Some years ago, the University of Nebraska asked our firm to help build a

crowd for a debate between William Rusher, the publisher of the conservative

National Review Magazine, and Nat Hentoff, of the liberal The Village Voice.

 

 

While William Rusher and William F. Buckley, Jr. and National Review, were

already familiar, it was only necessary to read a few back issues of The

Village Voice to understand that Nat Hentoff was (and is) one of the world’s

most articulate liberals. We filled the auditorium; however, we didn’t know

what to expect. Would the debaters be civil or uncivil?

 

 

More than civil, they listened respectfully to what the other had to say.

The audience was treated to the best ideas that both conservatism and

liberalism had to offer in an atmosphere of respect and even genuine

friendship between the two icons of their differing points of view.

 

 

Unfortunately, in April, 2012, Mr. Rusher went to his Eternal rest.

Fortunately, Mr. Hentoff is still with us and continues to give voice to

liberal causes. But what brings this particular column about is that Mr.

Hentoff, the consummate left-winger, has just called for the impeachment of

President Obama, saying that Mr. Obama is the most dangerous and destructive

president ever and is far worse than Mr. Hentoff’s former target, President

Richard Nixon.

 

 

Mr. Hentoff says Mr. Obama has thrown the U.S. Constitution under the bus

and is ruling as a dictator. As evidence, Hentoff cites Mr. Obama’s delay of

the employer mandate in ObamaCare, the changing of types of plans available

under ObamaCare, ignoring our immigrations laws, refusing to deport illegal

immigrants, enacting stricter gun-control measures without Congressional

legislation, sealing his presidential records, creating government offices

and Czars without authorization, and changing the pay grades of selected

federal employees without authority.

 

 

For some work-a-day Americans, these burrs under Mr. Hentoff’s saddle might

seem insignificant; however, one of conservatism’s leading voices, St.

John’s University Professor M. Northrup Buechner, writing in Forbes Magazine

on November 19, 2013, says Mr. Obama’s unlawful actions could lead to a

troubling scenario: “A Republican Congress is elected and repeals ObamaCare

over a Democrat President’s veto. The President refuses to enforce the

repeal. The Supreme Court rules that the President’s refusal is unconstitutional.

The President denounces the ruling and refuses to be bound by it.

 

 

“If the President persists in rejecting all authority other than his own, the 

Dénouement [outcome] would depend on the side taken by the Armed Forces…”

 

 

Writing in The Washington Times on November 12, 2013, Commander J.D. Gordon,

USN (Ret.), a former Pentagon spokesman, says “…every week since President

Obama took office, we’ve been hearing that another top leader has been

summarily fired, despite decades of loyal service and valuable experience

protecting the nation. Statistically speaking, it’s actually closer to one every 8.8 

days, a staggering 200 military brass shown the door in less than five years.

 

 

Thus, one wonders if this Stalin-like purge of generals and admirals is a

precautionary step taken by Mr. Obama in advance of a descent into the

darkness of a Constitutional crisis.

 

 

“Fasten your seatbelts, this is going to be a bumpy flight.”
