President's socialist takeover must be stopped
By Jeffrey T. Kuhner
The Washington Times
President Obama has engaged in numerous high crimes and misdemeanors. The
Democratic majority in Congress is in peril as Americans reject his agenda. Yet
more must be done: Mr. Obama should be impeached.
He is slowly - piece by painful piece - erecting a socialist dictatorship. We
are not there - yet. But he is putting America on that dangerous path. He is
undermining our constitutional system of checks and balances; subverting
democratic procedures and the rule of law; presiding over a corrupt, gangster
regime; and assaulting the very pillars of traditional capitalism. Like
Venezuela 's leftist strongman, Hugo Chavez, Mr. Obama is bent on imposing a
revolution from above - one that is polarizing America along racial, political
and ideological lines. Mr. Obama is the most divisive president since Richard
Nixon. His policies are Balkanizing the country. It's time for him to go.
He has abused his office and violated his oath to uphold the Constitution. His
health care overhaul was rammed through Congress. It was - and remains - opposed
by a majority of the people. It could only be passed through bribery and
political intimidation. The Louisiana Purchase, the Cornhusker Kickback, the $5
billion Medicaid set-aside for Florida Sen. Bill Nelson - taxpayer money was
used as a virtual slush fund to buy swing votes. Moreover, the law is blatantly
unconstitutional: The federal government does not have the right to coerce every
citizen to purchase a good or service. This is not in the Constitution, and it
represents an unprecedented expansion of power.
Yet Obamacare's most pernicious aspect is its federal funding of abortion.
Pro-lifers are now compelled to have their tax dollars used to subsidize
insurance plans that allow for the murder of unborn children. This is more than
state-sanctioned infanticide. It violates the conscience rights of religious
citizens. Traditionalists - evangelicals, Catholics, Baptists, Muslims, Orthodox
Jews - have been made complicit in an abomination that goes against their
deepest religious values. As the law is implemented (as in Pennsylvania ) the
consequences of the abortion provisions will become increasingly apparent. The
result will be a cultural civil war. Pro-lifers will become deeply alienated
from society; among many, a secession of the heart is taking place.
I would add that, he has also granted hundreds of waivers to groups,
organizations and companies that supported his canidacy, who claimed hardship if
not excluded from Obamacare. dwr
Mr. Obama is waging a frontal assault on property rights. The BP oil spill is a
case in point. BP clearly is responsible for the spill and its massive economic
and environmental damage to the Gulf. There is a legal process for claims to be
adjudicated, but Mr. Obama has behaved more like Mr. Chavez or Russia 's
Vladimir Putin: He has bullied BP into setting up a $20 billion compensation
fund administered by an Obama appointee. In other words, the assets of a private
company are to be raided to serve a political agenda. Billions will be dispensed
arbitrarily in compensation to oil-spill victims - much of it to Democratic
constituents. This is cronyism and creeping authoritarianism.
Mr. Obama's multicultural socialism seeks to eradicate traditional America . He
has created a command-and-control health care system. He has essentially
nationalized the big banks, the financial sector, the automakers and the student
loan industry. He next wants to pass "cap-and-trade," which would bring industry
and manufacturing under the heel of big government. The state is intervening in
every aspect of American life - beyond its constitutionally delegated bounds.
Under Mr. Obama, the Constitution has become a meaningless scrap of paper.
To provide the shock troops for his socialist takeover, Mr. Obama calls for
"comprehensive immigration reform" - granting amnesty to 12 million to 20
million illegal aliens. This would forge a permanent Democratic electoral
majority. It would sound the death knell for our national sovereignty. Amnesty
rewards lawlessness and criminal behavior; it signifies the surrender of our
porous southern border to a massive illegal invasion. It means the death of
American nationhood. We will no longer be a country, but the colony of a global
socialist empire.
Rather than defending our homeland, Mr. Obama's Justice Department has sued
Arizona for its immigration law. He is siding with criminals against his fellow
Americans. His actions desecrate his constitutional oath to protect U.S.
citizens from enemies foreign and domestic. He is thus encouraging more illegal
immigration as Washington refuses to protect our borders. Mr. Obama's decision
on this case is treasonous.
As president, he is supposed to respect the rule of law. Instead, his
administration has dropped charges of voter intimidation against members of the
New Black Panther Party. This was done even though their menacing behavior was
caught on tape: men in military garb brandishing clubs and threatening whites at
a polling site. A Justice Department lawyer intimately involved in the case, J.
Christian Adams, resigned in protest. Mr. Adams says that under Mr. Obama, there
is a new policy: Cases involving black defendants and white victims - no matter
how much they cry for justice - are not to be prosecuted. This is more than
institutionalized racism. It is an abrogation of civil rights laws. The Justice
Department's behavior is illegal. It poses a direct threat to the integrity of
our democracy and the sanctity of our electoral process.
The gun running of "fast and furious" and continueing attempt to cover up, pass
the blame and hide from the responsibility by Obama and Holder is indicitave of
Obama's ignoring the Constitution and his lawlessness. It was undoubtedly an
effort to create a public outcry for more gun control. In my opinion, his plan
also was to cause chaos for the Mexican citizens by letting the guns go into the
drug cartels' hands and terrorize the Mexican citizens. Forcing them to flee
north across the border. Which would create a need for a refugee program for the
fleeing Mexicans. Hence, an urgent need for amnesty for the sudden influx of
illegal immigrants. dwr.
Corruption in the administration is rampant. Washington no longer has a
government; rather, it has a gangster regime. The Chicago way has become the
Washington way. Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel is a political hit man.. He is an
amoral, ruthless operator. It was Mr. Emanuel who reached out to Rep. Joe Sestak,
Pennsylvania Democrat, offering a high-ranking job in the hopes of persuading
Mr. Sestak to pull out of the primary against Sen. Arlen Specter. It was Mr.
Emanuel who offered another government position to Andrew Romanoff to do the
same in the Colorado Democratic Senate primary. And it was Mr. Emanuel - as the
trial of former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich has revealed - who acted as the
go-between to try to have Valerie Jarrett parachuted into Mr. Obama's former
Senate seat. The only question was: What did Mr. Blagojevich want in exchange?
This is not simply sleazy Chicago machine politics. It is the systematic
breaking of the law - bribery, attempt to interfere (and manipulate) elections
using taxpayer-funded jobs, influence peddling and abuse of power.
The common misperception on the right is that Mr. Obama is another Jimmy Carter:
an incompetent liberal whose presidency is being reduced to rubble under the
onslaught of repeated failures. The very opposite, however, is true. He is the
most consequential president in our lifetime, transforming America into
something our Founding Fathers would find not only unrecognizable, but
repugnant. Like all radical revolutionaries, he is consumed by the pursuit of
power - attaining it, wielding it and maximizing it. Mr.. Obama's fledgling thug
state must be stopped.
It is more crucial now than ever that the leadership in the House instigate a
committee to investigate every aspect of Obama's administration, his cabinet and
his czars. He will stop at nothing, we the people should stop at nothing and
turn over every stone Obama has placed to bury our Constitution. dwr.
If Republicans win back Congress in November, they should - and likely will -
launch formal investigations into this criminal, scandal-ridden administration.
Rep. Darrell Issa, California Republican and ranking member of the Oversight and
Government Reform Committee, has promised as much. Mr. Obama has betrayed the
American people. Impeachment is the only answer. This usurper must fall.
