Full Text Of Newsmax Column Suggesting Military Coup Against Obama
Here is the full text of John L. Perry's column on Newsmax which suggests
that a military coup to "resolve the Obama problem" is becoming more
possible and is not "unrealistic." Perry also writes that a coup, while
not "ideal," may be preferable to "Obama's radical ideal" -- and would
"restore and defend the Constitution." Newsmax has since removed the
column from its website.
Obama Risks a Domestic Military Intervention
By: John L. Perry
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. So, view the following through
military eyes:
# Officers swear to "support and defend the Constitution of the United
States against all enemies, foreign and domestic." Unlike enlisted
personnel, they do not swear to "obey the orders of the president of the
United States."
# Top military officers can see the Constitution they are sworn to defend
being trampled as American institutions and enterprises are nationalized.
# They can see that Americans are increasingly alarmed that this nation,
under President Barack Obama, may not even be recognizable as America by
the 2012 election, in which he will surely seek continuation in office.
# They can see that the economy -- ravaged by deficits, taxes,
unemployment, and impending inflation -- is financially reliant on foreign
lender governments.
# They can see this president waging undeclared war on the intelligence
community, without whose rigorous and independent functions the armed
services are rendered blind in an ever-more hostile world overseas and at
home.
# They can see the dismantling of defenses against missiles targeted at
this nation by avowed enemies, even as America's troop strength is allowed
to sag.
# They can see the horror of major warfare erupting simultaneously in two,
and possibly three, far-flung theaters before America can react in time.
# They can see the nation's safety and their own military establishments
and honor placed in jeopardy as never before.
So, if you are one of those observant military professionals, what do you
do?
Wait until this president bungles into losing the war in Afghanistan, and
Pakistan's arsenal of nuclear bombs falls into the hands of militant
Islam?
Wait until Israel is forced to launch air strikes on Iran's nuclear-bomb
plants, and the Middle East explodes, destabilizing or subjugating the
Free World?
What happens if the generals Obama sent to win the Afghan war are told by
this president (who now says, "I'm not interested in victory") that they
will be denied troops they must have to win? Do they follow orders they
cannot carry out, consistent with their oath of duty? Do they resign en
masse?
Or do they soldier on, hoping the 2010 congressional elections will
reverse the situation? Do they dare gamble the national survival on such
political whims?
Anyone who imagines that those thoughts are not weighing heavily on the
intellect and conscience of America's military leadership is lost in a
fool's fog.
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.
Military intervention is what Obama's exponentially accelerating agenda
for "fundamental change" toward a Marxist state is inviting upon America.
A coup is not an ideal option, but Obama's radical ideal is not acceptable
or reversible.
Unthinkable? Then think up an alternative, non-violent solution to the
Obama problem. Just don't shrug and say, "We can always worry about that
later."
In the 2008 election, that was the wistful, self-indulgent, indifferent
reliance on abnegation of personal responsibility that has sunk the nation
into this morass.
