Government exists to do good. It is there to secure our natural rights, promote the general welfare and happiness of the people. When those servants of the people abuse the power we gave them and do wicked things, we have a positive duty to ourselves and posterity to punish the evil-doers.

As far as i know, it's not legal for a citizen of Indonesia to be our president!

Let's start at the beginning!

My family was sitting around after eating our Turkey dinner. We didn’t speak of politics during dinner, but after the pie and coffee, the discussion went to Obama and the next two years.

All were very worried about this. They feel Obama will impose a very vindictive and dangerous agenda if he isn’t stopped.

The GOP will not be loved for ignoring the duty to rein in this Unconstitutional clown in the WH.

Everyone around that table was in agreement.

Our next congress should do something, but they won’t do it unless we, as a motivated group, show them that they should. Let the letter writing begin!

I disagree that government exists to do good. It sounds like something Obama would say; its too socialistic. Government was created to protect private property and life. A proper government is designed to stop evil men.

Organized crime can learn a thing or two from DC.

I disagree complete. Government *does not* exist to do good, precisely because it is both *incapable* of doing so and *incompetent* to do so. Instead, government exists solely for two simple purposes: to defend the nation with an organized army; and to perform those functions of the social contract that need continual performance.

Arguing about impeachment is meaningless, because the problem is deeper than the president as an individual. The problem is the *office* of the president. For over 200 years it has taken unconstitutional powers to itself, so today it has become an “imperial presidency”.

So instead the argument should be over *how* the powers of the office of the presidency should be curtailed, and *how* Republican presidential candidates should be vetted to determine if they are willing to diminish their office for the sake of our nation.

Paradoxically, most candidates for the office are egotistical and filled with burning ambition. They not only crave the excessive power of the presidency; they delude themselves into thinking that “I can use this power wisely”.

But the adage is true: “Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men.” - Lord Acton

Could Obama be impeached? Certainly. But so could W. Bush, Bill Clinton, H.W. Bush, and even Ronald Reagan came close. Jimmy Carter most deservedly needed impeachment.

But in each case, the problem was not the man, but the office. And there is quite a “laundry list” of presidential actions that need curtailment, as well as those that need reform. Others need clear rules created by congress.

It is the first step to changing the entire federal government for the better.

Government exists to do good. It is there to secure our natural rights, promote the general welfare and happiness of the people.

Or in Obama’s mindset:

Government is God. I am here to allow you natural rights that only I deems necessary, to provide you welfare and other entitlements to enslave the people.

To stop Buckwheat, you organize and begin by cleaning out the house where you live. Here’s one example:

Entire county board arrested following citizens arrest by 2 military veterans

This housecleaning is happening around the country.

The Founders left us a blueprint on how to fight tyranny. Read about the Committees of Safety.

The future of the Repulsican party hangs in the balance.

I predict the party will be deader than an Obamadork brain cell ten years from now.

The lickspittles in the MSM will ask Republicans about impeachment in order to discourage the GOP base and enrage the donkey Obamabots - any time that question comes up, Republican politicians need to turn that question to the Democrats: “It’s clear that Obama has violated his oath in his actions on immigration, but a vote on impeachment will just divide the country until the Democrats acknowledge that fact, since the Senate would just vote down any action. As soon as some Democrat senators cease defending this illegality and call for impeachment, we’ll oblige them; as long as they insist on putting party before country, impeachment is just an empty gesture. If you media people want an answer to this question, go talk to the Democrats in the Senate.”
