Alan Keyes has been attempting to rally conservatives to back the impeachment and removal of President Obama, telling them that if Congress doesnt act, then violence may ensue.
Keyes writes today in WorldNetDaily that just as the Founding Fathers detailed their grievances before launching the American Revolution, the House of Representatives can use impeachment to to substantiate the morally reasonable basis for their stand in defense of liberty. It allows and requires them to justify, before God and the decent opinion of humankind, why they are conscientiously determined to stand even despite the vicissitudes of war, rather than submit to tyranny.
He argues that if the Senate shields the perpetrators of executive abuses, even when, to a large majority of the people, their abuse have become insufferable, then outright rebellion becomes an option.

Keyes lost to Obama in the 2004 Senate elections, he only got 27% of the vote. He clearly has yet to get over it.

(1,905 posts)An average Joe would be arrested on serious charges for bu$hit like this. The day will come when some of the conservanazis, who believe their own lies, will take up arms and try something really, really stupid. I hope that happens. I really do so they can't be taught a lesson they may never forget.
