The public has been cowed by a familiar technique, ridicule - a cousin of the politics of personal destruction. The regime knows better than to address the facts. Pat Leahy, Michael Chertoff, Clair McCaskill, Barack Obama, all signed a bill to silence the objections to McCain's well-known constitutional eligibility problems - two of them in fact - Sen. Bill 2678 and when that didn't fly, Senate Resolution 511 in 2008. Every senator signed Senate Res. 511. The Leahy McCaskll bill (primary sponsors) only spoke of the half of the Article Section 1, natural born citizen provision stating that a “someone born of two citizen parents is a natural born citizen.” McCain failed the other requirement, having been born on our soil.
Senate Res 511 was cooked up to silence the Republicans, and to take advantage of McCain's well-known feeling of entitlement, for having been shot down in Viet Nam. It may be why Dick Cheney, for whom I previously had enormous respect, failed his legal requirement to the joint session to report the results of the electoral count, to ask every legislator if there were in comments. He appeared to have been interrupted by Nancy Pelosi, but that is not excuse, and she was always part of the conspiracy, having signed at least two forms, for Hawaii and Arizona, attesting to Obama's satisfaction of the natural born citizen requirement (other states did not insist on that clause). That is why Cheney is specifically named in the Kerchner/Apuzzo law suit. That is why the Cheney family will have to explain to his succeeding generations that if their ancestor had done his duty, we would have continued to enjoy the freedoms guranteed citizens by the Constituion while he was in government. If he had spoken up in one of his last acts as President of the Senate, we would not be living in a socialist tyranny (it appears one hand at least was raised when Cheney was supposed to have solicited objections).
The assumption is that if any public person validates the truth of his ineligibility there will be riots. That also probably accounts for the silence of the Levins the Hannities, Hedgecocks, Malkin, Coulter, etc. Perhaps they were directly threatened. Perhaps they, whose livings depend upon their public personna, are afraid for their financial survival? Instead, we will lose our livelihoods, our freedoms, and our ability to defend ourselves for long enough that total government control becomes essential.
Noting that the birth certificate has Barry born on the Island of Hawaii rather than Oahu is interesting, and probably true. But Obama owns the Justice Department. We well never see documents. But documents are a distraction. Learn about our common law definition of natural born citizenship. Very thorough and bright people here on Free Republic have published hundreds of documents by framers explaining clearly why they required that the president be a natural born citizen. The media, who have colluded with the regime by avoiding Obama’s inelibility, keep saying “He doesn't act like he cares about citizens.” He doesn't because he was born an alien, and has the allegiances of an alien.

Read just a few lines from The Venus 12 U.S. 253, at paragraph 289. Chief Justice John Marshal, who studied law at the school whose law school, the first in the U.S. was established at William and Mary by Thomas Jefferson in 1779, and the text was Vattel’s Law of Nations, explains that the president must have been "born on the soil of citizen parents." Read Patlin's quotion from Aristotle's "Politics" to understand that these are concepts distilled from millenia of brillian minds concerned with political leadership. Read framer Dr. David Ramsay's short Dissertation on Becoming a Citizen. The terms which refer to the concept are irrelevant. Ramsay calls natural born citizenship "birthright citizenship." Marshall shows off his French by using the terms used in Vattel's french edition, "Indigene" and Naturales." But they all refer to 'born on the soil of parents (plural, even in English common law, where the King's demand allegiance of everyone, but require jus sanguinis, parents or a father who is a subject. Obama's father was a British subject. So is Obama II.
Some of you are Obots, but some of you have been mislead by propaganda designed to disarm you of the document created by our framers to protect you, The Constitution. The Obots intentionally misdirect you. They point at obscure legal tracts which, if you tried to validate them, would turn into dead ends. They intimidate with legalese which is always designed to redirect you from the truth. John Marshall, Morrison Waite, also a Chief Justice writing in Minor v. Happersett, John Bingham, author of the 14th Amendment, and even Charles Evans Hughes, a chief justice who once tried to evade Article II himself, all confirm the definition. The only true statement is that because a case has never been to the supreme court involving Article II Section 1, the court must confirm the definition. Clarence Thomas had the courage to publicly admit that the court was evading the issue. If they continue to evade it their authority will be further eroded, and Obama will accomplish what FDR attempted, to make the court a tool of the King.
Damn fine post, FRiend ;)
I think your post illustrates why the regime is still hell bent on achieving the Joker's agenda which is really someone Else's agenda since he is a candidate/sock puppet only and really has no managerial experience other than reading a prompter.
They will still try for cap and tax, amnesty, and any other destructive manner they can pass between now and Nov. and after November it will just get worse until the new legislators are sworn in because that's who they are.
They are people who are here to destroy the country, no more, no less.
A navy base.
This would constitute sovereign U.S. soil. Am I correct in this?
