Pat Buchanan, former communications director to President Ronald Reagan, former presidential candidate and WND commentator, has come to the conclusion that a courageous Republican legislator should move a bill for impeachment of President Bush.
I reluctantly agree – and for the same reasons.
President Bush has had nearly six years in office to honor his oath of office and enforce immigration laws in this country.
He has not only failed, he has intentionally neglected this sworn duty, instead claiming he prefers to promote a vague immigration "reform" plan that involved a "guest worker" program that has served as an encouragement to the most massive influx of illegal immigration this country has ever seen.
Some will tell me this can't be done and that it is irresponsible to propose it because Bush is a wartime president.
My response? It is precisely because this nation finds itself in a desperate war declared by a formidable foe determined to use our open borders to destroy this country that we must act now.
Some will remind me I endorsed Bush just two years ago for re-election.
My response? I made it very clear at the time that I was not really endorsing Bush, per se, but seeking the only practical way to defeat his reckless and irresponsible and treasonous opponent. There is no contradiction here. Kerry had to be defeated. Now Bush must go. America can do better.
I don't agree with many of Pat Buchanan's foreign policy ideas. But on the border, he is 100 percent right. Bush has been a disaster. No matter how successful we might be in our campaigns in Iraq and Afghanistan, we can lose this war against jihadist Islam right here at home.
Our enemies have already used the open border to penetrate this country – and they will do so again.
When Bush placed the old Immigration and Naturalization Service under the new Department of Homeland Security, I actually believed he recognized how critical border security was to the defense of our homeland. I was fooled.
In the current issue of my premium, online, intelligence newsletter, G2 Bulletin, author Paul Williams recounts in extravagant detail how al-Qaida operatives have already used the open Mexican border not only to sneak operatives into the country but to smuggle in nuclear weapons with the help of the MS-13 (Mara Salvatrucha) street gang.
The fuse has been lit.
The war in Iraq, which I have supported, will mean little when, not if, a nuclear weapon is detonated inside our own country.
When that happens, we will no longer be having debates about who has more culpability for Sept. 11 – Bush or his predecessor. Bush has had ample opportunity to address the mistakes of the past. Instead, he has repeated them. They say hindsight is 20-20. Not for Bush.
Even if the border issue and the tsunami of illegal immigration was not strictly speaking the No. 1 national security issue we face, enforcing the laws of the land would be the right thing to do – the only moral and right thing to do.
Americans are dealing with more joblessness, higher crime, skyrocketing taxes, a crippled medical system, overcrowded jails, an overburdened judicial and law enforcement system, costly and divisive language barriers and changing demographics that are permanently transforming the U.S. culture.
Why?
Bush claims it is because America needs cheap labor. That's what the law of supply and demand is all about. It's not his duty or responsibility to acquire workers for big corporations and other fat cats below what the market will support.
I don't even believe Bush is being honest when he makes this argument. I am convinced there are international agreements behind this. I am persuaded the systematic destruction of the American way of life through uncontrolled and illegal immigration is part of a master plan for merger and global consolidation – first with our neighbors in this hemisphere and later worldwide.
This secretive plot must end here and now.
America was founded on the principle of independence and sovereignty. The president is betraying our most sacred national heritage.
Bush is ignoring the will of the people and he is violating the law of the land.
It's time to turn up the heat.
As Buchanan suggested: Will even one courageous Republican member of Congress have the guts to sponsor a bill of impeachment?
Go read a whole lot of history, regarding this matter and maybe then, maybe, we can discuss this; but not before.
Specifically, what problem is 100 years old? Are you referring to the impact on our hospitals, jails, schools, traffic, crime, social services etc?
I don't have the time for that. See the post above.
Lets play.......
My bite isn't that brutal. Don't want to play? That's OK.
That sound's cute, and all, but it's in reality it's a personal attack. Any time you want to mix it up with me, just ping me. I'll accommodated you.
I knew there was a reason why I removed World Net Daily from my browser bookmarks. Farah is certifiable. Somebody needs to get him some thorazine. Is there a doctor on the forum?
I've repeated told you that you ate playing games and that I refuse to do so. Then I said that you'll have to play with yourself and THAT's a "personal attack"? ROTFLMSO
You really are arrogant and need help with reading comprehension. ;^)
Specifically, what problem is 100 years old? Are you referring to the nearly unrecoverable impact on our hospitals, jails, schools, traffic, crime, social services etc? Millions were not pouring in illegally, every single year in the 1950s. Everyone knows this.
During the early 1950s, for example, things were so bad, that even Hollywood knew about it and made a movie ( fiction, but based on fact! ) about it. Pancho Villa,
The movie Pancho Villa? The 1950s? You can't be serious.
in the early part of the 20th century, made raids into the USA and committed crimes. Then I said that you'll have to play with yourself
Can you drop the vulgar suggestions and personal attacks and just deal with current reality?
Do you actually think what is going on today is like the 1950s? Did you live in this country in the 1950s? It was like a golden paradise compared to what is happening right now, today in America.
And I am more than confident, if all the members of this site were polled, they would agree with me, not you.
>Calling for the impeachment of a wartime president. Unbelievable.<
Let's not forget, our nation is now under an unprecedented strain, seeing as how we're dealing with the worst catastrophe to hit our country in a generation or more.
Farah is the worst kind of fool.
Speaking from personal experience, swampy?
The Morris Dees marching band shows up to play its little song.
Hunh. That must explain why Blackjack Pershing was chasing Pancho Villa back across the border during WWI. And why Dwight Eisenhower had a deportation program called Operation Wetback. You need to answer your own question:
Are you really THAT stupid or just pretending to be?
If every illegal alien in America were to bail one giant slurpy cup of water from New Orleans, the city'd be dry in....what? 10 minutes?
In fact the Postwar American economy boomed throughout the 50s, with only one minor recession in 1958. You're posting nonsense.
It was very slow growing during the overall period without major recession that is true.
Criminals like ole Pancho band of thieves were pretty unique.
Ike's program was small potatoes.
"Ike's program was small potatoes."
Right. Especially the Interstate highway system.
That wasn't the topic.
