REAL REASON TO IMPEACH OBAMA

Looking at the political landscape in Washington D.C. it seems obvious that the House of Representatives will impeach Obama if he grants amnesty. That is a weak and fabricated excuse. The truth is that they will impeach him no matter what he does on that issue. Speaker Boehner’s double talk is making an ass of him. The Republicans have definite goals they want to see made into law but they will not do what they want, because that is wildly unpopular. It is notable that people are demanding they do something about an obvious need of immigration reform, yet even with a defined problem, they still refuse to do anything. My point is that all of this impeachment talk about immigration is nonsense to detract from what they really want to do.

All that is taking place in Washington, especially all that is happening within the dark inner workings of the Republican Party, seems to confuse serious students of democracy. The lack of openness should be a warning that they do not want the public to know their reasons, meaning this strange situation relates to things they are not willing to discuss in polite conversation. A large segment, not a majority, but still a large segment, of the population do not want to admit to being opposed to a larger series of small social issues; funding public education, gay pride, same sex marriage, feminism and women’s liberation, racism, anti-Muslim sentiment, government spying need to prevent terrorism, rights of United States Citizens, corporate handling of private personal information, support of water boarding torture, closing Guantanamo, etc.

People are so ashamed at their own selfishness they will not admit they do not want to pay to educate other people’s children. Their homophobic bigotry for same sex marriage is palpable especially in the south and west. We repeatedly see xenophobia express as a call to ban burkas on Facebook. Hate for having a black man in the White House is also something people will whisper but are not willing to talk about openly, at least in polite company. What is unusual, perhaps a thing of our times is that political operatives have gathered these small, often regionally intense, hate groups into one big coalition flying the Republican banner. Unfortunately, they have collectively condensed to gain control of the House of Representatives. It would be difficult for anyone of the people in these different groups to say they support impeaching the president for such “politically incorrect” things as being black, or his support of gay marriage, or whatever.

I have found that although members of this group often make statements about how they hate Obama or hat political correctness, they are never willing to say why. However, if they try to impeach him, they will have to write up the charges, which will be most interesting to read. They would have to admit they want to impeach him for doing his job well. They will never admit to the truth, which is their collective bigotry, their real reason for wanting that outcome.
