Voicing Our Opposition in Peace

LIST OF FACEBOOK PAGES BY STATE

The best thing for the president and his party is a disorganized, scattered opposition. (That would be us.) That was the point behind IRS targeting, and mainstream news pieces calling Marco Rubio a traitor to his party: to leave us disorganized and fighting each other. You've probably seen your share of calls for protest on facebook, but I thought this one deserved special attention because its mission is simple and highly doable:

"The hope is to have protests in many places and at many different times as to accommodate everyone who would like to attend."

Personally, I don't think impeachment is the answer. That's a long process that grants legitimacy to an illegitimate ruler. What we need is to nullify what has been proven to be a corrupted election, and have special elections. President Obama is--in every way--an impostor. While we wait for the inevitable Congressional hearings on his legitimacy (we do have due process for these things, after all), it makes sense to express our opposition using our First Amendment rights. I think this Overpasses to Impeach Obama movement does exactly that, and does it peacefully, without a confrontation with our own military at the nation's capitol.

I think it's fine to admire the Egyptian people for coming out in historically huge numbers to protest a "democratically elected" president who subverted and completely collapsed their constitution! And of course we sympathize when we've got a Constitution-subverting tyrant of our own cramming extensive EPA regulations and Obamacare fine print down the throats of our small businesses and individuals.

Every single day there's a new statement out of the White House about how President Obama is going to circumvent the contentious congress to GET THINGS DONE. He sees our Constitution as a flawed document (a former student of Constitutional law!) that needs to be improved upon. But he's not improving it by adding anti-slavery amendments or equal-treatment-under-the-law amendments or women's franchise amendments. He's not attempting to operate within the law at all. For a man with a Harvard law degree, he's shown a shocking disdain for legal process, refusing to support actual laws and creating unConstitutional laws (like the Obamacare taxes) instead. As the scope of his abuses of executive branch departments becomes clearer, there's even reason to fear our Supreme Court has been compromised by spying and blackmail. President Obama has done much to shatter our confidence in his administration.

Yes, we have every reason to be in the streets protesting.

HOWEVER....

There are key differences between us and Egypt, and frankly, we're still in a better position than those oppressed Egyptians who came out by the millions to oust President Morsi.

1. The Egyptian people have been suffering far worse economic conditions, more like Great Depression era conditions. Their electrical power has been spotty for months now, and got even worse the week of the big protest. Their daily funds are a couple dollars to our hundreds. Many of the people who got out to protest are now in the pitiable condition of having NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE.  

2. The Egyptian people have a military who likes to side with the people over the government, and has done so twice now in two years. 

One thing between the two countries is the same: a confrontation at the capitol will result in battles between citizen groups and the military, and encourage lawlessness like the shameful plague of sexual assaults we've seen in Egypt and in our own Occupy Wall Street camps. Ultimately, it would result in heightened tensions between the people and the government, incite civil war or civil war preparations which prohibit peaceful solutions.

We don't have a military or police force that sides with the people over the government. We don't have Depression-era conditions in most of the U.S... yet. We don't want civil war or unsafe conditions for women in our major cities.

Which means we have every reason to show restraint. 

Yes, we ought to protest! Be as loud as you want to be! But be wise. What can I say more?

p.s. Sheriff Joe is being charged by the Department of Justice for widespread discrimination and retaliation, a "disregard for Constitutional rights." The Department of Justice has been investigating this for three years, but has not bothered to investigate Fast and Furious nearly half as long. Why? Because Sheriff Joe is currently talking to Washington leaders in an attempt to get Congressional hearings on the fraud issue. Sheriff Joe has said their investigation began with the birth certificate fraud but now includes strong evidence of  many people surrounding the White House deliberately deceiving the public about President Obama's legal documents and history. It's not even a "birther" issue anymore; it's gotten so much bigger than that. Sheriff Joe also recently survived a recall election spurred by out-of-state critics. The only thing he's changed in his job as Sheriff of Maricopa County is this investigation. He's being targeted for refusing to let it go. Watch and wait, my friends. Either he'll be crushed by the government or he may be instrumental in bringing down the most corrupt government administration in U.S. history.
