Impeaching Obama
If you don’t follow the far-far-right, the basic context is that they (of course) want Barack Obama impeached after 45 days in office, or they want to secede from the Union, or something equally feckless. Andrew Sullivan addresses the first Hannity-flavored option:
Obama’s predecessor secretly invoked the power to suspend the First and Fourth Amendments for seven years, authorized the seizure and torture of American citizens, launched two decade-long wars of attrition, doubled the national debt, presided over the worst financial bubble since the 1930s, provided the weakest level of economic growth in decades, and left the US in the grip of the steepest depression since the 1930s. But after five weeks, it’s Obama who should be impeached? Ooookaaaay.
In related news, I have zero interest in the whole Rush/CPAC debate other than to say that his speech was impressive in its delivery and positioning. I still have no idea how conservatives square Limbaugh’s “I want President Obama to fail” charade with their (and possibly his) position of two years ago: “Criticizing the President during wartime is unpatriotic.”
I guess we’re only patriotic when our guy is in charge? Daily Kos responds, Yes, We Can.

This man will face impeachment as well he should. Wake up Kool Aid fans, this man is dangerous.

okay.. i am not completly all about pollitics
but one i thing that i do know is that you guys should give obama a chance to change.. if over half of you voted for him how come you guys are even thinking about impeaching him? he diserves a chance if you dont think so then mabey you should try running for president. and see how easy you people think it is to change the world in just a few months? i voted for mr. obama and im all for his changes. you never know these days people are and do believe in miracles so if you think of the feature too much and you dont believe that his ways or what he thinks might be best for the country we live in.. then why did you vote for him? the magority of americans voted for him obviously.. why the sudden change of mind?
alright well i belive that the impeachment of Obama is totally acting as just another excuse towards Americans giving up and following to find another leader. We HAD so much hope in him being elected, that a DEMOCRAT someone who could make a change without arrogancy, So far he has brought us to peace with many countries, and is only trying to make a difference. I do understand that many things are going on in the world, but things as we know it aren’t getting any better. Natural resources, plainly are only getting lower and lower. YET we still use them. The ozone steadily is thinning and decreasing YET we still continue to find certain things and/or people to blame the cause of only OURSELVES on! It’s ridiculous. As a nation, even as PEOPLE standing together is the only thing that keeps us apart from being anything less that America.

No, we’re not “patriotic only when our guy is in charge,” but military retreat, unilateral surrender, choosing to pay millions of dollars to the families of 9-11 victims instead of tracking down and destroying their muderers, and whining to us that “War in not the Answer”–these are not patriotism in action. The fact is that War IS the Answer, the only one that works.
Obama is not qualified to be president, he should never have been permitted on the ballot, because he is not a naturalized citizen. He lies routinely. How is he defending and protecting the Constitution, when he’s constantly undermining it by the unconstitutional appointment of Senator Hillary to Secy. of State? The present administration is already the most corrupt in history.
It’s not simply liberalism that we despise–that nonsensical affront to liberty that will always be defeated in the marketplace of ideas. No, it’s the underhanded, downright illegal, and vicious tactics that Democrat politicians resort to in order to have their way. And the hypocrisy. Democrats hold hearing after hearing over the legal actions of President Bush in firing attorneys who refused to enforce voter fraud cases, but these same leftists were silent when Clinton fired all of them, and they have nothing critical to say about Obama’s illegal appointment of Clinton. There is no moral authority in liberalism–none!

Let’s impeach him! why? Because of the following reasons:
1. He blames America to diminish its standing in the world.
2. Allows Tax increases to pursuit his stated goals.
3. He will watch over the end of traditional marriage
4. He will silence conservatives through the Fairness Doctrine damaging free speech for all Americans
5. He will pullback in the war on Terror that will embolden our enemies.
6. He will usher in leftist judicial activism by nominating judges who disregard the Constitution in favor of legislation from the bench.
7. He will minimize government efforts to secure our borders while exposing our nation to more illegal, criminal and terrorist crossings at our borders
8. He will sign into law a plan to give amnesty and taxpayer supported benefits to millions of illegal aliens, launching the largest increase in illegal immigration in our nation’s history. We will loose our nation.
9. He will oversee a reduction in the U. S. military while persuing a radical agenda of nuclear disarmament as part of an overall strategy that leaves our country more vulnerable to terrorist attack.
10. He will codify into law the theory of global warming costing taxpayers billions of dollars and placing an enormous burden on the U.S. economy (we will pay taxes not to breath, but to exhale).
And 11 more reasons that I will post later. (See Grassfire.org).
AMERICA, wake up! ana impeach him!
