Here is an interesting read.....thoughts? What makes it more interesting is the left wing rag it it was in.

What makes you say that?

It is a foregone conclusion that we will eventually face the specter of martial law. No government in history has voluntarily relinquished power over its citizens/subjects (ceding it to the UN or EU notwithstanding) and every absolute power grab in history has been the product of circumstances such as those outlined which have been under construction for a century meeting a perfect storm, a useful opportunity, most generally in the form of, as Rahm put it, not letting a good crisis go to waste. The weapon has been formed. It is a question of when, not if, someone will get brave enough or have the right opportunity, to pull the trigger.

Well, that is what the Second Amendment was all about, wasn't it?

Can't say for sure, but maybe this guy was hoodwinked?

One good point that CAN be acknowledged (from the second link).

"There are, perhaps, some issues worth discussing that this EO raises. The fact that the President of the United States is still exercising authority granted during the Korean War and the height of the Cold War is yet another reflection of how power, once assumed by the Imperial Presidency, is never surrendered. The fact that an Executive Order like this was released on a Friday afternoon and has been largely ignored by the traditional media is an indication of just how easy it is for politicians to manipulate the news cycle. And the idea that the government has authority like that described in this document, even only in theory, and that most Americans aren’t even aware of it, is a reflection of just how little we know about the things that are done in our name. Those are all legitimate issues, but they go far deeper than this one relatively innocuous Executive Order."

I said we would face it. I didn't say anything about passively submitting.
