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
don e: 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 candidacy, 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 continuing attempt to cover up, pass the blame and hide from the
responsibility by Obama and Holder is indicative 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.
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.
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.
