The Americans are coming! Some in a Texas county fear an Obama-led U.S. military invasion.

BASTROP, Texas The office of the Bastrop County Republican Party is in an old lumber mill on Main Street, with peeling brown paint and a sign out front that captures the partys feelings about the Obama administration: WISE UP AMERICA!
Inside, county Chairman Albert Ellison pulled out a yellow legal pad on which he had written page after page of reasons why many Texans distrust President Obama, including the fact that, in the minds of some, he was raised by communists and mentored by terrorists.
So it should come as no surprise, Ellison said, that as the U.S. military prepares to launch one of the largest training exercises in history later this month, many Bastrop residents might suspect a secret Obama plot to spy on them, confiscate their guns and ultimately establish martial law in one of Americas proudly free conservative states.
They are not nuts and wackos. They are concerned citizens, and they are patriots, Ellison said of his suspicious neighbors. Obama has really painted a portrait in the minds of many conservatives that he is capable of this sort of thing.
