But since the "Slaughter Solution", I have changed my mind. I agree with Jeffrey Kuhner—barring, of course any arcane nuance of the Constitution of which I am unaware...
"Mr. Obama is willing to devour his presidency, his party's congressional majority and - most disturbing - our democratic institutional safeguards to enact it. He is a reckless ideologue who is willing to sacrifice the country's stability in pursuit of a socialist utopia.
The Slaughter Solution is a poisoned chalice. By drinking from it, the Democrats would not only commit political suicide. They would guarantee that any bill signed by Mr. Obama is illegitimate, illegal and blatantly unconstitutional. It would be worse than a strategic blunder; it would be a crime - a moral crime against the American people and a direct abrogation of the Constitution and our very democracy.
It would open Mr. Obama, as well as key congressional leaders such as Mrs. Pelosi, to impeachment. The Slaughter Solution would replace the rule of law with arbitrary one-party rule. It violates the entire basis of our constitutional government - meeting the threshold of "high crimes and misdemeanors." If it's enacted, Republicans should campaign for the November elections not only on repealing Obamacare, but on removing Mr. Obama and his gang of leftist thugs from office."

Hi Gunny,
ReplyDeleteg'day from Chicago gal in NZ.
I'd vote for impeachment. Can we do it now?
If you haven't seen this blog, you might want to check out NewZeal.blogspot.com by Trevor L.
Trevor is a patriot - a researcher in New Zealand! He has lots of interesting information and today's post is:
"Why President Obama and His Marxist Allies are Pushing Socialized Healthcare".
Trevor has tied it to BHO's communist connections - and has put his information into wiki pages.

ReplyDeleteYep, concur. Sadly I've got to say 'unfortunately' it looks like the Dem's are finally realizing that, and are going to bring the bill to a full vote tomorrow.
Still... it's a ridiculous abuse. I put a post up this morning, asking few questions such as,
"Why was there a constitutional amendment, the 18th, passed to prohibit the manufacture and sale of alcohol? There clearly was a majority of members in congress who supported it... why bother with a constitutional amendment? There clearly was a vast majority of people in congress and in the nation, who felt it was the Right thing to do... it was the right thing to do to protect individuals from themselves, and to protect families... and the children! Why not just pass a law and DO it? Why bother with a constitutional amendment?"
Clearly, if congress didn't feel it had the power to do what it wanted to do and needed a constitutional amendment in order to ban a behavior and substance, one is required to force the entire population to purchase a service, and to force business to provide an approved form of that service.
Now, and building up to November 2010, is the time to rise up and demand, as I said in my post, ref'ing an excellent article (Thanks Yabu!),
"In other words, we no longer have a nation of laws, but of the whims of men - in other words in the view of our imperial congress and its king, "U.S. Constitution poses no serious threat to our form of government" - in other words, Tyranny has come to the Unites States of America. Or in even other words, as it is stated in an excellent article forwarded to me by Jabu, "How Tyranny Came to America", the modern congress sees the Constitution as a serous threat to its form of government."
As long as we have the power and ability to communicate and organize, via Press, TV, Talk Radio & the .Net, it can still be accomplished peacefully. Keep a close eye on the legislation pending against each of those media.
