Are We There Yet?

Human Events popped this up at me this morning, as if I need an adreniline rush at 9 a.m. SEE HERE for the web-page version of this. I suppose it does raise an interesting question: "Has Barack Obama done anything that would rise to the status of an impeachable offense?" He is the elected president with a good majority and has a two house majority in congress after all. That being said, his "vision" (more a nightmare I think) of transforming America is distinctly frightening. He has surround himself with agents of the far left. He has placed numerous "persons of interest" (far left, overt communists, people with deep animosity to many of the provisions of the constitution, etc.) into positions of power and influence. He is a fellow traveler of many who hate America and is an actual agent, at least in the past, of ACORN which is about as corrupt as they get. I'm not sure we've risen to impeachable yet, but we certainly have passed troubling.

The legislation he's been supporting is certainly transformative. It transforms the federal government into our master and shrinks personal wealth to a staggering degree if it all passes. I have not added it all up. But each and every bill seems to come with personal family income hits on average of several thousand dollars. Some of the estimated hits, such as that from the cap and trade legislation, double or triple the cost of energy. The health care legislation is framed to take over 1/7th of the economy as it crushes the medical insurance industry.

We can have intersting dialogues about how health care should be delivered, or how the environment should be protected, or about any of a number of other things that are the claimed motives for these pieces of legislation. Under cover of darkness, however, each of these seem mostly focused on taking over something and extending federal power. Don't know if that is impeachable, but maybe it should be.
