Newsmax Scrubs ‘Military Coup’ Article

John Perry’s article is no longer available at Newsmax. Why was it published in the first place? is the better question. It still lives in The Google.

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.

There was never a doubt in my mind that this article would disappear, even as people started writing about it.

A citizen version was offered today on Rush Limbaugh’s show, between 2:15 – 2:45 p.m., by a mother of 7 children from the West Coast who was allowed to ramble on and on and on in a performance that makes Glenn Beck look calm, and Sarah Palin rational. She blathered on about what the Democrats are doing in Congress, her jumping off point the health care bill. Something about changing bills virtually, taking two bills and smacking them together to make one to cram down everyone’s throat, which was going to harm her children. Jumping off at one point to talk about getting a shot, because she might break her hip, and the Democrats won’t want her around after that. Her voice shook, sarcasm sometimes dripping from her voice, as her suffocating platitudes about her children clogged the radio waves. If I’d been Rush I’d have called the cops to her house. She sounded positively unhinged as she described a love for her country that didn’t include the reality that… um… WE won. Evidently, she’s waiting for a dictatorship, with Rush her dear leader.

Meanwhile, Republicans have the nerve to go after Allan Grayson for fire breathing rhetoric spoken on the House floor. Never mind their own history on that score.

All this bickering over what Democrats are TRYING to do, but still haven’t managed to accomplish. The talking continues on health care. Demanding settlements be frozen by Israel is now petering out to nothing. Obama continues to vamp on Afghanistan. Nothing on Gitmo, except that Obama won’t make the deadline he promised during the campaign.

Gore Vidal unloading about it all in an interview with the Guardian. I won’t begin to pick a snippet, because you’ve got to read it to believe it.

All this complaining about Pres. Obama and the Democrats. Imagine what will happen when Democrats actually quit talking and get something done.

They will actually get something done, right?
