You knew it was going to happen eventually. With the Governor of Texas suggesting secession is a reasonable option for his state, it was only a matter of time.
Yesterday a "news" web site very popular with right-wing wacko "Christians", called Newsmax, ran a piece that nearly begged for a military coup:
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?When the article began to get some uncomfortable attention, it was removed from the site. But Talking Points Memo has the full text here.
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.

Did he really suggest a coup to "restore and defend the Constitution"? A coup that would oust a president who was elected according to the procedures laid out by the very same constitution?
The people who fall for this sort of reasoning are the same ones warning the government to keep its hands off their Medicare! Oy.
