Sarah Palin Says … Politicians Need To Have Courage To Impeach Obama

September 16, 2014 Frontpage No Comments

By DEXTER DUGGAN

PHOENIX — Sarah Palin called for the kind of politicians who’ll impeach Barack Obama as she neared the conclusion of her remarks at a joint appearance here with Dinesh D’Souza, speaking in a campaign-like atmosphere before more than 2,000 people at the Grand Canyon University arena.
Palin, the former Alaska governor and Republican vice presidential nominee, and D’Souza, the conservative intellectual, author and filmmaker, made aggressive appeals to take up the battle against leftists during their talks at the Christian university on September 4.
Ticking off a list of troubles that the United States is told it can’t cope with, Palin included the inability to secure the border, balance the budget, and stop Obama’s prying Internal Revenue Service.
“The reason that they’re doing it is to wear you out, America,” Palin said. “. . . Don’t fall for that.”
After her talk, Palin took questions from emcee and conservative commentator Katie Pavlich.
Palin said Obama needs to be rebuked.
“We need fighters in Washington, D.C.,” not someone who wouldn’t vote to impeach Obama, Palin said, adding that impeachment wouldn’t remove him from office, but would warn him.
When a candidate asks for her support, Palin said, she asks if he’d vote for impeachment as her way of deciding whether to provide her backing.
“No serious person can deny that [Obama] has violated the Constitution in so many respects,” she said.
Earlier in her talk, Palin focused on the recent emergence of fiercer Islamists in the Mideast — “that terrorist death cult over there certainly has grown.”
Palin alluded to left-wing U.S. feminists protesting perceived domestic slights to women while keeping silent about dire conditions imposed on women in the Mideast, including actual slavery.
“Where are the feminists,” she asked, “the phony, hypocritical feminists” to protest these women’s fate?
George Washington said the way to secure peace is to be ready for war, she said, but Obama’s thinking is exactly the opposite — “Obama is 180 [degrees away] from that. . . .
“We act or we eventually get what we’re trying to hide from,” said Palin, who was on stage for an hour and 20 minutes.
D’Souza, who preceded Palin, said Americans haven’t realized what Obama is up to because his goals are passed off as “social justice,” but the threat is more direct. Progressives, D’Souza told audience members, “want to take half your wealth” to redistribute.
No sooner had he said this than thunder rattled the enclosed arena and the lights went off.
D’Souza ad-libbed that he’s a master of special effects. Lighting quickly was restored with back-up power.
“Never concede the moral high ground” to leftists, D’Souza continued, adding that they should be attacked not only in order to protect freedom “but on the grounds of justice. . . . Don’t concede the issue of justice to the left. . . . We need to fight them on their own ground. We need to build new megaphones” to get out the message.
Earlier in his half-hour talk, D’Souza said Obama is undermining allies of the U.S. and strengthening its enemies while he weakens this nation.
“In my opinion, he wants to make us another Canada,” D’Souza said, adding that Canada is “a nice country” but not a superpower like the U.S.
Obama “is making a ferocious moral attack” on the U.S. and free markets, employing the idea that America’s success “is stolen,” D’Souza said. “. . . If it’s stolen, it belongs to someone else, and you have to give it back.”
D’Souza defined envy as “wanting something that is not yours, and to which you have no right. . . . Envy is a very destructive emotion.”
However, Obama tells people they’re not actually envious, “you’re righteously indignant” over what was stolen, and voting for him will get it back, D’Souza said, adding that Obama’s “not so much a community organizer. He’s a resentment organizer.”
The president doesn’t know how to do what entrepreneurs do nor is he able to understand it, D’Souza said, so “Obama hates these people” — creative people who can satisfy needs that other people didn’t even know they had.
There had been no demand for the iPhone before it was developed, he said, but now “we can’t live without it.”
Can Obama make an iPhone? “He can’t even put up a website,” D’Souza joked about the president’s inability even to debut a reliable site for his Obamacare.
D’Souza, a legal immigrant from India, criticized illegal immigration but praised what the U.S. offers to those who follow the rules.
Arriving in New York, “I realized immediately that my life would be completely different from that moment on,” he said, describing the U.S. as “the chance to be the architect of your own destiny.”
However, D’Souza remarked later, “We’re getting immigrants who have the character of Obama” now — someone who just wants to ride on the bandwagon.
Early in her talk, Palin said Obama’s defenders want people to think this was an uneventful summer, “no illegal immigration, no one sneaking in and breaking our laws . . . nothing impeachable,” no problems with Russia or the Mideast or genocide or the Islamic State coming over here.
But Obama’s record is actually failure. “Midterm elections cannot come soon enough,” Palin said.
“. . . We get the government that we ask for, we get the government that we vote for,” she said, so “we need to do a much better job at getting the vote out. . . . We need leaders who still believe that America is a place of greatness. . . . We need leaders who will lead.”
With terrorists “promising to raise the flag of Allah over the White House,” the answer should be, “We win, they lose,” Palin said. “. . . That dithery, murky, weak kind of foreign policy that we have, that’s no strategy.”
She recalled that Obama was brought up on the radical left, and continued to have radical-left mentors into adulthood: “Barack Obama kicked off his political career in Bill Ayers’ living room.” Ayers co-founded a self-described communist, domestic terrorist group in 1969 that set off public bombings into the 1970s.
As for restoring U.S. eminence, she said, “We can rebuild that worldwide leadership void… It’s kind of like our leaders in Washington don’t believe in us anymore.” However, “We can still be that shining city on the hill” — the example to the world that Ronald Reagan used to invoke.
Referring to current attempts to drive religion from public life, Palin received loud applause when she said the Lord mustn’t be kicked out of the public square.

Abortion Advocates No Longer Consider It “A Necessary Evil,” They Celebrate Killing Babies
