Military officers are by usually careerists; enough of them will signal to the boss that they are willing to play ball.

Pretty good example of the classless bunch that are the democrat base.
A Trumpist calling anyone 'low-class' is like this guy calling someone 'muddy:'

Anyone with a bird, star/stars or a silver leaf on their collar is a careerist.

What a bunch of scared paranoids, thinking the Military capable of such a thing. The GOP knows how to stir the base to a fever. This was an editorial, after all.

If the country survived the IMO stealing an election via the Supreme Court without a coup happening. Any order from Trump would be passed along until someone followed it.


On internment, yes a very strong possibility given our countries history of treatment to those deemed different. Plus think of the money to be seized and made!

That's an understatement.

Dim wit? If Obama is a dim wit (and you will need to get your own IQ tested for that statement to stick), what about Bush. Let me help you, how about a disaster?

You are the one that seems to me to be clueless and classless.

Nahhh, it is just another way to justify and excuse getting their guns out then talk about the coming apocalypses. Driving up the prices of ammo and weapons once again. The Right knows keeping the base angry with conspiracies works better then true facts at turning out the vote.

Bush was no doubt a dim wit.

And, exactly what has Obama done ? About anything ? Any particular reason why they would never disclose his college records ? Let me give you a hint. He sucked.

But, he was for the welfare state which is pretty much the entirety of the Democrat base.

He made a total mess out of foreign affairs. Putin treated him like his bitch.

I guess we need another community organizer to really understand foreign affairs, or we will have to have a coup.

Don't recall the right talking about a coup against Obama. That is more for the banana republic types in the democrat party.

My, what a convenient memory you have:

Cato institute 'expert' warns of armed revolt over 'Obamacare': http://www.nowtheendbegins.com/exper...ma-govt-video/

Supposed report is attempt to instigate military mutiny: http://consciouslyenlightened.com/us...aeda-in-syria/

Pat Robertson says 'maybe we need a revolution:' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBfl4fiF534

Just the first three I found....

That's the Right's entire view of the meaning of the Second Amendment. They can't stop talking about it.
