(53,661 posts)The same kind of seditious actions we are seeing are no different than those just before the Civil War. When it gets to literally taking a life they'll muster their forces. They're working behind the scenes, probably.
At least the executive branch will have given instructions, although a lot of it falls upon D.C. itself. It takes a lot of will and sound reason to act in these situations.
The GOP Confederates in Congress have defunded much of the operations of the District of Columbia, which is a symbol of the hated Union that defeated the South. At this time, the government of the Union army is under seige, but the sources are less clear.
The LEOs are prioritizing what they will act upon. The Lincoln Memorial was vandalized, but no one died. The Libertarian guns rights grifter Adam Kokesh did not get his way to form an army to brandish rifles in D.C. this summer.
They will take action in extreme cases. The poor woman driving to kill in D.C. got lethal force, no one else has or likely will. The video was posted in V&MM. Her vehicle was a deadly weapon and she was not going to stop.
As disturbing as these actions are, they are not isolated. They are being ginned up by MSM and RWNJ media, and they are building to a tipping point.
Klayman calls for Obama to surrender to militia forces on November 17th. With the shutdown that has weakened the morale of government, even more than the Sequester, and the default coming, since Cantor the Crook is now in charge of the HoR for all intents and purposes, the default is coming.
Even if Obama gave in, the conditions as dictated by Paul and Coburn, who say they want to 'manage catastrophe' would be to offer 41% of SS, defund the ACA, Medicare and Medicaid, affecting the lives of a 100 million of our fellows, causing them to lose their homes and it will create chaos such as not been seen since the Great Depression. At which time they will, as back then, reap the spoils of the dispossessed. Some many not know it, but millions of Americans perished in that era. This will be a hundred times worse than that for just a few simple reasons.
One, our population is so much greater. Two, most of the population is urban and not close to the land. Third, and most important, is that we do not have the same resource and natural bounty we had at time to exploit, create jobs and feed people.
The maniacs in those pictures love that, been planning for it for years and see half the country as their mortal enemy and armed themselves and practice killing them everyday, both mentally and physically. When a great many people wish death on their neighbors, there will be trouble.
What I want to know, is the opinion of DUers in the area, is do the servicemen who voted for Obama still have the federal government's back, or is a contingent of traitors within their ranks, likely to break out and do something as the RWNJs repeatedly claim?
