Is the US Government pro Dictatorship?

But he wasn't a popular president with the legislature, Supreme Court or military, so they said screw due process and got rid of him.

I think this is the major disagreement.

In this case, due process is going to the Supreme Court and letting them decide what is legal. He did that, and they said what he was trying to do was against the law. He then just did it anyway.

Due Process would dictate that he went through the system of government until it was considered legal.

I was under the impression the Supreme Court declared one referendum illegal and he ended up modifying it to be almost exactly the same but legal?  In any case, his goal was too give the people the right to choose whether he could run for president again.  Even if they had chosen yes, he had approval rates of something like 38%, and wouldn't have been voted in again.

One person failing to observe due process in it's entirety (if that is, in fact, what he did) doesn't mean a military coup should occur.  At the end of the day the President wanted to give the people the right too choose, but the military and new (coup-making) government tossed out a President the people voted for.

Not sure I would call it a coup. The Supreme Court ruled on it, and then the justice department issued a warrant for his arrest. The only group that is capable of executing that order, is the military.

I mean, let's say he was found to be stealing from the people, or doing something else that mandated is immediate removal that you agree with. How else would you go about it? 

I don't think there is any other way. I think all we are arguing about is if this action warranted it. Not how it was done.
