Washington Times: Impeach Obama

[GoldenRivet]

In an "opinion piece" that received authorization and approval from the Washington Times "top brass", which subsequently went to print and circulation in one of the top ten news papers in the United States (and even finds its way into the inbox of every sitting senator and congressman in DC)... contributor and columnist Jeffery T. Kuhner made a case for impeachment of the Mr. Obama.

President Obama has engaged in numerous high crimes and misdemeanors. The Democratic majority in Congress is in peril as Americans reject his agenda. Yet more must be done: Mr. Obama should be impeached.

He is slowly - piece by painful piece - erecting a socialist dictatorship. We are not there - yet. But he is putting America on that dangerous path. He is undermining our constitutional system of checks and balances; subverting democratic procedures and the rule of law; presiding over a corrupt, gangster regime; and assaulting the very pillars of traditional capitalism. Like Venezuela's leftist strongman, Hugo Chavez, Mr. Obama is bent on imposing a revolution from above - one that is polarizing America along racial, political and ideological lines. Mr. Obama is the most divisive president since Richard Nixon. His policies are Balkanizing the country. It's time for him to go.


He has abused his office and violated his oath to uphold the Constitution. His health care overhaul was rammed through Congress. It was - and remains - opposed by a majority of the people. It could only be passed through bribery and political intimidation. The Louisiana Purchase, the Cornhusker Kickback, the $5 billion Medicaid set-aside for Florida Sen. Bill Nelson - taxpayer money was used as a virtual slush fund to buy swing votes. Moreover, the law is blatantly unconstitutional: The federal government does not have the right to coerce every citizen to purchase a good or service. This is not in the Constitution, and it represents an unprecedented expansion of power.


Yet Obamacare's most pernicious aspect is its federal funding of abortion. Pro-lifers are now compelled to have their tax dollars used to subsidize insurance plans that allow for the murder of unborn children. This is more than state-sanctioned infanticide. It violates the conscience rights of religious citizens. Traditionalists - evangelicals, Catholics, Baptists, Muslims, Orthodox Jews - have been made complicit in an abomination that goes against their deepest religious values. As the law is implemented (as in Pennsylvania) the consequences of the abortion provisions will become increasingly apparent. The result will be a cultural civil war. Pro-lifers will become deeply alienated from society; among many, a secession of the heart is taking place.


Mr. Obama is waging a frontal assault on property rights. The BP oil spill is a case in point. BP clearly is responsible for the spill and its massive economic and environmental damage to the Gulf. There is a legal process for claims to be adjudicated, but Mr. Obama has behaved more like Mr. Chavez or Russia's Vladimir Putin: He has bullied BP into setting up a $20 billion compensation fund administered by an Obama appointee. In other words, the assets of a private company are to be raided to serve a political agenda. Billions will be dispensed arbitrarily in compensation to oil-spill victims - much of it to Democratic constituents. This is cronyism and creeping authoritarianism.


Mr. Obama's multicultural socialism seeks to eradicate traditional America. He has created a command-and-control health care system. He has essentially nationalized the big banks, the financial sector, the automakers and the student loan industry. He next wants to pass "cap-and-trade," which would bring industry and manufacturing under the heel of big government. The state is intervening in every aspect of American life - beyond its constitutionally delegated bounds. Under Mr. Obama, the Constitution has become a meaningless scrap of paper.


To provide the shock troops for his socialist takeover, Mr. Obama calls for "comprehensive immigration reform" - granting amnesty to 12 million to 20 million illegal aliens. This would forge a permanent Democratic electoral majority. It would sound the death knell for our national sovereignty. Amnesty rewards lawlessness and criminal behavior; it signifies the surrender of our porous southern border to a massive illegal invasion. It means the death of American nationhood. We will no longer be a country, but the colony of a global socialist empire.


Rather than defending our homeland, Mr. Obama's Justice Department has sued Arizona for its immigration law. He is siding with criminals against his fellow Americans. His actions desecrate his constitutional oath to protect U.S. citizens from enemies foreign and domestic. He is thus encouraging more illegal immigration as Washington refuses to protect our borders. Mr. Obama's decision on this case is treasonous.


As president, he is supposed to respect the rule of law. Instead, his administration has dropped charges of voter intimidation against members of the New Black Panther Party. This was done even though their menacing behavior was caught on tape: men in military garb brandishing clubs and threatening whites at a polling site. A Justice Department lawyer intimately involved in the case, J. Christian Adams, resigned in protest. Mr. Adams says that under Mr. Obama, there is a new policy: Cases involving black defendants and white victims - no matter how much they cry for justice - are not to be prosecuted. This is more than institutionalized racism. It is an abrogation of civil rights laws. The Justice Department's behavior is illegal. It poses a direct threat to the integrity of our democracy and the sanctity of our electoral process.


Corruption in the administration is rampant. Washington no longer has a government; rather, it has a gangster regime. The Chicago way has become the Washington way. Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel is a political hit man. He is an amoral, ruthless operator. It was Mr. Emanuel who reached out to Rep. Joe Sestak, Pennsylvania Democrat, offering a high-ranking job in the hopes of persuading Mr. Sestak to pull out of the primary against Sen. Arlen Specter. It was Mr. Emanuel who offered another government position to Andrew Romanoff to do the same in the Colorado Democratic Senate primary. And it was Mr. Emanuel - as the trial of former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich has revealed - who acted as the go-between to try to have Valerie Jarrett parachuted into Mr. Obama's former Senate seat. The only question was: What did Mr. Blagojevich want in exchange?


This is not simply sleazy Chicago machine politics. It is the systematic breaking of the law - bribery, attempt to interfere (and manipulate) elections using taxpayer-funded jobs, influence peddling and abuse of power.


The common misperception on the right is that Mr. Obama is another Jimmy Carter: an incompetent liberal whose presidency is being reduced to rubble under the onslaught of repeated failures. The very opposite, however, is true. He is the most consequential president in our lifetime, transforming America into something our Founding Fathers would find not only unrecognizable, but repugnant. Like all radical revolutionaries, he is consumed by the pursuit of power - attaining it, wielding it and maximizing it. Mr. Obama's fledgling thug state must be stopped.


If Republicans win back Congress in November, they should - and likely will - launch formal investigations into this criminal, scandal-ridden administration. Rep. Darrell Issa, California Republican and ranking member of the Oversight and Government Reform Committee, has promised as much. Mr. Obama has betrayed the American people. Impeachment is the only answer. This usurper must fall.

while purely politically motivated since only congress can impeach him but it is based in truth since everything i read there is accurate even if some wish to justify it with the "its for the greater good" excuse


it would be nice if a process to have a recall referendom was possible but AFAIK Congress and the president of the United States is exempt from such a process

oh, i'm sorry, is this something we are supposed to take seriously...

[Bubblehead1980]

Great read, absolutely true and he should be impeached and imprisoned.Sucks how many people see what is going on as the usual politics, it's much more than that, he is dangerous.Lets just hope he does not get a second term because I fear that is when the gloves will come off and he will really push his agenda.

oh, i'm sorry, is this something we are supposed to take seriously...

Come on give them enough chance to gather and tie the rope round their own neck before you launch into the ridicule.

If Impeachment was off the table for Bush after waterboarding. Obama is off the hook.

Oh get real.Waterboarding is not torture and it's worked according to many reports.The Library Tower plot comes to mind and I know the Liberal BS that tries to spin that story so save it.

Bush was by no means my favorite President but you are way off base comparing GWB to BHO.

BHO is far more dangerous than Bush could ever be, sad thing is it's happened in a very public way and Liberals refuse to see it, although according to polls most in the country are now wise to whats going on.

This topic........ I'm reminded of the childhood story of the Boy who cried wolf. He cried wolf so many times, after while, nobody beleived him anymore.

Same thing here. So much vitriol and rhetoric is spewed forth these days, its hard to take ANYTHING hardliner republicans say seriously anymore. And really, that's all this is. More blowhard rhetoric from another right wing extremist.

Will the real voice of reason please stand up? Cause this ain't it.

[GoldenRivet]

@ Bildge Rat

while i agree that the paragraph you have referenced makes some pretty radical comparisons... the rest of the article is full on truth man.

just read it.

many of the right wing folks made the mistake of blindly following Bush... dont make the same mistake of blind loyalty to BHO.

Have you ever been waterboarded? Have you ever seen someone waterboarded? Have you ever been tortured? Have you ever tortured anyone?

If all those are true, then how do you know it's not torture? Because you like the people who say it's not torture and don't like those who do?

And when I cut your throat then that is no murder. It may even work, so - lean your head back!

i am not debating torture yes/no here. just wanting to say that administering simulated agony and provoking according physical reflexes and reactions by the body [violent, brutal, harsh, spasmic reactions, btw.) sure as hell is torture not different to beating, cutting limbs of and electroshocks. If you do not believe me, ask some friends to press your head under water until you almost fade out. You will be amazed what your body will give you in sensations and agony. If you are male, you might even get an erection. That'S why some people consider waterboarding to ba a gay practice.

Waterboarding just lacks the splatter fx, it just is a cup of water spilled in your face, isn't it, it even is not much water, and that's why simple minds consider it to be harmless and tame. If it would be tame, I wonder why there can be reports then claiming that it is "effective". Did the subject suddenly discover it's sense of humour and decided to cooperate before it laughs itself to death?

Something like this. What is sauce for the goose must be sauce for the gander, too.

And this is a Texan's answer to this article

" ... TexasJack says:
9 hours, 8 minutes ago


" ... My evangilical friends see Brock Obama as the third coming of the anti-Christ prophesized in the Bible. Meanwhile some of us caught in the expanse of our societal downward spiral see President-44 as the leader of a nat'l socialist movement reminescent of that that brought the world to war in 1939.
Reading ''Dreams of My Father'' autobiography of Mr. O resurrects the same emotions of Heir H's ''Mein Kampf'' where both men pursue a blame game on others. In Adolf's time, it was the Jews who got blamed for everything wrong in Germany. It Brock's time, a day does not go by without him spewing his BIOB (blame it on bush) mentality. Like AH, BO is a divider not a uniter. Our nation needs a leader who will bring the nation under a common goal -- bring it out of the great recession, make is prosperous again. Where that leader will come from is still unknown but one thing is certain, it's not going to happen under Brock Hussein Obama. ..."


OMG i am really happy that those religious weirdos packed and left back then for the to-become US, beginning with the "Mayflower".

What the US right wing-Nazi-KKK-NRA-locust capitalist press needs is a direct slap in the face, for de-stabilizing the country and mess around with the elected President of the United States.
Or take the southern states, re-institute slavery, build a high wall around it and make them elect their own president Jefferson re-incarnation. But please leave the rest of the world alone with this utter bullsh!t. I will gladly give them Bavaria, our politicians and lobbyists as a free giveaway
