Something to Think About

Ann Coulter will get a reaction.  She is provocative, I will give her that. 

State laws are pre-empted by federal law in two circumstances: When there is a conflict — such as “sanctuary cities” for illegals or California’s medical marijuana law — or when Congress has so thoroughly regulated a field that there is no room for even congruent state laws.

If Obama thinks there’s a conflict, I believe he’s made a damning admission. There’s a conflict only if the official policy of the federal government is to ignore its own immigration laws.

In this case she is also right.  The Obama Administration is the most lawless group of thugs since at least the Nixon Administration and I am not sure they aren’t worse.  Letting the NBPP thug Shabazz go loose after breaking federal law while suing Arizona for enforcing it pretty well sums up what this bunch of criminals is about.  If this were a just society Obama would be hauled before court on RICO charges and impeached.  Alas, thanks to the Lamestream Media neither will happen

Captain Kickass’ Plan to Destroy the South

I know the old axiom that you should never ascribe to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity, but Captain Kickass’ indefference to the Gulf Coast is starting to wear thin.  Ed Morrisey explains:

The effort to clean up the Gulf has been plagued by a multitude of leadership failures over the 73 days of the crisis, but this week it seemed as though a glimmer of hope had arrived.  The Obama administration claimed that it would start accepting help from foreign countries, and BP pledged to get more boats to the Gulf to remove crude oil as fast as possible.  The AP reports that those efforts may be a sham — a make-work effort intended to drive numbers but keep boats beached.

In other words He doesn’t want it cleaned up.  He wants the southern economy to be destroyed for the next generation or two.  He wants the oil in the marshes and on the beaches, the better to help him turn this would country into a third-world backwater.

Remember when we were warned that a Carter rerun would be the best case scenario? We are way passed that now. 

This is past mere incompetence and well into criminal malice aforethought.  Its way past time to be thinking about tossing the a**hole out in 2012 and time to be thinking impeachment.

Obumbler’s Gulf Strategy

Mike Huckabee is not happy:

While the President has had plenty of time in the last 50 days to play golf, host glitzy celebrity events at the White House and go on vacation – he’s only managed a few self-serving photo-op stops in the Gulf.

The President blasts the BP CEO, but hasn’t even spoken to him – he delivers blustery comments about “kicking someone’s a**” – while trying to cover his own his own rear

that’s a pretty good summary.  I know this is getting to be a really tired line, but can you just imagine the lamestream media’s reaction if Bush had behaved this way?  Of course Bush would have had a clue what to do and the damned well would be have been shut down within days of blowing out.

That assumes it would have blown out during Bush’s watch.  I have my doubts.  In fact, I have a nagging suspicion that the well was sabotaged by agents operating, if not at “Dear Leader’s” orders, at least with his implicit consent.  The prinicple of cui bono applies here.  The well blow out, at the very least, enables “the Won” to shut down oil production just in time to kill off the “green shoots” of any economic recovery that might have begun in spite of his best efforts to destroy the American economy.

Barry Soetoro is either the most incompetent person ever elected to the Presidency or he is a sleeper agent for some entity that wishes to destroy this country.  He cannot be anything else and behave the way he has.  He needs to be impeached, either for felony behavior in trying to manipulate local elections (see Sestak and Romanov) or for treason.  Both work for me.

Of Course He Would

Like we didn’t know this was coming…

President will announce an extension of moratorium on drilling new wells and will cancel new lease sales off the coasts of Alaska, Virginia.

It’s what he wanted to do anyway.  Make oil more expensive, make us more dependent on foreign oil, make us poorer and weaker.  In other words he is doing exactly what any sentient person could have predicted he would do when he started his run for office.

There are times when I half suspect that the explosion on Deepwater Horizon was deliberately set by agents working at the behest, if not on the orders, of the administration.  The timing was too convenient.  “Dear Leader” gets boxed into a situation where he politically has to sign off on more drilling and signs an order expanding same.  Then, “unexpectedly”, something happens which gives him the cover to rescind those orders. 

We have the most lawless White House in my living memory.  I’m not talking about sleazy, I am talking about lawless.  I am talking about Black Panther thuggery and bribery right and left.  I am talking about bringing the  corrupt and felonious “Chicago Way” to and already sleazy and corrupt Washington. 

If we truly had a republic instead what is rapidly becoming a three-world fascist dictatorship, this socialist asshole would be brought up on RICO charges.  It’s time for “Dear Leader” to go.  Preferably peaceably, but at this point I am ready to say “by any means necessary.”

Doubling down:

Obama announces a halt to drilling operations at all 33 deep-water rigs in the Gulf of Mexico for 6 months or until a presidential commission completes its work. Some of the rigs are already drilling and will have to stop. Others were preparing to drill and will have to stop those preparations until the commission finishes.

The next step, of course, will be to ban pumping at active wells.  This alph-hotel will keep pushing and pushing.

The O’Bower Does It Again

This Alpha-hotel either does not get it, or he really hates America.  He will bow to the entire rouges gallery of people who hate us, but he will snub, insult, belittle and ignore America’s true friends. 

Impeach him.  Try him for Treason.  America isn’t (or at least it wasn’t until “Dear Leader” gave China the keys to our bank) subservient to anyone.  It’s time we have a president who doesn;t fawn over every dictator that hates our guts.

Unconstitutional Usurption of Power

That is the best three-word description of the Obama Administration’s behavior I can think of.  The new Washington Times editorial up reinforces this in my mind.  The graph is especially telling.

This is about as clear as it can get.  “Dear Leader” will do what he wants whether it’s Constitutional or not.   Impeachment anyone?  Give us a clear super majority like the Liberal had this year and I promise you, impeachment would be on the table.

Isn’t Bribery Illegal?

Dan Reihl tells us:

How low would Obama sink to sell a disastrous HCR package? How about allowing a drought to go on for far too long because it made a convenient bargaining chip when he needed it? Despicable stuff, that. More details on the water issue at IOW.

The U.S. Department of Interior announced yesterday that it is increasing water allocations for the Central Valley of California, a region that depends on these water allocations to support local agriculture and jobs. The region has recently been starved for water and as a result unemployment has soared. Not surprisingly, Cardoza and Costa had a hand in the announcement:

More at IBD

One could chalk it up to good fortune or just good constituent service. But in the middle of a contentious health care debate marked by Cornhusker Kickbacks and Louisiana Purchases, we may be forgiven if we find an announcement by the Department of the Interior regarding California’s water supply a tad too coincidental.

There are no coincidences…

Dan Reihl: Impeach Obama

Seems like I have read this before somewhere, but Dan Reihl is calling for “Dear Leader’s” impeachment.

Via The Foundry, one likely scenario for passing ObamaCare will result in his willfully breaking that oath by going along with an unconstitutional scheme. Even if they don’t impeach him after 2010, it would seem any legislation passed this way would be ripe for Constitutional challenge. And even before that, a reasonable person could conclude the current government would be illegitimate if they go forward with this unconstutional farce.

Uh… Yeah. Of course that cannot happen until there are enough conservatives in the House of the Thieves to be able to pass a bill of charges.  Then there have to be enough honest people in the Senate for a trial not to be a farce.   We have a job to do in November.

High Crimes and Misdemeanors

The White House serially flirts with indictable behavior.  This is not news.  But we are hearing more and more about the Administration offering people plum jobs for doing their bidding. 

Hans A. von Spakovsky has a post on the Corner which touches on it but doesn’t, in my mind, go far enough.

There are at least three bribes that we know about that clearly violate 18 U.S.C. § 211, which states:

Whoever solicits or receives, either as a political contribution, or for personal emolument, any money or thing of value, in consideration of the promise of support or use of influence in obtaining for any person any appointive office or place under the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both. Whoever solicits or receives any thing of value in consideration of aiding a person to obtain employment under the United States either by referring his name to an executive department or agency of the United States or by requiring the payment of a fee because such person has secured such employment shall be fined under this title, or imprisoned not more than one year, or both. This section shall not apply to such services rendered by an employment agency pursuant to the written request of an executive department or agency of the United States.

Plain reading of indicates that the White House has committed felonious behavior by:

1. Offering Rep. Joe Sestak (D., Pa.) a high-ranking job in the administration if he would withdraw his challenge to Sen. Arlen Specter in the Pennsylvania primary election.
2.  Offering to Colorado state House Speaker Andrew Romanoff a job in the U.S. Agency for International Development if he would withdraw his primary challenge to Sen. Michael Bennet (D., Colo.).
3. Obama nominated Matheson’s brother, Scott M. Matheson, Jr. to the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit . His brother, Democrat Congressman Jim Matheson of Utah, has been listed as “undecided” on ObamaCare. 

Article II, Section 4 of the Constitution says,

“The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.”

Von Spakovosky does not call for impeachment.  There is clearly have grounds for impeaching Obama.   This, I think, is a weakness if his article.

Update:  Michelle Malkin is not impressed either:

Let us consider the possibility, for a brief moment, that this is all merely coincidence. Is the White House so fantastically blind and tone-deaf that it failed to detect the blood-red flags and blaring alarm bells that Scott Matheson’s judicial nomination would raise coming on the very day President Obama was wooing his brother, Jim? Incorrigibly corrupt or incorrigibly stupid. Take your pick.

She’s right.  It can’t be both.  (well it could, but…)

Well This is comforting

Marc Thiessen at the Corner tells us:

[B]y Blair’s own admission, the United States at this moment does not have a high-value terrorist interrogation capability — at a time when our country has once again come under terrorist attack.  Of course, the administration did not think they needed such a capability — because they have stopped trying to capture high-value terrorists alive and bring them in for questioning.  So when one landed in their lap unexpectedly, they had no idea what to do with him.

While Obambi is busy trying to trash my 401, tear down Wall Street, blame everyone by himself for his utter incompetence, he is totally neglecting his Constitutional duty to protect the country.  We really need to take back Congress and initiate impeachment proceedings before one of our cities is a radioactive waste land.

As Glenn Reynolds would say, the country is in the very best of hands…
