Martial Law Is the Answer - But What Is the Question?

« H E Politics :: Freedom :: Constitution :: email
posted Tuesday, 8 November 2005
The Bush Administration has actually called for martial law in the event of an avian flu outbreak in the U.S. No thank, you, Mr. President - this is an issue for local government. But it does demonstrate the desire of the Bush Administration to continue its expansion of Federal power. Martial law appears to be a desired solution to the problem of - well, I guess any "crisis" might do. Watch for further excuses to use Federal troops to solve state and local problems. Martial law is the answer - and the government appears to be looking for the right question.

Maybe I should wear gloves to the voting machines today? The Democratic levers might be tainted with bird flu...

This is unfortunately true. Martial law is what I fear most. Many people feel that it is unlikely. This makes me wonder what the people thought about this subject just before Hitler declared martial law. Some feel that (because of quite a bit of evidence) the events of Sept. 11 were an inside job. If that were true, the point of it would have been to eventually declare Martial law. To me it just shows the resolve of the American people, that we have yet let it get that far.

The current culture at the heart of America's military makes the sort of martial law many people fear a complete impossibility. The fine officers of our nation's military are taught from the very beginning of their service to respect civilian rule. They even go so far as to pledge themselves to the Constitution before their commander in chief.
