Let's say Chapman is correct and Obama is increasing military funding- now, why would he do so?

Every time the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) feels threatened and wants to ensure that they remain in power, the first thing the CCP does is increase funding to their military. The primary reason for this funding increase is to ensure the loyalty of the military.

Hmmm....... now why would Obama want to ensure the loyalty of the military?

The only problem is, when it comes right down to it, I sincerely believe our military is loyal to the people, the Constitution and the USA in general. If Obamanation tries a power grab (very unlikely, but not impossible) I truly believe our military will come down on the right side (in...

Health, life and death transcend politics 24/7/365. Anyone who doesn't get that has some serious issues.

Believe me, you are far from the only one that thinks Obama wants to destroy this country.

We just thought Clinton was bad news. We had no idea just how bad news could be.

The year 2010 is going to be fraught with peril. Obama and his Socialist Party of America are hell bent on weakening this nation to the point that a 'national emergency' will occur, requiring the imposition of direct presidential control. The National Emergencies Act will allow him to do just that for a period of up to two years. During that time we'll have suspension of the Constitution, martial law, confiscation of firearms, gold and whatever else Obama deems important, etc., etc.- all of the crap that is normally associated with a third-world coup.

Oh, and BTW, everyone thinking that the power will be returned to the people at the end...

This country is in the most dire straights it has seen since 1861 - 1865.

The current situation has been in the making for at least 50 years.

The Democrats would have put their plan for action into effect before now but the perfect storm- a Democratic president and Democratic-controlled House and Senate- didn't occur until 2008.

If the 2010 elections don't go the Democrats way, it is entirely possible that a crisis will be manufactured and will serve as a pretext for the declaration of a national emergency. The constitution could be suspended, martial law declared, firearms and gold confiscated, the media taken over by the government, etc., etc. The National Emergencies Act stipulates that presidentially declared...

Believe me, you're not the only one that's had that thought- I know more than a few people that are wondering about that very thing.

Is it probable? Likely not. Is it possible? Definitely. If the Dems are going to pull something, they'll have to do it before November 2. This will be a very interesting spring and summer.

"I'm almost completely convinced that the plans of the progressives do not include the possibility of failure to be reelected, because the United States as we know it will be rendered non-functional by then. (ie: elections will be so fixed that defeat just won't happen.) I can't think of any other scenario that explains what's happening."

I've been saying this for months. There's only two things that explains the behavior of the Progressive Democrats- they're either so far out of touch they actually think they're going to be re-elected or they're not worried about it because they have some sort of plan to take power. If the latter is the case I'm thinking that Obama would use the National Emergency Act (sp?) to install...

China may have a reasonably up-to-date military and possibly (potentially?) millions in uniform but they lack serious force-projection capability. There is also a big difference between a 'reasonably up-to-date' military and our military. If they ever decided to attack Taiwan (which they would only do if Taiwan declared independence or something else equally offensive to CCP sensibilities), all the US would have to do is park a couple of carrier battle groups in the region and that would be the end of that.

South vs. North Korea? If the North were silly enough to come over the border en masse the South (with or without US support) would smoke them pretty quickly.

Japan should be able to pretty much handle anyone in the...
