Execution, impeachment, lawlessness talk reveal Republican moral degeneracy
The Republican Party is becoming morally degenerate. Some aspects of their moral degeneracy stem from their cruel, heartless policies toward the poor, gays, minorities, undocumented immigrants and women. As sad as that is, what is truly frightening is their despicable, treasonous, even violence threatening statements about the President.
The new GOP talking point being pushed by Speaker John Boehner, House Majority Whip Eric Cantor and former GOP VP candidate Paul Ryan is lawlessness. They have synchronized their charges that President Obama is a "lawless" president. Speaker Boehner went so far as to charge immigration reform is unlikely because the GOP doesn't trust the President to enforce the law.
If the lawlessness charge is not enough, a despicable cabal of GOP Congressmen are threatening impeachment, over apparently, their inability to prevent the President's re-election. Former representative Bob Barr of Georgia, who led the impeachment of President Clinton, is making a House comeback bid, based solely on, you guessed it, impeachment. An interviewer was so flummoxed by Barr's delusional charge he assumed Barr was joking. Barr replied he was dead serious.
But by far the worst trend in the morally degenerate GOP is the willingness of some GOP congressmen to allow their yahoo constituents to speak of the need for the President to be killed without uttering a peep of protest. See video below of Congressman Jim Bridenstein (Rep. OK) who listens to his constituent say "Obama is an enemy combatant who should be executed". Instead of condemning this monstrous statement, Bridenstein starts his long anti-president diatribe with these words: "Look, everybody knows the lawlessness of this President." Maybe the Secret Service should invite Congressman Bridenstein for a chat about presidential safety.

Every citizen, especially every decent Republican, must step up and call out these reckless public officials and party leaders who are shamelessly tearing our fragile political fabric to compensate for lack of substance on virtually every issue we face. This is not political hardball. It is moral degeneracy and it must end.
