Best-selling author Ann Coulter was a guest yesterday on Boston’s popular Howie Carr radio show. Ms. Coulter, who is also an attorney, fielded the following question from one of Carr’s listeners:
I have a two-part question regarding the Constitution. What protects Americans from [President] Obama abrogating the U.S. Constitution, particularly the First and Second Amendment?
Ms. Coulter responded as follows:
Well the courts first of all, and if you know anyone in the military, as probably many Howie Carr listeners do, I keep telling my friends in the military no matter how bad it gets, no matter how much they force you to room with gays, no matter how much they stamp out any mention of religion in the military, you cannot leave the military for the next four years, because ultimately that’s what protects us.
Ms. Coulter was clearly implying that President Obama is exceeding or may eventually exceed his presidential authority to an unprecedented degree. Her statement is noteworthy. One may disagree with her political views, but she is an undeniably intelligent, well-informed, and influential voice in any political debate. Ms. Coulter is part of a growing chorus of Americans, who, justified or not, are expressing concerns that President Obama’ s aggressive agenda threatens the fundamental Constitutional and capitalist structure of the United States.
What do you think? Is Ann Coulter a partisan alarmist, or is the Obama Administration a potential threat to the Constitution and the country?

The current administration is blatantly tredding on the constitution. With the "dictatorial" style of the Executive Branch coupled with the total liberal control of Congress, all checks and balances have been removed. We are descending into Socialism at an alarming rate. The Executive Branch is methodically taking control of the economy of this country to the eventual ruin of the free enterprise system. the US as we have known it is in serious jeopardy.
The fact you only have two mutually exclusive choices for peoples opinion (coulter = hack) or (obama = socialist) sounds quite like propaganda. Learn not to be a partisan hack.
I wonder if the Administration, whom comes up with these "laws"
can be guilty of treason, if they
hurt the people of the U.S. and
furthermore, erode the freedoms
guaranteed by the Constitution.
Can they be tried and if found
guilty, be charged?
