‘Impeach the President’
RedState ^ | Feb 12, 2014 | By: Erick Erickson

Posted on 02/12/2014 11:20:34 AM PST by Jim Robinson

You guys in the press who are reading this right now can be such shameless whores. I generally try to hold to the standard these days that if I wouldn’t be outraged by George Chimpy McBushitler Halliburton and Darth Cheney doing something, I shouldn’t be outraged by President Obama. And if I’d be outraged by Bush, I should be outraged by Obama.

But you journalists have such erections for everything Barack Obama does, you can’t even summon outrage to report fairly on the latest b.s. from the administration over Obamacare. Is it any wonder so many people have stopped trusting you?

Under the latest round of Obamacare delays for companies of 50 to 99 employees, companies who embrace the delay can layoff, restructure, and hire part time workers, but only if they swear to the IRS they are not doing so because of Obamacare. This comes on the heels of a much touted CBO report that finds only anecdotal evidence of a shift to part-time work now, but expects a shift in labor among small businesses in 2015.

If George W. Bush had done that, Dan Rather would be marching on the White House with a pitch fork. Tom Browkaw would be calling for his head on a platter. Andrea Mitchell of that anti-Bush site would be calling for his impeachment. CNN would be interviewing Cindy Sheehan about the boundaries crossed by George and Dick. And — spare me the rebuttals — you know damn well the story wouldn’t be done in passing, but would be wall to wall coverage with your legal analysts, economists, and sour faced anchors all tut-tutting for several days.

“On what legal authority?” you guys would ponder. “Won’t businesses just turn to lying,” you’d speculate...

This is THE central issue for the 2014 Election.

Obamacare is just the thing that B. Hussein Soetoro-Obama built.

But, yes, Erick, we do need to impeach the pResident. If ever a corrupt, lying, overstepping, constitution violating president needed impeachment, it is Obama.

Hussein wants to force the busineses which lay off or give part-time to workers, to not be able to tell the truth about it-that’s it’s thanks to CommieCare. He wants to force them to be part pf the propaganda, at their and their employees own expense. Someone needs to file suit about this, this is just Stalinist.

“Won’t businesses just turn to lying,” you’d speculate...

And you’d be right. Thus, virtue is corroded from
above. Once eaten away, what would be next?

Aside from the fact that this is effectively a “loyalty oath” to government policy, how can one separate decisions based on unprofitability caused by the law from decisions motivated by the law?

How would one distinguish between “I fired them because my company would have been unprofitable,” and “Obamacare was the reason I fired them—because of the hit to profitability.”

Another problem here is that no court would ever analyze an individual case until “harm was done”—that’s the issue of standing. Meanwhile, the IRS, without any court supervision, could hassle thousands of businessmen. Would I be paranoid in thinking they might check their politics in selecting who to bother?

Here's your answer:

We're after power and we mean it. You fellows were pikers, but we know the real trick, and you'd better get wise to it. There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them...you create a nation of lawbreakers – and then you cash in on guilt. Now that's the system, Mr. Rearden."

Yup. Obama lied, people died.

And he continues lying about ObamaCare and as the death panels and rationing kick-in, thousands upon thousands more are going to die.

It’s already happening as millions are losing their jobs and or their current insurance policies and doctors due directly to ObamaCare and Obama’s lies.

“In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, not to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is...in some small way to become evil oneself. One's standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to.”
― Theodore Dalrymple

Wouldn’t just impeach the president. I’d like to also see numerous members of congress and the judiciary in the slammer too. This is a major conspiracy to trample on the Constitution, erode the rights of our citizens and turn this once great nation into a third rate banana republic. It’s treason and members of both parties are complicit.

Impeaching Obama won’t get it gone. The 82nd Airborne landing on the White House roof would, but that doesn’t seem to be in the cards.
