NYT's Ross Douthat: Obama's Immigration 'Caesarism' Crossing the Rubicon to Impeachment
Breitbart's Big Government ^ | August 3, 2014

Note From Senior Management: In an opinion piece in today’s New York Times, columnist Ross Douthat articulates the case that Breitbart News has reported on in regards to the attack on American sovereignty and the president's increasing lawlessness that is leading the country to a Constitutional crisis later this summer.

Something rather dangerous is happening in American politics right now, all the more so for being taken for granted by many of the people watching it unfold.

I do not mean the confusion of House Republicans, or the general gridlock in Congress, which are impeding legislative action on the child migrant crisis (among other matters). Incompetence and gridlock are significant problems, indeed severe ones, but they’re happening within the context of a constitutional system that allows for — and can survive — congressional inaction.

What is different — more cynical and more destructive — is the course President Obama is pursuing in response.

Over the last month, the Obama political apparatus — a close aide to the president, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, and the “independent” voices at MSNBC — has been talking nonstop about an alleged Republican plan to impeach the president. John Boehner’s symbolic lawsuit against the White House has been dubbed “impeachment lite,” Sarah Palin’s pleas for attention have been creatively reinterpreted as G.O.P. marching orders, and an entire apocalyptic fund-raising campaign has been built around the specter of a House impeachment vote....

In 1966 I saw a bit of Graffiti in a nightclub restroom. It said “where is Lee Harvey Oswald now that we really need him?” Wonder why I remembered that just now?

In order to believe that Oswald did it, or at least acted alone, one must also believe that Jack Ruby was a patriotic citizen who killed Oswald in a sudden fit of rage over the loss of his beloved president.

If Congress stands idly by, while Elmer Fudd and Joe Insurance Policy commit treason; they will deservedly be disbanded. The regime will overthrow the Constitution and impose HIS law.

When civil war starts, he will accomplish his goal of breaking up the country. When Congress is disbanded, he will accomplish his goal of breaking up the country.

There is a third choice - massive disobedience. We’ve had a small taste of that in CT and NY with the gun confiscation laws.

The Rubicon preceded the Ides of March

Both led to the dissolution of the Republic

Yes, and you’d also had to believe that it was just a coincidence that Oswald had his “Fair Play for Cuba” office in the same building as the FBI in New Orleans and there is a film with almost an nor interview of him.

Just for fun, read Oswald’s discussion of his time in Russia, thoughtfully included as an enclosure to the Warren Report. It’s well-written and funny and anything but pro-communist. My guess? He was a government informant since left the Marine Corps.

And that his sudden cancer was just a coincidence.

What I consider the absolute, most horrifically terrifying is the sudden, in-your-face march to another holocaust.


1933

January 30: Adolf Hitler appointed Chancellor of Germany by President Von Hindenburg.
March 22: The first official Nazi concentration camp opens in Dachau, a small village located near Munich (note: some “wild camps” already existed before 1933: Papenburg, Esterwegen, Börgermoor etc...). The first commandant of Dachau is Theodor Eicke.
April 1: Boycott of Jewish shops and businesses.
April 7: Laws for Reestablishment of the Civil Service barred Jews from holding civil service, university, and state positions
April 26: The Gestapo (”Geheime Stat Polizei” - Secret State Police) is established by Herman Goering, minister of Prussia.
May 10: Public burnings of books written by Jews, political dissidents, and others not approved by the state.
July 14: Law excluding East European Jewish immigrants of German citizenship.

1934

August 2: Hitler proclaims himself Führer und Reichskanzler (Leader and Reich Chancellor). Armed forces must now swear allegiance to him.

1935

May 31: Jews barred from serving in the German armed forces
September 15: “Nuremberg Laws”: first anti-Jewish racial laws enacted; Jews no longer considered German citizens; Jews could not marry Aryans; nor could they fly the German flag.
November 15: Germany defines a “Jew”: anyone with three Jewish grandparents; someone with two Jewish grandparents who identifies as a Jew. .....................
