Right On The Right

Here's another story I am a bit late on because of lax weekend blogging. A liberal blogger over at The Huffington Post has taken to calling for military coups. He goes out of his way to try to make his argument seem reasonable, but the bottom line is, he's calling for a General to usurp the Constitution by attempting to relieve the President of his command:

General Pace - you have the power to fulfill your responsibility to protect the troops under your command. Indeed you have an obligation to do so.

You can relieve the President of his command.

Not of his Presidency. But of his military role as Commander-In-Chief.

You simply invoke the Uniform Code Of Military Justice.

Immediately, Conservatives answered his ridiculous plan, explaining the the UCMJ does not supercede the Constitution. Legal scholars and anyone that paid attention in History or Civics class, feel free to let out a collective "duh" at this point.

Captain Ed from Captain's Quarters has an interesting point about the liberal left and their apparent obsession with calling right-wingers nazis and fascists while being complete hypocrites:

The Left likes to talk about supposed fascism among conservatives, but the Huffington Post is literally calling for a military coup to reverse an election, not only an un-Constitutional act but also the kind of authoritarian rule they supposedly despise.

For some laughs, go read how the idiot attempts to defend his argument while ignoring the Constitution. He claims, over and over, that this would not be a military coup. A member of the military partially stealing power from the President? Sounds coupish to me.
