Incidentally, do you know of any political sites where the comment sections aren't just a partisan battleground?  I gave up looking last year and now I just ignore the comments almost entirely.

I've always like http://www.fark.com/politics/ The headlines are incindary but the comment section is good. They lean a little left of center and have their share of trolls but mostly it is pretty intelligent stuff. There's an odd amount of lawyers on there for some reason.

Good call - I actually made it half way through their comments on this story - seeing a poster call themselves Diogenes was a bit rich ;-)  But I'll definitely be back, thanks for the link.

Incidentally, this is Olbermanns #2 story tonight.. should be entertaining at least.

Where did I claim Heinlein was a social scientist?  Nowhere.  Stop making shit up just because I know your favourite author knows fuck all about the topic in question and has no place in a discussion about it.

I would make a more in depth reply, but I think you were reading someone elses reply or something.  Never said he was a fave author.  but hey man, rant on, no worries here. :D

Jesus Christ! This shit is ridiculous, if anyone attempts any sort of military coup/assassination horseshit I'm going after them myself. This administration is very far from perfect but it's doing a lot of stuff Obama promised they'd do and I'll be damned if I let some radical shitheads fuck it up. Not even joking, I will literally take up arms to defend Washington (and I don't even like Washington).

Not if he takes your right to bear arms away from you.  Of course if he was no longer in power I guess that wouldn't matter.

On the other hand, if it could happen then we already have a potential map of how things could be.  Just read Starship Troopers by Robert Heinlein.

I have, several times, there was no goddamned military coup in that.  There was a world war three and a new government built from scratch.

I always felt that it was implied that the veterans from the war took over the government because of how everything was mismanaged.  But you are correct, it never specifically mentioned a coup.

Thing is I started feeling like the government had read it and gotten the message that veterans would overthrow them when the Dept. of Homeland security issued that memo of theirs.  I still do not see that our military would launch a coup, though I could see them refuse orders to shoot civilians.  The Vets that I work with all seem to think that our guys and gals would refuse such an order.

They've never refused to shoot civilians before.  We probably shouldn't have told the military about the Milligram experiments, gave em too many ideas.

Sik bump, I somehow completely missed this story the first time through.

The irony is staggering.  The argument is that Obama is a socialist/fascist/tyrant/foreigner take your pick who is destroying the constitution.  So the best way to restore the constitution is to override the popularly elected gov't with a military coup?  The only way that freedom can be protected and fascism averted is for the generals to rule?   :?

Anyhoo I think we can take them.

Some guy in my area just got jailed for his yahoo chat comments on killing Obama back in October of last year.  *goes to find the story*  He got time served and the halfway house/probation.

Apparently, he was drunk at the time, but fr rls...maybe the harsh way guys like him were treated might deter some of the Fux News gang from inciting this kind of shit? 

No, I doubt it, too, but still.
