Didn’t matter what color Brown was nor will it make any difference for Obama. The law must be upheld or we’ll become a lawless state.
Riots be damned. Impeach the serial usurper!!
Yeah, Obama SHOULD be impeached, but it won't happen, so why waste time and effort on it? It would be better to spend the time and effort on things that will yield better actual results for the American people.
I’m in favor of an all of the above approach.
I think it would take at least six houses of congress.
Excellent post.
Once his approval rating nationwide sinks below 30%, he’s fair game.....
Sure he deserves to be, but why give him what he wants? He wanted to be the prom queen, but you can be sure he’ll be just as happy if he ends up being Carrie. He’s a psycho! The best we can do is contain his actions and help him destroy the Democrat brand for the next two centuries.
The best we can do for the constitution and the republic and our posterity is impeach him for his crimes.
Wouldn’t a final conviction render all of these laws, regulations, &c. null and void? Two birds with one stone?
One doesn’t just change the constitution.
I guess I am glad your opinion doesn't matter.
Are we to be no better than the Attorney General that ignores the laws he doesn't like?
The House of representatives is obligated by oath to bring charges against a lawless president, failing to do so for political reasons is treasonous.
Well they could always deem the votes to pass as the House did under Pelousy.
Is it ok if we think he should be impeached or is that not allowed?
One doesn't but one apparently can ignore it with out ill effect.
From the outset, the Zimmerman case gave Obama the opportunity to go to plan B. Plan B is a classic political device used when ruthless politicians particularly ideologs run into trouble. Which was the opportunity for creating division, in this case racial. As he watched the dwindling poll numbers Obama was getting at the time it occured. He needed a create a group to build a wall that would encircle and protect him from any disciplinary action taken by congress.
As the Florida case began to develop they created the required narrative. Took a black hispanic with a jewish forename working security in an integrated modest income semi gated community who defended himself in a struggle over a gun when coldcocked by a large “afro”-American youth as he lay prone on a cement private walk that managed to defend himself shooting and killing his attacker.
Took the security guard, turned him into a white rich jew, from a very exclusive white community, who killed a black 12 year old boy simply because he was black just walking down a public street.
Because neither the political opposition or nor any of the so called media particularly the black media as much as questioned the story. The highly vaulted conservative talk radio hosts were all over themselves avoided any definitive defence of the guard or connected it to the implementation of a Plan B.
Does anyone see the similarities between Florida and Missouri? Plan B culminated in Feguson where today Obama has clearly demonstrated what would happen if the impeachment process were to be implemented.
WHAT TO DO ?
It Is Time For The Congress To Re-establish it’s constitutional authority
While the talkies, talk radio show hosts, need to remind “US” of this.. Members of the House and Senate also seem to forget. While those selected to head various federal departments of government are recomended by the incomming POTUS (president of the United States).
Such candidates are constitutionaly required to be approved by the Senate in a procedure known as advise and consent.. Those appointed then are also sworn to uphold, protect,serve, and support the constitution. Not the executive branch. .
Such appointees can and should refuse any executive order.Or allow the executive branch create a political appointee who over rides their congressional authority. Particularly. If and when that executive order is designed to ignore existing congressional legislation which defines a departments jurisdiction or specific purpose protecting the interests of the country . Which places the country in danger, or minimizes the value of citizenship, or places its citizens in clear and eminent danger.
Therefore they and their respective departments must be held answerable to both houses of congress which funds these operations. And, should be held in contempt, censure, and impeachment and the funds witheld if refused to comply.
Of course he should be impeached. It is sad that the R’s are so afraid of the reactions that they lack the courage to do what is right.
Impeached? ... Naw, not far enough. He should be tried for treasonous sedition and taken before a court appointed firing squad.
Because the 2/3 impeachment vote requirement is written directly in the Constitution. The filibuster rule was a long established parliamentary operating custom, but not an actual Constitutional law.
Indeed the rub.
“Didn’t matter what color Brown was nor will it make any difference for Obama.” I have no idea what you are thinking with this comment. It’s incomprehensible to me so I’ll pass on replying to it.
If we live in a lawless state, perhaps we all should shoulder the blame for not working harder to defeat Obama in 2008 when we knew his ‘hope and change’ was snake oil and especially again in 2012 when we all knew he was trying to ‘transform’ the country. Perhaps what we are going through is God’s punishment for failing to defeat him. We had our chances and blew it. Shame on us.
On the other hand, another two years of Obama may well be the nail in the coffin of far left philosphy. The American people aren’t stupid and are beginning to see what unfettered liberalism will do to their country. The resulting rubble caused by Obama and his leftist ‘transformation’ of the basic American system of government, the economy and the culture (In fact, all the things with which you rightly indict him) will be a harsh lesson learned, dearly to be sure, but necessary for the low information voter to experience. If the child puts his hand in the fire once, he is not likely to repeat the experience.
I have to take issue with your “riots be damned” attitude, although I’m sure a great many folks agree—without thinking about the consequences. I think the ‘riots’ would be closer to a civil insurrection with many lives lost and billions of dollars in property destroyed. Not to mention the long term loss of any comity between the races.
Basically the majority of white Americans have been willing to buy off the blacks in the name of compassion or reparations for past injustices. We’ve bought them off with all sorts of welfare which gives incentives for staying off work rolls and producing virtually ‘fatherless’ children to make it financially profitable to stay away from work and family ties. Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan identified the problem associated with this supposedly righteous, guiltless, and virtuous thinking:
” The steady expansion of welfare programs can be taken as a measure of the steady disintegration of the Negro family structure over the past generation in the United States.”
With millions of young black men, unemployed, underemployed or employed in crime, there is NO sense of being part of an American community. They have no skin in the game. As a result, they are highly susceptible to calls for destruction of the icons of the system. And there is no one in government who will be ready and able to give a “shoot to kill” order to stop the violence.
So I think anyone who wants to lead should stop sloganeering for impossible and improbable outcomes. Let’s pull up our big boy pants and endure the unendurable in the sure knowledge that better times are coming.
