Law enforcement press conference 1pm (MST) March 1st re: Obama's eligibility

WWW.DRUDGEREPORT.COM
WorldNetDaily
...review of allegations that Obama may be using – or attempt to use – a fraudulent document to have his name placed on the 2012 presidential election ballot in Arizona.


Without releasing any details, Arpaio has said the results “could be a shock."

...media organizations from all political persuasions seek admittance to a news conference to be held by Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Maricopa County, Ariz.

The event is tomorrow at 1 p.m. Mountain Standard Time in Phoenix, 3 p.m. Eastern, and will be live-streamed by WND.

The topic of discussion will be an investigation by Arpaio’s Cold Case Posse into concerns about Obama’s eligibility, the first time an official law enforcement report has addressed many of the allegations about the presumptive 2012 Democratic nominee for president.

Those issues include his eligibility under the U.S. Constitution’s requirements, questions about his use of a Connecticut Social Security number, the image of his purported birth certificate from Hawaii and others.

Pay to play

Ahuja, who had never donated to Democrats before and has not since, gave the maximum allowable $30,400 contribution to the Democratic National Committee on the same day his lawyers were trying to arrange a meeting for him at the White House with top Obama technology adviser Aneesh Chopra and other officials.

In emails between Ahuja’s lawyers and White House officials Ahuja wanted to meet with, his lawyers pointed out that he would attend an Obama fundraiser on or about the same day he wanted the meeting.

No American president has ever allowed an international crisis to come so close to the brink

American Thinker: Here Comes Obama's 3 AM Phone Call

First high gas prices, now water

A shocking new report about the nation's crumbling drinking water system says that Americans should expect their bills to double or triple to cover repairs just to keep their faucets pouring. That means adding up to $900 a year more for water, nearly equal the amount of the newly extended payroll tax cut.

Fixing and expanding underground drinking water systems will cost over $1 trillion in the next 25 years and users will get socked with the bill, according to the American Water Works Association.

For fifteen (out of the last twenty years) I had three cats. Now we're down to just one, but she's like having three :-)

I've also had several dogs -- one for 17 years -- and I love all of them.

Cats are easier, though, and give you a bit more freedom since they always have their litter boxes. I hate thinking about the discomfort (and maybe even medical problems) when dogs can't just go when they need to and have to wait for their owners to come home (and I'm not talking about being gone for days at a time or anything like that.)

Still, we keep thinking about getting one except we're afraid of what our cat would do to us (they really know how to make you pay :-)

The Greatest Trick the Devil Ever Pulled . . . 1
Posted by Ann Barnhardt - February 23, AD 2012 10:47 PM MST

Lent began yesterday [2/22/12] and it is now that we recall Christ’s 40 day fast in the desert wherein He was tempted by satan.

I have zero engagement with the presidential election cycle and see nothing of it except the headlines. If you haven’t figured it out yet, the Republican primaries are pure theater designed to serve as a distraction for the intellectual caste one step above the American Idol and Ballroom Dancing crowd. It is all bread and circuses, just with 15-20 more I.Q. points. If you are falling for any of it, and are on “So-and-so’s team” as opposed to “Whosis’ team”, you should be embarrassed. Especially you Ron Paul people. Your faux-savior and Mitt Romney fall asleep in each other’s proverbial embrace with Paul looking up at Romney and whispering, “Make Rand VP and I’ll do . . . anything.” And then Mitt kisses him on the temple and they giggle and have a ticklefight. Yeah, that’s your savior of the Republic. Embarrassed much?

Anyway, I saw the headlines about people jumping all over Santorum for saying that satan was attacking the United States, with the implication being that no serious person actually believes in satan, and that’s all for the slackjawed idiots and dimwitted children or something. And yet, most of these people, if asked, would claim to be Christians. Apparently just not the “stupid kind” of Christian who “actually believes any of that shit in the Bible.” There I go using the language again, but that’s the only way I can get most of you people to comprehend anything. What I just said is EXACTLY what Christianity is today, and is exactly what the tyrant Obama is now explicitly enforcing – or attempting to enforce. You can claim to be a Christian just as long as you “don’t actually believe any of that shit.” If you actually believe any of it, you’re “insane”or “stupid” and will be ridiculed mercilessly until you are driven completely out of the public sphere; and now with ObamaCare, if you actually believe in Christianity and live that belief, then you will be breaking the law.

Is satan real? Of course. I did a quick keyword search and the word “satan” appears in the Bible 46 times, with all but 13 of those instances being in the New Testament, with 12 of those being quotes of Jesus Himself speaking. The word “devil” or “devils” appears 106 times, with all but four of those being in the New Testament. The word “serpent” references satan five times in the book of Genesis. Now I fully realize that this evidence means nothing to atheists. Fine, fine. That’s not who I’m talking about. I’m talking about MOST CHRISTIANS, or should I say, people who IDENTIFY as Christians, who scoff at the notions of satan, hell, sin, or even the concept of evil. These people have been taught by the Marxist infiltrators that there is no truth, only differing perspectives. There is no “sin”, only “deeply personal decisions of equal merit.” They have been taught that there is no such thing as evil, only “diversity” which is to be “tolerated” and now elevated and celebrated at all costs. Therefore, the notion of a being who is pure evil, hates humanity, and is active and afoot in the world, influencing people and events, is completely untenable for these people. Nevermind the 157 specific mentions of said entity and his army in the Bible, with almost 90% of those mentions being in the New Testament. Yeah, I guess Jesus must be a stupid idiot, too. Thank goodness we have the Jesuits and super-fun rockband church to save us from our superstitious redneck idiot of a Savior and His stupid “satan” talk.

Which brings us to Lent. Jesus went into the desert and fasted for 40 days, and was thrice tempted by satan. Interestingly, the three temptations match up exactly with Marxism, and really all totalitarian political systems. I’m lifting heavily from Fulton Sheen’s “Life of Christ” here, and recommend buying this book for your home library. Read Matthew chapter 4 to review the Temptation narrative.

Temptation number one from satan was telling Jesus to turn stones into bread. This is the Marxist ploy of winning the mob by giving them free stuff, and equating material abundance with salvation. Given what has happened economically over the last 50 years, and in particular the political mindset today of the government magically providing abundance for the people by blowing an enormous, unsustainable debt bubble that is going to destroy everything, can we not see the parallel?
The evil spirit was saying, “Start with the primacy of the economic! Forget about sin!” He still says this today in different words, “My Commissar goes into classrooms and asks children to pray to God for bread. And when their prayers are not answered, my Commissar feeds them. The Dictator gives bread; God does not, because there is no God, there is no soul; there is only the body, pleasure, sex, the animal, and when we die, that is the end.” --Life of Christ, page 69
This is exactly what Obama is setting up vis a vis the Church. He is counting on the cowardly, faithless bishops to not engage is civil disobedience (go to the Cross), but rather close and/or sell Catholic hospitals. Obama will then point to the Church and say, “See? God will not provide you with healthcare. But I will.” The Obama regime truly is a collective antichrist.

The Greatest Trick the Devil Ever Pulled . . . 2
Posted by Ann Barnhardt - February 23, AD 2012 10:47 PM MST

The second temptation of Christ by satan was to win the mob via pride, vanity and egomania. In the case of Christ, the temptation was to perform an actual public demonstration of His divinity so that no one would have any choice but know that He was God. In the case of Marxists, it is to con people into believing that they will work miracles, and that they are “god”. Uh, do I even have to write the rest of this section? Seriously. Greek columns. Receding oceans. Quoting now one Peggy Joseph:
”I'd never thought this day would ever happen. I won't have to worry 'bout putting gas in my car, I won't have to worry 'bout payin' my mortgage. You know, If I help him, he's gonna help me." --Peggy Joseph, October 29, 2008
The truth that would answer this temptation was that faith in God must never contradict reason. --Life of Christ, page 73
Everything that the Obama regime says and does in the economic sphere is totally and completely contrary to reason, most particularly elementary mathematical reason. The government cannot spend more than it takes in and ever, ever reduce, much less eliminate debt. The Obama regime is a collective antichrist.

The third temptation of Christ by satan was the temptation to compromise and parley with evil. Satan told Jesus that he would give him the world, if Jesus would only bow down and serve him. Obama has offered to lift 100% of the financial burden of caring for the indigent sick off of the Church, if the Church will only bow down and declare the Marxist doctrine that all sex is purely animal by accepting and paying for contraception and sterilization, and all human life is animal by accepting and paying for abortion. The bishops today would do well to heed Fulton Sheen’s interpretation of Christ’s response to satan:
”I shall tell them that it profits them nothing to win the whole world if they lose their immortal souls. You may keep your kingdoms for the moment. Better the loss of all your kingdoms, of the whole world even, than the loss of a single soul! The kingdoms of the world must be elevated to the Kingdom of God; the Kingdom of God will not be dragged down to the kingdoms of the world. All I now want of this earth is a place large enough to erect a Cross; there I shall let you unfurl Me before the crossroads of your world!” --Life of Christ, pages 77-78.
The Obama regime is truly, truly a collective antichrist, and must be fought, denied and utterly rejected as such. Of this, have no doubt whatsoever: satan is real, and he is spending a hell of a lot of time in Washington D.C. these days.

Pasteurized milk 150 times more contaminated with blood, pus and feces than fresh milk

NaturalNews.com Videos the CDC won't show you!

Several years ago my doctor, who is a Diplomat of Internal Medicine from Harvard AND a Diplomat of Nutrition from UCLA, put me on a four day raw milk fast. After the second day, I felt no hunger and so great that I wondered why I would ever have to bother eating again!

I just checked at Whole Foods Market the other day and they are no longer carrying raw milk!

I'm torn on this subject, and found this chilling new report from Natural News unsettling. It seems that the only 100% safe alternative is to not drink ANY milk (and, of course, a lot of information points to milk not being the best choice for adults anyway due to the mucous-producing possibilities).

My pulmonologist recently told me that he doesn't tell his patients to automatically voice mucous-producing foods--he feels that you have to decide that on an individual basis depending on how these foods affect your body.

Please post a comment if you have any insights into this situation.

Is Media Matters Obama's Watergate?

A full, complete and thorough congressional investigation -- just as was done with the Senate Watergate Committee -- is in order. Will Harry Reid do this? Of course not. So the ball bounces to the House. And what will they be looking for? As with Nixon in Watergate, these congressional investigators will be looking for one, very simple thing -- a simple thing expressed in multiples of ways by multiples of people. That would be?

Abuse of power.

10. In 1988, Pan Am Flight 103 was bombed by Muslim males.

11. In 1993, the World Trade Center was bombed the first time by Muslim males.

12. In 1998, the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania were bombed by Muslim males.

13. On 9/11/01, four airliners were hijacked. Two were used as missiles to take down the World Trade Centers and of the remaining two, one crashed into the US Pentagon and the other was diverted and crashed by the passengers. Thousands of people were killed by Muslim males.

14. In 2002, the United States fought a war in Afghanistan against Muslim males.

15. In 2002, reporter Daniel Pearl was kidnapped and beheaded by--you guessed it--Muslim males.

...and, in 2008, our government was hijacked by a Muslim male.

Indiana next state for Obama eligibility protest...

Even as a challenge to Barack Obama’s name on the 2012 primary election ballot in Georgia moves to the appeals court level, the next state up for the arguments appears to be Indiana, which in just the last few weeks has removed a state official from office over eligibility issues.

And there appear to be other state challenges lined up to follow even that one, including pending cases in Mississippi and Arizona.

Citizens across the country are utilizing each state’s election procedures to challenge Obama’s name on the 2012 ballot because of questions over his eligibility which were raised during the 2008 campaign but have yet to be resolved.

The darkest secret of all...

There’s little doubt that she let me and 18 million voters anguish over the 2008 Democratic primary debacle because she and Obama planned it that way. Together. Why? Because, they had to disassociate themselves from one another, completely, and it had to be convincing. The tie that binds them is the darkest secret, of all, and not a whiff of it was coming out until after the election had safely passed. In the last few weeks, I have had to come to terms with the fact that the Clintons go way back with Obama’s family….way back to 1977, at least...

How the Tea Party was born...never forget

HillBuzz:
The only good thing that came out of the stimulus package was something that the Obama administration never expected: An angry, silent majority that woke up, realized that they’d been sold down the river, and who decided to fight back. Tea party groups quickly sprang up across the U.S., and this silent majority was silent no more.

Today, those same citizens have put down their signs, and are now working behind the scenes in communities everywhere, fighting to take our country back from the oppressive mandates that this administration has hoisted upon them.

Don’t you believe the media for one minute when they tell you that the tea party is dead. The party is stronger than ever, and they will not stop until the Obama administration and their marxist-like policies are stricken from this nation.

Watch Santelli’s historic rant, and remember that if it weren’t for the stimulus, the tea party never would have been born. Thanks for that, Mr. President!

Jesus rejects ZIRP (it's in the Bible)

Jesus Rejects ZIRP. It's In The Bible. (Part 1)
Posted by Ann Barnhardt - February 14, AD 2012 9:02 PM MST
ZIRP stands for "Zero Interest Rate Policy."

There is a lot of misunderstanding out in the world about the charging of interest. The nutball anti-Semites would have you believe that ALL banking and finance is an immoral activity and construct of the JOOOOOOZ. Those people are also stupid, and many of them are genuinely psychiatrically ill. Have I ever mentioned how much insanity and evil lands in my email box? Yeah. Quite a bit. Thanks be to God that He made me the steely, obdurate battle-ax that I am, so that I can laugh at that garbage rather than get all squishy and sensitive about it.

Super-fun rockband church is too busy drooling on its shirt and watching the flashing lights to even consider such non-canine-level concepts.

The distinction that needs to be made here is between interest and usury. Usury, in the modern sense of the word, is the charging of obscenely high interest rates, and is often directed at those who are desperate - so not only is usury screwing people, it is screwing people who are, for whatever reason, exceptionally vulnerable. Yeah. That's evil. However, in the ancient origins of the word, “usury” referred to any interest, even fair interest rates. Keep that in mind for later.

The charging of interest is NOT evil or sinful. In fact, interest is utterly essential to a healthy, moral economy. Here's the deal. Money is the device that men use to give value to their capacity to produce - whether that production be the production of a clean toilet in a Burger King by getting down on one's knees and scrubbing the thing with a brush, or the production of a new life-saving drug or revolutionary device. From toilet scrubbing to cars or laptops, it is all production of a good, borne from human drive, energy, action and reason. Further, money is an inherently hopeful and socially unitive thing. Money requires that men trust in each other, and hope in each other's goodness and honesty not just in the present, but also into the future.

Why do you think the evil satanic Marxists who have now taken over this country are doing everything they can to debase and destroy the currency? Because they want to utterly destroy social cohesion. They want to literally break our spirits. They want to break us of any independent drive to action or productivity. They want to sap us of all of our creative energy. They want us to stop trusting in each other. Why? So that THEY will be the only thing anyone can turn to. THEY want to be the SOURCE of production, and thus THEY will be in control of all wages, earnings and, ultimately, all wealth. They want all creative energy to serve one end: THEM and THEIR PERSONAL WEALTH. They want everyone sniping and mistrustful of everyone else so that while we are busy fighting with each other we won't notice that THEY are raping us mercilessly and unceasingly. They want us to stop hoping and just give up.

I'm just paraphrasing Francisco d'Anconia's speech on money from "Atlas Shrugged." Here is a link to the excerpt. READ IT. And spare me the emails claiming that to quote Rand is to deny Christ. Yes, she was an atheist, but don’t you think that God is powerful enough to reveal Himself through atheists, too? If you don’t believe that is possible, then you need to give up pretty much everything in your life that has any origin in any mathematics or physics discoveries of the last 100+ years. Including all medical imaging and computers. To start. Don’t be obtuse.

Now back to interest rates. Now that we know what money actually is, namely an exchangeable, fungible representation of man's capacity to create and produce, we can easily understand what the TIME VALUE OF MONEY is.

If you are going to let someone else use your money for a period of time, you will, by definition, NOT get to use that money yourself. Thus, you are giving up something very real in loaning your money out, and you need to be reasonably compensated for what you are giving up. This is the TIME VALUE OF MONEY, or "interest".

Let's take some of my cattlemen clients. They know how to generate a consistent return on their money by trading cattle. For the sake of simplicity, let's call that rate of return 10% per year (my yound Jedi Padawan in Nebraska who has seen a triple-digit return over the last year is laughing his Jedi keister off right now). If they would loan their money to a bank in the form of a certificate of deposit, they would be losing a fortune. Why? Because the bank would only pay 1% on a one-year CD, and my guys could make 10%. They would be squandering the TIME VALUE of their money.

So, what ZIRP, or zero interest rate policy, which is what the evil Federal Reserve has done since 2008, is to effectively declare that our money is worthless – completely independent of the whole gold standard/fiat currency argument. That isn’t even what we’re talking about here. Money has no time value. Think about that. Your human capacity to produce has no time value. Loan someone all of the money that you earned working for the last year. Let them use that money for a year. When it is time to pay it back, you will get exactly what you started with back, MINUS ONE YEAR OF YOUR LIFE and all of the productivity and innovation that could have happened in that year. This is intentional. The objective of ZIRP is NOT to stimulate the economy. The objective of ZIRP is to grind the economy to a halt so that there is no private investment or entrepreneurship - only fascistic government raping of the public coffers and exponentially increasing public dependence on the government. Hello? What do you think all of this solar panel bee-ess is about? Do you think that has ANYTHING to do with energy production or "global warming?" Give me a break. It is looting – pure, unadulterated LOOTING.

Jesus Rejects ZIRP. It's In The Bible. (Part 2)
Posted by Ann Barnhardt - February 14, AD 2012 9:01 PM MST

What has been the byproduct of ZIRP coupled with the intense debasement of the currency itself via quantitative easing? INFLATING commodity prices with simultaneously DEFLATING wages. It’s a perfect storm – exactly what they want. News broke this week that gasoline, and really ALL energy consumption is tanking. We are using far less gas than we were four years ago, and yet prices are climbing. Why? Because we have given up. The time value of our money is zero according to the government, will stay at zero for years to come according to the government, and thus people have just . . . stopped. Why do anything now if what I do isn’t really worth anything? Why strive to produce when I know that the fruits of my production will generate no significant return if invested? In fact, why do anything if the only thing I can be sure of is that if I have any degree of success with my investments, I will be taxed and regulated back into breaking even at best and failing at worst? ZIRP essentially says: IT’S NOT WORTH IT. JUST SIT ON THE COUCH. IT'S THE SAME DIFFERENCE IN THE END.

Meanwhile, capital is flowing into physical commodities in order to provide a hedge against the inflation that is the inevitable consequence of printing trillions and trillions of dollars AND as a speculative investment vehicle for those people who are looking for any sort of reasonable return on their money over time, which they CAN’T get in the conventional money market. Thus, we have the price of gas going up while demand is tanking. The same goes for my market: beef. Why do you think the price of beef is skyrocketing? Do you think it is because people are beating down the doors at Morton’s of Chicago and other steakhouses? Hardly. Food prices are inflating while wages tank for exactly the same reasons outlined above.

Eventually, the government and the financial system will collapse. When that happens and the Federal Reserve is no longer able to synthetically hold interest rates at zero and people look around and realize that our money is worthless smoke and mirrors, the rubber band will snap and we will see the dollar finally die via hyperinflation like that seen in Weimar Germany. I heard a story about Weimar Germany last week that I have to share. A man had a wheelbarrow filled with cash that he took to the market. He stepped into a storefront to purchase something and left the wheelbarrow filled with cash just outside the door because it wouldn’t fit inside. He wasn’t inside but for a few seconds. When he stepped back out, the money was all lying on the ground – but the wheelbarrow was gone. True story. Think about that.

Now to the Jesus bit, and you financial people don’t bug out, because this is really quite interesting. Go to Matthew 25:14-30 and read the Parable of the Talents. A “talent” is a currency unit, FYI. In a nutshell, Jesus tells of three servants who are entrusted by their master with a sum of money. The first goes out, invests his five talents, and is able to return the principle plus five more – a 100% return on investment. The second likewise generates a 100% ROI in the two talents he was given. The third merely buried the one talent he was given and returned the principle with zero interest. Now listen to the words of Christ speaking to the third servant. It’s amazing:
Wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sow not, and gather where I have not strewed: Thou oughtest therefore to have committed my money to the bankers, and at my coming I should have received my own with usury. Take ye away therefore the talent from him, and give it to him that hath ten talents. For to every one that hath shall be given, and he shall abound: but from him that hath not, that also which he seemeth to have shall be taken away. And the unprofitable servant cast ye out into the exterior darkness. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Dude. Now, what were you saying about the abolition of all interest? Here is where all of the idiot Marxist theologians will wail and moan and say that this passage is a metaphor for the spiritual gifts we have been given AND NOTHING MORE. Uh, wrong.

Of course it is a metaphor, that is the point of PARABLES, to convey deeper meaning using everyday examples. But here is the point that so many pridefully, and moronically, miss:

Our Lord would never, ever use an evil activity in order to illustrate a virtuous activity. He would never use a lie to illustrate TRUTH. If all usury (in the ancient sense of any charging and paying of interest) was truly evil, He would not, He COULD NOT use that evil activity as a metaphor for a virtue. Do you see this? Do you understand? If you’re fighting this obvious, glaring truth, then the reality is most likely that you are so completely consumed with anti-Semitism, and are so personally invested in Jew-hatred and blaming the Jews, via the banking industry, for EVERYTHING that you are literally mentally impaired by that hate, because this is stark black and white truth. Are there bad Jews? Of course. But there are bad Christians, too. Like . . . Jon Corzine, who is ethnically Christian. As is Hank Paulson. As is Timmy Geithner. As is Paul Volcker. Oh, we’re ALL responsible for this mess. Every one of us who have sat by and let it get this out of control. Every one of us who have gleefully leveraged ourselves into this debt, every one of us who have consumed the bread-and-circuses “entertainment”, every one of us who have sat passively while 56,000,000 children were slaughtered and said not a word, and obediently paid our taxes. Oh, yes, the guilt is most assuredly collective, so spare me your anti-Semitic filth.

Couple the glaring scriptural evidence with the Randian explanation of the essence of money, and how money is directly tied to the dignity of the individual human being, and finally cross-reference both of these points to the obvious damage that ZIRP is doing to the global economy, and there you have it. Jesus rejects ZIRP. It’s in the Bible.

George Will: "Rent control is unconstitutional because it is an egregious and uncompensated physical occupation of property."

25 Signs That The Nazification Of America Is Almost Complete

The United States of America is becoming more like Nazi Germany every single day. In fact, the Nazification of America is almost complete. The parallels between Nazi Germany and the United States of today are going to absolutely shock many of you. Most Americans simply have never learned what life was really like back in Nazi Germany. Under Adolf Hitler, Germany was a Big Brother totalitarian police state that ruthlessly repressed freedom and individual liberty. Under Adolf Hitler, Germany adopted socialism, dramatically increased government spending and raised taxes to astronomical levels. Under Adolf Hitler, abortion became legal in Germany, the government took over health care and Christianity was pushed out of the public schools and out of public life. To prove all of these points, I am going to use extensive quotes from two sources. Kitty Werthmann was a child living a peaceful life in Austria when Hitler took over her nation. Her eyewitness accounts about what life was like under Nazi Germany are invaluable. In addition, I will also be quoting extensively from author Bruce Walker. He is the author of a book entitled "The Swastika Against The Cross: The Nazi War On Christianity", and during his years of research he has uncovered some absolutely jaw dropping stuff. After reading the information in the rest of this article, there should be no doubt that the United States is becoming just like Nazi Germany.

Nazi Germany shows us what happens when the state becomes god. Adolf Hitler was certainly more racist than the leaders of America are today, but other than that there are very few differences between the road that Adolf Hitler led Germany down and the path that the United States is being led down.

Should radio hosts "John & Ken" really have been suspended for these remarks about Whitney Houston?

Although I don't usually listen to John & Ken (JOHN KOBYLT and KEN CHIAMPOU on KFI AM radio, Los Angeles), I did happen to be listening when they said the following:
"She's been cracked out for 20 years, and we heard how obnoxious she was these parties, I mean, she's doing handstands, she's babbling like an idiot, running around ... she's a mess ... She's been doing this for 20 years.... So, how much of a pain in the ass do you think she was? Can you imagine, you're CLIVE DAVIS, and she has not been -- she has not had her head screwed on right for 20 years? At some point you’re just sick of it all, and so is everybody else in the industry, all her friends and hangers on, everybody who knew had to deal with her, it’s like, 'ah, Jesus, here comes the crack ho again, what’s she gonna do; Oh, look at that, she’s doing handstands next to the pool. Very good, crack ho, nice.' After a while, everybody’s exhausted. And then you find out she’s dead. It’s like, 'really ... took this long?'"
KFI Suspends John And Ken For Whitney Houston Remarks

To be honest, I was shocked that they said it (because no one is ever allowed to say anything that is not politically--or otherwise--correct) but if you've ever been around an addict, you know it's friggin' true! They wear you down, take up all your time, create emergency situations where none existed, and generally just drain everything and everybody around them including, sometimes, even their bank accounts. So what isn't actually true about what they said?

Gosh, who's Obama gonna blame this time???

A Good Catholic Joke

The Pope and Obama are on the same stage in Yankee Stadium in front of a huge crowd.

The Pope leans towards Mr. Obama and said,
"Do you know that with one little wave of my hand I can make every person in this crowd go wild with joy?

This joy will not be a momentary display, but will go deep into their hearts and they'll forever speak of this day and rejoice!"
Obama replied,
"I seriously doubt that! With one little wave of your hand....Show me!"
So the Pope backhanded him and knocked him off the stage!

AND THE CROWD ROARED & CHEERED WILDLY and there was happiness throughout the land!

Kind of brings a tear to your eye, doesn't it?

YOU’RE BEING PLAYED AMERICA – BY THE MOST CORRUPT AND CRIMINAL ADMINISTRATION IN THE HISTORY OF AMERICAN POLITICS

The California Attorney General is Kamala Harris. Her brother-in-law is a gentleman by the name of Tony West who himself is an Assistant Attorney General working directly under Obama Attorney General Eric Holder. Insiders are already indicated West may in fact be among a short list of potential replacements should Holder resign his position.

Now Tony West was a big time campaign bundler for Barack Obama back in 2008 as was described by this San Francisco Chronicle report in 2009:

As co-chairman of Obama’s campaign, West was instrumental in helping the candidate raise an estimated $65 million in California and has been considered a rising star in both the legal and political circles of the nation’s most populous state. He is an attorney in the San Francisco offices of Morrison & Foerster.

$65 million dollars is a lot of campaign cash – even by Obama standards. And Mr. West also gained notoriety in 2007 as a member of the “American Taliban” John Walker Lindh’s defense team. So we have a former Obama campaign bundler and defense attorney of a Taliban terrorist, who also happens to be the brother in law of the California Attorney General whose state just received a multi-billion dollar housing bailout – the same man who might soon find himself being placed in the position of being the next Attorney General of the United States.

Let that sink in folks. Really. Take a deep breath and let that sink in…

Ok – so take what you have just been learned about Tony West, Kamala Harris, and Barack Obama – and let us now add the possibility of some serious campaign donation fraud. We are talking tens or even hundreds of millions of dollars – all being funneled through California.

Georgia Court Ignored Basic Rules of Interpretation

Liberty Legal Foundation:
By now many of you have probably heard that the Georgia court ruled that Obama is a natural born citizen. (Link to opinion) More importantly it ruled that any person born on U.S. soil is a natural born citizen. According to the Georgia court, a woman from any country can visit the U.S. for one day, give birth, take the baby back to any country to be raised under any culture, and that baby can return as an adult, live here for 14 years and run for President. The end result of this ruling is outrageous. It runs contrary to common sense as well as to established law.

So, what happened in Georgia? The court determined that a clear definition of natural born citizen from Supreme Court precedent was overturned by dicta in another Supreme Court case. Precedent is any statement by the court that is pivotal to reaching the court’s ruling. Dicta is the opposite of precedent. Dicta is a statement by the court about matters that are not pivotal to reaching its ruling. Dicta is persuasive, but it cannot overturn precedent.

In other words, the Georgia court violated a basic rule of legal interpretation by ruling as it did. But wait, there’s more! The Georgia court also violated rules of Constitutional interpretation that have been around since the earliest Supreme Court. Our first Chief Justice explained that no part of the Constitution should be interpreted in a way that leaves any other part of the Constitution without independent meaning. By ruling that anyone born on U.S. soil can run for President the Georgia court concluded that the 14th Amendment was intended to alter article II of the Constitution. Such an interpretation is 180 degrees in opposite to Chief Justice Marshall’s explanation of how to interpret the Constitution.

But WAIT, there’s more! In order to reach this conclusion the Georgia court ALSO had to disregard yet another part of the holding from the Minor v. Happersett Supreme Court ruling. Even if you ignore the rules of Constitutional construction and the rule that dicta can’t overturn precedent, even if you agree with the Georgia court that the definition of natural born citizen in the Minor decision was dicta, you still can’t reach the Georgia court’s ruling. You see, the Minor Court ALSO explicitly ruled that the 14th Amendment didn’t create any new privileges and immunities. So, if a person couldn’t run for President before the 14th Amendment, they couldn’t run for President after the 14th Amendment. This means that the Minor. Court explicitly ruled that the 14th amendment didn’t alter the definition of natural born citizen under article II of the Constitution. Yet the Georgia court ignored this Supreme Court ruling as well.

The Georgia court was aware of all of these arguments because these arguments were made at the January 26 hearing and they were included in our written brief after the hearing. Yet the Georgia court’s ruling only addresses one of these three arguments and poorly at that.

The one point of good news from this ruling is that we have FINALLY gotten a court to rule on the merits of our argument. This may seem like a hollow victory, but it isn’t. Before this everyone that has brought a challenge against Obama’s eligibility has been dismissed on procedural grounds. Nothing is more devastating to the rule of law than a judicial branch that refuses to do its job. Before this case we had courts across the country telling Americans that they had no right to enforce the Constitution. That was absurdity at its most extreme. Liberty Legal Foundation found a case that we believed would at least get a ruling on the merits. We hate the ruling we got, but at least we got a ruling. Now we can appeal that ruling. The appeals process now will focus on the definition of "natural born citizen" rather than procedure for the first time since the issue of Obama's eligibility was raise in 2008.

For all the reasons I’ve mentioned in this message, we will be appealing the Georgia Court’s ruling. We will continue to fight for Constitutional rule of law. Failing that we will continue to force Courts to show their true colors. If our judicial branch will not uphold the rule of law, that fact needs to be exposed to the harsh light of day for all the world to see.

JFK seduced White House intern, teenager Mimi Alford, in First Lady's bedroom

On one visit, Kennedy was embroiled in one of the most defining moments of his presidency, the Cuban Missile Crisis. For 13 days in October 1962, the United States and the Soviets were at a nuclear standoff.

Although historians have dissected Kennedy’s actions, none was privy to what he confided to Mimi.

I believe the president was quoting from the 1st Epistle of St. Karl Marx to the Babylonians…

While socialists are busy twisting the Gospels to deceive the people, here's the reality:
“Oh give me a break,” Steyn said on Hugh Hewitt’s radio show on Thursday night. “For a start, when he says, ‘I am my brother’s keeper,’ his brother is back in Kenya living on $12 a year. That’s what he was living on at the time of the 2008 election. So all the president has to do in terms of shared responsibility is put a $10 bill in an envelope and mail it to Nairobi or Mombasa or wherever and he will double his brother’s salary.”
Mark Steyn: So Obama wants to be his “brother’s keeper”? I have an idea for him!
