Totally agree, blarman. Its not paranoia to look at the situation(crisis) and see how this administration could take advantage of it to institute Martial Law. To not look at all possibilities for acquisition of total power by this administration is willingly being blind. Why else would the administration encourage the behavior of the "protesters" and decry the legitimate actions of law enforcement when facts and evidence say the actions were justified? The moral mandate is one thing which keeps the 0 going for more power to "totally transform" this nation.
Not really, someone on the inside, who can work their mischief with little opposition, is a very lethal enemy indeed. It doesn't matter how many people or weapons you have he works from a seat of power to destroy what you have. O is the most lethal enemy this country has ever had.
If you have a big enough "crisis" like a race war in the US, you CAN legally suspend the constitution and impose martial law. "O" and his minions are doing their best to create this kind of Crisis.
At that point it is an easy step to Monarchy/Dictatorship.
Rand likely witnessed much worse in respect to Stalin and the Soviet Union. She at least could escape to the west. The current generation, however, has no sanctuary to strive to reach. Our current battle with the forces of darkness may not have the wholesale bloodshed, but it may be as important. Unless young people embrace freedom and self reliance, this great experiment in liberty may disappear.
O has singlehandedly done more to violate the Constitution than all other presidents combined. He is a paid operative and he's running out of time to achieve his objectives. Martial law would extend his term.
If I were a betting man, I might just take that bet.
The problem is that Obama is nothing like Clinton. Obama is a narcissistic megalomaniac - Bill Clinton was a narcissistic skirt-chaser. Clinton used his power to get sex. Obama uses his power to pursue more power. We've seen it in so many areas of his presidency I think it would be folly to ignore or downplay the possibilities. The only question I have is if he thinks he could get critical mass behind him to support unilateral action. His blatant disregard for the elections demonstrate to me that even that doesn't matter - he believes he has a moral mandate. That is what is scary.
Remember the Communist Manifesto. Before there can by utopia, there must be a wholesale revolution and replacement of government. We know Obama has nothing but contempt not only for the Constitution, but for people in general. I would operate under the assumption that this is planned - not just freak coincidence.
It won't happen. I'm willing to bet money on it, if anyone's interested.
Listen, people were saying this same paranoid crap when Bill Clinton was in his last term. It didn't happen then and it won't happen now. The 2016 elections will happen, and Obama will bog off to Hawaii or Chicago or wherever the hell he'll go, probably have a couple more autobiographies ghost-written, and live high on the taxpayer dime for the rest of his life. That's what will happen.
Yeah its absurd to think O would do anything we wouldn't want...(sarcasm). The presumption that he's "like us" or like-minded hasn't even slowed him from damaging the Constitution, America's finances and American society thus far. Aiming high in his effort to topple us wouldn't stop him one second from declaring martial law provided he thought it was legitimate. A race war would be just the ticket for his justification.
Constitutionally, he is in "control". (War Powers and still existing State of Emergency) What is to be gained? Civil wars and wars for independence are usually only a "changing of the guard". I'll agree with you on incompetence being the lack of objectivity on his, and his administrations part. These folks should read Janet Hagberg..."Real Power"......better yet "the Objectivists Ethics!
I agree with what you said but I think he can also be incompetent. He is stoking a race war and toying with the economy all the while thinking he is in control of the situation. The next two years are going to be difficult.
Your stating the fact that there is nothing to gain by this administration is so very true. A legitimate media would hold their feet to the fire. I don't expect it to change.
Par for the course with this administration. There could be nothing gained politically with the Oklahoma beheading so not a word. But not only can something be gained out of Ferguson but it is another distraction from the real problems. Like borrowing a trillion dollars to pay off a trillion coming due. They really think we are all to stupid.

It's almost as if Obama and Holder believe any white who dies at a black man's hands, deserved to die.
Our Emperor in chief is getting away with everything he needs to take over as King.

Let's not wander off into paranoia.
