Treason while wrapped in the flag is still treason.

Right-wing pundit John L. Perry (who, astoundingly, was a White House staffer under LBJ and Carter, if his online bio is to be believed) wrote an article essentially advocating the armed overthrow of Obama's administration, under the guise of a "restoration of the Constitution." He claimed he wasn't actually advocating a coup d'etat... much in the same way Goodhair Perry claimed he wasn't actually advocating secession when he said, "... if this keeps on, well, Texas has the right to secede, and we might have to exercise that option."

It took this- an article saying that a military takeover of the federal government was preferable to Obama's presidency- to get anyone on the right wing to say, "Now, that's too much." The site the article was written for, NewsMax, pulled the article and is currently trying to distance itself from John Perry.

Please see his entry to read his entire response to the article to which he links, and to participate in the discussion occurring there.

I know it sounds ridiculous, but you've got try what I'm doing, and just stop getting so infuriated with these assholes. Yes. They're assholes, and yes, they ought to have something large dropped on their heads. Repeatedly. But!

"... if this keeps on, well, Texas has the right to secede, and we might have to exercise that option."

Think of Canada, whenever Quebec threatens secession, and how they react... with a big grin and a wave of "BYE!!"

Oh, I will wave Bye! with a great big ol' smile and a side order of "Don't let the door hit you on the way out!"

What I firmly object to is the sober offer of coup and/or assassination.

I can't even think about Roman Pole-ass-kill without my head exploding; but this is a topic on which I can be sober and condemnatory.
