until a new law is passed,” (to do the same thing, by law).
Today, I caught a few minutes of Beck’s silly show. He claimed “There is no good that comes from rebellion or civil war.” Of course, he fails to remember this nation came from rebellion and civil war.
Beck also called for “compromise” and claimed Obama could call in NATO and their “airplanes” and that would make rebellion a stupid move.
So, Beck has outed himself as a pacifist coward willing to take whatever is given to him. He resigns his fate to whoever the President is and demands of him.
“Folks, they perceive that we are reactionary forces not only standing in the way of social progress and utopia, we are actively blocking it. That makes us pure Evil, since their plan is pure Good. That means they will come to feel totally justified in a “final solution to the bitter clinger question.””
THAT is EXACTLY what is driving their thought processes and will make them do some rather illogical and stupid things that will send this nation into war.
As a result of his program and this posted article, the wife & I have gone radio silence on Beck.
He has nothing I want or need to hear. He has lost all credibility with me
It is no wonder Beck is a raging drunk. He us a weakkneed coward crybaby.
