DeWitt, et al,
Allow me to put a different spin on this. As a 30 year military veteran who had access to many exercise scenario and planning functions I can tell you this is common practice. Our military leaders are tasked by the NCA (National Command Authority) to have contingency plans for any conceivable event that may befall our nation. The military would only act on orders from the NCA in the event of serious threats to our nation, either natural disasters, Nuclear, Chemical, or Biological attack, internal insurrection is only one scenario.
These exercise/planning events occur on a regular basis, the exercise planners, scenario developers are usually civilian 50 pound heads who may have their own political feelings, unlike the military who will abide by the Presidents orders, Republican or Democrat. I will agree that using the Tea Party as potential threat to the nations security was quite a stretch, but again only a scenario which when planned for and contingency operations are developed it would apply across the board. Perhaps if they identified the “bad guys” as the New Black Panthers, Skin Heads or white supremacists in the west as the subjects of a possible insurrection it may have been more palatable. I would guess they chose the Tea Party because we are probably the most organized, outspoken group in the country espousing change.
Contingency plans are just that, in the event of an emergency the Military has a plan for nearly anything that could possibly happen. We were the first ones on scene at Katrina, we had a plan. FEMA didn’t, the city of

I believe there are more instances of the abridgement of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations.
