local texas judge predicts 'possible' civil war if obama elected...

The local national guard may be part of the problem if stuff starts. They are, after all, locals. I doubt presidential elections will trigger any serious violence. But of something did, I wouldn't bet on it being a handful of rednecks against the national guard.

I have a son in law at Fort Hood, waiting to redeploy to Afghanistan. There are plenty of soldiers there who would be happy to use the locals for target practice, should there be an uprising.

Count on it.

And I have no doubt there are plenty who would refuse to fire on US citizens on US soil.

Did I say you needed to justify it?

It's pretty obvious you're trolling, isn't it?

No, not obvious at all. I started out making comments about the possibility and the fear of, armed conflict between the gov't and citizens.

The rest of the time has been spent mostly answering your posts to me.

Yet you keep posting in a thread about the situation in Lubbock.

I keep posting because you keep trying to come up with some 'gotcha' on this topic. I am enjoying watching you continually dance around looking for something. After the first page, almost all of my posts have been in response to something you asked or said. If you stop trying to pin me down as a militia supporter or whatever, I probably wouldn't post much more.

In other words, you have tried repeatedly to stir up something. That is what trolls do, so I am not surprised.

I don't know. But the judge in the OP seems to think so, which is why the topic came up.

That's right. He's almost guaranteeing it. So it's your thought that our military, when being fired upon by a bunch of rednecks, wouldn't return fire?

It does make for an interesting dilemma. One group is breaking the law. The other is breaking the law if they refuse a direct order. I honestly think the rednecks would back down when they are outnumbered, and outgunned.

But they are Texans.

I might call my SIL, and get his reaction.

You do realize that it's pretty common for the military, and the locals to clash? Especially in the bars.

When I enlisted I took an oath to defend the US Constitution against all threats, foriegn and domestic. If there were an uprising because of serious violations of the US Constitution, I think many soldiers would refuse to fire on our citizens.

It mainly depends on the reasons for the conflict, I think.
 
The situation in Lubbock:




In remarks this week, Head called for a well-equipped force to battle the "United Nations troops" that he said "Obama" might bring in.


The comments by Head, who oversees emergency planning efforts, were broadcast by CNN affiliate KJTV.


He made similar remarks on radio station FOX Talk 950.



Saying that as the county's emergency management coordinator he has to "think about the very worst thing that can happen and prepare for that and hope and pray for the best," Head told radio host Jeff Klotzman that he believes "in this political climate and financial climate, what is the very worst thing that could happen right now? Obama gets back in the White House. No. God forbid."



Referring to unexplained "executive orders" and other documents that Obama and "his minions have filed," Head said, "regardless of whether the Republicans take over the Senate, which I hope they do, he is going to make the United States Congress and he's going to make the Constitution irrelevant. He's got his czars in place that don't answer to anybody."



"Obama", Head said, will "try to give the sovereignty of the United States away to the United Nations. What do you think the public's going to do when that happens? We are talking civil unrest, civil disobedience, possibly, possibly civil war. ... I'm not talking just talking riots here and there. I'm talking Lexington, Concord, take up arms, get rid of the dictator. OK, what do you think he is going to do when that happens? He is going to call in the U.N. troops, personnel carriers, tanks and whatever."



Head vowed to personally stand "in front of their personnel carriers and say, 'You're not coming in here.' And I've asked the sheriff. I said, 'Are you going to back me on this?' And he said, 'Yeah, I'm going to back you.' Well, I don't want a bunch of rookies back there who have no training and little equipment. I want seasoned veteran people who are trained that have got equipment. And even then, you know we may have two or three hundred deputies facing maybe a thousand U.N. troops. We may have to call out the militia."
