Would it delight you if Congress went ahead an impeached Bush43 for Benghazi?
First of all, let the record state that in this JE discussion, you brought up Benghazi first :)
Second, there is about as much meaningful evidence towards impeaching any of GWB, Obama, the ghost of Reagan, your mom, or the easter bunny for Benghazi. Take your pick of any from that list and see what you can accomplish using the evidence you have provided thus far. Furthermore, I will go on to say that I don't support impeaching any of them based on what is actually known about Benghazi so far.

I do like "non-troversy", though.
I cannot take credit for that term. First use I encountered of it was in response to the story that had slashdot's conservative base all up in arms about a kid having their lunch taken away at school by some bureaucrat. The story sounded terrible until we learned the truth that the kid's was offered some additional food from the school lunch line and never had their lunch taken away - hence it was a "non-troversy".

Blaming Wilson for everything is perfectly ok. Well, like Wilson, Bush simply put in some very regrettable policies which we will suffer for a very long time. Obama's major issue is the continuation and expansion of these policies and those from his predecessors. Feel free to use him as your new Godwin as you blame him for every failure the country experiences from here on out. These policies are his policies now, not Bush's or anybody else's. Your faction (sect) still has yet to offer up anything better.

What you can't, after a century, is defend the bi-partisan collapse into a pathetic and sad little tyranny. I hope they go ahead and pass the debt ceiling increase in advance of any legislation being written, because Congress really has to work hard to jack up the farce factor in our government.
Maybe, as an Easter Egg in the next fat, unread piece of legislation, they can give everyone a Krugmanerrand [theothermccain.com].

Like Mark Levin, you don't seem to have a clear understanding of what that word means.
My wife, a patriotic naturalized American who grew up under an actual tyranny, could explain it to you if you had ears to hear.
Amazing that all it takes is black skin to turn a moderate democrat into the worstest tyrant that the world has ever seen in history.

Why do you need a "corollary to Godwin's Law" when the original is still so meaningful?

I listen to Levin occasionally on the commute home. Correcting for bombast, as he is indeed a radio personality, I still find him a reasonable observer of the situation. If Levin says "tyranny", I'm inclined to go with that until BHO does something other than emulate past tyrants, e.g. surrounding himself with children while setting about crushing li

Wilson cultivated the garden that was panted a very long time ago. You're grasping at straws, looking for anything at all to single out a specific individual.
You can even try to be an apologist... What you can't, after a century, is defend the bi-partisan collapse into a pathetic and sad little tyranny...

"Well considered"? Please... Not a great believer in precedence, are you? The standard Wall Street investment firm disclaimer, "Past history is not necessarily indicative of future outcomes", does not apply here. There is no incentive to change their behavior.

Action, in and of itself, is just as likely to harm as hurt.
Having a plan, circulating it & gaining some consensus takes time, but mitigates a lot of risk.
There are sufficient guns and ammo in circulation that getting jumpy is a Bad Idea.
The good news is that the plan of What To Do is over 220 years old.
The bad news is that thieves have despoiled it.

In any peaceful discussion about Catholicism in which people are actually trying to figure out what the religion teaches and the relation to reason and science, the probability approaches one that some atheist troll will jump in with "All Catholic priests rape altar boys", in complete ignorance of the John Jay report. And will follow up with some inane comment about priestly celibacy, despite the fact that every single priest who ever caused a sexual scandal either did not take, or lied about their vow of
