I agree completely...... But by the way things are going for these folks I predict this September 11 --- or sometime between now and then. I&#039;m sure they (whoever they are) are planning the next attack. I&#039;m sure it will make 9/11 look miniscule in comparison. 

I hope I&#039;m wrong.......</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;There will be another terrorist attack from the same people GW is working for -whoever THEY are. The more these criminals are backed into a corner the more likely they will attack again. Get ready people!

Comment by green&lt;/em&gt;

Yep, that&#039;s my belief too. Perhaps on September 11 2008, just in time to suspend the Presidential election due to such a national emergency.

Then people will understand why Bush made all these signing statements modifying laws regarding wiretapping, e-mail gathering, mail opening, detention of US citizens without legal representation and most of all, changes to the Posse Comitatus Act that will allow the Feds to commandeer the National Guard in case of a national emergency.

It&#039;s pretty freakin&#039; obvious that they they are setting the stage for some event which will trigger an all out nation wide martial law. I&#039;m just shocked that more people don&#039;t see the obvious. I think that most people, even those critical of Bush, are just plain in denial about it.

We shall see.</description>

		<description>I agree with the poster that mentioned 9/11 was a coup - and We the People have been under a sort of dictatorship ever since. We have been lolled and threatened into silence as we watch our once great nation die. There will be another terrorist attack from the same people GW is working for -whoever THEY are.  The more these criminals are backed into a corner the more likely they will attack again. Get ready people!</description>

		<description>Advocating the armed overthrow of the US Constitution is the definition of treason.  All you need are two witnesses to the same overt act.  And, it&#039;s a rightie.  Typical.</description>

		<description>Wow, this guy&#039;s implying Democracy in our country isn&#039;t working!!

What a blithering freaking spineless idiot!

He can&#039;t stand when things aren&#039;t going his way (primarily because they were misugided, ill conceived, poorly managed etc.)  by simply ignoring facts, denying even trying to listen to people who probably have much more knowledge than he does and refusing to even consider different viewpoints. Ouviously he&#039;s speaking with rhetoric, but still to even to say such things is simply idiotic.

Maybe he can recruit the wacko militias and other fringe right wing groups to rise to his &quot;cause. &quot;  Scarry indeed.</description>

		<description>Right now if there was a military coup I think it would be to get rid of the lawless traitors Bush and Chaney.  Wouldn&#039;t that be a hoot.  I wonder how the right wing talking heads would spin that.</description>

		<description>And this seditious bastard is allowed to live freely in this country? He should drop to his knees and thank every soldier who ever died in the name of our liberal Constitution! He should be made to visit every one of our wounded soldiers who have fought for our nation while he and his ilk have stolen elections, placed their ideologues in high office, dismantled our Constitution, and taken this country to an illegal and misguided war. He is not taking a political position, his is a position of hatred toward his fellow man and country. His is not a position of &quot;love it or leave it&quot;, but rather &quot;steal it&quot;. Put him on a plane to Iraq as a civilian so he can fight for whatever he thinks he believes in, and cancel his passport.</description>

		<description>I thank God all of you are here to post (except for dumbass Jake).  It&#039;s become part of my day to read your comments, learn and feel validated.  Sometimes I learn more from you guys than the actual story as there a some excellent links and follow-ups posted.

Somehow I got myself hooked on a local political website where MOST (95%) posters are Bush followers and complete whackos.  I&#039;ve tried to disengage myself but I just can&#039;t let them get away with copying and pasting stories from Matt Drudge as if they were fact.  However, they despise me as much as we hate Jake.  I&#039;m not rude, I just call them on their bs by posting links that prove stories like Matt Drudge&#039;s are complete crap.  

So, my point, thanks for making my day, you excellent liberals.  By the way, lets all meet up in those Halliburton concentration camps these people are building for us!!</description>

		<description>The far right is loosing its hold on power.  Wingers are going nuts.  They simply cannot accept that their white knight, George W. Bush, blew it, and that conservative Republicans in Congress are corrupt.  Watch them grow more and more crazy during the coming months.  By the war, isn&#039;t it still a crime to advocate the violent overthrow of the United States Constitution?</description>

		<description>Military coup???  What an insane idea.  Is that what Republicans want??? They are so hell bent on getting their way and ONLY their way that they would consider a military coup??? In the United States of America???  And how is this idea not worse than Reid&#039;s truthful statement that the war is lost?  Instead of working together with ALL the people in America the Repubs would consider a military coup??? 

oh yeah....they take the military road before anything else....there&#039;s no sitting down and negotiating with the Repubs.  There&#039;s no compromise with them.  

I think of all the things I&#039;ve read and heard and have been told this one is about the craziest of all....and totally out of line!</description>

		<description>#67 - You&#039;re right. I am more afraid of private armies than I am of terrorists.

Imagine if leftist extremists had training camps, weapons caches and received millions in funding to recruit warrior wannabes and disgruntled, underpaid soldiers from the active volunteer military.

You characterize the left as &quot;wimps&quot;; however, leftist governments are as capable of human rights violations as right wing governments have been.

Terrorists are only capable of small coordinated attacks killing relatively small groups of people.

Private armies with extremist ideologies are capable of genocide.

But, on the bright side, I still think trolls are funny with the &quot;Bush is saving your ass&quot; type comments.</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;And yet he has a point!&lt;/strong&gt;

To save America, we&#039;ve got to suspend elections, shut down the major media outlets, put every Republican official in the country under house arrest, and nationalize the news media--just for starters.

We&#039;ve then got to airlift the cool people out of Texas and herd the Republicans there.  The right can have their own country, where they will quickly die.  Only then will America be safe for our children.  All in all, a military coup might help with this.</description>

		<description>This article reminds me of when Larry King is a guest columnist for &lt;i&gt;The Onion&lt;/i&gt;:

&lt;blockquote&gt;The brown bananas taste very, very different.... Are you famous? If so, I love you!.... Where&#039;s my Bromo-Seltzer?.... There&#039;s nothing like breathable black dress socks on a sunny day.... Somehow I got all wet again.... If you look up marmosets in the dictionary, you&#039;ll find a picture of a small furry mammal.... Christ, my freakin&#039; head is spinning!.... What was I talking about again? Oh yeah.... Charles Kuralt has worn some of the finest sweaters known to man.... How in God&#039;s name did this M.A.S.H. show get cancelled?.... Those armchairs with the swing-out foot rests are a true godsend....&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Is wimpy Thomas Sowell so fearful of the world that he really thinks a coup is the answer? Does he piss his pants everytime he walks outside? First, right-wingers say we liberals are weak appeasers and then theyâ€™re scared to death of us. Poor faux-macho right-wing babies.

Comment by Willy&lt;/em&gt;

Yeah, this logic always amuses me. If you are so scared of terrorist attacks, that you are willing to give up your freedoms in exchanger for security, you are somehow supposed to be considered brave.

However, if you are willing to be the potential victim of a terrorist attack, in order to protect your freedoms, you are somehow considered a coward. Forget the fact that our &quot;War on Terror&quot; serves no good other than to breed more terrorist, make military contractors rich, and keeps these elite in power via fear.

Well, as illogical as all this BS is, the truth is, that the guys that are spouting out this garbage know damned well that it&#039;s utter BS. Their just doing the dirty work for the elite, both Republican and Democrats, that are destroying our country and our way of life.

Make no mistake about it. These characters are ultimately testing the waters and setting the stage for the US to become a dictatorship. And don&#039;t be fooled into thinking that &quot;it can&#039;t happen here&quot;. Like Franks said, we are only one terrorist event way from throwing out the constitution. I believe that he knows what he&#039;s talking about.

IMO, this will all come to ahead sometime next summer. I really suggest that you guys begin to prepare yourselves. It&#039;s going to get very ugly. Just read your history books for further proof.</description>

		<description>These reich wing scumbags like Sowell should be very careful what they wish for. For some reason, if a military coup happens, I just don&#039;t see the military going after democrats and liberals. The military knows who screwed them over for the past six years. And it&#039;s not the democrats.</description>
