Tancredo: The Case For Impeachment (from 2010)
Washington Times ^ | July 22, 2011 | Tom Tancredo

Posted on 07/22/2011 4:33:42 AM PDT by Wpin

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.

In the immediate aftermath of the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, the greatest threat to our nation was clear - and foreign. While Islamic terrorism still represents the greatest external threat to America and American lives, the avowed program of the Obama regime has changed the picture in a fundamental way.

For the first time in American history, we have a man in the White House who consciously and brazenly disregards his oath of office to protect and defend the Constitution. That’s why I say the greatest threat to our Constitution, our safety and our liberties, is internal. Our president is an enemy of our Constitution, and, as such, he is a danger to our safety, our security and our personal freedoms.

From the article:

“Because of the power he wields over budgets, the judiciary, national defense and even health care, his regime and his program are not just about changing public policy in the conventional sense. When one considers the combination of his stop-at-nothing attitude, his contempt for limited government, his appointment of judges who want to create law rather than interpret it - all of these make this president today’s single greatest threat to the great experiment in freedom that is our republic.”

“Yes, Mr. Obama is a more serious threat to America than al Qaeda. We know that Osama bin Laden and followers want to kill us, but at least they are an outside force against whom we can offer our best defense. But when a dedicated enemy of the Constitution is working from the inside, we face a far more dangerous threat. Mr. Obama can accomplish with the stroke of his pen what bin Laden cannot accomplish with bombs and insurgents”

Wake up, America!

>Our president is an enemy of our Constitution, and, as such, he is a danger to our safety, our security and our personal freedoms.<

I've been saying "Impeach the *******" for months now. Every time I do, everyone always posts things like "It'll never pass the Senate."

THIS IS BESIDE THE POINT.

Formal Articles of Impeachment, written by the House, would get huge coverage; and it would be a huge embarrassment to the White House, Bozo personally and the Democrats. And among other things, it would be EXACTLY what this country needs right now -- an example of Republicans doing what is right -- for a change....

If EVER there were a president who qualified for Impeachment.... This one sure does. In fact, I dare say he is OVER-QUALIFIED for it.

If you don't mind political game playing that could just as easily backfire and fire up the democrat base.

Besides, if Tancredo was so worried about domestic enemies or had an ounce of actual courage, he would simply have written that Mr. Dunham needs to be removed from office for not having been eligible in the first place.
There is no need for an impeachment and all that's necessary is a frogmarch from the WH in full view of the American public.

America has unnecessarily endured years of hardship that it shouldn't have had to suffer through in the first place and Tancredo is as responsible for that suffering as every member of Congress.

I agree— And I suspect the Republicans will eventually get off their backside and file for IMPEACHMENT a little closer to the election season -when it would have the biggest impact on the American people. The Republicans KNOW there is no more chance of IMPEACHMENT succeeding than Cut Cap and Balance has passing in the Democratic Party controlled Senate. Probably IMPEACHMENT in the House would have about as much —even less success passing the House—than the IMPEACHMENT of that “unusually good LIAR” (Clinton) The 0 has done a lot -with help from the Communist Party USA (Democrat Party) and a people disengaged from politics.
Face it the Republican leadership trust the people Less than the decieving Democrats do. So IF they do find the juevos to IMPEACH I suspect it will come once th eeleciton seaosn begins to heat up-when there is NO chance of finishing the paperwork -but the threat will be there —much like was done to Richard Nixon.

BHO is also inelligible to be POTUS as with a non citizen father he is not a natural born citizen as the Constitution requires.

I beg to differ. Talk, talk, talk is all that will ever come of it; from Tancredo or anyone else. Actually, I think it would be a mistake, anyhow. Can you imagine the hell that would break loose if “the natives” thought THE ONE was being mistreated? Nope! The only way is to VOTE him out, IMHO.

Tom Tancredo, accused of being a “loose canon” but is one of a very few who will state the truth and fight for America.
