The Impeachment of President Obama

The Republicans ever manage to retake Congress, they will absolutely try to impeach President Obama. And it'll be based upon a supremely ridiculous charge such as, say, the president refusing to nourish our crops with a sports drink instead of water.

Okay, so maybe the Idiosyncrasy example is over-the-top, but if we follow the current trajectory of far-right attacks to their logical yet insane conclusion, it makes sense in a very eerie way. Have you seen the television commercials solemnly defending our right to poison our kids with "juice drinks and soda?" There you go.

I've been following the Republican descent into the realms of the bizarre for some time now, and it wasn't until the "czars" thing broke that I became convinced that if they retook Congress the Republicans might try to impeach the president. The grounds for both the impeachment and the language used to sell it will likely be fabricated by either Glenn Beck or Rush Limbaugh.

I mean, 100 Republican members of Congress have signed onto Rep. Jack Kingston's cartoonish czar bill. 100 House Republicans out of 177 have attached their names to a bill that was essentially invented as a television bit by Glenn Beck without any regard for the fact that "czar" is a nickname invented by the press, and that every president -- all of them! -- has employed policy and political advisers within their administrations. But it functions as an effective Beck attack because he knows his audience isn't bright enough to distinguish "czars" from "communists." By the way, not to be out-crazied by his House colleagues, Senator Ensign introduced an amendment to the Finance Committee health care reform bill called "Transparency in Czars." This might as well be "Transparency in Hobbits" because it's just that ludicrous.

Nevertheless, there's a growing conventional wisdom in the press alleging that both sides of the political spectrum are equally guilty of wackaloon attacks and conspiracy theories.

Granted there might be one or two very fringe exceptions but this is otherwise a false equivalency written by the establishment media as part of their self-conscious effort to seem balanced. The distinction is that any "fringe" attacks from the left during the Bush years weren't mainstreamed and legitimized the way the wingnut attacks are today, even though the fringe attacks from the left turned out to be mostly accurate.

On the right, we're hearing about communist takeovers, birth certificates, Oval Office dress codes, teleprompters, death panels, czars and a return to segregated buses. During the previous administration, on the other hand, the left insisted that Iraq didn't have WMD. This turned out to be true. The left insisted that there wasn't a connection between Saddam and 9/11. Also true. The left alleged that George W. Bush was incompetent. The rest of the nation caught up with the left when Katrina slammed into New Orleans, shattering the levees while Bush was eating cake with John McCain.

Some, but not all, of the left thought Bush had prior knowledge of the September 11th attacks. It's a matter of record that he knew an attack might be imminent based upon the famous PDB titled "Bin Laden Determined to Attack Inside the United States." So that one was partially true.

The left also accused the administration of using illegal wiretaps, torture and other human rights violations. All true. Did Bush have business connections with the Bin Laden family? Yes.

And throughout the Bush years -- no matter how accurate the left's "fringe" attacks might've been -- liberals were marginalized and laughed off by the establishment press, ignored by certain leaders in our own party and attacked as unpatriotic by the Republicans. Sean Hannity, Tom DeLay and Bill O'Reilly, who are all busily ripping the current president an array of new holes, actively accused the left of undermining the troops.

The real 9/11 truth

The real 9/11 truth is not that the destruction of the World Trade Center was an inside job, but that the terrorists who flew planes into it achieved a monumental victory. The destruction of the twin towers and the loss of life and property, as tragic as they were, did not by themselves achieve a victory for the terrorists. It took the overblown response by President George W. Bush to enable the terrorists to achieve what they could not have by themselves.

Many of us are no longer afraid of Muslim terrorists, however, we are afraid of our own government. The events of 9/11 have strengthened the hands of every military, police and investigative agency in the United States (including Child Protective Services which I focus on in my articles) at the same time cutting back the civil liberties of the people of the United States.

Before 9/11 it was hard to imagine that Americans would actually debate the benefits of torture. Before 9/11 it was inconceivable that people, including American citizens, could be held indefinitely without trial.

Thousands of Americans have been subjected to wiretapping without a warrant. President Bush used 9/11 to create the Department of Reich Homeland Security, which seems duplicative of the Department of Defense. This move was supported by neo-conservatives who once called for the dismantling of the Department of Education because it intruded on the rights of the people.

President Bush also used 9/11 to expand presidential power and used signing acts to undermine what the people's representatives passed into law. He increased our border patrol's authority by allowing them to set up checkpoints as far as 100 miles inland, where they often stop people without sufficient reason for doing so.

According to the ACLU, the Patriot Act, designed by former Attorney General John Ashcroft, and rammed through Congress on a wave of "patriotism" contained provisions that vastly expanded governmental powers. According to the ACLU, Ashcroft's responses threaten us in three disturbing ways:

"They focus suspicion on groups or individuals, based on religion or national origin alone;

They demand virtually unchecked authority to snoop and spy on law-abiding Americans not suspected of any crime; and

They shut down dissent and due process with strategies ranging from secret hearings and detentions to open disregard of the courts."

...The real truth about 9/11 is that it led to the passage of many laws that have hurt civil liberties. It has given people in authority the "courage" to abuse people. It has made terrorists out of people who violate our civil liberties in the name of fighting terrorism and keeping us safe.

We need to roll back any laws passed because of 9/11 that have hurt our civil liberties. We need to bring to trial people who have abused their authority.

The important issue is not who destroyed the twin towers on September 11, 2001, but who has been using that tragedy ever since to destroy our civil liberties.The real 9/11 truth is not that the destruction of the World Trade Center was an... more
