‘Overpasses for Obama’s Impeachment’ plans to go cross-country
Bizpac Review ^ | June 25,2013 | Cheryl Klimek

Posted on 06/30/2013 6:32:42 AM PDT by magna carta

Planning to sweep the country with a “patriot wave,” a movement called Overpasses for Obama’s Impeachment is looking to heat up July and August with overpass protests, according to the Examiner.

James Neighbors, the movement’s national coordinator and founder, has already set up a Facebook page and is preparing for demonstrations similar to the one held in California earlier this month.

Won't happen, if conservatives persue this they'll be toast in the media. They'll be painted with the "racist" brush , yet again, for opposing the "first black president."

What we need to do is start bombarding the GOP with calls and emails to stop Zer0's agenda from going any further. If he gets amnesty, the country is OVER.

In the infamous words of Hitlery “at this point what difference does it make”.

We the people have already been painted with the racist brush, we should not allow that to stop us exercising our constitutional rights, that is what they want, lets not give it to them for fear of words.

We are way past the point of making a statement to the Republican Establishment (GOPe).

They are making it PERFECTLY clear they care not what we have to say so go over their heads. The Lamestream Media will do what it will. I see this just as the situation that Admiral Farragut did when confronted at the commencement of the Battle of Mobile Bay.

On August 5, 1864, Farragut won a great victory in the Battle of Mobile Bay. Mobile was then the Confederacy’s last major port open on the Gulf of Mexico. The bay was heavily mined (tethered naval mines were known as torpedoes at the time). Farragut ordered his fleet to charge the bay. When the monitor USS Tecumseh struck a mine and sank, the others began to pull back.

Farragut could see the ships pulling back from his high perch, where he was lashed to the rigging of his flagship, the USS Hartford. “What’s the trouble?”, he shouted through a trumpet from the flagship to the USS Brooklyn. “Torpedoes!” was shouted back. “Damn the torpedoes!” said Farragut, “Four bells. Captain Drayton, go ahead! Jouett, full speed!

The bulk of the fleet succeeded in entering the bay. Farragut triumphed over the opposition of heavy batteries in Fort Morgan and Fort Gaines to defeat the squadron of Admiral Franklin Buchanan.

Patriot; Learn it, live it and quit your whining about the GOPe, they are dead to true patriots anyway. Screw ‘em!

There’s just no way the RINO’s would even consider impeaching the most impeachable presidential fake and farce in our history.

But let’s just assume it happened.

The ensuing race riots would make any Zimmerman acquittal riots look like a church social.

But then again, bring it on as it will happen some day anyway thanks to this thing we call president.

And Harry Reid will try and convict Obama?

This is a waste of time unless Republicans take the Senate...

Saul Alinsky’s 12 Rules

* RULE 1: “Power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have.” Power is derived from 2 main sources – money and people. “Have-Nots” must build power from flesh and blood. (These are two things of which there is a plentiful supply. Government and corporations always have a difficult time appealing to people, and usually do so almost exclusively with economic arguments.)

* RULE 2: “Never go outside the expertise of your people.” It results in confusion, fear and retreat. Feeling secure adds to the backbone of anyone. (Organizations under attack wonder why radicals don’t address the “real” issues. This is why. They avoid things with which they have no knowledge.)

* RULE 3: “Whenever possible, go outside the expertise of the enemy.” Look for ways to increase insecurity, anxiety and uncertainty. (This happens all the time. Watch how many organizations under attack are blind-sided by seemingly irrelevant arguments that they are then forced to address.)

* RULE 4: “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.” If the rule is that every letter gets a reply, send 30,000 letters. You can kill them with this because no one can possibly obey all of their own rules. (This is a serious rule. The besieged entity’s very credibility and reputation is at stake, because if activists catch it lying or not living up to its commitments, they can continue to chip away at the damage.)

* RULE 5: “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.” There is no defense. It’s irrational. It’s infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions. (Pretty crude, rude and mean, huh? They want to create anger and fear.)

* RULE 6: “A good tactic is one your people enjoy.” They’ll keep doing it without urging and come back to do more. They’re doing their thing, and will even suggest better ones. (Radical activists, in this sense, are no different that any other human being. We all avoid “un-fun” activities, and but we revel at and enjoy the ones that work and bring results.)

* RULE 7: “A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.” Don’t become old news. (Even radical activists get bored. So to keep them excited and involved, organizers are constantly coming up with new tactics.)

* RULE 8: “Keep the pressure on. Never let up.” Keep trying new things to keep the opposition off balance. As the opposition masters one approach, hit them from the flank with something new. (Attack, attack, attack from all sides, never giving the reeling organization a chance to rest, regroup, recover and re-strategize.)

* RULE 9: “The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.” Imagination and ego can dream up many more consequences than any activist. (Perception is reality. Large organizations always prepare a worst-case scenario, something that may be furthest from the activists’ minds. The upshot is that the organization will expend enormous time and energy, creating in its own collective mind the direst of conclusions. The possibilities can easily poison the mind and result in demoralization.)

* RULE 10: “If you push a negative hard enough, it will push through and become a positive.” Violence from the other side can win the public to your side because the public sympathizes with the underdog. (Unions used this tactic. Peaceful [albeit loud] demonstrations during the heyday of unions in the early to mid-20th Century incurred management’s wrath, often in the form of violence that eventually brought public sympathy to their side.)

* RULE 11: “The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.” Never let the enemy score points because you’re caught without a solution to the problem. (Old saw: If you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the problem. Activist organizations have an agenda, and their strategy is to hold a place at the table, to be given a forum to wield their power. So, they have to have a compromise solution.)

* RULE 12: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions. (This is cruel, but very effective. Direct, personalized criticism and ridicule works.)

and to once again answer the ‘impeachment’ thing that is what this thread is about, those GOP RINO’s you speak so poorly of(and rightly so!) will NOT ALLOW IMPEACHMENT.

Keep the pressure on. It doesn’t matter if they call us racists, bigots, homophobics, reactionists, or whatever demeaning term they come up with. We must not sit around whinning or saying we can do nothing. I’m in Red River County Texas.

The tactic is worthwhile, but the message is flawed. I think we should concentrate on attacking amnesty and Obamacare rather than calling for impeachment. There is no consensus for that at all in the Congress. It wouldn’t get 50 votes.
