I'm actually well aware of that, believe it or not. I did say all of this was a "pipe dream".Originally posted by bcoop View PostThis post demonstrates just how far out of touch with reality you are.
You're outnumbered. Republicans are outnumbered. The majority don't give a shit about the Constitution, thus wouldn't support "Constitutionalist politicians". Feel free to keep dreaming up hypotheticals, but that scenario will never happen. You've got a better chance of winning the lottery.
Its sad. But being outnumbered doesn't mean you lose, not by any means. While we may be outnumbered, there are still shitloads of people who still believe in it and want to see the government dismantled by 75% or more.

And the ones that are left either get shit-canned when they even think of speaking up, or keep a low profile until they retire.Originally posted by BP View PostGasser, you probably don't realize it but flag officers (generals/admirals) are nominated by the president and have to go through senate confirmation. Obama has been POTUS for 7 years now, there aren't many conservative minded generals left.

This post demonstrates just how far out of touch with reality you are.Originally posted by Gasser64 View PostIts nice to talk to someone who doesn't just erupt in a fit of rage. So to answer your question, no, I would not like to live under a military dictatorship. However, I don't really see any of our generals being the "At LAST!! ITS ALL MINE!!!" types. Now granted, as I'm not clairvoyant, I of course can't say for sure that this would happen. But if I had to make a guess, I'd say they'd correct the errors that have been made, and once that was done, hand it back off to constitutionalist politicians, who would then occupy the seats where the violators used to sit. Of course I know this is all just a pipe dream, but hey.
And don't bet on the military "staying out of the way" if the people decided to tear it down and start anew. They'd be called in to try and quell the rebellion. Whether or not they'd resign... who knows. I'm picturing another civil war where it splits in two.
Lastly, short of all that, how else do you see us ever recovering from the death spiral? And you could look at it like this. Either way, in the end, you still get a military dictatorship. The effect is the exact same.

A military takeover of the country, martial law and full suspension of your constitutional rights. All of them. No trial by jury, no right to remain silent, no search warrants.
Do you REALLY want that?
