If the president wanted to destroy this country, this is how he'd do it
By Bryan Fischer
If a Machiavellian genius were to set out to destroy the United States, he would do three things. Disarm and weaken our military so it cannot defend us against foreign enemies. Disarm the National Guard so it cannot defend the States against the federal government. Nationalize and militarize law enforcement by weaponizing bureaucrats.
That version of the U.S. would be helpless, governed by a tyrant, and without a cultural or moral core. It would soon cease even to faintly resemble the country bequeathed to us by the Founders.
Whether by malevolent design or stupendous ineptitude and rash impulse, this is precisely the blueprint being followed by our current president.
As George Washington said, "A free people ought not only to be armed and disciplined but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government." A power-mad president would not want any State actors with "sufficient arms and ammunition" to protect their own citizens from federal oppression. In other words, if he finds it necessary to fire on a state's militia, he doesn't want that militia to be able to shoot back.
At the same time our president is weakening our military and neutering the National Guard, he is weaponizing bureaucrats. He famously declared in 2008 that we can no longer "continue to rely on our military" to protect our national security. No, said the president, "We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."
That statement has been forgotten by everyone. Everyone, that is, except President Obama. He has made good on this frightening promise in ways that most Americans don't realize. He currently has 120,000 bureaucrats i.e., civilians representing federal agencies who are armed to the eyeballs.
Here is just a partial list:
The U.S. Department of Education
The Bureau of Land Management (200 uniformed law enforcement rangers and 70 special agents)
The U.S. Department of the Interior
The U.S. Postal Inspection Service (with an armed uniformed division of 1.000)
The National Park Service
The Environmental Protection Agency (200 special agents)
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (224 special agents)
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (Yes, the president has put lethal weapons into the hands of our nation's weathermen, God help us.)
So under this president, our military has been critically weakened, our state militias have been critically weakened, and our nation's bureaucrats have been armed to the earlobes. Only a fool who does not love this country as founded could fail to be deeply alarmed.
This president has two and one-half more years to work his mischief. Who will stand in his way?
