 Lying, bribing, subverting election laws, payoffs, aiding the
nation's enemies, seeking the abrogation of the U.S. Constitution – which of
these does not fall under the "high crimes and misdemeanors" required in the
nation's founding documents for the removal of a sitting president, asks a new
special report.
"The Case
for Impeachment: Why Barack Hussein Obama Should be Impeached to Save
America" by Steven Baldwin covers all of these issues and more in making its
arguments.
"This is the beginning of the end for the United States
unless the people exercise their precious remaining liberties and stand and
demand that their elected representatives impeach this president before further
mortal damage is inflicted upon America," the report concludes.
The
author explains that the Founding Fathers enshrined the impeachment clause into
the United States Constitution because they feared that a president intent on
subverting the very principles upon which the American experiment was built
would someday rise to power.
"Despite all the checks and balances and
obstacles they put in place, the Founders knew a determined cabal could still
gain control of all three branches of government and wield this consolidation of
power to dismantle our cherished constitutional principles, and eradicate the
freedoms that generations of Americans sacrificed their lives to preserve," he
writes.
"Make no mistake: That day is now upon us."
In "The Case
for Impeachment," Baldwin, a senior research fellow at the
Western Journalism Center, says the issue of impeachment "is no longer a
laughing matter."
"With the economy continuing to implode, the coming
collapse of the dollar, high unemployment rates, the government takeover of
entire industries, the administration's weak and naive response to the worldwide
jihadist threat, and the ongoing frontal assault on our Judeo-Christian
heritage, the impeachment option is one that can no longer be ignored," he
finds.
Impeachment, after all, is based on "high crimes and
misdemeanors," an "old English common law phrase which, in the 1600s, meant
negligence, abuse of power, and abuse of trust," the report says.
"Not
only has the Obama administration promoted dangerous and unsustainable policies,
but it has also engaged in corrupt and illegal activities such as bribery, a
crime the Founders specifically cited as an impeachable offense. Moreover, this
report details numerous instances of Obama lying to the American people, a
pattern which clearly indicates a character defect that in itself endangers
America. Given this, we believe impeachment is necessary for the future survival
of America," says the report.
Among the factors Americans should
consider:
- Obama's violations of federal campaign and
ethics laws, including the offers from his administration to Democratic U.S.
Rep. Joe Sestak, who reported he was offered a high-ranking government job to
drop his opposition in the Pennsylvania Senate primary to sitting Sen. Arlen
Specter.
- Obama's effort "to persuade the [Illinois]
governor to fill the vacated Senate seat with his longtime adviser Valerie
Jarrett."
- Suggestions from Obama's own Federal Election
Commission documentation that he got at least $33.8 million for his campaign
from disallowed foreign contributions, including 520 contributions from
interests in Iran as well as $30,000 from the Hamas-controlled Gaza area.
- Obama's administration decision to drop a case
that prosecutors already had won against "black nationalist thugs" who were seen
on video apparently intimidating voters during the 2008 election.
- Obama fired an inspector general, Gerald Walpin,
after he exposed corruption linked to one of Obama's buddies, Sacramento Mayor
Kevin Johnson.
- The president's system of rewarding supporters
has come under question. The report confirms more than 70 individuals who raised
$50,000 or more for Obama "have been rewarded with ambassadorships or high
ranking jobs."
The report documents how Obama's actions even may have endangered
Americans by "treating the war on terrorism as a criminal matter and downplaying
the war on terrorism."
"This attitude has manifested itself in a number
of ways: Obama's casual attitude may have encouraged domestic terrorist attacks,
such as the November 5, 2009, Ft. Hood shooting by Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan that
left thirteen American military personnel dead."
His Department of
Homeland Security also has "described veterans and other law-abiding Americans
[as] 'rightwing extremists,'" the report says.
Further, the report
explains how the U.S. State Department gave a grant to the Al-Quds television
network, owned by the terrorist group Hamas, and invited them to the U.S. to
produce a propaganda film.
Samantha Power, who once referred to the U.S.
presence in Iraq as an "occupation" even as she favored sending troops to Israel
to forcibly impose a Palestinian state, was appointed by Obama to the National
Security Council, the report says.
And the report reveals how rapper
Jay-Z and Beyonce were photographed sitting around the "Situation Room" – the
confidential White House location filled with top secret communications
equipment that allows the tracking of terror threats worldwide.
Access
to the room normally requires a high security clearance level.
"Many of
Obama's actions, if they do not flat-out violate the Constitution, certainly
undermine the spirit and intent of the Constitution as envisioned by our
Founding Fathers," the report explains.
And his fiscal policies "are
causing unprecedented damage to America's financial health and to our reputation
abroad."
The president even has changed history to remove Christian
references, the report explains.
"In his 2010 Easter greeting message,
Obama quoted from a sermon given by a military pastor on Iwo Jima in 1945.
However, he removed passages dealing with Christian doctrine – like Christ's
resurrection – in order to make the quote appealing to all religions, even
though Easter is NOT a multicultural event; it's a Christian event. Obama
altered a great historical quote in order to serve his multicultural worldview.
Apparently he is embarrassed by America’s Christian heritage."
The
report also has extensive sections on Democrats' new health-care law and what it
means, as well as immigration.
"President Barack Obama has proven to be
incompetent, reckless, deceitful, and naive when it comes to making economic
decisions and protecting America’s security interests. His history of
corruption, power-grabbing, and misleading the American people have created a
pattern we believe jeopardizes America," the report says.
"This report
reveals a pattern that demonstrates Obama is constantly engaging in actions that
reflect a hard-left ideology antithetical to America's founding principles. ...
Obama is clearly dismissive of America’s constitutional principles and obviously
dislikes the role America plays in the world. He dislikes our Judeo-Christian
heritage and detests America's historical allies.
"Less than halfway
through his first term, Obama has done more damage to America than any previous
president in history. Some of the damage can be repaired; some can't. Some of
his policies will haunt generations to come," the report says. "It's time for
the American people to rise up and demand Congress impeach him."
