          <br \/>Wait until this president bungles into losing the war in Afghanistan, and Pakistan\u2019s arsenal of nuclear bombs falls into the hands of militant Islam?           <br \/>Wait until Israel is forced to launch air strikes on Iran\u2019s nuclear-bomb plants, and the Middle East explodes, destabilizing or subjugating the Free World?&#8230;<\/font> <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Hat-Tip: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.talkingpointsmemo.com\/archives\/2009\/09\/going_there.php\" target=\"_blank\">TPM<\/a><\/p>\n<p>What we have here is a call for this author, hiding behind the claim not to officially \u201cadvocate\u201d it, is a call for the military to overthrow the government of the United States.&#160; This is what is going on behind the civility of GOP Senators.&#160; These are the depths to which the party of Lincoln has fallen.&#160; How do you spell T-R-E-A-S-O-N?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You\u2019re not going to believe this.&#160; I ran across this Newsmax article that shocked me to my core.&#160; I will not link to that vile propaganda mill, but if you want to read it yourself, follow the hat-tip to find a link there.&#160; In fairness, I have to say that the author said he wasn\u2019t <a href='https:\/\/www.politicsplus.org\/blog\/2009\/09\/29\/reich-wing-coup\/' class='excerpt-more'>[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-80","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-politics","category-5-id","post-seq-1","post-parity-odd","meta-position-corners","fix"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.politicsplus.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.politicsplus.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.politicsplus.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.politicsplus.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.politicsplus.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=80"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.politicsplus.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.politicsplus.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=80"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.politicsplus.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=80"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.politicsplus.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=80"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
