Pundit John Perry on Newsmax:

” There is a remote, although gaining, possibility America’s military will intervene as a last resort to resolve the “Obama problem.” Don’t dismiss it as unrealistic.

America isn’t the Third World. If a military coup does occur here it will be civilized. That it has never happened doesn’t mean it wont. Describing what may be afoot is not to advocate it.

[...]

Will the day come when patriotic general and flag officers sit down with the president, or with those who control him, and work out the national equivalent of a “family intervention,” with some form of limited, shared responsibility?

Imagine a bloodless coup to restore and defend the Constitution through an interim administration that would do the serious business of governing and defending the nation. Skilled, military-trained, nation-builders would replace accountability-challenged, radical-left commissars. Having bonded with his twin teleprompters, the president would be detailed for ceremonial speech-making.”

Boy, the right wing sure got over it’s conviction that even criticizing the president during wartime is a bad thing, didn’t it?

And no, there’s no such thing as a ‘civilized’ military coup–unless by civilized you mean everyone’s too terrified of being killed to speak out. And history shows that promises to overthrow an elected leader to restore some nation’s Constitution are lies.

Fortunately, I find the prospect of America’s military betraying their oath to their country and the whole civilian-command concept much less likely than Perry does.
