We’re all too familiar with the pattern by now: His exultancy, the maximum Dear leader Obama the second, ruler of all and master of no responsibility will decree some outrageous and illegal act. This will be followed by the surrender monkeys of the GOPe almost getting into fist fights in a mad dash to be first to solemnly announce that once again, Impeachment is ‘off the table’.
And just as with any other rule breaking, the psychological science of operant conditioning applies. The result is an increase of a behavior that is rewarded and less for which is punished. Were the police to declare that arresting people for bank robbery is ‘off the table’… Katie bar the door of every bank in town, because there will be line of people stretching around the block waiting to rob the place.
Obama and other dictators of the past have done this because they’ve learned that there are no consequences to their early acts. And when people finally do wake up to the danger and try to impose consequences it’s too late, because the exalted leader will have too much power. Such as the people being for their political views cough IRS Cough or being under constant surveillance.. but that won’t happen here, right?
The slowly boiled frog’s goose is cooked (Please pardon my use of mixed metaphors)
So what will finally witness the GOPe changing their tune and finally take impeachment action? What will make them do a 180?
This issue was discussed on Rush as of late – and the basic contention was that the Constitution is based on the honor system. But what happens when you have a President who doesn’t have any honor? What happens when you have a president who doesn’t care for the country and would love to see it trashed?
The man is perfectly willing to steal from the taxpayers to buy votes, and please note that we were warned of this back at the nation’s founding:
“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until a majority of voters discover that they can vote themselves largess out of the public treasury.”
Alexander Tytler
“The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public’s money”. Alexis de Tocqueville
Consider that his excellency’s approval rating is 50% now that he’s talking about all the goodies he’s going to hand out?
Tyrants of the past have done the very same thing:
Fire sale TVs and Chavez-style theatrics heat up Venezuela vote November 21, 2013
http://news.yahoo.com/fire-sale-tvs-chavez-style-theatrics-heat-venezuela-131959081.html
CARACAS (Reuters) - Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro is firing up supporters for the upcoming mayors’ election through a theatrical confrontation with businesses that has showered voters with cheap consumer goods, echoing the style of late socialist leader Hugo Chavez.Venezuelans are flooding shops to snatch up discounted car parts, televisions and clothes since Maduro ordered businesses to slash prices in a gambit similar to the oil-financed pre-election largesse of the Chavez era, but with private merchants footing the bill.
New Holocaust Book, New Theory: How Germans Fell for the ‘Feel-Good’ Fuehrer
http://www.spiegel.de/international/new-holocaust-book-new-theory-how-germans-fell-for-the-feel-good-fuehrer-a-347726.html
A well-respected German historian has a radical new theory to explain a nagging question: Why did average Germans so heartily support the Nazis and Third Reich? Hitler, says Goetz Aly, was a “feel good dictator,” a leader who not only made Germans feel important, but also made sure they were well cared-for by the state.To do so, he gave them huge tax breaks and introduced social benefits that even today anchor the society. He also ensured that even in the last days of the war not a single German went hungry. Financing such home front “happiness” was not simple and Hitler essentially achieved it by robbing and murdering others, Aly claims. Jews. Slave laborers. Conquered lands. All offered tremendous opportunities for plunder, and the Nazis exploited it fully, he says.
Hitler and the socialist dream
http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/hitler-and-the-socialist-dream-1186455.html He declared that ‘national socialism was based on Marx’ Socialists have always disowned him. But a new book insists that he was, at heart, a left-winger
One can only imagine the plots and schemes of Dear Liar has in store for the nation – but let’s speculate to be in a sense forewarned and prepared.
1. More illegal executive order decrees on the invasion of illegals – let’s face it, the GOPe blew this big time – and many say On purpose to get some cheap labor for their donor class.
Expect more of the same now that Barack the illegitimate has set the precedent at 5 million – how many more will it be? 10, 20 million more? [How many more will the Communists need to tip the balance of power permanently to them?]
2. By the same token, those invaders aren’t much help to the nation’s socialist on the left IF they can’t vote for that sweet honey of taxpayer mola flowing from D.C
So, expect him to grant de facto citizenship to the criminal invaders, along will all kinds of goodies for the sake of ‘fairness’
3. And executive order essentially repealing parts or all of the Constitution – yeah sure, it sound outrageous now, but so did illegal executive amnesty a few months back.
And let’s be realistic, what to stop his highness from getting rid of the 2nd amendment by executive decree along with the 22nd amendment? [A 2 for 2 special, hey!]
By the same token, what’s to stop him from simply canceling elections?
This idea has been floated several times already – so given the right crisis and a compliant congress who’s to stop him?
What else will he do?
Good point - he’s already violated at least the sprite of the law if not the law itself.
... The man called Obama should suffer the fate of a traitor!
... Don't forget .... our President also paid 5 BILLION American taxpayer dollars to the Taliban in addition to releasing those 5 top Taliban commanders. That is 1 BILLION Dollars per commander ..... Some would call that Traitorous and Treasonous .... some would call that Illegal by Aiding and Abetting the Enemy of America to the highest degree!....
.... His leadership should be made null and void and should be hauled off in handcuffs and thrown into prison for what he has done!
This is the fact of the matter. As a black President he is almost completely impervious to impeachment because there is a substantial and realistic fear within both political parties that the blacks will tear the country apart.
Privately many Democrats acknowledge that he has crossed some lines of Presidential power but they are willing to overlook them because he will be out of power in two years.
It would take something like a decision not to surrender power by an election for both parties to vote for impeachment.
True. IMHO Obama,Holder,and Sharpton purposely stirred up the blacks in Ferguson, then NYC, and tried to nationwide to warn the Reps that blacks would or could riot if Obama was impeached.
Problem is I see a worsening ‘progression’ in Obama’s crimes – lawbreakers are only emboldened by getting away with their criminality.
It will only get worse from here on out, at some point the GOP will have to take action.
BTW, the man should have been impeached yesterday, but that’s just me.
That’s what I’m afraid of – either that or WWIII.
And most likely the reason gun sales are still on the way up.
With one possible exception. He will repeal the 2nd amendment if he can find a way. Just for symbolic value. The other amendments are routinely trashed, but they pretend you have free speech as they use government power to suppress it. They pretend you have 4th amendment search protection as they use self written national security letters instead of warrants. That is if they bother with a warrant at all. The NSA goes through your papers at will.
They ignore most of the constitution. But if they can find a way, I think they would love to publically end the 2nd amendment. SO that might be an exception.
The other ‘argument’ against impeachment often seen is that it “didn’t work” with Clinton and “only made him stronger”. Regardless of the veracity of those claims, 1998/99 was politically speaking, ancient history. Things have gotten so bad so fast, and since Obama’s crimes make Billy’s look like petty infractions, that this argument too isn’t applicable to the present predicament.
Obama should NOT suffer the fate of a traitor. He has always advanced the cause of Indonesia and Kenya loyally.
I say treat him like a prisoner of war.
Hah! Yeah just caught that misspelling, although, maybe Baited works here, because impeachment could be a trap.
I don’t think anyone is going to pursue impeachment when they can’t remove him from office.
A solid point! And I was just being a smartass :)
Impeachment is a long, drawn out process with no real consequences. Arrest and prosecution for crimes in a court os law is another matter. Bring Valerie Jarrett out of the shadows. Her fingerprints are all over the destruction of America as a superpower.
Who is going to force them?
I would take Biden over Obama in a NY minute. I don’t think Joe is evil but Barry and ,his brain, Jarrett are truly dangerous.
Biden has no pigment protection and is therefore NOT immune from impeachment or prosecution. He’d be held to account for his actions, unlike Barry.
When a President is friends with our enemies and an enemy to our friend .... does that make him a traitor?
The answer should be obvious on that score.
Given all we know now about what he has done, and knowing that is most likely the tip of the criminality Iceberg, I don’t see how the man doesn’t do time when it’s all said and done.
The crimes he’s perpetrated along with his comrades in the Demonrat National Communist Party will demand prison time.
The GOPe had better consider their actions from the standpoint of their historic legacy – they had better be darn sure his record is clean [doubtful], else the people will be going after them in NOT taking action at some point.
Collaborators are often treated worst than the perps.
Most likely he will have pulled his pen from his as… pocket at some point and issued one of his executive decrees that none of his subjects shall buy, transfer or hand over a gun or ammo or an SUV or anything he can think of without the Government’s express permission [That’s the true meaning of the concept of registration]
Oh, and thrown in some hefty taxation on top of that permission – after all, there a votes to be bought and those dollars aren’t going to print themselves!
And only after he’s lowered the boom and started the confiscation process will he once again whip out his pen and decree the 2nd amendment to be null and void.
