I hope you realize that we only have the House, which can impeach him, but it takes the Senate to remove him from Office. You are delusional if you think that Harry Reid will agree with the Republicans on this

(Art.) I don't think traditional politics has anything to do with why Obama's doing this.

Obama just pissed all over the Constitution — again.

He isn't "dishonoring" it as much as he is liquidating it, systematically destroying the authority of the Constitution -- to an end.

The end game is, Obama gets his revolution, and all these guys -- the mediabots, Rush, you, me -- go to the death camps.

Ayers said it -- 25,000,000 Americans go away and don't come back. That was when the country's population was 190,000,000. Now it's what, 310,000,000? Adjust for inflation.

This guy Obama is megadeath waiting to happen, waiting to drop the hammer on us. He and his friends are authentic Stalinist Communists, and nobody sees it except Rush, and even he can't say "Communist" because the MSM inoculated Communists long ago, in the McCarthy takedown. Anyone who says "Communist" now is a crank, a McCarthy wannabee, a witch-hunter wannabee in a bad suit and a funny haircut.

But McCarthy was right, and the Reds won.

...under what law will they be prosecuted?

The law of an "random" IRS tax audit. The guilty till proven innocent type.

I am well aware that we only have the House. My comment was more along the lines of complaining about the R’s not being more vocal against Obama. I am not delusional, thanks for your concern.

He sure was right and they sure did win. Communist FDR and all of the rest of them are celebrating in their graves.

[Toespi] “Why are the republicans allowing this creep to stay in office?”

They’re scared to be called racist...and they have no cojones.

No, not quite -- unfortunately.

They're letting him rip and run because he's doing their work, too, as was pointed out the other day by FReeper Kenny Bunk.

Obamacare takes private healthcare away -- and gets employer-paid health plans off the balance sheets of thousands of employers. This has been a major goal of top S&P 500 managements for at least five, more like 10-15 years.

So they don't care what else Obamacare does; it reduces their costs.

Second, Obama in office takes the blame for economic underperformance (the only thing RiNO's and Business Wing GOP'ers care about), while the congressional RiNO's quietly guard business interests and work to increase their seats in Congress.

As long as Obama is in office, extending and deepening the Depression, the RiNO's are good with that. They think he'll take the blame.

What is the unseen risk (for them) is that Obama will wind up shooting them all instead. Or maybe he'll only shoot us, and come to an "arrangement" with them. Either way, the S&P captains will be worse off, but they don't see that now; their hubris and cocksure managerial brio blinds them to a possibly very unpleasant outcome.

You've been out of the loop:

"...Folks, I don't think any longer it is improper to use the word "communist" to describe Obama, communism to describe his objectives, nor is it wrong to use the word "communist" or "communism" to associate with the trade labor movement, be it the AFL-CIO or the mine workers or the SEIU. I mean they've made it clear, Obama came out of the closet. We called him out. We set the arena. Obama is now playing in our arena, not the Republican Party's arena..." ~ Rush Limbaugh, December 08, 2011

The government?

This was a diktat from our new emperor. When does a president get power to make and change law?

“... It is universally admitted that a well-instructed people alone can be permanently free.”

The problem is our youth have been instructed by Bill Ayers and his Ilk.

“I, BHO, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and I will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States.”

How do we know thats what he said when he had to take the oath the second time?

He has been constantly peeing on the constitution for years and shows no sings of letting up.

He must have the world’s largest bladder to be able to do this.

No, I saw that Rush comment, and I saw it as a call to other conservatives to start calling Obama what he is, a Communist. But Rush hasn't reiterated that language, apparently he didn't get the takers, and so he's back to having to say the same thing in other words, to paraphrasing and circumlocution. I'm sure he sees and says the reality, and it's no mystery to him. But the fail is still strong in public perceptions, and the dark befuddlement conjured by the LieStreamMedia is still working on the public.

I think it's still true that, if you use words like "Communist" to describe Obozo, well-meaning people who aren't clued by Rush or Savage or Levin or someone, will be susceptible to the psych failing called "transference", in which the hard truth, the onus of guilt, is transferred back to the speaker -- to you -- and you are perceived as the social compact-breaker, the bad actor, rather than the person you're trying to warn people about.

Communists have used that one forever, because it works.

No, it’s not about contraception, but contraception and an attack on Catholics are what have woken some people up.

I belong to a pro-life group that is about half Catholic. Suddenly they are up in arms. What about NDAA? Isn’t that much more of a threat? People are still living in a world of identity politics, where you don’t really care until your ox is gored.

I now wear my “LEGALIZE THE CONSTITUTION” button everywhere. I actually get evil looks from some of the people in my neighborhood but they can’t say a word.

Ann Bancroft said it best:

Barack Obama and his regime are a collective anti-christ from the pit of hell itself. You priests and bishops need to wake the hell up and get this through your thick skulls. YOU DON'T COMPROMISE WITH EVIL. You don't DIALOG WITH SATAN. YOU DON'T PLAY POLITICS AND NEGOTIATE WITH A DEMON. You hoist the banner of Christ, fix your bayonet and charge that son of a bitch with every ounce of strength you have, and then you fight until either the enemy is totally defeated, or you are dead. That's your choice, gentlemen. That's your VOCATION. The war is begun. You either fight OR SHUT UP AND GET THE HELL OUT OF THE WAY, and then beg God to have mercy on your pathetic, faithless, cowardly ass whilst others take up your slack and die in your stead.
