Impeach. It Is Past Time

The Republican Party has seemingly always been involved in an internal struggle between the moderate elite ruling class and the conservative wing.  You may not recall, what with the conservative Reagan economic revolution and landslide victories, the even The Great Communicator was fought tooth and nail by the moderate GOP of the day.

Same story, different day, only, like our nation, the divide has greatly expanded.

A great example of this can be found by a retrospective examination of the recent GOP primary runoff in Mississippi. The extraordinary lengths the GOP establishment undertook to defeat tea party conservative candidate Chris McDaniel and push near comatose Thad Cochran to victory was nothing short of despicable.

It is noted the GOP establishment will sadly go after conservatives with lethal weaponry, but in the fight against big government progressives, legitimate winning strategies and tools for victory are found to be perhaps offending and are left on the table.  This is not by happenstance, because in far too many instances, the GOP establishment and the Progressive Democrats are on the same squad; the big government elite, America's ruling class.

The actions undertaken by the Obama administration on the border, at a number of levels, are lawless and a violation of our Constitution. The Cloward-Piven Strategy, thoroughly covered here on the blog, is being implemented with full speed with America's eyes wide open, and I am frankly amazed folks are not marching with pitch forks.  As Sen. Jeff Sessions, R:AL, pointed out in a letter to Congress; the situation is dire and could well "threatens the foundations of our Constitutional Republic".  Boy howdy, is he correct.  In more ways than one, we are in a Constitutional crisis.

Sarah Palin
With this in mind, Sarah Palin has had enough, and said it is time to impeach President Obama.

President Obama’s rewarding of lawlessness, including his own, is the foundational problem here. It’s not going to get better, and in fact irreparable harm can be done in this lame-duck term as he continues to make up his own laws as he goes along, and, mark my words, will next meddle in the U.S. Court System with appointments that will forever change the basic interpretation of our Constitution’s role in protecting our rights.

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.

The many impeachable offenses of Barack Obama can no longer be ignored. If after all this he’s not impeachable, then no one is.

Palin did not mince words, and given the peril Uncle Sam is in, it is not time for to be unclear. Given the laundry list of impeachable offenses, including the IRS scandal and weapon running, the border is in fact the transformation of America as we know it and is in violation of immigration laws.

You would think that the moderate Democrats and most every Republican would be in agreement with Palin, as adhering the law and protect our sovereignty are integral duties of our President.

But you would be wrong.

Very few, if any Democrats, are voicing concern.  Perhaps Rep. Henry Cuellar, D:TX, who previously proposed legislation allowing Obama to seek a third term, has been most vocal on the left. Most of the administration Obamabots are attacking her, most notably Attorney General Eric Holder, who should be arrested.

 But Palin is also met with resistance by the GOP establishment, with ABC News noting seven who disagree with her.  The list includes the weakness known as Speaker Boehner, progressive John McCain and pundit Bill Kristol, who has been batting about.375 in his political assessments of late.

Pat Buchanan
Perhaps three of the most respected voices, who although noting appropriate grounds, opposing Palin in her call to impeach are former VP Dick Cheney, Thomas Sowell and Patrick J. Buchanan.  A bridge too far, claimed the esteemed author, pundit and former presidential candidate. There are significant differences now than the nation faced with Richard Nixon noted Buchanan, public will the most significant.

"Republicans should drop the talk of impeachment. For the GOP would gain nothing and risk everything if the people began to take seriously their threats to do to Barack Obama what Newt Gingrich’s House did to Bill Clinton".

Pat Buchanan is absolutely correct if your objective is for the GOP to win the most seats possible in the House and Senate.  Thomas Sowell, a brilliant economist and author, summarized essentially the same premise put forth by Buchanan in an Investors Business Daily editorial piece.

Finally, it appears Obama is getting hit in the polls and for the GOP to control the House and Senate would be more effective in controlling Obama than an effort to formally impeach stirring up anybody and everybody amongst the citizenry.

Does that matter much anyway, as the GOP has put up little notable resistance to the policies of Obama, outside of a few brave souls, each of which would be considered conservative if not Tea Party?  I think not, as these are the same members of the progressive aforementioned ruling class.

Furthermore, Obama is turning 200 mile an hour laps on The Road We Are Traveling, which is part of the Fabian Socialist Revolution.  Freedom and liberty are burning off faster than exhaust.

With respect to Buchanan, it is Sarah Palin who is once again correct.  While the points made by Buchanan are politically expedient, we are done playing politics.  Our nation is at stake.

It is far time to operate on principle and law.  After all, are we not a nation of laws and not of men?


Obviously, Obama thinks he is the chosen one, the one who dictates the laws, which ones are adhered to and which ones are not.  Our President is wrong, far beyond the law, routinely operating outside of the Constitution and arrogantly out of line. The actions he is engaged in, particularly on the border which is placing the sovereignty of nation jeopardy, must be stopped.

Surely, there will be a political price.  However, no matter the price, our citizenry must force our elected officials to conduct themselves within the laws of our nation.  If they fail to govern by the laws and principles and consent of the governed, they must be removed.

It is our elected representatives that undertake that action on our behalf.  As Sarah Palin appropriately said, it is time to impeach.
