It’s starting to feel like everybody except liberal Democrats and Muslims acknowledge the wrongs against our country that our usurper president has done, is doing and will do are impeachable; that’s good enough for a start, but by whom for goodness sake?
Whether we have a group of leaders who quake in their boots at the thought of holding another impeachment session in Congress, or they have joined the enemy and will allow him to do all the damage he wants in return for a friendly nod from the worst criminal ever to dwell in our sacred White House is the dilemma.
Who would have suspected that the socialistic Washington Post would ever publish an article about a conservative Republican from Texas who spouts off about knowing that the House of Representatives of Congress has enough votes to impeach Obama?
And to top that off, can anyone out there with a straight face honestly say they believe a ‘dyed-in-the-wool’, hardcore liberal socialist/communist spouting Democrat from Ohio would actually charge his political party leader of committing an impeachable offense in public? Well, it happened recently when Dennis Kuchinich, a former candidate for the office of president said Obama committed an “impeachable offense” in deciding to authorize U.S. airstrikes over Libya Saturday without the consent of Congress as posted by CNN Political Producer Alexander Mooney.
“President Obama moved forward without Congress approving. He didn’t have Congressional authorization, he has gone against the Constitution, and that’s got to be said,” Kucinich told the web site ‘Raw Story’ on Monday. “It’s not even disputable, this isn’t even a close question.”

Letter to a Certified Liberal
Dec 24, 2010
The Sun Journal Letter to the Editor: Letter to a Certified Liberal--By CCTA Member, Lou Call
Thursday’s letter from the ‘certified liberal’ Shelton Jenkins was a masterpiece of liberal speak. There were some interesting observations made by the writer as well as the usual omissions which are all too common when a progressive refers to things conservative in nature.
Allow me to start with his following statement : “I also find it somewhat amusingly hypocritical when I glance over the masses at most tea party gatherings, and realize how many participants are beneficiaries of Social Security, Medicare, the VA health care system, or may own businesses that benefit from those programs.”
For the record Social Security is not voluntary and is required by the government for both employee and employer participation. Since contributions are mandatory does that mean that the recipients shouldn’t exercise their rights to protest against the Obama administration? It’s unfortunate that Congress has moved monies from the Social Security fund into the General Fund putting the fund in jeopardy. Mr. Jenkins needs to be reminded that Congress, for the last four years, has been under the control of liberal democrats.
Let’s turn our attention to the VA health care system. How dare any Tea Party participant question the machinations in Washington when they are the recipient of health care under the VA. Like most liberals he forgets why those benefits exist; call it selective memory. Those of us who have VA benefits received them for our service to our Country.Some shed their blood, others lost limbs and some paid the ultimate price for our freedoms; how dare any Veteran march and protest in Washington.
I must agree with Mr. Jenkins that Obamacare is demeaning by its very nature. Consider this; liberals would like you to believe that the Health Care Reform bill (Obamacare) was overwhelmingly supported by the Congress. In reality it passed by one vote. It is over 2000 pages in length, was never read by the majority of Congress before it was passed, gives greater power to IRS intrusion into our personal savings accounts, requires under penalty of fines and/or imprisonment anyone who does not have health insurance by 2014 and is more about control than health care reform. Then starting in 2012 requiring a business to file a 1099 for every purchase they make; what does this have to do with improving health care?
It will ration care to seniors and eventually reduce payments to health care professionals. Already doctors in the health care industry are considering whether to stay or pursue other forms of income. If you don’t believe this last statement have a sit down with you family physician and ask him/her about the affects Obamacare will have on their practice.
There is very little left that the tentacles of Socialism haven’t touched. From our auto industry to our banking system(s) to the internet we use every day to communicate. The hand of Obama can be seen and eventually felt. And this is done all under the banner of some crisis; real, imagined or created.
If Mr. Jenkins thinks that those of us in the Tea Party movement are going to give the Republican congress a free ride in 2011, he’s in for a rude awakening. This should be a wake up call for all of us but he would prefer we stay asleep.

SENATE PASSES TAX RELIEF BILL, 81-19; Legislation Goes to the House
Tax Deal Possibly Endangered by Error in Legislation
Published December 15, 2010, FoxNews.com
President Obama on Wednesday urged lawmakers to reach a compromise on tax extenders but a glitch in the bill caused some senators to scramble for a correction without endangering its outcome.
Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., came to the Senate floor Wednesday to announce a "mistake" in the legislation. She said a program to extend low income housing tax credits for people who lost homes during Hurricanes Katrina and Rita was left out of the bill even though it was a deal that all sides approved.
Landrieu said the money is needed for two more years to complete the projects and its inclusion was blessed by the White House and the entire Louisiana delegation of nine lawmakers, two Democrats and seven Republicans. Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus, D-Mont., followed to say that she was right.
But the addition could open up a can of worms because Republicans have said they would not accept any changes to the deal with President Obama that House Democrats have already indicated they want to rip up.
The tax deal package would extend current income tax rates for another two years and add hundreds of billions in additional spending through sweeteners and a 13-month extension in jobless benefits. The deal was approved by Republicans and Obama but faces stiff opposition among House Democrats who say Americans should have to pay larger percentages of taxes on bequeathed estates than is negotiated in the deal.
As he prepared to enter a meeting with CEOs from 20 of the country's largest companies, Obama urged Congress to pass the tax legislation.
"I know there are different aspects of this plan to which members of Congress on both sides of the aisle object. That's the nature of compromise. But we worked hard to negotiate an agreement that's a win for middle-class families and a win for our economy, and we can't afford to let it fall victim to either delay or defeat," he said.
But as House Democrats fume over extended benefits to the wealthy, Landrieu's announcement could offer them a reason to refuse to accept the measure, which passed a Senate test vote 83-15 and was expected to win an even greater margin on Wednesday after dispensing with three amendments unlikely to pass.
An amendment from Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., to pay for the costs of extending unemployment insurance payments by reducing unnecessary and duplicative spending failed in a 47-52 vote;
Another amendment from Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., to permanently extend the Bush-era rates, permanently repeal the estate tax, and to permanently provide alternative minimum tax relief failed in a 37-63 vote;
Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., also has an amendment to "provide an extension of 2010 tax cuts only for the bottom 98 percent of taxpayers, to reform the estate tax, to extend "the making work pay credit in lieu of a payroll tax holiday, to provide relief for senior citizens, and to provide for improvements in infrastructure, energy and water."
Once the legislation passes the Senate, it will go over to the House where debate could begin as early as Wednesday night. House Democrats have pledged to make a change, most likely relating to the estate tax. Or they could consider a change in the estate tax provision as a stand-alone issue.
Another option is to "divide the question" as Democrats did on a bill for supplemental funding of the war in Iraq. To give anti-war Democrats cover, the maneuver -- used a number of times -- ensured anti-war Democrats a vote on their issue but enabled the House to vote on war funding and not leave troops in the lurch.
Still, the vote doesn't sit well with liberal Democrats like Rep. Peter DeFazio of Oregon who said it's like going "back to square one" after House Democrats voted on a resolution last week to refuse to bring up the bill for a vote.
Rep. Peter Welch, D-Vt,. told Fox News on Wednesday that he doesn't think House Democrats have the vote to kill it, but the bill is too costly.
"It's too few jobs and too much debt," Welch said, adding that Democrats support existing middle class tax rates, but "there's about a $200 billion ransom here that's being paid to get the support of the Senate Republicans and it's going from bad to worse. ... The estimates are that the cost of each job is going to be $400,000 if we borrow in order to finance that recovery."
