http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0711/59836.html ^

Posted on 07/25/2011 12:25:00 PM PDT by thepatriot1

Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) said Monday that President Barack Obama “would be impeached” if the nation falls into default.

“STOP talking about default,” he wrote on Twitter. “The 1st dime of each $1 of revenue services debt. Obama would be impeached if he blocked debt payments. C C & B!”

I hate even thinking this, much less saying it, but part of me hopes he’s not impeached. As much pain as he is inflicting on America, that pain is exactly the thing needed to bring a lot of fair-weather Lib/Democrats to their senses since the impact to them personally, whether financial or what have you, is the only thing that “may” wake them the hell up from their Utopian fantasies. THEY need to experience the hell PERSONALLY. Mugged liberal and all that...

I know exactly what you mean. I think it's the mushy middle independents that need the mugging though and have enough openness to actually learn something from this. If reality slaps them hard enough to wake them up the left will be an impotent minority without them.

The downside is the rest of us have to suffer right along with them.

That's true but by our nature I think we have more inner and outer resources to endure in bad times and an understanding of why it must be so. Pro-life and pro-liberty values are worth sacrificing for. They are not some nebulous hope-and-change, wing-and-a-prayer, pie-in-the-sky dreams of someday becoming angels dancing a polka on the head of a pin rather than the humans on a wild and wooly planet that we really are.

“A long train of abuses....”

when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.-- You are so right my FRiend!

It is time for a second "Declaration of Independence"! Impeaching the POS would be a good start....

Ironically, Bill Clinton is advising him to bypass and ignore congress.

Bill has a vested interest in getting him impeached....Hillary thinks she is waiting in the wings....

You have stuned my beeber. I am series! ;^)

I want to thank you for sharing how you cared for your "girls." That really helps to hear. I am in that awkward position of knowing what you mean. I am slowly losing my best friend and at the same time becoming closer to her than ever before.

Yes, indeed. Unequal treatment under the law. Soviet-style elitist party favoritism.

“...stupid, recalcitrant bastard ...”

I prefer Feckless Marxist Douchebag, but “stupid, recalcitrant bastard” also seems to sing nicely to the ear...

Accurate, too. Especially the “bastard” part. We still don’t know “who’s yo daddy” when it comes to him, do we?

I know, and it brings tears to my eyes and a tug at my heart to think of it. It is such a hard thing, yet it’s also a soul-growing experience. Your care for her is a blessing for both of you, even though it’s difficult to see in the midst of the trial. You will persevere and you will look back on this time with satisfaction that you loved your “best friend” through the storm. May the Lord continue to give you strength and patience.

“I know exactly what you mean. I think it’s the mushy middle independents that need the mugging though and have enough openness to actually learn something from this. If reality slaps them hard enough to wake them up the left will be an impotent minority without them. “

Every poll in the country consistently shows that the majority of people lean farther right than left. I have talked with more than a few genuine ‘indys’ and even some self-proclaimed Lefties over the years that claimed Dem-like beliefs. After a brief discussion where they agree with the majority of my very ‘Right’ views I always ask them why they claim to be left and agree with the basic Right platform.

Amazing how once people actually stop and critically think about the issues and how they really ‘feel’ about them, they most often root for our team.

Unfortunately too many of them fall for voting for Dem lefties.

True. I remember the good old days when stupidity hurt. Some people will never learn and today’s system is designed as one big protection racket from the law of unintended consequences...much to the dismay of thinking people everywhere.
