A former top general and current executive at the Family Research Council says members of the military have considered staging a coup d'état against President, but will not because of civilian control of the military.
"People I've spoken to would like to see the military 'fulfill their constitutional duty and take out the president,' " retired Army Lt. Gen. William Boykin told World Net Daily, a website best known for pushing Obama "birther" conspiracy theories. "Our Constitution puts a civilian in charge of the military and as a result a coup would not be constitutional. You're not going to see a coup in the military."
"I talk to a lot of folks who don't support where Obama is taking the military, but in the military they can't say anything," Boykin said.
Boykin, an evangelical Christian who is now the executive vice president of the Family Research Council, was publicly repudiated by President Bush twice in 2003 for saying Muslims worship an "idol" and not "a real God." Last year, Boykin abruptly pulled out of appearing at a West Point ceremony after controversy erupted over the invitation. (Boykin has also said Islam "should not be protected under the First Amendment" and that there should be "no mosques in America" because "a mosque is an embassy for Islam and they recognize only a global caliphate.")

Those paying attention have long understood it's too late to avoid that. It's already occurred.
Government intentionally flooded the country with tens of millions illegally.
It's no secret U.S. history and the electoral process has already been undermined and compromised by this epic lawlessness.
Yep. You summed it up. Very accurately.
Not particularly. I prefer Zero Hedge, American Thinker, Takimag, and good old Free Republic for my news.
You have to admit, sometimes WND seems more like THE WORLD tabloid than a serious news site. The best thing there is Colin Whatshisface and his monitoring of minority driven flash mob violence. The rest seems to be an INFOWARS wannabe with more ads, fewer references and a bit less hyperbole.
WND, SHTFplan and Oathkeepers spring to my mind when someone uses the term “false flag operation”.
Yeah, I’m a skeptic. Sue me.
You prefer MSM like CNN and the LA Times?
Not particularly.
That is a relief.
Family Research Council, World Net Daily, Tinfoil Headware Alert. Thanks don-o.
You don’t want to create a martyr. (not you, don-o)
I call bs on this one.
No one could possibly be this stupid....right?
That is the advantage (I think, you don’t have to!) other countries have over us.
They have a mechanism to take out the trash.
It doesn’t always help, just look at Argentina, where Peronism, which is exactly what Obama is installing here, cannot be eradicated.
And the difference between now and that theoretical is what?
His every word is defended, every action idolized and worshiped by masses of educated and uneducated ignoramuses.
When the mouthpiece media is writing his "legacy" when he is out of office in three years (crap, three more years?) he will have "governed" as an utter deity walking the earth.
I simply do not see any measure of the idolatry which can be increased.
In the eyes of the neo-communist "progressive liberals" he is being "martyred" by any critique no matter how slight and he himself is a true believer... of himself .
.
Isn’t that diversity training?
Considering that he implemented a free-market economy, you could do a heck of a lot worse.
What’s the next step when you know the socialist govt. in OUR White House will pull out all stops and fix the vote & “win” the election? Remember the last election, and how the computers in some states were programmed to switch a vote from Romney to Oboma? Google it to find out more.
Free Market but still a dictator. Yes zer0 has been dictatorial but the idiots elected him.
So the military has a constitutional duty to "take out the president" but can't because it's unconstitutional? Well that makes sense. </sarcasm>
What a nutjob. There will be no coup, and nobody in the military that could remotely accomplish it is considering it.
If we play the hypothetical: - even under Obama - a coup would fail because the American soldier would not follow someone who attempted this.
The only way we could install leadership worse than Obama would be to have a military coup.
Now what.
^^^^^^^^
Well....We have history as an example.
When elections are corrupt revolutions and civil wars follow.
When elections are corrupt ...
If you like your “one man one vote”, you will be able to keep your “one man one vote”. Period.
If you like your franchise, you will be able to keep your franchise. Period.
No one will take them away. No matter what.
If you like your quaint experiment in democracy, you will be able to keep your quaint experiment in democracy. Period.
No one will take them away. No matter what.
Did you not read “retired”?
not just you, and not just active duty, many retired want the same thing, but then you will have to take biden with him, as biden is worse, as biden is so STUPID!
