I wonder if America needs a Pinochet to straighten things out?

The world's greatest intellectual, Thomas Sowell, Ph.d, warned that there may come a day when the American military just won't take it anymore.

DADT repeal is horrible and a way to undo it needs to be found, but you really want a military coup in America? Really? Is that your solution? Then who takes over, whichever general bribes the most troops? Go read up on the Praetorian Guard. How long does he stay in power, until another general knocks him off? Just wow. That's not the conservatism I believe in (neither is DADT repeal, for that matter, but at least it was duly passed by an elected legislature). Win the next election and we can fix this.

I have lived in and spent time in military dictatorships and I don’t believe that you want any part of that experience as a citizen.

Why does your tag line advocate John Bolton for Vice President when he hold a different view from us on gays in the military?
