America isn't the Third World. If a military coup does occur here it will be civilized. That it has never happened doesn't mean it won't. Describing what may be afoot is not to advocate it.

Will the day come when patriotic general and flag officers sit down with the president, or with those who control him, and work out the national equivalent of a "family intervention," with some form of limited, shared responsibility?

Imagine a bloodless coup to restore and defend the Constitution through an interim administration that would do the serious business of governing and defending the nation. Skilled, military-trained, nation-builders would replace accountability-challenged, radical-left commissars. Having bonded with his twin teleprompters, the president would be detailed for ceremonial speech-making.

Military intervention is what Obama's exponentially accelerating agenda for "fundamental change" toward a Marxist state is inviting upon America. A coup is not an ideal option, but Obama's radical ideal is not acceptable or reversible.

Unthinkable? Then think up an alternative, non-violent solution to the Obama problem. Just don't shrug and say, "We can always worry about that later."

In the 2008 election, that was the wistful, self-indulgent, indifferent reliance on abnegation of personal responsibility that has sunk the nation into this morass.

haha I don't even know what to say.. He's not advocating the shadowy underbelly of our secret government formally overthrowing our elected leader. He's just SAYING...it's possible. Someone lobotomize this guy for writing such destructive bull****.

And people wonder why I think the conservative movement in this country has totally lost its mind. Bush was a much bigger threat to liberty in this country than Obama has been to this point, and yet, for some magical reason, conservatives not only tolerated it, but PRAISED it. And yet, when a Democrat is in office, we suddenly have to launch a military coup. If they were at least blind to party affiliation, then I could at least say that their beliefs are consistent. But this? It's partisan hypocrisy, pure and simple.

America isn't the Third World. If a military coup does occur here it will be civilized.

On what ****ing planet is this guy living??? A "civilized" military coup d'etat? What the **** has he been smoking???

I tell you, between this guy, the "Time to Water the Tree of Liberty" guy, and Sarah "OBAMA WANTS TO KILL MY BABY!" Palin, etc. etc., I've come close to losing any respect whatsoever for the conservative movement in this country. Conservatism is one thing, and I have no problem with that. But this? This is pure insanity. Pure. Insanity.

I'm not how sure civilized I'd be during a military coup.

[stylicho]

You're forgetting one thing. A coup was about to be attempted during fdr's presidency by the corporate elites because they thought he was bringing communism to the us. Look it up. I wish I could but I don't really have a full understanding of the machine I'm using lol. If I'm not mistaken one of the corp elitists was the head of goodyear at the time. Add that to the search for more detail.

a military coup against a democratically elected president and government...I still like to think the Americans wont fall that low.

[stylicho]

Type (the business plot to overthrow fdr). I looked it up but can't figure out how to copy and paste lol

Nah, our current PM is more likely to collaborate with a Republican coup than anything else.

In a sense the argument presented by the article's author works against his conclusion "supporting" a coup. Because our military doesn't necessarily swear allegiance to those in power, usurping any one president could be seen as detrimental to the ideals of the U.S. which the military swear to protect. Or something.

Why is the word Republican being thrown into this all of a sudden? The military is run under Obama.

We all know that the 2010 election is going to parallel 1994 anyway.

The Chilean military was run under Allende in 1973... that ended well for him...
But anyway, aside from a few far right-wingers nuts, would the American people really accept their democratically elected president to be overthrown by the military?

[millenniumman75]

No way!

I'm just saying that the person who wrote this article may not be a Republican either.

[IDK]

There will never be a military coup. If there ever is some kind of coup, it will be done by the capitalists of the world and we will never even know it happened.

Who is "we all".. And why do you have such strong faith in the republican party? As if all problems came from the left? There is equal blame on both sides; how about the dismantling of both parties???

Well, the way he talks (solve the "Obama problem" and support a military coup against him ), it's easy to see that the author more likely voted for the republican than for Obama and the democrats.

Do I? I don't know. I just know that a lot of people in there now will likely not be there in 2011.

[Micronian]

Who needs a military coup the US?

Heck, they killed Kennedy without starting any kind of war.

If people are actually pondering a "coup" against Obama, then he really is on the right track. It seems like the good guys are always killed before their time. The bad ones seem to live until they're 90yrs old. Go figure.

Pretty much anybody who preaches peace, tolerance, and change ends up getting shot. JFK, RFK, Martin Luther King Jr., Mahatma Ghandi, John Lennon...all assassinated. Meanwhile, mass murderers like Stalin and Pol Pot died of natural causes. Of course, there are examples that go the other way, as well.

It's sad, and you may be disgusted by it, but it's true.

Who knows. If more tea party protesters start carrying guns to rallies, we might have a revolt on our hands (joking).

Just because it has happened in the past doesn't mean that it must continue to happen. We as a species are constantly evolving, and, unlike most other animals, we can suppress baser instinct. So if, even if this is the way that humanity inclines, we can change it. History has shown that progress is inevitable, and the future is the responsibility of the living.
