Gotta love these crackpots, and especially since Thomas Sowell is considered a conservative INTELLECTUAL.

So you can't exactly claim this guy is just a fringe nut. He's fairly popular and mainstream among conservatives. Wondering out loud whether America needs a military coup de tat because conservatives can't win elections.

Republicans are getting more pathetic.

1. Military coup de tat? Is that what they plan on doing to stay in power?

For bu$h that would be Millertary coup.

2. Might need a military coup d'etat to take out this administration, but probably won't happen.

3. That's treason....

There should be, under the Bush Gove, a nice little hovel down in GitMo for that fucker...

8. I'm sure the Hannity/Malkin/Coulter "Free to Hate" club will be along momentarily to denounce him

and keep denouncing him until he is arrested and convicted...

4. Just wait until President Hillary gets to use the Patriot Act

These Republic conservatives will suddently "discover" the importance of civil liberties.

5. "A conservative intellectual?" Now that's funny

sowell is a fucking constitution hating douche bag who does not deserve his citizenship. And being the typical conservative intellectual he will allow someone else to do the heavy lifting relative to a military takeover of the country. Sad fucking human being. Has no idea how lucky he is to live in the land of the free provided to him by liberals.

6. I guess representative government is a problem when you can't get your way. Time, then, for

the Generalissimos. :eyes:

7. Sowell is a paranoid who sees the world only through red tinged glasses. He's just one

more old, cranky, moderately intelligent writer who wishes he'd done more with his life than be a yes man for politicians who didn't deserve it...

9. That is not LOL. They tried it when FDR was elected.

I wouldn't put it too far past them to try it if someone like John Edwards got elected.

10. By the time Bush is done with our military...

they'll be lucky if they could whip Nicole Ritchey in an arm wrestling match.

11. Don't simply disregard this rhetoric.

It is just another form of the eliminationist rhetoric that David Neiwart writes about so intelligently, on his blog called "Orcinus". Also, there is quite a number of people who line up on the right, who openly call people like is "commies", "defeat-o-crats" and lots of other names. They want us out of "their" country and some of them openly allude to the desires or fantasies about getting their guns after us.

Pay attention, for these are not the most stable of our citizens. It is hardly a stretch to think that eventually, one of them will act upon their fantasies. One, or more.
