???? he already has!
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.
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?
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.
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.

Even lefties I know see this happening and they are pleased with it.
This writer would be correct, but as some of us see, the checks and balances we once had are either diminished, or they don't exist at all now.
And what about those “honest and fair” elections? What a joke, no more of a disgrace to me and others. One of the reasons why our dear leader was elected is because of voter fraud.
2010 there will be elections, but it will not matter. Do not underestimate the civilian police force. I do think they are out there.
During the election all I heard from conservative talk show hosts, was voter fraud!!! When the election ended, they were silent.
It always amazes me when people think that a Nazi type situation cannot happen here. Of course it can. They said the same think about 911 too.
Anyway my two cents worth.
Rather, he will find or manufacture a crisis that puts the country in extremis and he will present himself as the solution to that crisis. Think of Napoleon, think of Adolph Hitler. The method will resemble what Hugo Chavez has done by smaller bites and Venezuela. Do not forget that Hitler got his ratification after the Reichstag fire.
Obama need not have 100% cooperation of our military, he need only have the acquiescence of a few members of the military and a few key points to take total control. He need only psychologically handcuff the military with plausible arguments that what he is doing is somehow constitutionally authorized. He will have wise men of the left told the country that it is all in order and necessary in view of the crisis.
Here's the first reply:
Reflecting on the relationship between Hitler and the Wehrmacht causes me to be less optimistic and more cautious about relying on the military to muitiny against their own constitutionally ordained government even though the government might be committing unconstitutional acts.
First, Hitler had his brownshirts. Think Acorn. Think about the kids marching in their quasi-military fatigues and chanting, homage to Barack Obama. Think about the contemplated camps to be set up.
Second, Hitler had his SS. In other words he created his own praetorian guard virtually all dictators. It was the failure of the Imperial guard at Waterloo that spelled the end of Napolean Bonaparte. I would expect to see some sort of special military unit set up to act as a strike force.
Third, Hitler co-opted the German army by essentially tricking them into taking an oath professing loyalty personal to him.
If, purely hypothetically speaking of course, our present president tried to suppress any potential citizen revolts caused by his tyrannical usurpations, one might expect about 12% of our population, located mostly in our central cities, to the fanatically on his side. Those who fought for freedom would be labeled racists. A clever president, and Obama is certainly that, would find a way to co-opt vast elements of our society so that they would support him out of greed to get part of the spoils, exactly as he is doing in the economic arena today as he co-opts leaders of major industries who support his takeover of the automobile industry, the insurance industry, the banking industry and, soon, the healthcare industry. I would therefore expect to see our military forced to choose between a much more evenly distributed set of antagonists than merely the government against everybody else.
A clever president in such a circumstance would manufacture incidents as Hitler did on the eve of his invasion of Poland by shooting some of his own prisoners and claiming they were, in effect, Polish terrorists. By these incidents he would at least create a fog, room for his propagandists to maneuver leaving the choices for the military much less clear.
At the end of the day it is not clear that it will be clear to the military which side they should choose if they want to take the "side of freedom." We live in a land of 300 million people and the military will not be asked to make war on their friends and families, they will be making war on anonymous demographic populations.
These, of course, are only the wildest speculations made in response to other wild speculation on the other side. I am not predicting or am I advocating any such thing as might be described But because it is not inconceivable, we should concentrate on winning the political struggle rather than lurking in our bunkers with hands clasped around our hunting rifles.
I agree with the author, Obama is unlikely to try for a coup. But that changes the instant the landscape changes. Let the country be devastated by a terrorist attack, let the financial system crash, let a plague loose among us, and watch the man on horseback emerge from the Oval Office. Would Obama contrive such a crisis? Probably not. But it is also worth remembering that the whole of Obama's life, everything he believes in, is directed toward reshaping the country in conformity with the radical ideals of Saul Alinsky and the Communist aspirations of The Frankfurt School. For Obama to deny himself his chance is to expect him to deny his whole life.
I submitted another reply in reply which dealt further with the assertion that the military would prevent Obama from contriving a coup:
He needs the support of the U.S. MILITARY.
How you gonna argue with that???
By arguing that Obama does not need the support of the US military, he needs the support of only a portion of the US military. Or, alternatively
He does not need the support of the US military he needs only the passivity of the US military while his extra military forces lockdown for him. Or, alternatively
It is not need the passivity of the whole of the US military but only the passivity of a portion of the US military at a few key strategic choke points. Or, alternatively
He operates under a patina of authority during crisis, (terrorist strike on the homeland or economic collapse) perhaps a national referendum, perhaps a rigged national convention, which gives him authority to suspend the Constitution and operate by Fiat, which only need be persuasive and plausible enough to permit the military to support him or remain passive.
If your salvation to protect us from an in-house coup is the US military, you're relying on one of the finest institutions in the entire world, but one with absolutely no experience in these kinds of affairs except as occurred in 1861 and you might be aware that the US military was hardly of one mind.
My heart is always cheered to hear absolutist affirmations of how the military will operate and how the stock market will behave from people who have no more credentials to judge than I do.
They’re just waiting for THE moment of the crisis they’re creating themselves for their climaxing coup d’etat to be justified.
I want to know just where the 8.5 BILLION $$$ of TARP is going to be used for at ACORN.
Are they buying weapons and gear to create the army one of their leaders sopke of to start the war she spoke of having when they have an army?
There won’t be a coup. From either political direction.
The military and police don’t like BOzo so he would have to assemble his civilian army who would soon become targets for target practice. Americans did not buy all of those guns for nothing. Too many Americans beleive in the second amendment.
Obama will use some trumped up crisis to trigger the emergency powers he is now seeking to take over the Internet and other media so that only "true" facts are being reported. Note how the White House is being very critical of the media and its reporting errors. My bet is the swine flu is being groomed as a major crisis that will trigger emergency powers. Despite a demonstrated mortality that is lower than snow shoe accidents, the H1N1 flu is being portrayed as worse than the Black Death and the 1918 pandemic. If lots of cases are reported this fall, watch for the White House to declare a national emergency and then attempt to sieze control of the media.
