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.

Nor am I trying to justify it. I was merely stating the obvious.
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.
Yes indeed they do support him.
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.
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.

I did a google search on the article...seems the libs are sh*tting themselves over this article.
Revelation chapter 6: 1 to 8 - 'The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse'
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.
So you consider the removal of Zelaya in Honduras to be a coup?
Conspicuously absent is any military experience.
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?
DU absolutely hates him..DU wants Perry's head for treason News Max too!
Don't be suprised if it's just around the corner and don't be caught off guard when America is changed for ever.
Well I know he’s an idiot and told him as much. And I agree he should be zotted.
And marshall law is in the cards. I don’t think he will ever leave the white house. And the dems will hold congress if there’s a “crises”.
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...”
