At this point, nothing would shock me.

This is rubbish. We have him on the ropes and stupid talk like this does nothing but make him popular.

Obama Risks a Domestic Military Intervention

I pray for this each and every day.

Obama’s radical ideal is not acceptable

[darkside321]

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

Sorry but a military coup would make america like the third world. It´s still a democratic republic!

[happyathome]

Bad idea. No national institution is more respected than the American military. Currently the Left attacks our military at its peril (remember the reaction to “General Betray US”?. A coup would politicize the military in the eyes of the Left and allow them, if they ever won another election, to attack it at will, to the detriment of our national security.

Better to go through the democratic (small “d”) process and watch these Marxists be repudiated by the people who originally elected them.

Unlikely, unless Obama goes quite a lot further.

[sickoflibs]

Would you stop...LOL.... this post is just MSNBC candy.

[henkster]

Give it up, folks. It’s not gonna happen. Our military obeys the civilian authority, period.

[Drango]

Oh please...This is nonsense.

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

AT this point, this would be an absolutely disasterous idea. We are supposed to be the advocates of the Constitution and Rule of Law, not expediency.

Nothing, not even Obama, could do more to harm both the rule of law and the Constitution. If demographic and educational trends persist, the Republic may well be doomed, and whatever form of tyranny follows will be the legacy that the Boomers bequeath their posterity.

[XRdsRev]

Don’t count on it. Beleive it or not, there are plenty of people in the military both uniformed and civilian, who really like Obama and many more who are fairly apolitical but to whom the idea of overthrowing a sitting President would never fly.

[SMARTY]

“Risks”??? Try: is COURTING!!!!

He will LOVE that!!!

This stupid SOB is such poison for America (and so are his hateful friends)!

You could put all their ‘attributes’ into one place and still not make ONE single average politician. Even together they do not have the intellectual horsepower of a tree slug.

Anyone that has doubts about how far Obama and his crooks will go to turn America into a socialist country is very sadly mistaken! The Constituion IS being trashed and trampled whenever the Marxist can find a new way to do it! He will stop at nothing..and Americans are too complacent to realize it. By the way it is MARTIAL law, not marshall law. And as for November..will we still have elections? I doubt it!

[Drill Thrawl]

Interesting article from a bunch of lefties.

Trying to provoke a reaction me thinks.

[ReneeLynn]

Baloney! Who’s floating this balloon?

[mo]

This is BS....

[Star Traveler]

This is the more likely scenario ...

It is far more likely that a military coup, even if it began as a genuine effort to “restore the Constitution,” or “solve the Obama problem,” would be hijacked and transformed into an effort to subjugate the entire country under a militarized police state to an even greater extent than it is now.

The more probable scenario is the one that was outlined by Tommy Franks in a 2003 interview with the men’s lifestyle magazine Cigar Aficionado, where a military form of government would be implemented in the aftermath of a huge terror attack that kills millions.

Franks predicted that another mass casualty terror attack would occur that would cause the “population to question our own Constitution and to begin to militarize our country in order to avoid a repeat of another mass, casualty-producing event. Which in fact, then begins to unravel the fabric of our Constitution.”
