Jesus Christ: You can’t impeach Him and He ain’t gonna resign.

There was a time when members of the European nobility could have a member of the lower classes flogged, incarcerated, tortured and even executed without standing trial before a jury of their peers.
There were no repercussions, no penalties and nothing less than disfavor with the monarchy could interfere with their "rights as aristocracy," and they ruled their fiefdoms with fear and cruelty.
Under a supposed law – droit du seigneur, also called jus primae noctis – feudal lords had the right to have sex with any subordinate woman they desired, up to and including her wedding night, and it allowed medieval lords to take the virginity of the daughters of his serfs.
The injustice alone was maddening, but the worst part was the helplessness, the total inability to do anything at all. Even a verbal protest could provoke a whipping or worse.
The feudal aristocracy was untouchable.
It's easy to see why so many uprisings and revolutions took place over the centuries.
Under England’s King George, American colonists were considered little more than chattel, bound to serve and pay taxes to the crown, taxes they had no say in levying. To rebel against doing so made one subject to imprisonment on nothing more than the word of one Redcoat officer, and they were untouchable.
In America, we had slavery, and the slave owner was free to whip or even hang slaves, to sell off their children and their spouses without a thought of family ties.
The slave owners were untouchable.
That is until the rank and file finally had enough and overthrew the tyrants, brought down the monarchies and instituted a more democratic kind of government, one where, at least in theory, all men were created equal and all were equally subject to the same laws.
No one is supposed to be untouchable anymore. From the president to the street bum, from the movie star to the soccer mom, everybody is supposed be bound by the law of the land. All are answerable to a judge and jury, brought before the bar with equal footing, entitled to legal representation, innocent until proven guilty and treated the same under the law, whether prince or pauper.
Unfortunately, many of our elected officials seem to consider themselves above the laws that the rest of us have to abide by. They cover for each other, muddy the water with inane legalese, hide pertinent paperwork and even some of the most egregious acts, crimes that should rate jail time, result in nothing more than cloture, and many times, nothing at all.
There are bureaucrats at the IRS who should be in jail. They have violated the very premise of the Constitution, denying equal rights under the law by favoring political entities. And nobody knows what else they may have done. There’s no telling just how deep the IRS's crimes go, and there is a distinct possibility that we will never know.
And yet Lois Lerner walks the streets, a free woman still drawing a paycheck paid by the same taxpayers she cheated.
Seemingly untouchable.
Eric Holder's incredibly stupid "Fast and Furious” that actually put American guns in the hands of Mexican drug cartels and getting a lot people, including an American who was killed in the process, deserved at least a thorough congressional investigation, but that came to a screeching halt at the desk of Barack Obama, who exerted executive privilege, resulting in the cover-up of one of the most inept actions ever undertaken by an Attorney General.
Eric Holder is untouchable.
Hillary Clinton, in spite of being "the smartest woman in the world," saw nothing wrong with using a private email server in her home when she was Secretary of State, making personal and classified documents available to every master hacker on the planet.
Now, Obama is exerting executive privilege to keep the congress and the voting public from knowing the extent of Hillary's elitist folly.
Hillary is untouchable.
Folks, what do you think would have happened to you if you denied the equal rights of even one person, if you had given firearms to known criminals, or if you exposed classified documents to enemies of the state?
Are you any less an American citizen than Lois Lerner, Eric Holder or Hillary Clinton? Are you not entitled to the same treatment under the law as they are?
Are we not creating a new class of "untouchables," a new brand of elites who can break the law without fear and walk away without punishment?
Are these not the acts of a monarchy, not a republic?
Whatever happened to the proposition this country was founded on, that all men are created equal?
Are some people created "more equal" than others?
What do you think?
Pray for our troops and the peace of Jerusalem.
God Bless America

He certainly must have been talking about Hillary. Is she not Untouchable #1?
Untouchables? Can you say kennedys?
I wouldn't touch her, and if the reports about Web Hubble are correct, I don't think Bill did either...
In the old Jim Crow South, the local sheriff was often a near dictator, feared by all… one was alleged to say: “Taint no Constitution in my country other than me”. Yes, they were all Democrats.
Is America Creating a New Class of ‘Untouchables’?
Yeah, Charlie; they call ‘em CONGRESS.
TERM LIMITS, NOW AND FOREVER!
It’s already happened. It’s been this way for some time.
Someone once said that politicians should only serve two terms: the first in office, the second in jail.
This is great!
I agree with you about Congress and term limits, but I think the protected class includes upper level bureaucrats, judges, liberal businessmen, and liberal media.
I agree. I was really surprised at the quality of writing. He’s quite good.
And college professors and radical left students.
Give ‘em hell, Charlie!......................
I believe the Devil went to Washington D.C.!
It agree. Also the race pimps.
How about Barack Obama? He picks and chooses which laws to enforce and how to enforce them. When a case gets to the Supreme Court, they allow it. He is “untouchable”.
How about the Supreme Court? They have lifelong tenure but theoretically can be impeached. None ever has.
They are supposed to interpret the Constitution, and allow the People to change the Constitution if they so desire. Instead, they create a right of abortion and of gay marriage when none is listed in the Constitution, and they effectively removed the right to “exercise” religion that is specifically within the 1st Amendment.
They are worse than “untouchable”. They are our new monarchs.
Jesus Christ: You can’t impeach Him and He ain’t gonna resign.
“Are you any less an American citizen than Lois Lerner, Eric Holder or Hillary Clinton?”
Ask anyone inside the Beltway and they’ll answer unequivocally ‘yes’.
