“The People should not be afraid of the Government. The Government should be afraid of the People.”
The recent threats, and violence, have been said to be a temporary condition. I am not so sure. I have heard many talk about how they desire to make the gov fear US. How this should be a permanent condition. This being the best way to keep Dems from accomplishing any collective goals. I feel this is the goal of all the intimidation. It is not random acts. It is not overflowing emotion. It is the new status quo. The pushes to redefine all political words, to remove any solace, and to smash any faith in gov to address any human needs, have led to here.

If we do not stomp these beginnings of anarchy, we will soon have it blossom in full. Why are there guns showing up at rallies? To celebrate their rights? Nah, to impose an overarching threat, to cow us all. Why are there Oathkeepers, in wholly unknown quantities, ready to begin the coup? Why does the right threaten to activate all their sleeper cell US servicemen, ready to install military coup?

The answer is simple, they have seen demographics, and see their own doom at all subsequent ballot boxes. Thus, the talk of the evil of Democracy, and the tyranny of the majority. They feel their best hope at controlling the pace of progress, or their dreaded CHANGE, is veiled threat of genocide.

I dont think they expect to ever have to engage in war on their neighbors, as they were successful in framing all liberals as weak, and passive. They simply expect to use their threats of genocide, to achieve the same goals as Bin Laden. To move us to act, in ways that he would prescribe.

I think it is high time to put the AH64 Apache fear of God into some of these terrorist militias, sooner, rather than later, or we will end up with the Libertarian Disneyland, Anarchy.

Oathkeepers, that entertain glommed on oaths, in addition to their sworn oath, to our nation, should be fired, with black marks on their records, that dissallow them to spread further threat.

We were unallowed to study, and find solutions to this right wing threat of genocide, as the right went ballistic at the sniff of a study. Calls for Napolitano's firing were not far from successful. Smear campaigns, using McCarthyite tactics, have replaced anything approaching honest debate. And there are NO apologies for the new neolying tactics. Just promise of evermore stringent determination of commie flaws.

This will not end well, unless we use these domestic terrorists, to steel our resolve, to the level that we frighten them. Some will accuse me of sowing dissention, TOO FUCKING LATE, it is sown. How we respond, will be the difference between encouraging threats of genocide, or repelling them.

False equivalency, and sickening tries to level the sides insinuation of threat, needs to end. Straight talk, without any levity, or softening of the terms, must commence immediately.

Lets Roll.

3. Here is some freeproof..

I've searched FR, googled, and wicki-ed, the only thing I can find about removing a president is : ...
I will warn you, though... there are FReepers who have solutions to getting rid of the President -- other than Impeachment/Conviction and/or Elections.

I've read from some FReepers that all that is needed is a judge to issue an arrest warrant for Obama, and order a U.S. Marshal to execute the arrest warrant and we would see Obama being hauled out of the Oval Office in handcuffs on the evening news... doncha know... :-)

Also, another method I've seen FReepers posting about is that the U.S. Military can "oust" Obama simply by surrounding the White House with tanks and demanding that he leave, or they will blow him up and/or the White House and him in it. And so, that was another method suggested here on Free Republic.... :-)

And then, I've even seen other FReepers say that there is no problem removing Obama because he is not even really the President, since he wasn't born here. And since that's true (that he's not President, "really" and since he wasn't born here) -- you don't have to go through those Constitutional provisions -- since he isn't President in the first place. They would just send in an ordinary police officer to arrest him and be done with it, doncha know... LOL ...

Of course, there were those who said the Supreme Court could order a new election, since the last election was a fraud and that Obama wasn't qualified. So, all that is needed (or all that was needed) was for the Supreme Court to order that new national election.

Or a variation on that was that the Supreme Court could simply order him removed since he was never qualified and the next in line would take his place (or some variation of that).

I mean..., if you want to "go nuts" (and there are those who "go nuts" here on Free Republic) -- there are a whole bunch off ways to get rid of Obama and out of the Oval Office... doncha know... LOL ...
