The question is would the National Guard or the US Military follow BHO’s orders against the populace?

Don’t think so.


I was in the military. It is very easy to control the information available to the rank and file. The military is not a democracy.

Picture this:
Your unit is alerted and mobilized. There is a radical, terrorist attack on the nation's capital. You are ordered to put down the threat to your country. Perhaps you have heard some rumors that make you have some questions inside. The order is given by your duly authorized chain of command to put down the threat, and you hesitate to act promptly. Your NCO brings you into the sight picture of his weapon and directs you to follow orders or die a traitor to your country. You only have the information that you have been allowed to have. You have some doubts, but the whole effing chain of command must have checked this out...

Waco, Ruby Ridge, Kent State.

Ready to bet your life on it? Your wife's? Your children's?

The founding fathers were against a standing army for just these reasons.

Don't get me wrong. I believe in being prepared. I just don't own any rose colored glasses.

Exactly.

Any direct action will need to be precise and surgical. Taking out elected leaders will bring an unwanted backlash. Making demands or manifestoes only gives the opposition something to demonize and organize opposition to.

Say nothing, just make leaders of anti-freedom, "progressive" causes, like those Obama had over at the WH for drinks last night, people the average idiot American has never heard of nor cares about, "disappear," never to be seen again. Let the nation see the anguished cries of their families...

these people are traitors, destroying the country. They've willingly imported tens, if not hundreds, of millions of people who hate our culture, hate our history, hate US. They've fostered suspicion and hatred among the races, they've coddled criminals, ignored the cries of victims, turned hardened predators loose on our streets to rape and kill again, all while trying to deprive of us of the ability to defend ourselves. They've killed millions of innocents while they mock those who protest.

The time for talking is done. the populace has been so intellectually crippled that they wouldn't understand a reasoned argument if it kicked them on their own ass, and they lack the character to admit when they are wrong.

Go ahead and "protest" and march and do the silly teabag crap. That won't do shit except make some fools feel good about themselves.
