Some conflicts are of a nature to excuse one’s participation from front line assaults. Even then the outcome is contingent upon material and moral support rendered to the forces. America has experienced and withstood great threats to liberty, the very concept that elevates and separates her from all others. She is first among equals. There is little question that should the bedrock of its existence, the Constitution, be sullied in any manner, and in particular by domestic enemies from within, the entire world’s hope for justice and freedom for mankind everywhere will be severely diminished and perhaps extinguished.
There can be no doubt that the person occupying the Office of the President, having sworn to protect and defend the Constitution, is in fact the domestic enemy the writers of the Constitution warned future generations must guard against. His war on America commenced in the recesses of some individual’s mind to conspire to elect a person to the presidency in violation the eligibility requirement stipulated in the Constitution. “Sneak that one by the citizens and there is no stopping what else you can do!”
He has been unflinching in his crazed exhibition of egomaniacal self aggrandizement through the mechanism of the vast powers and control vested in the presidency. While increasing numbers of Americans are forced to apply for food stamps to feed themselves and family, and nothing has changed in the numbers of the unemployed in the two plus years of his White House tenure…he parties, plays golf, basketball and flies Air Force One on journeys we are told are of great importance to the nation only to read the after the fact critiques that he failed in his mission. Ever consider his failures are precisely what he wished to accomplish, a diminished America, one he so easily apologies on behalf of? He is now fully internationally identified as being ‘nutty’ or a fool or something they are restrained from saying in keeping with diplomacy, a dangerous joke.
Returning to the question of what Daddy did in the war, it is required at this moment in history to most seriously consider the grounds for Mr. Obama’s impeachment. Before doing so we must recall the constitutional ground rules.
Impeachable Offenses
Article II, Section 4 of the Constitution says, "The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors." In his report, Independent Counsel, Starr accuses President Clinton of committing eleven acts for which he could be removed from office by impeachment. Are any of those acts "Treason, Bribery, or other High Crimes and Misdemeanors?" Well, that's up to the members of the House of Representatives. According to Constitutional Lawyers, "High Crimes and Misdemeanors" are:
- Real criminality -- breaking a law;
- Abuses of power;
- "Violation of public trust" as defined by Alexander Hamilton in the Federalist Papers.
In 1970, then Representative Gerald R. Ford defined impeachable offenses as "whatever a majority of the House of Representatives considers it to be at a given moment in history." An excellent definition from Mr. Ford, Former President. In the past, Congress has issued Articles of Impeachment for acts in three general categories:
- Exceeding the constitutional bounds of the powers of the office.
- Behavior grossly incompatible with the proper function and purpose of the office.
- Employing the power of the office for an improper purpose or for personal gain.
Again, there can be no doubt in the mind of a majority of Americans that Mr. Obama has demonstrably acted in gross breach of each of these three categories. It is now crystal clear that has lied about or believes himself above the law in the matter of his actual eligibility to hold the office of president and placed his name for election to the office in full knowledge that he did not meet the constitutional requirements. Only he and his vilest apologists can further ignore the nation’s historic question, where is your proof?
The Supreme Court, as confirmed by Justice Thomas, has to this juncture ducked the responsibility of determining several petitions and actions that raise the issue. There is, however, one case of such a compelling legal question that the Court has scheduled a conference on March 4, 2011 to consider same. The outcome will be critical to the issue of are we a country bound by the constitution and a nation of laws?
Other questions swirl in the wind at the moment. When will our elected representatives abide by their oaths to protect and defend the Constitution? When will the appropriate House Committee commence deliberation on the question of Mr. Obama’s impeachment? Actual removal of a president requires the House of Representatives to vote by simple majority on Articles of Impeachment. The matter then proceeds to the Senate for trial. A guilty verdict requires a 2/3 vote from the full 100 Senators.
The commonly expressed reason for not commencing impeachment proceedings is that because the Senate is controlled by the Democrats, a 2/3 vote could never be achieved. Those who advance this excuse are political cowards and gypsy soothsayers. Should Article of Impeachment be voted by the House, and Democrat Senators vote straight party line thwarting the will of the House and majority of the nation’s citizens, so be it. They will be indelibly marked at their next election. Many are already and simple self preservation may encourage them in a proper direction – they love themselves more than the faker president.
Back to the Daddy question…in spite of the punishing outcome for the usurper in the 2010 election, he arrogantly moves his destructive game plan forward actually daring some one to try and stop him. He spins a continuous whirlwind of Executive Orders violating any law he does not like, blatantly ignores Federal Court Orders, personally decides what laws are in his judgment constitutional and dismisses those he pretends are not, has openly declared war on states rights and orders his corrupt Justice Department to legally attack those states not in compliance with his personal and political whims, not to mention employing his community organizer mentality to call out union thugs to enforce his game plan for the folks in the street.
Daddy’s answer…children I stood my ground in demanding that my political representatives stop him and the insane damage he was doing to the fabric of our great nation by all constitutional means. I insisted that anyone who violates the constitution must die by that same document. I also made clear that any elected person who fails their oath of office to protect and defend the Constitution would never again be given the privilege of serving our people.
