Why Obama Could Not Stage a Coup
The American Thinker ^ | September 12, 2009 | Bruce Walker

Posted on 09/12/2009 6:01:43 AM PDT by Scanian

Some conservatives have begun to openly wonder if Obama is going to seize power in America. Would he want to do this? Perhaps so (a scary thought, but he has promised change.) No one dreamed that Carter, the worst president of the last century, wanted or planned to seize power. Clinton wanted to win power, but the worst anyone expected of Clinton was Huey Long bossism.

Obama rose in politics through the thoroughly corrupt one-party government of Chicago. His spiritual advisor sounds like a rabble-rousing storm trooper. His intellectual mentor, Saul Alinksy, like the Bolsheviks and Nazis, believed in state terrorism. If Obama wanted to follow their leads, could he? I believe not.

Obama IS leading a coup. It is a coup by degrees. Revolution on the installment plan.

Today’s Tea Party should serve notice to Obama that he has limited powers in our country.

He is grabbing power unConstitutionally in big chunks, and purposefully destroying the economy of the US to create chaos and grab more control, and may therefore run this country into a depression, and what would follow is a worldwide depression.

Welll give BamaKennedy some time, he knows our RHINOs are with him at least in spirit. And he did get several banks worth of ‘walking around money’ for the next election. Most especially since our lord McCain got all that ‘dirty’ money out of the political system.

I don’t know where you have been, or what planet you are living on, but, at this point in time, he has. Also he is consolating his power more each day.

He owns the media. He owns the banks. He owns General Motors. He ownd Chrysler. He owns the Democrat Party. And until proven different, he owns the Republican Party. And last but not least, he holds title to the fools, idiots, and traitors that live in america and they are legon.

What more proof do you need?

Absolutely true. But people in gerneral do like like confronting the left because the left are violent radicals who use slander, deceit and trechery to destroy good people.
And all it takes for radicals like the communists and national socialist party of Germany to suceed is for good people to do nothing but yammer.
And we are all good at yammering to the choir, are we not.

he won an election by a vote that reflected the stupidity of 52% of the voting public.

He is (if he is an American citizen) legally elected....but he is trying to bypass the constitution and we must be eternally vigilant that this POSOTUS doesn’t do anything to circumvent our jewel of freedom.

The point of the article is that any coup Husein began would end in failure, therefore he would not do it.

However, the failure is precisely the point. Any coup would go along way towards destroying the US - which is Hussein’s objective. If his coup fails, America falls. If his coup succeds, he wins. Either way Hussein & Co have nothing to lose. Look for it.

What concerns me more than a coup attempt is civil war. With ther breakdown in civil order well advanced, what I fear he is doing with his ACORN and moveon.org allies is corrupt the electoral and judicial processes so that whichever side loses, the more emotional elements will feel that it was stolen, and react violently.

stupidity of 52% of the voting public.

and how much of that 52% is attributed to the ill-gotten gains from the fraudulent activities of ACORN? I mean, if you pull away the ACORN necro-voters, how many live people actually voted for him?

The commies always benefit from chaos. Why? Because they are better organized than their opposition. Thus, they take advantage of the chaos to be the “last men standing”.

Onada and his commie buddies are creating chaos by creating one “crisis” after another. Climate Change (nee global warming), the economy and health care. These are all crises manufactured by the left.

The reason for Onada’s haste is to deny people the opportunity to examine these faux crises to examine them and see them for what they are. In other words, he must get his agenda through before the opposition coalesces against him.

Happily, the was not able to move fast enough. Obamacare and the Tea Parties spoiled his run to socialism. IMHO he and his band of angry commies are dead men standing. But they won’t exit the stage quietly so we’ll have to bear with continuing attacks on the Constitution and America at least until Onada’s term is up.

Mid-term elections have the potential for neutering Onada, but that remains to be seen. In the mean time he will be seeking to consolidate his power by Executive Order (aka fiat).

My 2 cents.

1. The military would be split and very disfuntional. Officers and NCO’s are 90% conservative, but there are a large percentage of black junior enlisted who would put race before all else.

2. The military could be moved outside the country. Start a war and move the bulk of the troops and equipment overseas, where they cannot return quickly.

3. By getting a large number of people rioting & pillaging, Obama could scare the majority of the general population into accepting Martial Law or its equivalent AND trusting in him as the only man capable of restraining the mob.

4. The only effective answer to the above would be a quick repression of “the mob” by armed citizens.

5. Buy more ammo and buy more guns, so that you too can be an effective community organizer.

TRUE

Conservatives are much more likely to be veterans and own guns than leftists.
