The drum beat for impeaching Obama is growing louder, but is anyone listening? Are we just going to go to our graves allowing this to happen? The fundamental destruction of our country before our very eyes? The destruction and trampling of the Constitution and Bill of Rights? Even some liberals are turning on Obama. Gee, only took them five years to figure out what was happening?
Liberal icon urges Obama impeachment
‘The most destructive, dangerous president we’ve ever had’
WASHINGTON — Worse than Richard Nixon. An unprecedented abuse of powers. The most un-American president in the nation’s history.
Nat Hentoff does not think much of President Obama.
And now, the famous journalist says it is time to begin looking into impeachment.
Hentoff sees the biggest problem as Obama’s penchant to rule by executive order when he can’t convince Congress to do things his way.
The issue jumped back into the headlines last week when, just before his first Cabinet meeting of 2014, Obama said, “I’ve got a pen and I’ve got a phone … and I can use that pen to sign executive orders and take executive actions.”
“Apparently he doesn’t give one damn about the separation of powers,” Hentoff told WND. “Never before in our history has a president done these things.”
And just to make sure everyone knows how extremely serious he regards the situation, the journalist added, “This is the worst state, I think, the country has ever been in.”
Many have regarded Hentoff as the conscience of civil libertarianism and liberalism for decades.
Recognized as one of the foremost authorities on the Bill of Rights and the Supreme Court, Hentoff was a columnist and staff writer with The Village Voice for 51 years, from 1957 until 2008, when his columns began appearing in WND.
Hentoff left the Voice after he looked into the abortion industry, was shocked by what he found and had a falling-out with colleagues.
But he hasn’t liked Obama from the start.
“Within a few months after he was elected, I wrote a column saying he was going to be the most destructive, dangerous president we’ve ever had,” he said.
Hentoff said people he’d known for years told him to stop being so negative and to give Obama a chance.
“Well, we’ve given him a chance. I understated the case a little.”
In other words, Hentoff thinks Obama is the most dangerous and destructive president ever.
And, that’s why the veteran journalist thinks it’s time to begin looking into impeachment.
“He has no right to do these executive orders,” Hentoff insisted, his voice reaching a crescendo of indignation.
He says Obama gets away with it only because there is no outrage in Congress, no coverage by the media and no knowledge by the public.
“He’s in a position now where he figures he’s going to do whatever he wants to do.”
In fact, Hentoff said, Obama doesn’t even pretend to care about the separation of powers between the executive branch and Congress anymore, because “He’s the boss and hardly anybody cares enough” to stop him

Nat Hentoff
The most well-known examples of Obama changing or issuing laws with the stroke of a pen by issuing executive orders include:
Delaying the employer mandate in Obamacare
Changing the types of plans available under Obamacare
Ensuring abortions would be covered under Obamacare
Enacting key provisions of the failed Dream Act to halt deportations of illegal immigrants
Enacting stricter gun-control measures
Sealing presidential records
Creating an economic council
Creating a domestic policy council
Changing pay grades
As WND previously reported, even the the far left-leaning FactCheck wrote, “It’s true that President Obama is increasingly using his executive powers in the face of staunch Republican opposition in Congress. He’s changed federal policies on immigration and welfare and appointed officials without congressional approval.”
“I would say that never before in our history had a president done these things,” Hentoff mused.
He noted that while Nixon merely claimed that winning an election gave him the right to do what he wanted, Obama is actually doing whatever he pleases.
The journalist said he doesn’t think any other president has acted so lawlessly as a matter of habit.
“So, if this isn’t a reason for at least the start of an independent investigation that would lead to impeachment, what is?”
Hentoff is baffled that Obama should escape such scrutiny when former President Bill Clinton faced impeachment just for being “a lousy liar.”
A big part of the problem, the journalist believes, is what he calls the utter ignorance of a huge portion of the population, which is not outraged at losing its basic right to be self-governing.
And Obama “doesn’t give a damn, because he can get away with whatever he wants.”
That’s why Hentoff called this the worst state the country has ever been in, “Even worse than Woodrow Wilson’s regime, when people could be arrested for speaking German.”
Compounding the problem he says, is the digital age, which has allowed the president to engage in unprecedented domestic spying with the apparatus of the National Security Agency. The terrorist NSA is accountable to nobody except Obama.
WND asked if Obama really posed such a threat, considering he was a professor of constitutional law.
“People forget, he taught a course that he was not fully qualified to teach. But nobody seemed to care,” Hentoff observed.
He also pointed out that Obama was the only editor of the Harvard Law Review to never publish an article, something that went virtually unnoticed when voters considered his qualifications.
“See, that was a case of affirmative-action and people feeling, ‘Hey we ought to do something important, symbolically, and here’s a black guy, and he’s articulate, so we’re gonna do this.’”
Hentoff mentioned that former U.S. Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas, the man Time Magazine once called “the most doctrinaire and committed civil libertarian ever to sit on the court,” once personally lectured him that “Affirmative-action on a racial basis is a total violation of the 14th Amendment, no doubt about it.”
And, referring to Obama’s presidency, the journalist said, “That’s what that kind of affirmative-action did for us.”
He told WND that he firmly believed the president does not care about due process, the separation of powers, the concept of a self-governing republic or many other basic American ideals.
And that’s why, he said, “What Obama is doing now is about as un-American as you can get.”
Hentoff wanted to make sure no one thought he was engaging in hyperbole.
He said it was literally true that Obama is “the most un-American president we’ve ever had.”
And just to make sure everybody heard him, he added, “I hope the FBI got all of that.”
Hentoff is just the latest public figure to be added to the growing list of those mentioning the possible impeachment of President Obama.
WND has been keeping track, and that list now includes:
Reps. Steve King, R-Iowa; Blake Farenthold, R-Texas; Rep. Steve Stockman, R-Texas; Rep. Bill Flores, R-Texas; Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif.; Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla.; Rep. Kerry Bentivolio, R-Mich.; Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas; Rep. Blake Farenthold, R-Texas; Sen. James Inhofe, R-Okla.; Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah; Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C.; Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn.; Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas; Rep. Trey Radel, R-Fla., and Rep. Ted Yoho, R-Fla.

The Case for Impeachment (Special Report) By Steven Baldwin
“The Case for Impeachment” is an insightful summary of how President Barack Hussein Obama’s purposeful actions have jeopardized America’s ability to defend herself, undermined our free enterprise system, corrupted our democratic institutions and transferred massive amounts of power and wealth from American citizens to extremist special interest groups, whose loyalty lies not with our Constitution but with a global socialist movement. 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 in?icted upon America. If the silent majority can summon the indignation, willpower and energy to make their voices heard, there is still a chance our country may survive.
Impeachable Offenses: The Case for Removing Barack Obama from Office
investigative reporters Aaron Klein and Brenda Elliott deliver what amounts to a rough draft of the articles of impeachment against Barack Obama. Among the offenses documented in the book:
How ObamaCare is not only unconstitutional but illegally bypasses Congress, infringes on states’ rights, and marks an unprecedented and unauthorized expansion of IRS power.
How Obama has sidestepped Congress and already granted largely unreported de facto amnesty for millions of illegal aliens using probably illicit interagency directives and executive orders.
How the Obama administration recklessly endangered the public by releasing from prison criminal illegal aliens at a rate far beyond what is publicly known.
The president’s personal role in the September 11, 2012 Benghazi attacks, with new evidence about what was transpiring at the U.S. mission prior to the assaults – possibly impeachable activities in and of themselves.
Illicit edicts on gun control actions in addition to the deadly “Fast and Furious” gun-running operation intended, the book shows, to collect fraudulent gun data.
From “fusion centers” to drones to alarming Department of Homeland Security power grabs, how U.S. citizens are fast arriving at the stage of living under a virtual surveillance regime.
New evidence of rank corruption, cronyism and possible impeachable offenses related to Obama’s first term “green” funding adventures misusing public funds.
How Obama has weakened America both domestically and abroad by emboldening our enemies, tacitly supporting a Muslim Brotherhood revolution, spurning our allies, and minimizing the threat of Islamic fundamentalism.
What’s the holdup? Because the oppressor in chief is performing exactly according the script, his handlers have no reason to get rid of him.
I’ll be the first to admit that I’m a conspiracy theorist, but where I differ from most is I know there is a chief conspirator, the Devil. He is not one to be underestimated. While we can’t destroy him, but we can destroy his works,
“The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil.” (1 John 3:8b, ESV)
““Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father.” (John 14:12, ESV)
We can destroy the works of the Devil by dismantling, piece by piece, the paradigms and thought processes impressed upon us by the world, by putting on the new man,
“and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.” (Ephesians 4:24, ESV)
Without identifying the true enemy, then it’s impossible to defend against his attacks, which are becoming bolder by the day.
“Therefore, rejoice, O heavens and you who dwell in them! But woe to you, O earth and sea, for the devil has come down to you in great wrath, because he knows that his time is short!” (Revelation 12:12, ESV)
The call to believers, born again of the spirit of Christ, is to persevere and to stand against all the wiles of the Devil.
“Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil.” (Ephesians 6:11, ESV)
We have this calling so that we will not be deceived, and that we can overcome the darkness of this world,
“Truly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.” (Matthew 18:18-20, ESV)
It is an awesome privilege to be called of God. Do not be deceived and do not let the Devil and Satan steal the word of God from your hearts. There is no higher calling, nor greater privilege. It is also necessary to hold back the flood of the spirit kingdom, and to prevent the overthrow of God’s people on earth. You want to know that you’re saved, for yourself, your family and your neighbors, if you care about them. It is a commandment. Our time on this earth is short, make the best of it. We are more than conquerors through him who first loved us. Amen.
I love the smell of Bible Bullshit in the morning from our Resident Hypocrite.
non-anon
Nice treatise on the anti-christ. 1/5 the population of the U.S. believes Obama is the anti-christ, they can’t all be wrong. I don’t know what hell looks like, but one look around at all the obese tattooed freaks in this country, and it would seem somebody left the gate open and they’re all topside now. I guess that’s how it works, let everyone out of hell, all the demons and devils, install the anti-christ as president, he ushers in catastrophe, collapse and death, robs people of their souls by making them dependent on the evil government, morals, values, ethics, spirit, humanity, all taken away and gone. And then God finally intervenes and passes judgement. It’s still a long way to go until that happens, all that’s missing is a world consuming catastrophic war. Obama has that up his sleeve, to use during his impeachment/treason hearings.
Stucky ,are you still mad at world?Poor Stucky ,just can’t get no satisfaction.Like a rolling stone.
There are scriptures discovered at Nag Hammadi, Egypt, in 1947 that were deciphered in the 1970’s and are therefore uncorrupted (unlike how the Bible has been “edited” over 2000 years). Written by the Gnostic sect of Christians, who believed that godly knowledge (gnostic means knowledge) can be obtained by looking within vs. only achieved by orthodox church rulers, the Nag Hammadi Library describes “Archons” that are inorganic beings who long to rule humankind. Take it for what it is, but it’s one fascinating story/myth that hasn’t been altered since it’s discovery. The source of the Gnostic knowledge was through “the mystery schools” (a sort of trance meditation). The Gnostics were virtually wiped out around 300 A.D. by the orthodox Christian religions who could not stand the idea of anyone seeking god outside the formalities of the church.
Here’s a transcription of one of the Nag Hammadi texts on Archons:
http://gnosis.org/naghamm/hypostas.html
And a very good interpretation/explanation by John Lash, an authority on the Nag Hammadi texts:
http://www.metahistory.org/gnostique/archonfiles/AlienIntrusion.php
I favor this explanation of evil in today’s world over the concept of a devil. You have to grasp the
entire Nag Hammadi creation myth in order to understand any of this. It will turn your world upside down, as it goes against the entire popular version of Earth’s creation and Gaia.
AWD ,are you a bible believing man who fears and worshipers the Lord Jesus Christ.Who really believes in God as well as Satan.?Who believes in heaven as well as hell?Who believes Christ died on the Cross and his death satisfied God’s wrath for all who believe.That your sins have been forgiven and you will spend eternal life with the Lord?Is this what you believe? If so do you know what this means?It
means you believe what I believe.Now will you admit you believe what the so -called village idiot believes ?????If so what does this make you ??????
Rise up, what you believe is satanic deception.There’s always someone who refers to the Gnostic writers which they all have one thing in common.They reject the biblical Christ .You don’t believe in Satan ?You just called God a liar.dumb,dumb
@bb, I reject the entire salvation concept. Your God is not my god.
Even if I agreed with the actions he was taking, and would vote for it, if I was a Congressman I would immediately launch a court challenge every time he over-rode a Congressional law. It is un-Constitutional, and every member of Congress should be howling for his blood over it. That the Rupublicans are standing for it speaks volumes about the corruption that exists in that “august” institution.
Fucking cunts.
Rise Up says:
@bb, I reject the entire salvation concept. Your God is not my god.
Stucky says:
“I love the smell of Bible Bullshit in the morning from our Resident Hypocrite.”
At least Non posts citations, bb tends to come out of left field. I still like him though. One problem with Non’s post is that he is all over the place, I am sure for an initiate it is very energizing but for others it is confusing. I’ve been down that road and now here I am. As Paul said,I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified.
There are folks who can benefit: when I sought counsel from Captain Pangloss, I asked him, how did you stop drinking? He had mentioned that he no longer drank but he seemed to be taken aback by my personal question. He said nothing.
Preach salvation to those looking for it Non, but don’t try to shove it down their craw. And lay off the technical stuff, a simple story such as Z offers, (that heaven for him is a place where people will be fellating each other all day, I seriously believe Z is going to be so disappointed) is a simple picture and perhaps more than a few will convert to Z’s sect.
Good thing you preach the truth to counteract that serpent. Anyway, carry on, bro.
Thank you Stucky…
Thank.you El Coyote
