Random Thoughts for August, 2014
Robert A. Hall
When a majority of Americans no longer willing to support America, but expect America to support them, we shall
cease to be a free people. That day isn't quite here--but I can see it from my
back porch.
As a Republican who voted against Obama twice, I think the
talk of impeaching him is just dumb. Have we forgotten how the impeachment of
Bill Clinton allowed the media and Democrats too picture him as a victim,
saving his presidency? And today he is the revered elder statesman, having
joined the rich one-percent through paid speeches. But no, on it goes. First,
to convict Obama, even if the GOP wins the senate in November, you'd need at
least 12 Democrat votes. No Democrat would vote to impeach, if Obama was caught
raping a nun. They are dependent on the minority votes in their base; they
would not care what the evidence was. Then if you convicted and removed him,
there would be riots in the cities, with millions, maybe billions of dollars in
destruction, and hundreds of deaths. That might give even very conservative Republicans
pause. And after that settles down--and you foot the huge reconstruction bill
through your taxes--say these two words: "President
Biden." Not only would he continue Obama's policies, and provide even
more inept and dithering leadership in the world, he would instantly be the
Democrat nominee and likely front runner to be elected president in 2016.
