I think the eventual answer to the question in the title is “Yes,” at some point in the not-too-distant future, the Republican-led House will (try to) impeach Joe Biden. It won’t go anywhere, of course. Even if Kevin McCarthy can hold enough Republicans together to get an impeachment conviction (not a given), the Democratic-led Senate will never remove Traitor Joe from office. Still, the Republicans know their “base” wants impeachment charges brought against Biden. Why hasn’t it been done yet?
Everybody and his dumb dog can see that the Biden crime family is guilty of “high crimes” and probably a few dozen “misdemeanors” as well. There are many Republican faithful who are wondering what the impeachment holdup is. The “Stupid Party” is dragging its heels while the Democrats have indicted the leading Republican Presidential candidate four times—one charge of which Biden is also guilty. Again, why are the Republicans dawdling?
Part of the answer lies in one basic, essential difference between the Republican and Democratic parties. Or, more fundamentally, between the “Right” and the “Left.” The Democratic Party is the party of modern Leftist thought, which includes various shades of socialism, communism, fascism, and other such totalitarian systems. Because basic modern “Leftism” begins with atheism (Karl Marx: “Communism begins where atheism begins”), then, without a God, government becomes the highest authority in the world. Since God has been dismissed as the Creator, Author, and Final Moral Arbiter of humanity, “government” has assumed that role (in Leftist ideology). Without God, government has all power, all wisdom, all ability, and has become the final authority and solution to every problem humanity faces. That is true power, heady stuff to godless, egocentric maniacs who have no moral code above themselves. Atheism is the fundamental foundation of modern Leftism, including the Democratic Party, and that philosophy has come to dominate and pervade all facets of human existence. Government is the answer to every problem.
Got a poverty problem? “Why doesn’t government do something?” Crime is a conundrum? “Why doesn’t the government ‘defund the police’?” Illegal aliens everywhere? “Why doesn’t government give them free health care and put them up in nice hotels at taxpayer expense?” Good grief, these people have their heads so far up government’s backside that they think government can even change the weather and the nature of man. There is no God to do it, individuals can’t, so government can and must. I got so weary, in China, of reading essays where a student would mention some problem, and invariably—INVARIABLY!—the solution would be “the government needs to do X.” That is Leftist philosophy. That is what they believe and that is what they teach. Government is now God.
The Democratic Party has swallowed this bilge totally. They believe in government, and they are very good at it. It is their core foundational creed—government exists to solve ALL problems. So, Democrats have learned how to use government power to attempt to achieve all of their ends. You NEVER hear a Democrat talk about virtue, individual responsibility, accepting consequences for one’s actions (unless it is Donald Trump). That isn’t what they believe in.
The Republican Party has, to an extent, followed this Pied Piper, but not as religiously. You and I, the “base” of the Republican Party, DO believe in individual responsibility, virtue, decency, accountability, etc., and we try to elect people who believe in those things, too. Republicans in power have certainly often tried to use government to their advantage, but basic “conservative,” “Rightist” thought still believes in God, in individual accountability, that people must be virtuous and take care of themselves, and that there are things which government simply cannot accomplish effectively. This was certainly the view of our Founding Fathers, but it was demolished by Charles Darwin, Karl Marx, Franklin Roosevelt, and those who have followed in their footsteps. But most “conservatives” still hold to these principles. Our rights come from God, not government. The Left denies this, of course. If there is no God, then He obviously can’t give us any “rights.” Only government, as the highest authority in existence, can. And whatever rights government gives, it can also take away (go live in China if you don’t believe that). The Democrats still cannot say that publicly, but that is EXACTLY what they believe, and don’t any of you Leftists deny it. This is the core foundation of Leftism and its offspring such as the Democratic Party of America. The core.
So, the Republican Party basically just isn’t very good at “government” because they don’t believe in it as strongly as Democrats do. Republicans don’t know how to use government and thus they work slowly. Back to the question in the title—will Republicans impeach Biden? Yes, but at their own pace. Slowly, because that is how Republicans often use government. It isn’t always a bad thing.
Again, I do believe that, at some point, the Republicans will (try to) impeach Biden. But timing is critical here. The Republicans don’t want to be perceived as impeaching Biden out of “revenge” for what Democrats did—twice—to Trump. The Republicans must build a solid case to present to the American people. They need to show Americans the irrefutable evidence of Biden’s criminal activity. Perception is very important here, and moving cautiously, to garner irrefutable evidence and present the strongest case, is not unwise. It frustrates us some, but it is better to move slowly and have a powerful justification than to operate too rapidly and be perceived as acting from impure motives. So the “when” of impeachment is critical. They will be cursed by the Left regardless of when they do it, but that is politics. Impeachment will come, but hopefully, at the right time.
To understand much of Republican vs. Democratic activity, it is crucial to understand the basic philosophic differences between the two parties. Republicans often fumble at government, and that isn’t always a bad thing.
