Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire 29% Would Support Military Coup to Oust Obama

n a poll taken by YouGov, 29% of Americans would support a military style coup to remove Obama from office. 41% say they could never support such a move. While the idea of a coup is in the minority, it is statistically significant. In your lifetime, can you honestly say anywhere near that number has ever been seen. The only time I can think of that a military coup being contemplated in the United States, was early in the 1800s and was for monetary gain and power, not an oppressive government.

But perhaps it’s not as surprising as one may think. The conditions today are not much different than they were in the 1770s. Basic freedoms were denied. Religious freedom under attack. Massive taxes. The government suppressing private property rights. (EPA, BLM, DOJ, NLRB, etc etc) People were pushed to the end of their endurance until they had no choice but to take up arms.

The poll revealed other factors that contributed to such a high number willing to have the military overthrow the government. Respondents trust military officers and believe they want what’s best for America by a large margin over members of Congress, 70% to 12%. Respondents say that members of congress are more worried about what’s good for themselves versus what’s good for the country by 71%. Local politicians did a little better registering 59%.

Civil servants were trusted by respondents by 37% and police officers were rated at 55%, which I think is inappropriately low.

From the Daily Caller:

Talk of a military coup in the U.S. recently prompted renewed discussion after a professor at West Point was recently forced to resign following revelations that he authored several controversial articles. In one of those articles, titled “Alea Iacta Est: The U.S. Coup of 2017,” he argued that military officers, far from simply having the right to overthrow the government, may have a duty to do so if the federal government acts against the best interests of the country.

The odds against the US ever having a military coup is 99.9999%, but the fact that so many are willing to have one should be a warning to liberals and establishment politicians alike, as well as the people who fund them.

So 71% of the people in this country have no balls.

Take care, Willie

Perhaps if a coup was proceeded by impeachment proceedings? Our constitution can't stand much more of this Muslim porch monkey's shenanigans.

Now you know why many of our best military leaders were either fired or forced into retirement. Only the yes men were allowed to keep their jobs. As far as 71 percent not having balls, I would have figured it would have been closer to 90 percent. it figures. I read that when we revolted against England, 10 percent took up arrms, 10 percent wanted to stay with the British and the other 80 percent sat on their fat asses and waited for the outcome. &1 Percent? Maybe that's actually an improvement such as it is.

The only difference now is back in 1770 the firearms were no where near as advance as todays,if citizens went to war with todays military's weapons there would be massive deathe involved of citizens. And yes 70% of todays citizens have 0 balls. So that being said it will never happen. This country is through, what once was a great nation has been seized by politicians, muslims and Obama's children. Get used to it it's only gonna get worse.

Why do we always miss out on the cool polls?

The United States of American is a land of "laws". A military or any other kind of "coup" is not considered a lawful act... at least not here in the USA.

Our Constitution has methods to handle a government which is not responsive or responsible to the People and is the ONLY method Americans believe in and would use in place of a coup.

If ANY significant number of the Americans involved themselves in a coup, they'd undoubtedly find the vast majority of Americans are law-abiding people... and the People would never allow, support and or participate in a coup.

I'm surprised at those who claim that Americans are weak and easily lead... and in being so, they don't LOVE America and what our beautiful Nation has stood for since 1776. ALL "true" Americans LOVE their Nation, but that "love" may or may not necessarily extend to American's "leaders".

I wonder if it is those who claim the majority of Americans have weak and have little courage are the ones who, themselves, are weak and have little courage.

Why do you think so many people from other nations all over the earth want to come to AMERICA??? Because it is a failing Nation???

No... they want to come here because the American People are still the strongest, most giving, most honest People on earth and never forget, America is made up of the AMERICAN PEOPLE... and what some of our elected officials or some government bureaucrats do or say are not necessarily what the People of America believe in, think, agree with or will tolerate for very long by any means!

About all I can say to those to "put down" America (and, thus, the American People) is... "Oh ye of little faith !!! Look around yourself... you're surrounded by a great People and you're just too ignorant to realize it!~!~!"

"The United States of American is a land of "laws". A military or any other kind of "coup" is not considered a lawful act... at least not here in the USA."

Actually, our military officers are sworn to uphold the Constitution. Our present POS is violating the Constitution at every turn, weakening our defenses and our economy and turning the rule of law on it's head. The coup would be hard to sell, but would not be illegal and would in fact be a matter of our military fulfilling its duty!

Yes, Americans do support the rule of law. And when you as a person are put in jeopardy by a criminal acting outside of the law, you are allowed to use force in self defense. When our nation and Constitution are put in jeopardy by a criminal acting outside of the law, and when all the institutions meant to combat that or to enforce the law are silent or a part of the criminal conspiracy, then we are allowed to act in defense of our nation and Constitution. That is the militia in the Second Amendment and that is why our military swears allegiance to the Constitution not to the POTUS.

Count me in the 29%. A coup is the last vestige of hope that any of our governmental institutions will enforce the law against our rogue government!

Think of it as "citizen's arrest" on an institutional scale.

There is only ONE factor. It's that they want SOMEONE ELSE to do it for them.

16 months and he's gone as it is.

But the people who elected him, TWICE, are still with us.

That's not he sort of thing a GREAT PEOPLE - to use another poster's phrase - would do even ONCE.

And... BTW..... in a true military coup, the citizenry sits it out.

You guys are just nuts...

i say go for it now and prove to the next one that we mean business.

This, and, who would replace him via coup?

It wouldn't be the muslim brotherhood. They got chitcanned in egypt too.

I was thinking that would be the 71% on some sort of handout.


But hey, you live there and would know your fellow countrymen better than I.

I'm afraid the POS is going to do a lot more damage in those remaining 16 months.

The time to get excited about "ousting" would have been about 4-5 years ago.

Of course it's never too late...
