Evangelical Pentagon Conspiracy...

Hey guys, check out My Latest posting at "Fundamentalist Deceit: An American Tradition". I read a few recent articles and collected some scary research. In short, the Pentagon and out Military Acadamies have been taken over by a cabal of Evanglical nut-jobs, who have been harrassing atheists, Jews, and women in the military. Read all about it!

why is the Pentagon the focus of so many conspiracies...

Because the pentagon has the military power needed to stage a coup.

Oh..? Really? Well, it is part of THE U.S. Military, and I would guess all nations militaries have the power to perform coups. But is that it? I thought it was because it looked like the Pentagram or something. If people think it's going to stage a coup, then they are way too paranoid. The Pentagon can't do anything right, especially a coup.

Traditionally, a coup needs (1) Military power, (2) Financial backing, (3) large sectors of the military who are more loyal to their leaders and their cause than to the country's constitution.

If enough rich conservatives back a coup, and enough soldiers are dumb enough to not realize why it's wrong, or question it, then it can work.

Well, yeah, that's pretty much what you need to do a coup. Thing is, the military doesn't seriously oppose the executive branch to launch a coup. Especially not since the two (stupid) presidental candidates we are getting certainly aren't going to pull out of Iraq. They both talk of confrontation with Iran, and how they are our enemy (I guess that happened while I was in a coma) and even talk of operations in Sudan! SUDAN! Holy shit...

>>>If enough rich conservatives back a coup,

Which they won't, since they will go against their interest. Again, both presidental candidates are supported and support rich conservatives.

>>>and enough soldiers are dumb enough to not realize why it's wrong, or question it, then it can work.

Well, coups aren't just a right-wing thing. A coup isn't just a military thing either. A coup can actually be good. But there won't be any business plot 2 in America, not in the immediate future.
