“Didn’t know the Marines had to take the bolts out of their rifles for the Inaugural,” an email forwarded to Gun Rights Examiner from a United States Marine Corps source observed. “Wonder if someone can explain why [they] would be marching in the inaugural parade with no bolts in their rifles!” Francis Porretto has the story
“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies.”

Makes sense from the view point of a Dictator,Saddam never allowed his generals or even his own sons to be armed in his presence.
I have been watching ABC’s series Last Resort,the one were a US Submarine commander goes rouge after receiving illegal orders from a corrupt president.The show was getting good ratings and had many followers,but was cancelled abruptly with rumors that it happened because nobody wanted to give anybody in the military ideas
The producer promised he would wrap up all the loose ends in the storyline in the last episode which he did.The last few minutes has the daughter of a defense contractor going to a party where the president is in attendance.She walks in,gets through security with the help of her father,walks up behind the president,calls out a greeting to him and as he turns to acknowledge him she pulls a pistol and caps him right between the eyes.All in all I would say it ended well

@Darin:
Yes, Obama is very worried about the U.S. military, which could easily remove him from office and end his physical existence in Allende 1973 style.
The military oath, after all, is to the REPUBLIC and not the president, and if the soldiers, sailors, marines and airmen decide Obama is a traitor who cannot be removed from office by legal means, it is their DUTY to terminate his command with extreme prejudice.
BTW, if the USMC does decide to come for Obama, I venture a guess they will come locked and cocked with fully functional M-4 automatic assault rifles.
The only reason he’d have done this is that he must have been sure that his own DemocRAT aligned security was looking after him – probably trained in North Korea or Iran or France.
All members of the armed forces are sworn to kill all enemies of the republic – foreign and domestic. Osama bin Kenya is demonstrably both.
And fuck the M-4 — going after Osama, start with a Predator & AGM-114′s and go one from there. A UGM-133A would be the best & surest kill!
@Andrew:
Obama did recently fire his Secret Service Director (although the official word was that he resigned to spend more time with his family) – so knowing what we know about Obama, this is a clear sign that a Praetorian Guard is in place around him.
The only problem with Praetorian Guards is that they often murder the emperor.
Article in Esquire magazine on the SEAL who shot Bin Ladin,loooong read,but worth it-

Obama is afraid of butterflies so Marines really must scare the $hit out of him.
Drones are BIG butterflies .
As Bart Simpsons has said: “Nobody suspects the Butterfly.”
Brennan was the first administration official to publicly acknowledge drone strikes in a speech last year, calling them “consistent with the inherent right of self-defense.” In a separate talk at the Northwestern University Law School in March, Attorney General Eric Holder specifically endorsed the constitutionality of targeted killings of Americans, saying they could be justified if government officials determine the target poses “an imminent threat of violent attack.”
