Impeach

         Impeachment of President Barack Hussein Obama with a guilty verdict in a Senate trial would be more than difficult and maybe not even possible but it has to be pursued. Joe Biden as our President would.... well just the thought of it is enough to make you weep. Even just facing impeachment would quite likely send Barack Obama into an even more deliberate destructive mode towards our Constitution, our heritage and even the defense of our nation. It's gets worse. Our enemies know very well the window of opportunity they have. Impeachment proceedings might even force their hand.
         There is no truth and no law with this president. Our chief law enforcement officer mocks the very concept of law. Radicals roam the White House corridors. The President makes political appointments that end with disaster and is weakening our military and the morale of those who serve. He is a destroyer and golfs and parties while he plies his trade..
         Impeachment proceedings need to begin because there is no choice but that doesn't mean that good might not come of it. For one thing, doing that which is right is a reward in itself and the right thing is to attempt to protect our Constitution. It may just be that a trial will wake the American people up by giving them information that our media refuses to give. Barack Obama may elude conviction but with that might come a convicted American public....convicted inwardly of extreme negligence as citizens and as parents!
       
         The following is a book review from last February. It details the impeachment trial of Bill Clinton. I wrote in this post, "And don't even think about impeaching Barack Obama without studying what happened with Bill Clinton...." Read it but don't let it dissuade you.

Catching Our Flag    

          It seems like two or three times a year I come across a book that I can't put down. Paul Kengor's Dupes was one of those books and Mark Levin's Liberty And Tyranny another to mention just two. Well, I came across the latest a few days ago. I somehow missed it when it came out in 2011. Congressman James E. Rogan was one of the House Managers in Bill Clinton's impeachment. He kept a daily journal during those proceedings for the purpose of getting it right if called upon to recount those days. Joseph Farah and WorldNetDaily (WND Books) called and James Rogan's testimony on this will be invaluable if impeachment proceedings are brought against this current president. The book is Catching our Flag, Behind The Scenes of a Presidential Impeachment.
          First of all, the book is extremely easy to read. The journal entries are in bold print and the author's commentary takes the reader right into the many formal and informal meetings of the House's decision to impeach and the Senate's decision to abort. Dozens of characters that we mostly know from press clippings such as Henry Hyde come alive. There are personal stories everywhere. Sonny Bono shows up. He wasn't a key player in this drama but he was a good friend of the author. I'll give you one anecdote. Both the author and Sonny Bono came from rough backgrounds and wound up in the United States House of Representatives. One day as they were in that chamber, Sonny looked around at where, as he described, Lincoln, Webster, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon and Ford served and commented to Jim Rogan, "Here you are-a guy who used to bartend on the Sunset Strip. Here I am-a guy who used to drive a meat truck on the Sunset Strip. Don't you ever look around this chamber and wonder how.... we ever got here?" Rogan responded "Sonny, I sit here all the time, look around this chamber and wonder how....you ever got here. I know how I got here....I went to law school."
         So, is this just a good book to read... a walk down memory lane if you're old enough to remember those days? No, it's more like cardiopulmonary resuscitation directions as Uncle Sam lies in the Capitol Rotunda clutching his heart. Folks, please read this book! President William Jefferson Clinton should have been convicted in impeachment and Hillary Clinton should never have been given a free pass. Read in this book of the charges that should have been brought to the impeachment trial. Read of a United States Senate that will make you want to vomit your last meal. Read about the few real American heroes that were in our Congress and read of the ones that let all of us down. This book should be read in political science classes and law schools. And don't even think about impeaching Barack Obama without studying what happened with Bill Clinton for David Axelrod probably read it and took copious notes. I'll leave you with this quote on the House's failed attempt to have a legitimate trial in the Senate: "As the record now shows, we 'tried' our case on their terms. The Senate refused to allow us to call a single live witness. There was no direct or cross-examination. This scripted procedure preordained the exoneration of President Clinton. It was no trial, in any meaningful sense of the word. Yet today, every history book and public account records that Clinton won acquittal after a Senate impeachment 'trial'."
