The Effort to Overthrow the Democratically Elected President
Newsmax ^ | Friday, 07 September 2018 12:01 AM | Patrick Buchanan

The campaign to overturn the 2016 election and bring down President Trump shifted into high gear this week.

Inspiration came Saturday morning from the altar of the National Cathedral where our establishment came to pay homage to John McCain.

Gathered there were all the presidents from 1993 to 2017, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama, Vice Presidents Al Gore and Dick Cheney, Secretaries of State Hillary Clinton, John Kerry and Henry Kissinger, the leaders of both houses of Congress, and too many generals and admirals to list.

Striding into the pulpit, Obama delivered a searing indictment of the man undoing his legacy:

"So much of our politics, our public life, our pubic discourse can seem small and mean and petty, trafficking in bombast and insult and phony controversies and manufactured outrage. . . . It's a politics that pretends to be brave and tough but in fact is born of fear."

Speakers praised McCain's willingness to cross party lines, but Democrats took away a new determination: From here on out, confrontation!

Tuesday morning, as Senate Judiciary Committee hearings on Judge Brett Kavanaugh's nomination to the Supreme Court began, Democrats disrupted the proceedings and demanded immediate adjournment, as scores of protesters shouted and screamed to halt the hearings.

Taking credit for orchestrating the disruption, Sen. Dick Durbin boasted, "What we've heard is the noise of democracy."

Did anyone from the Bush campaign apologize for the 2000 South Carolina slur that he had a negro girl out of wedlock?

"It is a sacrifice to make others uncomfortable"

No, seriously... that line was used by a protest leader in Chicago this week.

Consider if the Democrats do not take the House and the Republicans hold the Senate. Then impeachment is a dead issue. The Mueller investigations are also a dead end and in desperation the Democrats are trying to oust Trump by the 25th Amendment. That too will go no place. What then? The deep state and vitriolic Trump haters have no other options left than armed rebellion. I could see Antifa lead riots, acts of terrorism and even political assasinations. The country could be in chaos with violence and terrorism. In this chaos I could see Obama create a shadow government and invite UN peacekeepers to restore order and him to the White House. The presence of foreign troops on US soil would trigger a real civil war. Hopefully the US military would uphold its oath to defend the Constitution from all enemies foreign and domestic and crush this rebellion.

Agree. Really tired of being mis-characterized.

The question that no one can answer is this? Are there enough adults left in America with enough wisdom, experience and knowledge of evil human nature to respond effectively to the outrages we are seeing from what is now a corrupt government, it’s bureaucracies, some of the judiciary and the media. They are entrenched and most of them unelected by the people. We are presently under an Oligarchy, not a Republic or Democracy. Many fear civil war if this continues which certainly will not end with the current perpetrators winning the battle, for it will destroy the foundations the US was built on and survived on. The meanest among us will win and set up an entirely different nation than most have ever known. Many of us will perish. Donald Trump may turn out to be the “voice in the wilderness,” but, he tried and was legally and Constitutionally elected to be our President. Perhaps, somewhere in this world is a young nation who will study what once was the American system and will adopt it’s tenets and become a place of freedom for people yet unborn. My prayer is that God will give those of us who see and know what is going on the courage to get through our lives and to somehow teach others to rely on spiritual strength for the journey, for God’s power is our hope in this dire and worsening, very lawless situation.

Looks like I was right to caution folks here about peeing all over McCain’s grave - he hung out the “Urinal” sign and his supporters did more effective peeing than anyone here ever could have...

Inspiration came...........and went with the dead man! This is a coup that needs to be brought to light, which it has and brought before a grand jury. Any effort to overthrow a president without reason is treason
