Right wing extremists suggest military coup

I haven't heard a threat this hollow in a long time. Actually the website even took it down it was so ridiculous... next.

This is a tempest in a teacup. I can't see where we're in any danger of violence over this in our country. Even the issues themselves aren't done deals yet.

Rhetoric. Deserving to be ignored.

military coup indeed.

Why is this a suprise? The officers in the military are obligated to uphold the Constitution. I doubt that they would take part in a crime.

somehow I feel that its like Gore Vidal says, the American people are too stupid to see the problems with America. Sure there are a lot of religious nuts like the Abortion Clinic killers and the ones who would like to kill abortionists. Yet there are just plain religious nuts. But would they commit to a suicidal deed. I think not. So we are left with a long list of various sorts of insanity and just plain idiots. Clear the table and look for instance at the Bush War which is Obama's war now. Bush et al is responsible for the deaths of over 5000 young American kids and he should be labeled a murderer. And he is responsible for thousands of more young kids who will spend a life of being handicapped. There will be thousands of broken homes and families because of these brutal parasites,Yet they are guilty for the deaths of a million or more Iraqi civilians. Should these Bush Killers be permitted to escape the scales of Justice? Many have said that Obama has a constitutional duty to see that the Bush administration is held accountable and if he does not he is just as guilty. Shall our young highschool graduates be forced to die for indigent slaves and peasants from halfway around the world where a civilized government has never existed before. Shall these boys continue to die for a civilization whose laws are still too prehistoric and brutal, such as Sharia Law and honor killings which in any civilized nation is just plain murder. Even in peace, this world runs red with the blood of innocents and has been that way for over two thousand years. As long as the world is ignorant and illiterate and segregated as the Islam and the Zionists there can never be peace, but America can stop sponsoring the bloodshed in this world by stopping payment to Israel and any other uncivilized nation. One thing is sure a coup is not the way to secure this nation but a massive voter indocrination in the constitutional rights and the pathways we can take to restore our constitution and the Republic under the constitution. A massive indoctrination into informing the American people that We must replace the entire congress and Senate and start investigations into those who are known to be corrupt. We should be ready to impeach anyone who has sworn to uphold the constitution and yet has subverted the same. There are many constitution Lawyers who could start proceedings to indict those former servants known to be corrupt. No we do not need a coup, only sane and common sense to reestablish America as a REPUBLIC .

The discussion of this is very interesting,....but pragmatically, an armed military coup makes for great reading and Hollywood blockbusters but not much substance as prognostication. Unfortunately the secret service has to deal with more serious concerns.

Not to say Obama is a tyrant or dictator, he is not. But many men have become that which they preached against to get elected into an office.

There is unrest brewing and it has to do with taking away peoples individual rights by the government.
More people are aware of the changes in Washington than ever before.
Growing the government to Control citizens is happening more quickly in Obama's few months than in Bush's 8 years.

At first it was insidious and so people blew it off. With the current congress in power and an "I'll sign anything you guys(congress) put in front of me president the people are scared.

Congress should see this as a wake up call. That's all.
No one wants to see blood shed in the American streets.
This can be handled in a blood-less manner.

The same people who claim to be Constitution loving patriots are fantasizing about the first violent transfer of power in US history (assassinations aside). They love to use this quote in their defense:

"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." ~Thomas Jefferson

Only problem with this particular quote is that there isn't a tyrant that needs bleeding.

TYRANT:
1 a : an absolute ruler unrestrained by law or constitution b : a usurper of sovereignty
2 a : a ruler who exercises absolute power oppressively or brutally b : one resembling an oppressive ruler in the harsh use of authority or power

Obama is the freely elected POTUS who has a great deal of popular support for his reform initiatives. He can't write the bill. All he can do is sign it into law. There is nothing tyrannous about him. He's the one who keeps asking for a bill that gets bi-partisan support. The right-wing fear of tyranny stems from something else. Perhaps it is subconscious to them, but they fear the change that Obama represents. And certain boisterous media figures are stoking the flames of hatred and fear to the point that the weak-minded, prejudiced, and fanatic Americans lose their grip on reality and start to see the elected POTUS as a dictator or tyrant.

For those that look to Jefferson for answers:

"Liberty is to the collective body, what health is to every individual body. Without health no pleasure can be tasted by man; without liberty, no happiness can be enjoyed by society." ~Thomas Jefferson

"Mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed." ~Thomas Jefferson

"The care of human life and happiness, and not their destruction, is the first and only object of good government." ~Thomas Jefferson

"Whenever the people are well-informed, they can be trusted with their own government." ~Thomas Jefferson

The clueless people and/or Internet tough guys calling for a military coup won't like it if the military rulers decide to confiscate all privately-owned firearms after overthrowing Obama (there'd also be a hilarious irony in that). They should be careful what they wish for.

its fu(king pharmaceutical companies running our country. Its big oil that makes decisions about running climate change. Its about insurance companies who cause the health problem wanting to mandate it to us. Its about the government listening to the people instead of being ruled by corporations. We have had enough.! whos side are you on ? . because the coal,oil,and pharmaceutical industry couldnt give two shits about you. life is full of choices.

is there an Obama problem? Afterall,..he has gone more continuous days in office then McBushie without a terrorist attack on our land.

I don't understand where the "shredding of the constitution" is coming from. the fact of the matter is that obama is not radical, if anything he's not radical enough, nothing has drastically changed between him and bush and obama as most presidents do will just continue to tow the line. if all these whack jobs have a problem with corruption why didn't this revolution start with bush, clinton, bush, reagan, nixon, etc. just goes to show that with enough stupid impressionable people in this country even fascism can be made into an appealingly patriotic decision. and who exactly would run the government after this coup? glenn beck?

Simply --American nut cases are exiting the closets and the sewers.

YouTube is aflutter with ludicrous charges that Obama is the ANTI-CHRIST.

Who knows what else the bigots will resort to?

Opposition to Obama on policy is one thing. The hysterical hand wringing about his being the 'Anti-Christ' is one that I had not heard since one of my IDIOT neighbors used the term to describe Bill Clinton.

I believe that somewhere in the Bible it says "...by their fruits, ye shall know them!"

Well, by that standard the ludicrous campaign of lies and slanders should be judged for what it is: MASS PSYCHOSIS.

What is most worrisome is that a ruling elite of just one percent of this nation, an elite which, in fact, owns more than some 95 percent of the rest of us combined, will EXPLOIT these KOOKS and I fear to describe the hell that will be paid by all of us when that happens.

is the bush family behind this?
is gw still mad?
or again?
olo

These fine upstanding citizens have confused loss of privilege with some imagined loss of Constitutional rights and freedoms. The irony is when they were actually losing their rights they were down on their collective knees paying tribute to the person(s) taking them away in the name of homeland security and alike.

Challenge anyone of them to tell you just one freedom they've lost and they'll stumble, stammer and stutter to find words that don't show their bigotry &/or invoke God and some nonsensical incoherent argument.

There is a great graphic novel called DMZ which is about an American civil war. I recommend it.

The ignorant have strength in numbers. That is their only advantage.

Americans have a culture of superior egocentrism and seem to believe they are Gods chosen people. Nothing could be further from the truth. The world outside of America has some pretty potent Brain power. If you read the History of Industrial America, you will find a lot of larceny, conniving and common thievery that gave rise to many US corporations and businesses. Our space program which has gone the way of other American adventures was the product of Hitlers Germany. Jet Aircraft was first used in Germany. Russia gave birth to the Helicopter through Igor Sikorsky. You may have heard of Colonel Billy Mitchell who proved to the US goernment that Aviation was the next generation of war machinery and hew even predicted the Japanese invasion and for that his superiors, General MacArthur and the West Point generals court Marshalled him, reduced him to a Captain and destroyed his Character. So it is and has been with America. Robert Goddard our first Space pioneer needed funds to continue his rochetry experiements but the Government wouldn't help but they were willing to steal Germanies plans. And Claim that America is the Father of space travel. Where would we be if it were not for Werner Von Braun? Americans wake up an look at your selves in the mirror. Do you see any brains there? I think not you will probable see an IPod or a cell phone all made in China or Japan. We are living a big lie. As for our congress keeping us straight, you are dreaming again. They cannot even see to pass a decent civilized health plan to ease our pain. Our congress is a worthless as the T.. s on a bull. Thjey cannot even impeach a worthless tub of scum like the three lieing thieving musquiteers, George Bush, Dick Cheney and Donnie Rumsfeld. They could have impeached these criminals but were to scared to try.So how do you expect that Obama will save us when he hasn't even made an effort to repeal the Bush era agenda and a myriad of other things he promiised to change. Its OK to give him time but at this rate he will still be awaiting his first change in eight years. One thing is certain, with the corruption in Washington don't expect those Congressmen or Senators give anything away to the American Public. They are in control and will not cede a bit of constitutional rights to us the people. They are sworn to uphold and protect the constitution and yet they have no respect for the constitution or the people it was meant to protect. I fear we will never have the protection of this document, a legacy of our founding fathers.

Where were all you Right-wing Constitutionists when the Bush signed the Military Commissions Act, suspending Habeus Corpus and most of the Bill of Rights? Where we you when the legal framework for Gitmo was established?? Where were you when the White House outted an covert CIA agent for political purposes?? Where were you when Bush lied to us about Iraq's WMDs during the State of The Union?? Where were you on the no-bid defense contracts that subplanted real military jobs at ten times the cost to US taxpayers? Where were you on Warrantless Wire-Tapping??? Where were you when our ports and infrastructure were being auctioned off to the UAE?? It is a stark contradiction in terms and an oxymoran to threaten a military coup to defend the Constitution. The Constitiution and the Military Code of Conduct won't allow a Coup. We have a civilized governmental structure. Our Military has more discipline than that. A privatized uprising would be squashed immediatley. This is Right Wing outrage of convienence. So, when you are through tongue-kissing the flag, beating-off to Sarah Palin's new book and dry-fucking the cardboard tube that your new copy of the Constitution came in, remember, those guns in your closet won't give you a bigger johnson. Hate makes you stupid.

Bansheewail, over and out.

Any person making threats or encouraging acts of violence against the standing president of the United States of America should be brought up on charges of sedition, conspiracy and treason. Case closed.

As a veteran, I find it personally offensive that somebody would use the freedom of speech to incite the easily-persuaded sector of the population to act against their duly elected officials. You people had better wake up because if this kind of rhetoric goes unchecked we could find ourselves in a national level of civil unrest not seen since the late 1850s.

My fear is a 'private military' (Blackwater) coup. If Blackwater is prosecuted for their crimes, would they lend a hand to a military coup. Blackwater answers to no one. They have military equipment, which rivals our public military. Would it be our military against theirs?

Can the right-wing afford to hire Blackwater, for their own crusade? Yes! The Military Industrial Complex has made a lot of money off the wars started during the Bush years. Blackwater even has drones.

A military coup would not be pretty. War on American soil is not the answer. The right lost, cause they were wrong. They can't take our country by force. We vote in America. I hope President Obama is using the Patriot Act, to pursue home grown terrorists. Those who suggest a military coup, are home grown terrorists! Lock them up, before they cause a un-civil war on American soil.

If the rightwingnut psychopathss do this and take the country over, there will be tens of millions of deaths in the US alone, and hundreds of millions of deaths world-wide. They are a bunch of insane and profoundly idiotic scum.

8 years of Bush and these guys sit on their butts. 8 months of Obama and they claim things to be bad enough for a military coup?
Its all a bunch of talk anyway. Nut jobs like this are the minority, even in the republican party. I honestly hope that these cowards can come out of the woodwork and be destroyed before they hurt any innocent people.

This is why we have the Second Amendment. Because if a bunch of right-wing nutjobs take over, we can defend our rights if their intentions are less than noble.

It's a scary prospect if only the military has guns.

I swear to defend the Constitution of the United States from all enemies, foreign and domestic.
And when I say "all enemies, foreign and domestic", I ain't talking about my POTUS, President Obama.
You do the math.
RK ... out
RLTW!

Overthowing a corrupt, treasonous government isn't a treasonous act. It's a patriotic one. If our government doesn't quit severing us from our Constitutional, and basic HUMAN rights, a revolution will be of their own doing. Not some right wing extremists.

Everyone is a citizen, and human being. The threat of a revolution, military, or otherwise, is a problem for those who are currently running the government. To solve it, they polarize citizens against one another, using such words as right wing, left wing, conservative, liberal, hippy, black, white, man, woman, etc.

Once we begin to function as a single cell of human beings, desiring basic human, and civil rights, those who have thrust tyranny upon us will be very sorry indeed.
