I read the article. Tim, we live in a country where there is now a legal basis for the President to declare martial law for any reason. Where at least one of the military academies has been essentially taken over by right wing fundamentalists. Where one of the two major parties has been openly talking about engineering a permanent majority. Where the Whitehouse is asserting direct control over the Department of Justice and there is direct evidence that they have replaced US attorney's who didn't pursue bogus accusations against members of the opposite party. Conservative talking points are picked up, uncritically, by the media in their efforts to be "balanced". Fox is owned, body and soul, by them. And here is a guy who thinks things are so rough for the conservatives that a military coup might be the solution. So yeah, I think it is fair to question his judgment.

“Global warming” seems to be joining “diversity,” “gun control,” “open space,” and a growing list of other subjects where rational discussion has become impossible — and where you are considered a bad person even for wanting to discuss it rationally. Rationally? When did the right ever discuss any of those issues rationally? Here you all are complaining that we don't treat you very nicely. Yet, you ignore all the bad treatment you dished out for more then ten years. When I see the worsening degeneracy in our politicians, our media, our educators, and our intelligentsia, I can’t help wondering if the day may yet come when the only thing that can save this country is a military coup. Now we get to the heart of the matter. How dare this dufus make such a statement? Coming from the current crop of righties not only is it disgusting but downright frightening. Keep it up.....you guys will get your civil war yet.
