Some Freepers see Honduran coup as model for U.S.
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2290128/posts

"Does the Military in the USofA have the same ability and willingness to save the US Constitution from a Usurper?"

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

'When you understand what OBAMA is trying to do, you'll see that it's going to be necessary for America to take out the trash just like Honduras did. Will it be America's military OR will Americans get the chance at the voting booth?
“Acorn and the other anti-American efforts by the fraud from Kenya may mean WE THE PEOPLE will have to step up."
---------------------
"It can’t happen here........but it should..............."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2289521/posts

“One day it will be necessary for America to take out the trash. If the FRAUD from Kenya has his way, American elections will become the same fraud as they were in Iran. America's military will then be our best hope but it may be necessary for WE THE PEOPLE (again) to step up like the world hasn't seen in hundreds of years. “
-----------------
“Too bad our courts and military aren’t as protective of our Constitution as the Hondurans are of theirs.”

1. Then we too would be a military state. With the military appointing "democratic" leaders.
Freepers want authoritarian rule.

The funny thing is, if they got it I don't think they'd end up liking it. But it would be too late.

2. Hope Agent Mike is watching those freeper threads.
They're talking about the overthrow of the US Government. I don't think the Secret Service looks to kindly upon that.

6. I really disliked Bush...
... and, to this day, I question Bush's legitimacy, given the way the 2000 and 2004 elections went down. But I never would have thought about rooting for a military coup to depose Bush. That's crazy talk.

11. I would have loved a military coup to get rid of Bush.
Bush's people stole the 2000 election and rigged the 2004. He lied and brought us to war in Iraq.

I don't understand why freepers hate Obama so much. We're still fighting Muslims in the Middle East and we're still bailing out Corporate America.

14. Pssst....didn't ya hear? Obama is B_L_A_C_K!!
That is a freepers greatest fear...they can't take a breath, they can't enjoy their life, they can't do anything because they are afraid of their own shadows.

That's why they were willing to give up all of their freedoms to a Republican President because they think that the Repugs in WA really care about them. Man I hate to be around when they figure out that the WA repugs laugh at their lemming followers behind closed doors.....and the Repugs in WA laugh at the religious right because they have used them as pawns....oh well....

15. Yowza! I despised Bush** and his wiping his ass with the
Constitution and the Bill of Rights but I never wanted a military coup in this country to be rid of him. I'm mad as hell that the democrats aren't eager to hold him and his misadministration responsible for what they did. I keep thinking about another wannabe tyrant down the road who will think that he/she can get away with even more because these (many major expletives) are currently being given a pass for their behavior.

The fact that the freepers and the teabaggers weren't angered back then just affirms my thinking that they're damned idiotic frauds, and I'm surrounded by these fucknuts and I tell them what I think about their non caring before. It usually shuts them up rather quickly, but I don't think that military coups are the way to go. YMMV

5. I'm sure our military
that is filled with ethnic and racial minorities will rise up and take over the government for these racist, white morans.

Give me a break.

7. There would be a civil war in the US if the military ousted Obama.
They like to think they speak for all Americans, but such an action would simply split the nation into two factions.

8. Oh, goody! The military can oust Obama and appoint Sarah Palin!
/freeper mode off

They keep on giving reasons for the authorities to monitor their site. You have to be crazy to talk about military coups.

9. The RW has been moving closer and closer
to outright fascism over the last few years. How long until they just drop the pretense of democracy and make a play for open dictatorship?

10. But remember, Freepers are true patriots. At least they are when Republicans control the government
What a bunch of losers.

I feel kinda bad for em since they can't honestly see their own hypocrisy concerning patriotism and obeying the Constitution.

13. They can't come to terms that they lost fair and square
We lost fair and square in 2004 (not 2000). The public was stupid to re-elect bush, but they did it. Just the same with Obama.

16. What is it with the right and their military fetish????
I suppose the people at FR would still be shouting "support the troops" even as they storm through their house, shooting their dog and cat in the process. This is just downright creepy.

18. To answer the first moran's question: no.
The U.S. military didn't stop the usurper in 2000.

20. This is open treason... and these guys need to be on DHS's watch list
As much as we hated Bush, we never talked of violent overthrow. We used the ballot box.

These folks are traitors to America, and need to be treated as such.

21. The only problem is that our military works directly for the president.
It's a bit more difficult to stage a coup when the Generals answer directly to Obama.
