No Specifics, But Hate Group Demands President Be Impeached

In the same style that has become the norm with today’s Republican party,–and that is the lack of specifics in any claim they make– a right winged group called Liberty Counsel is actively pushing for the impeachment or removal from office of President Obama. The group has been sending out emails to this effect, the latest which states;

[T]here is an unchecked arrogance, even a condescending, elitist mindset evident in the Obama White House. The President behaves as though he is somehow above the law!

This Administration seems to believe that the Constitution is pliable and subject to political expedience. They act as though their insights are greater than our Founding Fathers and the statesmen who gave shape and content to the Constitution!

The Obama Administration presumes it is “bigger” than the presidency.

No man is bigger than the office he is elected to hold. Through carefully crafted checks and balances, our Founders made sure that no office holder would be more “empowered” than the Constitution allowed.

Barack Obama’s subversion of our Constitution must be stopped! Those colluding with him in Congress, the Administration, the federal bureaucracy, State offices, and any other position of public trust must also be held accountable.

Liberty Counsel is continuing to demand that elected officials (all of them!) live up to their Oaths of Office – or be FIRED, RECALLED, or IMPEACHED.

Again, words. Just words with no specifics. Anyone can say anything, but without facts of specifics, there’s nothing to act on…nothing.

Adapting the same mindset, one can use the same words above to indicate that Liberty Counsel is against the Constitution and should be shut down, like so…;

[T]here is an unchecked arrogance, even a condescending, elitist mindset evident in the Liberty Counsel Group. These right-winged Nut Jobs behave as though they are somehow above the law!

This Group seems to believe that the Constitution is pliable and subject to political expedience. They act as though their insights are greater than our Founding Fathers and the statesmen who gave shape and content to the Constitution!

Liberty Counsel presumes Rush The Nut Limbaugh is “bigger” than the presidency!

No Group is bigger than the Constitution. Through carefully crafted checks and balances, our Founders made sure that no nut jobs or their affiliated nut jobs, would be more “empowered” than the Constitution allowed.

Liberty Counsel’s subversion of our Constitution must be stopped! Those colluding with them must also be held accountable including Republicans,The Tea Party,the Koch Brother’s etc..,

Americans are continuing to demand that Liberty Counsel (all of them!) live up to the truth – or be FIRED, SHUTDOWN, or INJECTED WITH SOME TRUTH SYNDROME TO DISCOVER WHO THEY’RE IN COLLUSION WITH.

See? It works both ways.

No Bachmann, You Cannot Re-Write Our History!

Republican Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann is a trip! Really, she is!

Mrs. Bachmann spoke over the weekend at an Iowans For Tax Relief event, and either tried to remake history, or give her version of what she thought happened, in regards to how people were treated back in the founding days of this nation.

The Congresswoman, who has presidential ambitions for 2012, said that everyone who came to these shores, whether willfully or through slavery, “were all the same,” when they arrived. She said;

“How unique in all of the world, that one nation that was the resting point from people groups all across the world. It didn’t matter the color of their skin, it didn’t matter their language, it didn’t matter their economic status.

“Once you got here, we were all the same. Isn’t that remarkable?”

Another claim by Mrs Bachmann was that the founding fathers did all they could to end slavery. She claimed, “”we also know that the very founders that wrote those documents worked tirelessly until slavery was no more in the United States.” Bachmann also claimed,

“I think it is high time that we recognize the contribution of our forbearers who worked tirelessly — men like John Quincy Adams, who would not rest until slavery was extinguished in the country.”

Gone from her history book is the fact that many of the founding fathers owned slaves, and yes, history showed that John Quincy Adams became a vocal advocate to end slavery, but he wasn’t a founding father and he also died in 1848 before the Emancipation Proclamation was signed in 1863.

Anderson Cooper however, heard these false claims of Mrs. Bachmann – who probably thought the event wasn’t being recorded and no one would hear the lies she was telling. Mr. Cooper, host of CNN’s Anderson Cooper 360, featured Bachmann’s claims on a segment of his show called “Keeping Them Honest.”

And that he did. Anderson give the lying Bachmann a lesson in American History. He said Bachmann’s comments “are either a deliberate rewriting of our history, or signs that she has a shaky grasp on our history.”
