i didnt get a chacne to read what you said, and was just adding the up to the minute stuff.

its nice though that the truth prevailed despite us.

“It was in this context that I came across the picture in Life Magazine of the black man who had tried to peel off his skin . . . I know that seeing that article was violent for me, an ambush attack.”
Barack Obama describes his racial awakening at age nine and the impact of the disturbing image of a black man driven to self mutilation to escape his blackness (Michael Jackson was just a kid at the time). Powerful images.
Also entirely false. Life never published any such photos.

now left librals are saying he is lying…

Left-wing radio talk show host Lynn Samuels accused President Obama of “lying” about where he was born.

Army warrior terminated from job after questioning Obama eligibility

this is starting to get real interesting. they are now dropping officers who question things rather than establish facts.

they are asking for blind fidelity.

The Department of Defense has compelled a private employer to fire a U.S. Army Reserve major from his civilian job after he had his military deployment orders revoked for arguing he should not be required to serve under a president who has not proven his eligibility for office.

lots of people dont realize how important this is, even historically.

if germany had this law, hitler woudl never have existed there.

hitler was austrian.
castro was not cuban
and stalin was georgian

anyone care to expand that list?

it shows that its hard for a despot to rise up in a coutnry they were born in and born to. but a foreign entity has no such baggage, do they?

Oddly, though congressional hearings were held to determine whether Sen. John McCain was constitutionally eligible to be president as a “natural born citizen,” no controlling legal authority ever sought to verify Obama’s claim to a Hawaiian birth.

WND has reported that among the documentation not yet available for Obama includes his kindergarten records, his Punahou school records, his Occidental College records, his Columbia University records, his Columbia thesis, his Harvard Law School records, his Harvard Law Review articles, his scholarly articles from the University of Chicago, his passport, his medical records, his files from his years as an Illinois state senator, his Illinois State Bar Association records, any baptism records, and his adoption records.

care to look at what russia said would be happening soon to us? a crisis that would affect us down to our roots..(while another one fed that the US will break up in to 6 sections)…

say the truth, hide it with a tin hatter taking it way out…

This makes perfect sense to me, for I see Major Cook’s lawyer—not a savvy, full time member of the bar, who would know he would put his career at risk and face enormous odds if he took this case–as either not clued in or a naïve fool, as, marvel of marvels—an idealist who actually believes in the Roman legal adage, Fiat justitia ruat caelum, “let Justice be done, though the sky fall,” or as someone who is pretty savvy and not a naïve fool, but who has decided that the risk/reward calculus is one he is in a position to accept.

Thinking about this a little further, I realized that the situation may be more, perhaps much more, complicated that I stated in my last posting above and, there might be more going on here than just the White House ordering something to be done and the military complying.

Based on the polls I have seen and on common sense, I assume that the military in general in this country is not fond at all of Obama, and I am quite sure that members of the military, especially the officer corps, have, many of them, an exquisite sense of their historical, constitutional, legal and ethical position in their relationship with their Commander in Chief. What if, it was not Obama & Co but the Joint Chiefs or the Department of the Army that gave the order for revocation of the orders, or perhaps the JCS or Army did not raise as strong objections to a White House order as they normally would have—despite how “prejudicial to military discipline” such an outcome would be—thinking the risks justified in order to start the ball rolling on a matter that may be of utmost importance for them?

I have written on these threads recently about “tin foil hat territory” and changing our
”consensus realty” perception of what is possible. Up until the advent of Obama, I would have just assumed—I think almost all of us would have just assumed—that it would be almost impossible for a usurper to become President of the United States. First of all, we all would have thought, I bet, that no one would have the “audacity” to try. We would have all thought that the MSM would have caught on early and blown the whistle. We would have all thought that, somewhere along the line, the Federal Elections Commission, or the DNC, or the Speaker of the House—who all have some responsibility for vetting the candidates for President—would have done their duty to our country and stopped any possible usurper from even running. We would have thought that the Courts or the Congress itself would have—at the slightest possibility or hint of trouble-stepped in, and blocked such a fatal blow to our Constitution, our democracy, our unbroken tradition of Presidential legitimacy, and our “domestic tranquility.” But—despite troubling questions and arguably convincing evidence, questions and evidence that should be thoroughly explored—none of them has done their duty and, in fact, they have either disclaimed or ducked their responsibilities, or have actively helped Obama to prevail. We are now and truly, I believe, in Banana Republic, in Hugo Chavez territory.

Thus, the last line of defense for our Constitution and our Democracy is our military—reassuringly the institution that polls consistently show our citizens have the highest faith and trust in and respect for, which is why I find this story so interesting, and why I find Obama’s reaction to the recent events in Honduras so interesting, too.

Horatio Alger made the rags-to-riches story insanely popular in the 1800s. Damon Runyan’s stories from his collected works “Guys and Dolls” were the basis for a hell of a lot of movies because once in a while a guy could make something of himself. (There was even a Shirley Temple flick, “Little Miss Marker” – although it didn’t have the sad ending).

It used to be called the American Dream story – even the lowest-born kid might make something of himself, with hard work to overcome obstacles.

What makes it less compelling is that EVERY athlete has to train hard and Olympians need sponsors because the cost is so high. It’s kind of like “Extreme Makeover”, which no one in my family watches anymore: If your whole community has nominated you for help, it’s because there’s tragedy or terrible circumstances in your life.
