I'm afraid the only drama queen here is you. Eight years active duty; currently serve in the State Guard and I "get out" plenty...there is also no need to insult me by deciding what group of those on this forum I am part of...unless God died recently and appointed you in his place you can't look into my heart or the heart of anyone else on this forum for that matter and know what "some of those here" are like or who belongs as part of that "some" (apparently you also can't bother to look at a member's profile either or you wouldn't have made your blunder about my military service). Your thoughts appear to be based far more on assumptions than fact...it most certainly can happen here. About half of our population (and I'm being generous) are already mindless, dependent sheep subsisting on the largess of what the government has stolen from those who aren't. The Constitution is nothing but an old piece of paper; its only strength lies in the honor and integrity of those who willingly agree to abide by it; honor and integrity are in very short supply these days and especially so in the halls of government at all levels.

Yes, I know but that was not my point...my point was the fallacy of the thought process of "it can't happen" whether it's "to me" or "in the U.S.". The government deciding to trash the Constitution (what's left of it) most certainly is something that could happen and all it will really take are those in power willing to do so and a public of mindless, dependent, sheep.

Such a scenario has already been played out...it's part of recorded history...I respectfully suggest that anyone who truly believes it "can't happen here" is simply arrogant and someone walking around with not just blinders on but a full mask covering their eyes. I'm not saying such an event is likely or that we should spend huge amounts of time or resources worrying about it but I believe that we should at least be aware of the possibility and thing through these issues. I have never actually be "in" a tornado and I never thought I'd see an F5 tornado touch down a mile from my home...but then I saw it happen.
