TANCREDO: The case for impeachment
Washington Times ^ | July 22, 2010 | Tom Tancredo

Posted on 07/23/2010 11:37:49 AM PDT by dvan

Eleven years ago, like every citizen elected to serve in Congress or any person appointed to any federal position, I swore an oath to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic."

I've always thought it significant that the Founders included domestic enemies in that oath of office. They thought liberty was as much at risk from threats within our borders as from outside, and French political thinker and historian Alexis de Tocqueville agreed with that warning.

There is danger from all men. The only maxim of a free government ought to be to trust no man living with power to endanger the public liberty. - John Adams

Appropriate to the tragedy of a Barack Obama being in the White House that this was on Yahoo's main page today.

Obama IS as dangerous as Al-Qaeda..Tom Tancredo has guts to say it. It would be helpfull to get our heads out of the sand..

Obama has violated his oath of office over a lot more than immigration.. Impeachment is long over due.

Only a President can be impeached. BO/BS cannot be impeached since he is not a natural born citizen per the requirement in Article 2 Section 1 of the Constitution to be President. Instead, he should be tried for treason.

During the Clinton impeachment and trial, many liberals argued that impeachment was not intended for perjury and obstruction of justice arising from a personal sexual matter, but rather it was intended ONLY for dereliction and malfeasance in a president’s OFFICIAL duties.

Here, Tancredo makes that very case.

Trancredo was on Live with Megyn Kelly. I have decided that I don’t like her anymore. She was an absolute shrill and her attitude towards Trancredo was an embarrassment. I’ve noticed this from her on many occasions and I will not watch her anymore.

It is terrific to see someone standing up and being counted.

Tacredo was on Megyn Kelly’s show. I was embarassed for Kelly and her behaviour. She was no better than a Rachel Maddow today.

Obama deliberately, with malice aforethought, refused to protect our borders for personal political gain

GUILTY!

What really gets me is how Osama was BRAGGING that this was going to happen 9-10 years ago, that they were going to defeat soft American society by splitting it and causing economic disruption. Is there any way that the plot to put the usurper in the WH could have been underway even back then?

You're right. Tom was composed and would not go off topic, no matter how incredulous Kelly got.

I agree with Tom, also. The Obammunist is more dangerous to our Republic than Al-Qaeda, because he's the enemy within. When he said he was going to "fundamentally change" the country, it wasn't just standard political hyperbole...he meant it.

I sent Kelly the following email I’m certain she will never see.

Tom Tancredo RIGHT. YOU ARE DEAD WRONG!!
“How then shall we perform it?—At what point shall we expect the approach of danger? By what means shall we fortify against it?— Shall we expect some transatlantic military giant, to step the Ocean, and crush us at a blow? Never!—All the armies of Europe, Asia and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the earth (our own excepted) in their military chest; with a Buonaparte for a commander, could not by force, take a drink from the Ohio, or make a track on the Blue Ridge, in a trial of a thousand years.

“At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide.”
A. Lincoln, The Perpetuation of Our Political Institutions:
Address Before the Young Men’s Lyceum of Springfield, Illinois, January 27, 1838

One final bit of wisdom from one far wiser that you, my dear infobabe...

“A nation can survive its fools and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and he carries his banners openly against the city. But the traitor moves among those within the gates freely. His sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears no traitor; he speaks in the accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their garments and he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men.” Cicero, speech to the Roman Senate

I suggest you create a new segment for your program. Featuring you screaming your uninformed, muddle-headed, head-in-the-sand opinions at guests with whom you disagree, it could be called “KELLY’S KANGAROO KOURT.”

Congratulationss, you have joined the equally uninformed Shep Smith on my list of FOX talking heads I’ll no longer watch.

I’ve always believed that one of the greatest needs this country has is to legitimately impeach AND REMOVE a sitting president.

Rather than being a tragedy for our republic, it would strengthen it immensely.
