IMPEACHED: Feelings quite clear

Political correctness is such a priority today our mainstream media should be obliged to also watch what is printed and said. For example, while it is technically correct that the president of the United States was impeached by the U.S. House of Representatives, it is much more correct to say that he was impeached by the U.S. House of Representatives members who were Democrats.

Furthermore in the interest of fairness, it should also be reported that this is the seventh time a bill of impeachment has been introduced in this Congress from the same Democrats. It should be further noted that House Democrats have ranted about the need to impeach the president before he was sworn into office.

Democrats ranted about the need for speed in this process, now they seem willing to adjourn for Christmas and there is speculation they may not send the articles of impeachment to the Senate. The Democrats in the House seem to be saying that before they will send the articles of impeachment to the Senate, that the Senate will need to comply with House demands on the conduct of the Senate trial.

If I had a son who declared himself a Democrat, I think I would disown him, remove him from my will, and petition the court to change his name, pay for a one-way ticket for him to Somalia and forbid the mention of his name in my presence.

I would not walk across the street to watch the Democratic Party choke on its own vitriol, offensiveness, falsifications, treachery and destruction of the greatest experiment in self-government ever undertaken.
