George Orwell said that in a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act. Republican congressman Brian Babin is new to Congress, and this dentist from Woodvine, Texas radiates a love for country while worrying for his grandchildren when he sees the sorry state of our federal government.
But Babin is unafraid to speak clearly, and Washington should listen to what he has to say.

Correct. Since CONgre$$ won’t act, they and Obama deserve much worse for plundering the republic into undeclared bankruptcy and relegating us, our children and grandchildren to debt slavery
Socialism Is Legal Plunder
The Results of Legal Plunder
It is impossible to introduce into society a greater change and a greater evil than this: the conversion of the law into an instrument of plunder.

6. But the grand nostrum will be a public debt
7. It must not be forgotten that the members of the legislative body are to have a deep stake in the game.
10. “Divide and govern”
11. As soon as sufficient progress in the intended change shall have been made, and the public mind duly prepared according to the rules already laid down, it will be proper to venture on another and a bolder step toward a removal of the constitutional landmarks.

Absent impeachment Brian Babin, here’s something your and your colleagues could accomplish...
Reverse that clock. After all YOU...are responsible now. Put OUR money where your mouth is.
—That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness
Rep. Babin is absolutely right. I can think of at least 5 or 6 counts.
Exactly. And if you're unsuccessful, you go down with your integrity intact.
That’s right.
You are not going to win every fight.
What matters though is that we fight for what is right. Every single time.
That way any opponent knows they are ever not going to steam roll us.
And we won’t win any fights by not fighting at all.
And not only are we not fighting at all, it appears that our side has joined their ranks.
It’s fun calling him a lame duck because it drives the leftists nuts.
And yes you do what is right when it’s right, but if you want to be able to keep doing what is right years down the road, you use discretion where it is warranted.
Obama is the GOP’s best weapon because he is so ineffective and incompetent.
Go for it - it’s a waste of time and energy unless you think you’re going to convince the right number of Democrat Senators to convict on the charges.
It won’t happen and hopefully the House GOP knows this to the point they won’t waste the political capital and instead continue to show how Obama is incompetent.
This can work if they play their cards right. It’s about 2016 and beyond now....
The next President would need to strip him of his immunity to prosecution....or maybe it would be Congress....but that opens up a whole can of worms and I very seriously doubt it would be high on any incoming Presidential agenda.
Then shut up and do it. File articles of impeachment and force the House to go on the record.
I can’t agree.
I can do what’s right anytime I’m presented with the option of doing what is right or doing what is wrong.
Further, Obama is not ineffective or incompetent. The GOP is.
The GOP does not even know how to use any sort of weapon, politically speaking, except against conservatives, which it hates.
Quite frankly, the only thing that the GOP has showed me in as long as I can even remember is that it is also leftist.
The GOP looks like they are leftist to anyone to the right of them. The GOP looks like they are far right to anyone to the left of them. Basically they are right stuck in the middle, which is why they are also ineffectual.
Obama IS incompetent. That doesn’t excuse or promote the GOP. They are entirely separate entities (something FR forgets when FR forms its every 2 years circular firing squad)....
But thankfully, the GOP sees that impeachment of the buffoon in the White House is a loser for them (and us conservatives) politically, which is why it won’t make it out of committee.
The man needs to be removed from office and has needed removal for a very long time now.
The fact that the GOP will not impeach him and the senate with its useless and parasitic inhabitants will not convict him means America and every citizen in her loses big time.
I do not gave a damn crap if the GOP loses anything at all, because the GOP is utterly without consequence or purpose other than to advance government.
Frankly, I do not see what difference it makes at all to you or me or anyone else if the GOP loses every election from here on out, which they deserve to do.
