First Comes Honor
American Thinker ^ | February 5, 2013 | Steve McCann

Posted on 02/05/2013 2:45:17 PM PST by Flotsam_Jetsome

Whether in the various state capitols or the once hallowed halls of Congress or the now tarnished grandeur of the White House, the acquisition and retention of political power by any means necessary, and the attendant access to ever larger sums of money, either borrowed, created out of whole cloth or coerced from the taxpayers, has become firmly entrenched in the nation's political psyche. Party identity notwithstanding, in order to achieve this end, nothing is beyond the pale -- be it fraud, corruption, outright lies, or immorality.

No one person on the American landscape today more epitomizes this descent into dishonor than Barack Obama. His earliest days in politics were marked with unethical and oftentimes dishonest tactics in eliminating his opposition. He has revealed an untroubled willingness to prevaricate and make up so-called facts to suit his personal agenda. He has proven himself to be untrustworthy and a man whose word is meaningless. His narcissism knows no bounds as he oversees the premeditated decline of the United States concurrent with seeking to transform the nation into his vision of a socialist state. All the while exploiting his skin color as he calculatingly divides Americans into groups which he coldly and with forethought pits against each other.

I simply cannot conceive of a life without honor. How do these people look at themselves in the mirror, and sleep at night? Are they truly without conscience?

Yes. There is nothing you can say or do that will shame them. They have, literally if not actually, sold their souls to the devil.

The only things that they fear is mockery and disrespect. I try to do both every day.

Good advice. Now if only there were more people in the media and government who would follow it, "Obama"'s narcissism in the face of such would cause him to have a complete emotional meltdown on live television and the pack of lies that is his pResidency would be exposed for all to see.

Look up “amoral.” There’s your answer. How do we reclaim what once was? “They” have the Senate, the Executive, and the main stream media. I see this as a stacked deck. What do we have to do to right the ship? Two billion rounds of hollowpoint ammo purchased by Homeland Security?? What do we do to countervail? Impeach, I say. Impeach! Just sayin’. sd

Do you think that we could get all the Republican Senators plus 22 Democrats in the Senate to vote to remove Obama via impeachment?

Impeachment is not the answer. That would lend status and credence to the vile activities perpetrated by the current person installed as potus.

The only answer is arrest and perp-walk for fraud. This can be accomplished by any county Sheriff of any state in the union.

Anything less will not wipe away the massive destruction perpetrated on our country and our way of life.

An arrest is unlikely to happen. If there was a threat of an arrest, Obama would resign, Biden would become President and the new president would pardon Obama for any and all crimes that he may have committed, just as President Ford pardoned President Nixon. The historical precedent has been established and any federal charge is unlikely to be pursued by Obama’s own Justice Department run by Attorney General Eric Holder.
However, on the bright side, I do believe that just a criminal indictment by a grand jury in any jurisdiction could do the trick of getting Obama to resign in disgrace.
It confounds me that there hasn’t been a formal criminal investigation in any state or local jurisdiction over the last four years. Obama should have had to run for reelection with an indictment hanging over his head.

well, I see the reasoning behind your statement and it is hard to argue with.

The arrest for fraud could still happen even if the pardon occurred later, the fact of it would invalidate his works.

The problem with the grand jury is that the deliberations are sealed, aren’t they? This problem needs copious sunlight.

In a just world it would spur the leftist, lapdog media into some semblance of investigative journalism which would expose the massive lie and cover-up by virtually the entire government.

Emergency elections for nearly every office.

One can dream.
