IMPEACHMENT GOES MAINSTREAM
Breitbart ^ | November 14, 2014 | By Ben Shapiro

Posted on 11/14/2014 12:50:54 PM PST by Jim Robinson

In July, former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin wrote a widely-publicized op-ed for Breitbart News. “Enough is enough of the years of abuse from this president,” she wrote. “Without borders, there is no nation. Obama knows this. Opening our borders to a flood of illegal immigrants is deliberate. This is his fundamental transformation of America.” Then, she dropped the bomb: “It’s time to impeach; and on behalf of American workers and legal immigrants of all backgrounds, we should vehemently oppose any politician on the left or right who would hesitate in voting for articles of impeachment.”

Believe it or not, Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) had actually suggested impeachment even earlier, this time over the Bowe Bergdahl prisoner swap, in which the Obama administration freed five top-level Taliban terrorists in exchange for the alleged deserter. He stated, “There will be people on our side calling for his impeachment if he did that.” And Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA) said in March that Obama could be up for impeachment if he continued his “unconstitutional approaches” to immigration reform and Obamacare.

But it was Palin’s comments that drove ire. At the time, Palin’s critics leapt on the comments to suggest that Republicans more broadly were planning impeachment; House Speaker John Boehner immediately fired back, stating that he disagreed with Palin on impeachment.

There were some who defended Palin’s position – Mark Levin explained, “our country is being destroyed….Here’s the dead truth. Obama should be impeached, but he won’t be impeached. Obama should be impeached if the Republicans take the Senate, but he won’t be impeached if the Republicans take the Senate. Obama has committed high crimes and misdemeanors by violating the constitution.”

And what pray tell are those attacks based on? You know. Lets get the whole thing out there. Voting for RINOS that work to bench conservatism? RINOS that claim to be conservative while acting in ways that empower democrats?

Yup. Proud of it too. Show me one conservative I have ever ‘attacked’ for a conservative action. Lake has been unable to provide any proof of his assertion for an hour after a fit of posting. Lets see how long it takes you. Post ALL the context for what you fine of my great evil and ping me when you do.

The Dems went after Agnew first to replace him with Ford before they targeted Nixon. Nixon loved his country and his own honor enough to resign before the country was further harmed. Does anyone think Obama is honorable enough to step down by the will of the people via impeachment? Dream on. This guy is an anarchist. He wants the tumult.

They had it right and it worked until a collection of fools decided they knew how to ‘fix’ things that were unbroken and other fools kept sending them back to DC.

Eventually we win. Because America is the best thing going. Eventually we will return to it and the fools will be shipped out to places better suited to their politics. Like France, England or South America. Because the people that rebuild our country will not have them.

Actually, amnesty opens the floodgates and the Republic is destroyed. No borders, no constitution, lawless, godless, unlimited socialist government. There would be no constitutional remedy left. We’d have to fall back on the last recourse as defined by the Founders in the Declaration.

As the man said, this one is for all the marbles. It’ll be impeach and remove or bye-bye Constitution, bye-bye Republic.

I have had this discussion with you in the past and you will not win. You say Rino’s bench conservatism? Well what do the dems do? If we follow your idiotic advice and do not vote for the Norm endorsed candidate the dems will always win. I would rather get what I want 70% of the time with a so-called Rino then never get what I want and have no influence with a dem. No amount of whining, jumping up and down, lies, or strawman arguments are going to convince me that not voting, voting for dems, or wasting my vote on a third party is the correct strategy. And before you prattle on about your so called principles, I have principles of my own. Defeat the dems anywhere we can, use incrementalism to take the country back. Start with things like defunding NPR, defeating unions, infiltrating education and entertainment industries. Use incrementalism on the Progs like they used it on us. Use the power of the purse, defund the left.

But no, you think it can all be undone in one election, as long as we vote for the Norm approved candidate of course. As I used to tell my ex wife, unicorns do not exist, no matter how much you wish it to be so. I have yet to see you offer a solution to taking back the country, just the same nonsense about only voting for what you consider to be a “pure” conservative.

When you respond, try to refute what I have said, no more strawman BS from you. That is all I or anyone else ever gets from you. Answer the following; A senate race in N.H. is taking place. The Republican is a Rino according to you. Should the citizens of that state who are conservatives not vote, or vote for the dem to “teach the GOP a lesson?” When the dem wins, is the state and the country better off? Why was a ‘Rino” who will agree with us 70% of the time not good enough? We all know a true conservative will not win there in this day and age, with the way things are. So, how does taking your advice or using your strategy benefit anyone but the dems?

Rinos who prove to be empowering dems and not willing to work with conservatives should be primaried. However, if they win the primary, my previous questions stands.

I am awaiting your response. This should be good...

I’ve been preaching the same thing for several elections. Whats there to ‘win?” You got the RINOS your 30 year record of fail demanded and now we get amnesty. And you worked for it every election with every no matter what POS RINO you demanded. Because those ‘lesser evils’ became the greatest evil. Yes, they did. And “I” and those like me are not responsible for whay “YOU” and those like you caused.

I don’t have to ‘win”. But thanks you the mentality your crew pushed here and everywhere else on the right, America lost. Suck it up Buttercup.

I’ve almost decided that Obama’s convinced the Republicans won’t try to impeach him, but that he’s overlooked one, tiny fact that Biden wants to be POTUS and “just might” go behind his back to rally the sufficient number of demonic-rat Senators needed to impeach the Muslim, Marxist SOB.

LOL.

“As the man said, this one is for all the marbles. It’ll be impeach and remove or bye-bye Constitution, bye-bye Republic.”

I can’t think of a more accurate way of stating the fact.

I caused nothing you moron. I vote for the most conservative candidate in the primaries and vote against the dems in the general if my candidate did not win. And here goes Norm, using the only playbook he has..try to discredit those who disagree with him because actually refuting their arguments is not possible using his idiotic line of so-called “reasoning”.

Not one response to my post, not one! You can call names, whine, make accusations, but can offer NO SOLUTIONS, no vision for taking the country back. Just stamp your feet like an 8 year old and try to assign blame to others because you are not getting your way.

I knew you would not answer any of the questions that I asked! Knew it! You won’t answer because you know that it will destroy your position. I would say that you are intellectually dishonest, but to be honest, intellect has no place in your world. Suck THAT up, lil’ Normie! lol

To: Jim Robinson; All
If Obama grants amnesty though illegal means, there must be every means necessary used to stop that from happening. If that is civil disobedience by the people and failure of his subordinates to implement his orders so be it.

Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, -- That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government...

Obama is 50% white, 42% Arab and 8% black.

He should not get a pass on anything.

You said 30 years. Lets be honest here Norm, you don’t know what the hell your talking about and if you do then that means you support a platform before 1984.

Please expand on this brilliant revelation.
