CG: Stop helping mitigate Obama’s oil spill. Heave to and prepare to be boarded.
Barge Captain: See those fighter jets? They are Louisiana National Guard and they have orders to sink you Obama lackeys’ tubs if you don’t move away in 10, 9, 8...
FUBO and your thugocracy!

Fighter jets? In reality, a couple dozen random citizens brandishing their personal rifles with undetermined loadedness status, and a single picket sign reading "Louisiana Citizen Militia", would almost certainly be plenty to persuade the Coast Guard to back off. Add a single camera from a major media outlet, and I guarantee it would be plenty to persuade them to back off.
It's high time to start pushing back hard against federal government tyranny, and it would be greatly preferable to do it under the direction of a state governor, than just random citizens doing it on their own. This is a perfect scenario in which to start the process. There would be virtually no political opposition from the usual worshippers of federal government supremacy because their voter base consists almost entirely of enviromentalists who are (quite reasonably, for once) desperate to see this oil gushing disaster brought under control. From their point of view, if it saves one pelican, then a band of citizens pointing rifles at the Coast Guard and telling them to get lost is a good thing.
