The Impeachment of President Obama

I've been all over the spectrum on the possible impeachment of President Obama.  A case could be made for abuse of power.  Now, it may be true he has not had as many executive orders issued as President George W. Bush.  But, in Obama's case, he has changed law (his own health care policy) to establishing law (Deferred Action for Dreamers) to not enforcing the law (Immigration Enforcement Act of 1986) already on the books.  He swore an oath to uphold and enforce the laws of the land.  He did not swear an oath to uphold the laws he likes.  He swore an oath to uphold THE laws (U.S. Constitution) of the nation.  There are not "ifs, buts, or whats" in that oath.  Let's take a quick look at the oath President Obama took:

Paul Ryan Possible Presidential Run 2016

As if the Republican field for the Republican Presidential run isn't already crowded, Congressman Paul Ryan from Wisconsin is hinting at a possible run in 2016.  The former 2012 Republican VP candidate, told the Des Moines Register in a telephone interview on Monday that “I’m going to give a hard look at it.” in regard to the 2016 Presidential campaign.

House Defunds Obamacare

As everyone must know by now, the House sent a bill to the Senate authorizing funding until December 15.  Of course, the Senate must decide if they will strip out the provisions in the bill that defund the Democrats pride and joy, Obamacare.  The House Republicans will then have to decide if they will accept the bill at that point.  As it stands now, all government funding will run out on September 30th.  Unless some kind of compromise is reached, the government supposedly will shutdown on October 1.  All in all, it points to another showdown between Democrats and Republicans over the most controversial legislation since Social Security payments were first made.

Illegal Aliens Continue to Cross Border

It seems we have been down this road before.  Illegal aliens crossing the border into the USA is nothing new.  It seems those south of the USA think they have this God-given right to come here by any method necessary to assure themselves a piece of the welfare pie.  Jobs are thought to be the major attraction for illegal aliens.  But, if people will be honest with themselves, they will admit that social services such as "free" food stamps, welfare, social security benefits for anchor babies are the big attraction.  With that thought in mind, it is no surprise to me to learn that illegal aliens and drug smugglers have doubled since two things have taken place.  One, Sequestration , is the easy pick as the blame for out of control border activity.  The Obama administration thinks we are dumb enough  to think $85 billion loss of spending is going to cause untold disasters domestically and internationally.  Of course, cutting back border patrol agent hours is another excuse for Obama to continue his war on America.  Secondly, most importantly, the talk of amnesty in a new immigration law package has potential illegals all over Central America salivating.  Border Patrol agents are saying illegal crossings have doubled and possibly even tripled as Congress rushes to push through another unenforceable immigration law package they have no intention of enforcing except to give a "path to citizenship" aka amnesty to illegals.

It the report linked above is true, there will be hours of the day when the border will not be patrolled at all.  Does anyone think that illegals will not increase now?  Obama wants to blame this on Sequestration.  This is just an excuse by the Obama Administration.  Obama has no intention of enforcing border security.  The Democratic Party is pinning their hopes on illegals getting amnesty and citizenship as a result.  Republicans, fools that they are, think that Hispanics will vote for them if they support amnesty.  The GOP is about to commit political suicide.  As  a result, the USA will eventually become nothing more than a third-world country.  There is no serious debate on allowing a path to citizenship to illegals who broke our laws.  Our political leaders don't want a debate.  They just want to make this a law "so they can see what is inside the bill," as Nancy Pelosi so famously said once. Meanwhile, the border remains as lawless as ever.  Who knows what is coming across that border now? 

Republicans Are Cowards

A provocative statement, you may say, in stating Republicans are cowards.  Perhaps.  But, all evidence aside to prove my argument, there can be no other conclusion made about the current state of affairs in the Republican Party.  As soon as it became official that President Obama had been reelected, Speaker of the House, John Boehner, was basically laying the framework for terms of surrender.  He felt that the fiscal cliff issue could be dealt with, the debt ceiling, gun control and, of course, illegal immigration.  Since the election, Obama has been setting the tone of what will be the "Crisis of the Month" in order to get his way.  Perhaps Republicans are wary of Obama issuing more executive orders.  That is another bone of contention.  How can Republicans sit idly by when he basically took immigration away from Congress by allowing the so-called "Dreamers" to stay and go to school at U.S. Taxpayer expense?  Was there even a lawsuit filed or injunction filed to fight the President on this by Republicans?  To my knowledge, no, Republicans did nothing.  On the Fiscal Cliff deal, Republicans gave Obama 90% of all he asked for in that fight.  The Debt Ceiling is an ongoing battle.  Republicans are showing no real leadership in dealing with the most Left-wing President this nation has ever known.  Obama's out of control spending will haunt this country for decades, long after he and all his merry henchmen in the Democratic Party are out of office.  Then there is "comprehensive immigration reform" (CIR) aka Amnesty.

After the November elections, Republicans recoiled in terror over the idea of Obama getting 70% of the hispanic vote.  Democrats have always done well in this voting bloc.  They always will.  So, cowards that they are, instead of standing on principle and the rule of law, Republicans are now becoming Democrats on the idea of CIR.  Hispanics have been voting in record numbers each time since the Reagan Amnesty in the mid-80s.  There were promises of border enforcement then also.  So, Republicans have this idea, if we give hispanics ANOTHER amnesty, maybe they will start voting for them.  Not a chance in hell that will ever happen.  Hispanics are disproportionately low-income and disproportionately likely to receive some form of government support. More than half of hispanics are born out of wedlock.  In short, they resemble most of the voting blocs that have helped Democrats for decades now.  They will never vote for someone who wants smaller government and less welfare.  Those are facts that neither Republicans or Democrats want to talk about.  Now, it would be wrong to say ALL hispanics are generational welfare recipients who live off the government dole.   But, the main point here is that the majority of hispanics will never vote Republican.  It is sheer fantasy to think they ever will.  Republicans must know this.  So, why don't they say they want the current immigration laws enforced instead of dealing with another amnesty?  Because people like John Boeher, Eric Cantor et all, are all cowards.  They refuse to stand up for principles of the Republican Party.  Instead they want to beome the Democrats alter ego now.

Twenty years from now, if someone wants to trace the total demise, the irrelevancy of the GOP, they can go back to November 7, 2012.  On that day, Republicans grew a giant yellow streak. Instead of being the party that stood for the rule of law, instead of a party of principle, let it be remembered the Republican Party decided that for their own self interests, it would be better to be Democrat-lite than be what the Republicans were known to be about at one time; less government, less taxes, more freedom.  Neither party cares about the American people.  It is time we all understand that.
