This is serious. The Right Wing through the author of this piece has clearly committed a seditious act. From the Tea Parties, to the raucous town halls, to the above average vile towards the president, this is ultimately what they would actually support.
The Right Wing like to portray themselves as more patriotic than everyone else when ultimately they portray all the instincts of dictatorship or government not of the people but of a particular people.

In a column published yesterday, Newsmax’s John L. Perry wrote that there is a "gaining" possibility that the military will stage a coup to "resolve the ‘Obama problem.’" Newsmax has apparently removed the column from its site. Links are now redirected to the homepage, and Perry’s author page has no mention of his latest work. You can read the full text here. The coup — which would be "civilized" and "bloodless," according to Perry — would consist of a "patriotic general" sitting down with the President and working out a new system in which "skilled, military-trained, nation-builders" would "do the serious business of governing and defending the nation" while Obama would still be allowed to make speeches. Obama, he said, is inviting such a "family intervention." |
