Plenty of people in the military hate Obama, but I have never heard anybody talk about “taking him out.” I’m calling BS on this.

He could massacre a troop of girl scouts on the White House lawn during the Easter Egg roll, butcher them, barbecue them and serve them to the participants and he still wouldnt be impeached. And if you criticized him about it, the press would say its a black thing and accuse you of being a racist tea party rethuglican for bringing it up while licking their fingers and asking Michelle what kind of spice rub theyre using and ask for more macaroni & cheese and a refill of their kook-aid.Pretty close to the truth.

The military wants to take out the President. Now that gays are allowed to be open in the military then saying that guys in the military want to take out the President takes on a whole different meaning.
One that I’m sure Bath House Barry would support.

Plenty of people in the military hate Obama, but I have never heard anybody talk about taking him out. Im calling BS on this. I only know two people in the military, and I know one of them pretty well. It is inconceivable he would ever say anything like this. He knows the rules, just like everyone else.
Our enemies love to take advantage of foolish talk like this.

Anyway, I fail to see the logic. So you unseat Obama. Would you put the GOPe in charge? A cabal of US military generals?
Do you then force the progressives to live according to your dictates? Or do we all get to enjoy the freedom of living like we were enlisted on a military base?
There is no substitute for winning the war of ideas.

“And some in the military love the president. So what?”
Good point, good question. While traveling, I met an Army officer who was bragging about quietly violating the order about political activity and volunteering in the current resident’s first campaign.

I’d hope so but, it sounds like a couched threat.

“Theyre referencing a comment by Boykin that appeared in WND, where he said that the notion of a military coup is out of the question.”
Thanks for that comment.
I was beginning to believe I was the only one that read it that way.
Leftist routinely take their assumptions, which are routinely wrong, and try to make facts out of them which are opposite from reality.

Exactly so. Our revolutions tend to be at the ballot box. Which is one reason our government has outlasted so many of the S. American republics.

When your birth certificate is proven to be a fraud, which is needed to legally run for office, that is a bloodless coup. Completely illegal.

If no general was willing to resign, much less go to prison, over the treasonous ROE in Afghanistan, this story is ridiculous.

This is the pressure cooker value as long as the elections are trusted as being honest.
To: fabian
When your birth certificate is proven to be a fraud... Proven to whom? How many are satisfied with the proof?
Many - including myself - believe that any and all firearms laws are illegal under the Second Amendment.
Break those laws and wave a copy of the Constitution around as your defense. See what happens.
You're talking politics, not law.

And they are increasingly fraudulent.
Now what.
I don’t see curing this via elections, esp. since the Rs are so corrupt, weak and/or on board.

To: don-o
Our Constitution puts a civilian in charge of the military and as a result a coup would not be constitutional Are those in the US military citizens first or solders first? Hey General, the military uniform can be taken off and also, the military, by constitutional law do not have to obey an unconstitutional order or orders from a fraud president (dictator) holding office unconstitutionally. So military commanders ordering their troops to fire on American citizens is unconstitutional so the commanders that issues such orders should be immediately removed and with a bullet if necessary.
