#1 There is NO SUCH THING as a centrist Democrat. At least not in Congress.

#2 There will be no impeachment. The author is correct. Without bipartisan consensus, a drawing up of 'acticles' is an act of futility. I suspect there are many who would support the Champ if he personally supervised summary executions of his political opposition on the White House lawn.

Hopefully over time, this disaster and it's lessons learned can be fully documented for posterity. For now however, we in something of a political Abilene Paradox in which far too many have leaped headlong onto the Affirmative Action train for fear of being branded a hater or racist. As in the Paradox, it will be a long, hot, and dusty road home. As long as the 22nd Amendment survives, we still have hope.

#3 I've, since the age of about 13, been politically aware and of conservative/libertarian bent. I remember when there were true competitive elections where I could have voted for the D. One of the foremost of these was the NY Senate race between Daniel Patrick Moynihan and James Buckley.

I couldn't vote then but while I preferred Buckley I didn't loathe DPM. Moynihan, Scoop Jackson and others are long gone and have been replaced by the sniveling socialist septic tank scum that we have now.

"Driving the country to ruin"? Of course he is, that was the plan all along.

#4 In don't think the military option is off the table, completely. I do think that if Iran squirt off a nuke at, say, Diego Garcia, O would show forbearance and open negotiations, sending in the Kerry swiftboat SWAT team (that'll do a lot of good).
I DO think that if public demonstrations and disturbances were to occur here, he'd be perfectly capable of using a military option to 'restore order'.
'Cause he's real smart and we're just peons anyway.

#5 I read a piece in our morning paper which said that Senator Corker got in hot water with the PC police for the following statement with regards to a debate over CBO figures. He said: "I'm sorry, it just feels like bunch of midgets up here worrying about some CBO issue." The comment was declared "embarrassing and insulting" by the Little People of America in a news release. They considered the word midget as a slur. Later, Corker apologized--he said he did not mean to offend anyone.

GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina said that if Obama tried to release others without lawmakers' approval, it would lead to "people on our side calling for his impeachment." A moving line which will me moved again and again. Just as the Muslims and the Russians do not view Obama as a credible strong president, many also view the Pubs as being neutered.

Impeachment is not going to happen. Everyone is scared to death of the blowback from impeaching the first African-American President--no matter that the guy is an abject failure and has broken the law many, many times.

#6 Just one more time, huh, Lindsey? You sniveling coward, you're no better than Obama. If Republicans had any guts they'd be screaming bloody murder. If Obama is driving the country to ruin, then Republicans are asleep in the back seat.

#7 Remember when, at the beginning of the Obama debacle, when they started ramming things thru: Repubs were complaining about things, and were told 'you can ride, in the back'?
Guess who got on board?

#8 Notice he said 'calling for impeachment'... not actually starting the process.

#9 Artic title forgot to say "intentionally".

Again, one way to justify + empower OWG-NWO Global Federal Unions is to foster such anarchies + chaoses, etc. that real or potential Union Member-States are forced to rely on one another, iff only for base survival.

NAU, TPP, + TAP, etc. includ post-2015
"borderless" anti-sovereign Socialist Amerika are all PCorrect-Deniable means or tools towards that end.

The prob for mainstream America = Amerika is ...

* E.G. TOPIX > [Pointof View] HOW OBAMA ENDS WARS: FRANK GAFFNEY.

IMO the Bammer doesn't end wars as much as as he DOESN'T FIGHT 'EM. As seen in the ME from Libya to the Assad-Syria Crisis + Iran's NucProgs, + most notably vee Russia + Ukraine-Crimea Crisis, OBAMA-THE-POOR-PRO-US-US-NATIONALIST-BUT-HELLUVA-OUTSTANDING-ANTI-US-US-GLOBALIST VIOLATES HIS OWN "RED LINES" WHILE SIMUL DELIBERATELY ALLOWING RISING IRAN + PUTINIST RUSSIA, AKA GLOBALIST-DESIRED OWG CO-SUPERPOWERS, TO EXPAND THEIR SPHERES OF INFLUENCE SEEMINGLY AT THE EXPENSE OF THE US-ALLIES.

OWG GLOBALISM = can be ascribed as HOW MUCH OR HOW FAR CAN THE SUPERPOWER USA SAFELY GIVE UP OR RETREAT, ETC. WIDOUT BEING EXISTENTIALLY THREATENED OR DESTROYED BY ONE OR MORE GEOPOL WANNABES, I.E. SO-CALLED OWG CO-SUPERPOWERS + "UNIONS".

IOW, "MANAGED/CONTROLLED" STRATEGIC NATIONAL, GEOPOL RETREAT.

Raising or training one's own Replacement(s) whom also may turn on you + destroy you one day iff thingys go wrong.

* E.G. TOPIX > [News24]BOKO HARAM MAY GO GLOBAL, i.e. become linked to the pan-Africa + Worldwide Militant network.

As wid other AQ Affiliates, Boko Haram may one day devol into Soon-to-be-Nuclear Boko Haram thanks to the Bammer's + OWG Globalists helping the Muslim World to nuclearize-n-weaponize in the name of good Globalism.

* SAME > [Japan Times] OPINION; ASIAN PROVOCATIONS GIVE RISE TO WIFFS OF WAR.

* SAME > [Washington Examiner] CHINESE MILITARY GROWS STRONGER, CHALLENGES OBAMA'S "PIVOT".

Ina nutshell,RISING CHINA WANTS ITS OWG CO-SUPERPOWER STATUS, WHERE IT BELIEVES IT GETS CONTROL OF AT LEAST ONE-HALF OF THE PACIFIC [WestPac] WHILST THE US CONTROLS THE OTHER HALF [EastPac], + ITS NOT TAKING "NO" FOR AN ANSWER.

NOT FROM OBAMA, NOT FROM VIETNAM OR THE PHILIPPINES OR JAPAN, ETAL.
