Does he have a point? Do we need to get our [expletive] together before we go after the Chicago mob, the racialist industry, the media, academia, the unions and the other Democrats?

No matter how many ways I say this, I’m going to get the usual “RINO!” reaction.

RINO!. . .I don't know how many ways you can say it. . .but the way you chose. . .arrogance, condescension and just being an all-around self-absorbed asshat. . .will get you the RINO tag, deservedly so, EVERYTIME!!

The first enemies of the Republic that need to be neutered are the lapdog media. Never before in American history have so many been lied to so much by so few.

So what was the carefully wargamed, meticulously detailed roadmap everyone followed when Clinton was impeached?

Everything in that article could be boiled down to “it’s complicated, so we shouldn’t even try”. I note that he doesn’t even begin to say what the solution is, if impeachment isn’t possible. Anyone can sit around naysaying and criticizing, and ol’ Ricky there doesn’t even want to hear from you if you don’t have everything already charted and scripted.

What a putz.

Since I can’t edit to add, I have to reply again with:

Hey, Ricky! All that boring planning, “block-and-tackle” stuff to get ready for impeachment? THAT’S YOUR F#^&ING JOB!

If he were to resign, like Nixon, under the threat of impeachment, would Joe Biden or Valerie Jarrett take his place?

The Founders never thought we would have a democracy, where even the most ignorant citizens could vote to choose the leadership of the nation. If you watch “Water’s World” on O’Reilly, you see what passes for a college student these days,
and they voted in huge numbers for this flop of a president.

Had they foreseen the stupidity of their successors in instituting a democracy, they might have adopted the “vote of no confidence” route to getting rid of a loser president, as parliamentary governments can do.

Just look at what the Democrats accomplished in 1973-74. It took 20 months of intense, synchronized activity, highly organized and following a well-thought out master plan to remove a President who had just won. 520 electoral votes and 61% of the popular vote.

There is no corresponding Republican structure capable of anything like that.

That’s because we haven’t had the press in our pockets since the 1890s. It has been “progressive” at least that long. At first they hid it pretty well but now the masks have come off almost completely.

we need to continue developing the case for impeachment regardless. Perhaps the battlefield will change in our favor and present an opportunity. Impeachment remains the goal even if if the goal is not presently realistic. Stay on target.

I agree with the idea of continuing to make the case for impeachment, whether or not it actually materializes, but I would state out goal differently.

In my opinion, our goal needs to be restoration of our republic, a constitutionally limited federal government. Impeachment of Obama then is but one theater of conflict in a much wider political struggle. I suggest we keep focused on restoring those constitutional limits.

I assume that was tongue-in-cheek, but to answer your question, Slow Joe is legally the next-in-line. However, I wouldn’t be at *all* surprised if, once Joe took office, Jarrett continued in the same role she currently has.

IMHO: The Whole Lot Of Them. Tar. Feathers. Rail. Some assembly required.

People like this author are the prime examples of why we are in this predicament. Their premises are incorrect. We don’t lose because we don’t plan. We lose because the game is rigged and not by our sworn enemies, but by our supposed allies.

Some people have zero faith so they need every move plotted out with every possible counter strategy by the enemy met by an overwhelming force counter move before they will do anything. I’ve known people who lived their lives like that — paralyzed. They do nothing, they accomplish very little, they live perpetually cowed.

We don’t control the media, we never will. We don’t control the fickle people in this world, we never will. As for shaking in our boots over the dirt the dems have on us, if we can’t stand the heat, we need to get out of the kitchen. Blackmail is an evil thing. We don’t control the evil in this world. But there is something we do control — our own actions.

1. Do what is right.

2. Put our faith in God and trust in Him.

Because we have failed to do those two things we are in this situation now. Because we imagine we can control anything outside of ourselves, we are proven wrong time and again. The only thing we can control is our own action or inaction. If we fail to do what is right — impeach, if we fail to put our faith in God and not man, we will utterly fail and no amount of planning and long drawn out thought will change that fact. No amount of waiting for a human savior to magically appear or media turn around will help.

The author does not see the real problem at all. This pass fail test is not being given to Obama. He’s been positioned where he is for a reason. The hand is writing on the wall. That hand is writing for us. Will we be found lacking in — courage, faith, and will to do what is right? These cowardly so called conservatives keep reminding me that: All that is necessary for evil to succeed is for good men to do nothing.

Paralysis is not an option. We must do what is right or our failure is already complete.

It is as simple as this.

Impeachment is a political process. To be successful, the public has to be demanding it.

Until then it is a fools errand. You don’t make an attempt on the King unless you know you will succeed. To fail only further unleashes him to do more things he couldn’t do in the open before. And he would.

My 2 cents...

You need to convince the general public, not congress. When the public is clamoring for it, congress will follow. That is the simple truth of it.

absolutely. In order to do that, however, we need to keep our offensive momentum going into the mid terms and we do that by staying on target by massing the effects of overwhelming offensive power at the decisive place and time-the midterm elections. He and they are unbalanced right now and on the defense. They need to stay that way.
