Impeach Him Now!

We recall that in 2006 the United Methodist Church's chief social-issues spokesman, the Rev. Jim Winkler, called on Congress to impeach President Bush for pursuing war against radical Islamic terrorists.  He stated that "there was nothing Christian" in the President's response to the 9/11 attacks.

We believe there is "nothing Christian" in flouting the Constitution of the United States, refusing the duty a President has to defend and enforce the nation's laws, and there is manifestly "nothing Christian" in the President's using the powers of his office to war against the foundation of Christian civilization, the family.  There is "nothing Christian" in saying during his 2008 campaign: "I do not support gay marriage. Marriage has religious and social connotations, and I consider marriage to be between a man and a woman" and then reversing that position three years later.  Was the President lying to Americans then, or is he lying now?  What other presidential convictions are built on shifting sands?

We strongly doubt that Obama is eligible for the office  that has been entrusted to him.  There is no longer any doubt that he is unqualified, and the articles for impeachment are many.  We join Representative Trent Franks (R-Ariz.) in calling on Congress to impeach Barack Hussein Obama for all of these and for refusing to defend the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) in federal court.  Please sign the petition calling for the impeachment of this anti-American and anti-Christian president.

Catholic Bishops Join Evangelicals, Others in Urging House to Defend DOMA

From Catholic World News

Archbishop Wilton Gregory of Atlanta, chairman of the US bishops’ committee on ecumenical and interreligious affairs, and Bishop Salvatore Cordileone of Oakland, chairman of the bishops’ ad hoc committee on defense of marriage, have called upon the US House of Representatives to defend the Defense of Marriage Act in federal court cases. The Obama administration announced recently that it would no longer defend the 1996 law against legal challenges.

“By choosing to no longer defend DOMA in federal court because it believes the law to be unconstitutional, the Obama Administration has undermined the rule of law and the separation of powers,” the bishops said. “The House has the authority to rectify this lapse in judgment. We implore you to lead the House to take the important, necessary step to protect American law, American families, and American values by defending DOMA and protecting the true meaning of marriage.”

The bishops were joined by evangelical, Southern Baptist, traditional Anglican, Foursquare Gospel, and Sikh leaders.
