How much more can we take

It has been an increasingly difficult to keep my composure lately when it comes to politics and world affairs. I find that the current administration has followed the Alinsky guidelines for radically changing a system by constant crisis to perfection. When I feel that there might be a break or a pause in the continual barrage of economic or social calamities another comes right after. I have heard descriptions of what "Shell Shock" is, especially during the first Gulf War from Iraqi soldiers. The conscripts would say that you felt safe in your bunker for the first few days of the B-52's and B-1 and B-117's hitting them. The lull offered was for refueling and rearming. The soldiers said it would come again and then stop and the same rhythm went on day after day. They began to lose sleep, then lose hope , then they lost their minds. At least for me this is how being under the Obama administration has been.

I began thinking a few weeks ago that maybe we could retaliate through impeachment proceedings. That we as a people could put pressure on our elected leaders to reign in the executive branch and put it back in balance and in its place. The speaker of the house in recent days killed that hope by saying that it was a ploy of the Democratic party. Mr. Speaker it was a cry for help coming from those of us that honor the constitution and the limits it places of the president when it comes to making law. Numerous constitutional scholars and pundits have agreed that the over reaches by the president merit and impeachment. The presidency was never meant to have so much power. Power over business by owning General Motors. Power over our economy by legislation like Dodd-Frank. Power now over your very health through Obamacare. All in the hands of one man and one party.


Crazy Geraldo Rivera had it right the other day inadvertently. Geraldo was complaining that Matt Drudge was being irresponsible in his reporting of the border crisis. Geraldo cried that the reporting was stirring up a possible "Civil War". I do not believe we are to that stage yet, however there are rumblings in the radical right-wing that have been seen lately. The Bundy Ranch confrontation recently, the stand against illegals in Murrietta, the current lawsuits from religious groups against Obamacare.  The pot is boiling and there is certainly the impetus on the left to quell these push backs through the use of the IRS and Homeland Security. A decade ago this would have all seemed like an Art Bell Dreamland late night AM conspiracy radio show. Today all you have to do is turn on the TV.
