Republican Dirty Tricks

Republicans Call For Military Coup to Overthrow Our Legally Elected President

Unable to accept the fact that despite their overwhelming propaganda efforts blanketing both television and radio, Democrat to Republican vote flipping programmed into right-wing owned electronic voting machines as well as classic Republican voter caging and voter purging tactics, normal Americans (non-Republicans) elected Barack Obama our first African-American President in a landslide last November.

Devoid of ideas that would actually benefit the majority of Americans, the Republicans Party ceaselessly brings deceptions and incessant complaints to the table of public discourse.

While our great country suffered under their rule,”The Party of No” willfully implemented a plethora of pro-corporate, anti-worker policies in an effort to turn the USA from the “Land of the Free” into “The United States of Serfs and Lords.”

Although Republicans were able to collapse the economy and enrich the Military Industrial Complex by miring us in endless wars, they were unable to completely execute their agenda due to our system of government which, ideally, is based on checks and balances and peaceful transitions of power.

As these philosophies are anathema to the Republican agenda, the Republican Party increasingly propagates hate and fear of our duly elected President in the hope that these veiled calls to action will activate their innately cowardly and willfully ignorant base and inspire the next Timothy McVeigh.

With their boney grip around the neck of power ever loosening, Republicans are increasingly more desperate and are turning up the heat on their violent rhetoric. The latest string of attacks against our government of We The People – a hard-won tradition our forefathers died for – is they are now actually calling for a military coup to overthrow the will of the people, proving once again that Republicans hate America.

America-hater John Perry wrote Tuesday on the CONservative website Newsmax that President Obama “is inviting” a military coup and that it might not be such a bad thing: “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.”

Not able to accept the outcome of a legitimate election, Perry said that the coup would be “civilized” and “bloodless,” and would consist of a “patriotic general” sitting down with the President and working out a new system in which “skilled, military-trained, nation-builders” would “do the serious business of governing and defending the nation” while Obama would still be allowed to make speeches.

Perry is not alone in his call for the overthrow of our elected government.  Drug addled Rush Limbaugh and the usual cast of divisive America-haters are increasingly preaching the rhetoric of violence and revolution.

This alarming trend is not the first time Republicans have toyed with a military coup in an attempt to put the uppity people back in their place.

In 1934, Marine Corps Brevet Medal winner and two-time winner of the Medal of Honor, General Smedley D. Butler, went to Congress and under oath informed them that he was approached by the prominent wealthy businessmen of that time to lead a coup d’état to overthrow President Franklin D. Roosevelt.

As in Perry’s modern scenario, Butler testified if the coup was successful, Roosevelt would have assumed a figurehead role, making speeches to appease and reassure the “dumb American people,” as one plotter put it.

Secretly financed and organized by leading officers of the Morgan and Du Pont empires, the plot was hatched in the Summer of 1933 after the richest people in America realized that FDRs New Deal would level the playing field in favor of the People and regulate business in an attempt to reign in the greed that caused the first Republican Great Depression.

After General Butler exposed the plot, newspapers owned by the plotters themselves went to work covering it up, with the help of their enablers in Congress who received massive contributions for the trouble of deleting many of their names from the public record.

So, as we see, what’s old is new. “Nothing much has changed” really should be the Republican motto as they consistently stand in the way of progress while We The People attempt to create “a more perfect union.”

History has shown that Republicans are not capable of operating in a society that attempts to make its system work for ALL the people and are quite willing to usurp our laws and system by any means necessary. Our job is not to let them.
