This Is A Coup Against Our Right To Govern Ourselves

May, 18, 2017

The blizzard of lies and distraction blowing through Washington is not just any routine stuffstorm, but a calculated attempt to bring down a president – our president, not the establishment’s president. And more than that, it’s an attempt to ensure that we never again have the ability to disrupt the bipartisan D.C. cabal’s permanent supremacy by inserting a chief executive who refuses to kiss their collective Reid.

This is a coup against us. It’s a coordinated campaign by liberals and their allies in the bureaucracy and media to once and for all ensure their perpetual rule over us. We need to fight it, here and now, so we don’t have to fight it down at the bottom of this slippery slope.

Kurt Schlichter is a joke.

He spent months deriding Trump voters as ethically and morally degenerate until he decided to join them. He's just giving Trump the usual back alley behind the dumpster service.

The premise that there is a coup going on and a coordinated campaign by liberals and their allies in the bureaucracy and media to once and for all ensure their perpetual rule over us is definitely no joke. 

We damn well start fighting back or we will lose this country ... we are on the brink.

So..... the fact that he speaks the truth here (in this article) means nothing to you?  You would rather spin it in typical negative fashion into something nefarious?

Got it.

You are correct.

Anyone who has watched the "news" lately on the major networks or read the screaming headlines issuing forth daily from the NYT-WaPo Axis knows or ought to know that something both coordinated and unprecedented is happening.

And it ought to scare the hell out of you, because our culture is increasingly made of brittle and dry tinder, just waiting for a match.

I am no big fan of Donald Trump, as anyone here knows. The right reasons, the right time... but the wrong guy. His character and experience, or rather the lack of both have made him the perfect target for a Perfect Storm of Progressive bureaucrats, media mongers, institutionally-funded social justice warriors and congressional staffers, who are all working together to reverse the result of the 2016 election and stop the Republican agenda cold in its tracks.

And that, I am certain, is just for starters.

Does he have proof of just spouting BS without proof???

This isn't a coup, it is a reality TV show with characters and made up drama. The conspiracies, outrage, drama, romance, villians, and heroes are all molded to fit with a narriative.  This isn't 'against' the people, it is targeting what the people want, drama, to keep their eyes glued to the media providers who are running the show.  Like with most reality shows, none of the characters are who you want them to be, they are playing a role.

When we 'fight back' we have to start with ourselves and what we demand of our information, media, and even government. We want it to entertain us and solve our problems. We created this monster.

Exactly why we opposed Trump. We knew this would happen and now we're going to lose badly. The democrats couldn't have chosen a better political suicide bomber than Trump and the "republican agenda" has already been stopped in its tracks both through deliberate action and incompetence of Trump.

There is no hope of winning a fight for conservatism, constitutionalism or federalism with a man who doesn't care about them. We've already lost and at best we'll only lose a decade.

After Obama got elected twice, I'm no longer convinced the American people are capable of governing themselves.

Goeorge Soros is behind the scenes pulling strings.  Its a coup.   His goal, along with the other elites, is to implement a global socialist government.

Yup, I'll agree with you on that. Although I would add, Obama twice, and Trump once (so far).

I would quibble only with 'coup' as the entrenched are right now fighting to stay entrenched rather than to expand. They must first fight any move by Trump to reduce their power before seeking the next opportunity to expand that power.

But that's quibbling.

What should now be obvious is that there has been no 'Republican agenda.' What should now be obvious is that a President Cruz attempting reform would have been bulldozed like a Corrie.

It isn't really a coup because they KNOW that in the end it will all add up to a big nothing but it IS preventing swamp draining and THAT is the objective!

ANY republican elected this cycle would have been treated exactly the same! The left is completely out of power and thus desperate!  This a no holds barred war! Make no mistake about that!

If it's a coup it begs the question which side is Trump on?  His twitter feed is the liberal's greatest weapon.

@driftdriver


Prove it...

Prove what?   All of it is well documented and they've made public statements about it.

You have to break it before you can fix it.

It sounds to me like Schlichter is standing for the US Constitution and against a coup against a duly elected President.

Why do you resent this so much?   @Cripplecreek

What a ridiculous question.

One can make the argument is the enemy's arm's dealer. Kind of like those guys in Florida who were arming Iraqi insurgents under the guise of working for our own State Department.

The reality is the 'enemy' is centralized authortarian government and the left and right are playing the game together. They aren't battling against the people as though we are an opponent, we are the spoils of war they want. The game is being played like a reality TV show (or wrasslin match) and the battlefield is the media, who can get the most eyes on their story at any time and who can demand from their side a government champion.

Demanding a government champion (on either side) in this battle is like rooting for the wrassler you like on the WWE to beat the other guy for you... the point is completely missed that they are all characters.

Still wishing Hillary was elected I see. 

The author is exactly right, the uniparty elites funded by your pal George Soros are attempting to overturn the results of our election. If they succeed America as we know it is finished. We will join the global socialist government and we will be serfs in all but name. Just imagine one big Mexico with a tiny very wealthy ruling class, a small professional middle class that works for the ruling class and a huge impoverished lower class.
