The Constitution places the President as the Commander-in-Chief of the military; to suspend the Constitution is to literally let them [the military] off any binding chains [in civilian governance]....Just because it is common practice does not make it right, or just.

So NS and others must think that 0bama is correct in supporting the bogus ex-president (or whatever his title) in Honduras who was last I heard holed up in the Brazilian embassy.

He spends 8 or more hours a day (payroll?) criticizing those who criticize 0bama.

How often does he criticize 0bama?

Never.

Why is he on FR still, that is the question.

Now that i am sure you are a leftist I will ignore you, you’re an idiot.

Being called an idiot by you is like being called ugly by Helen Thomas.

I do not understand why non-seq hasn’t been banned, but he is civil which is more than I can say for most liberals.

A coup? Do you know what happens then? Look at the history of Central and South America.

Geez, maybe they should reinstitute the Sedition Act. One man’s tripe is another’s treason.

Here's some background on Perry...

John L. Perry Biography

John L. Perry, an award-winning newspaper editor and writer, who served on White House staffs of two presidents, contributes a regular column to NewsMax.com.

Newspapers under his direction were consistent winners of awards for journalistic excellence. The Associated Press Managing Editors Association named him one of the 12 best newsroom managers among the AP's member newspapers.

Perry has received numerous awards for column and editorial writing and for public-service and spot-news reporting.

He has worked as an editor or reporter for several daily newspapers, including the Tampa Tribune, the St. Petersburg Times, the Buffalo Evening News and the Clearwater Sun.

With a master's degree from Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism, he was one of the first American journalists allowed into the Soviet Union after the death of Joseph Stalin.

Perry also has had a distinguished career in public policy. He served President Lyndon B. Johnson as deputy under secretary of commerce and was a White House speech writer and race-relations trouble-shooter for President Johnson.

In the Jimmy Carter administration, he was executive assistant to the under secretary of Housing and Urban Development and was interim director of public information for the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

Perry served as press aide to Gov. LeRoy Collins of Florida and executive assistant to the speaker of the Florida House of Representatives.

A specialist in corporate communications, strategic planning and crisis management, he was public-affairs counselor to several international and national businesses.

Perry was also assistant to the president of the National Association of Broadcasters, a member of the top-management team and director of public relations for the 1982 World’s Fair in Knoxville, Tenn., and an academic fellow at the Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions in Santa Barbara, Calif.

I did a google search on the article...seems the libs are sh*tting themselves over this article.

Sort of civil in hte sense that he doesn’t use four letter words; actually I’d call his tactics egregiously uncivil in the sense of dirty argument. Ignoring previous rebuttals, character attacks, lies, glossing over data which proves him wrong, etc. And the same over and over again ad infitinitum.

The rest of the world calls it a coup.

So you consider the removal of Zelaya in Honduras to be a coup?

A military coup would be a terrible thing, unfortunately today, in the the hands of of a morally insane and in the majority destructively venal and corrupt Congress and a cohort of Judges who refuse to speak out — leaving Obama to hold office many months more could be the destruction of all. What would he do in a tragic event — major terror attack, a nuke? An unstable man in such a position is a mortal risk to everyone on Earth. Should we wait for the military coup against him when he gives an angry order to launch nukes?

Not being familiar with the Honduran Constitution I couldn't say. But I've read our's front to back many, many times. And I can't see where it allows the military to depose the elected government. Can you point out the clause that allows for that please?

Some selected comments from DUmmieland that lays bare of the authoritarian, dictatorship, group-think:

“Now I can call them Nazis with Impunity...

This IS nothing less than treason!

They pull this s%^& - and it’s REVOLUTION time - with THEIR blood!!!

Oh I’d make sure to make it bloody.

Place this man under arrest

I reported them to the FBI and Secret Service.

If he doesn’t get a visit from the authorities

“One People, One Country, One Leader”

This would be a good way to weed out treasonous members of the AF...”
