How long before the coup?

Consider, Obama just won't listen to any critiicsm. He is wedded to Keynesian economics which have spectaculrly fainled in the US.

He wins and the economy will ultra-tank...and people will blame him and feel bitter for putting him back for 4 more years.

At some point, another run on the banks will occur and the US debt will finally crack with the US being unable to service its debt as no-one will be buying T-bills any more. Greece could live on economic lifesupport from Germany, but there is no-one capable of shoring up America.

As a tidal wave of economic breakdowns hit, overwhelming the US Government, how long before someone in the US military, reeling from heavy cuts by Obama in failed attempts to balance the budget, decides to pull the plug and pull a coup to overthrow Obama?

US Military is so large in ranks, it would be hard, if not impossible, to pull off.

I think when Obama kills one American civilian in the U.S with a drone, it will be all over for him and that is the pushing point.... but not until then.

You know that has already happened right? The majority in this country are still asleep and believe whatever the Feds and Media feed them, so stories like this one seem to go mostly unnoticed by the masses..

I believe it will never happen.

The US citizens will choose ESPN, FOX and Hot dog stands rather than taking to the streets to defend their rights.

One drone strike is nothing but 20 seconds of air time on the MSM with a slant towards a "Justifiable Kill" most likely painted as a terrorist attempt.

"Terrorist" is the Bogey Man term now and that's all the MSM has to mention. Then that innocent civilian is guilty within a day.

After that...Cappuccinos as usual.

Peace

Why be prepared for a single event/movement when you could prepare for a lifestyle and make it happen well before?

People are reverting to old ways, and preparing for some terrible event for when it comes. Alot of people *know* it's coming soon, and are preparing for it, but without experimenting/living it before it happens.

Take a week off. Make due with what you have for a week...ride out a week without everything yourself before it happens.

Tons of people are prepared for some event...tons of people are prepared for some event with absolutely no knowledge or know how thinking they have all they're bases covered. They would be in a worse off spot than you if they haven't given it a try beforehand.

When isn't exactly the important part. If a poster said that he/she knew for a fact it was 2 weeks away, what would you do? How would you one up the person who is ready now, and has been for a year? How would you do in comparison to them?

What happens if Romney wins and the economy still tanks? I think they are both screwed by claiming they can fix this mess. Soon the American people will realize the joke was on us. Then we will have mayhem unless American Idol is on.

Why do you think that the state of the economy rests solely in the president's hands? Do you have any idea why we're in this mess? Hint: it's not the president's actions, not Bush's or Obama's.

If you want someone to blame, blame our incompetent congress and supreme court who take bribes from corporate lobbyists to allow abuse of the free market; blame the entire govt for allowing crony capitalism, blame the dips***s who actually buy into Reagonomics, blame the citizenry for being blind to the people who are robbing them and their children of a future, but please don't scapegoat the president as if he or she can actually wave a wand and fix the economy. This economy will tank regardless of who becomes president, because the president can really only issue more GOVERNMENT JOBS; he can't force private companies to hire more people, and in fact doesn't have the balls to tell private companies anything because the corporations behind this collapsing economy are his bosses.

People are growing too lazy; the individual has always been the default job creator, but somewhere along the line people began to grow complacent in all of these awful day jobs and lost their entrepreneurial spirit. If you NEED to make money, you'll find ways. Trust me.

Of course, with the rise of welfare and government handouts, most people never actually feel a need to make money; the brain embraces mediocrity as long as it has a place to sleep and food to eat. This has always been the case, and always will be the case. Being an alpha in a competitive, social species is tough, man, and being a beta has its perks...

Reread his post, he said on American soil. It's really tragic that the American people care more about Dancing With the Stars than the murderous actions of their president, lol.

Okay, when a White America gets killed within the borders of the United States.

to fix the economy first you have to do away with the central banks control of our government. 2nd you have to support our money with tangibles. Like gold, silver, oil. etc///
In other words we need to start over........

Like the coup that was exacted on bush v2.0? 3 months to the minute after a certain patsy was executed?

They call it 911, and the OS is that israel can do what it pleases, but with added special, 'seize the crisis' emphasis. It didn't work out so good for the Constitution, now did it?

No thanks.

I'm certainly not suggesting a coup, but wonder how long before someone presses the "Go" button on it.

The only coup that's possible is grass roots. Or an act of God~one that everyone understands, nevermind your 'religious' bent. Anything else is instantly capitalized on, by rahm emanuel and his minions, and made worse. The media, you know...some persons actually believe what they say, because it's safer, not the truth.

Bottom line: The majority of Americans realize that through all the problems, we still have it better than most. There is no coup coming. Military coups rarely work out to the benefit of the citizens...

It happened under Ike. The CIA (1947 foot in the door), NSA and Joint Chiefs have been running everything ever since. Working quite well actually. Couple blunders and unforeseen circumstances but overall at least thermonuke exchanges will be unlikely.
