It is time to impeach Obama.

• Position: Politial Landscape - Barack Obama

SHORTLY after Barack Obama was elected to the White House in 2008, I asked a brother at a family gathering, "Who's going to be president of the U.S. in 20 years?" Without hesitating, he said, "Barack Obama." More informed than most, he instantly got the drift of my question. As I was thinking through the implications of the de facto coup that precipitated the question, however, I was struck with a realization that gave me some degree of hope in the face of our nation's heightened peril.

Although no major Communist strongman in the world's history ever had walked away from ultimate power on his own, I noted that the U.S. was unlike any other country in its heritage of constitutional self-governance--and it would be interesting to see how well the charismatic, deceptive Marxist just elected would fare in forcing his promised "transformation" (writ: destruction) of our country down the throats of unsuspecting Americans. I foresaw an unprecedented cultural clash that in time could well disprove G.W.F. Hegel and Karl Marx's naive vision of history, with the U.S. refusing to ingest the Machiavellian fare of Mr. Obama and his minions, and instead convulsively regurgitating it.

The 2014 midterms resoundingly confirmed my suspicions. After almost six tumultuous years of lawless deception and anti-American deceit, the doctrinaire community organizer was repudiated in shocking fashion by the American public. No mas, as Sarah Palin would say, which brings us to the crucial question: what do the American people want to do with this opportunity?

The midterm elections unquestionably showed that most Americans want Obama stopped--certainly not appeased. Yet, Republican congressional leaders like presumptive Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R.-Ky.) and House Speaker John Boehner (R.-Ohio) appear not to have gotten the message. They think the election was about them--not about Obama. Both have indicated they plan to "work with" the President to "govern" jointly. This despite Obama's defiant words that he will not change course nor back down from his radical agenda. The only way Republicans will govern jointly in the face of such intransigence is to capitulate willfully to the President's demands. That is not what voters elected them to do in sweeping Obama's collaborators out of office. They want the GOP to stand firm and put an end to Obama's inroads--not cooperate with him.

Somebody needs to wake up the dreamers in the GOP leadership. Have them read...
