Citizenship – what America forgot
Examiner.com ^ | 10-16-2009 | Dianna Cotter

(Snip)


How is it possible that America has forgotten the basic meanings of these distinctions? How is it that we have let so basic a distinction as “Parents who are citizens of the nation and the child born on its soil” simply fall by the wayside?


The answer is both simple and terrible: A lack of education.


Historically, children in school were taught lessons from History.
(SNIP)
They were taught the major works that made up the histories of their Nation, be it France, Great Britain, China… children were once taught the fundamental foundational ideas that sculpted the world they were currently living in. It was called a classical education. Culturally, socially, politically they were given the history of how their world arrived to be what it was.
(SNIP)
In America we have shifted our focus so far from our historical and philosophical heritage, we are now barely teaching it at all.
(SNIP)


We stand upon the shoulders of giants, are we going to kick them in the head by allowing a Usurper to remain in the White House? He is not constrained or limited by the constitution; he has broken it already with his fundamental nature, something out of even his control. But it has freed him from the limitations and obligations the constitution demands none the less. His oath to it is meaningless, because he does not meet the basic demands of it.


We do not have a constitutional government. We know it, and the knowing of it makes it intolerable. It is up to the American people to demand that we be made whole again under the law. A crime has been and is currently being committed against us.

Its time to get off the fence and call a spade a spade. There is only one remedy for this crime, Barack Obama must resign.

We must take action to do it quickly. Obama is giving away America to our enemies, he is gutting the military, he is breaking the banks, he is putting many people on the welfare rolls, and food stamps, he is endoctrinating our children in the schools, colleges, universities, he is shutting down water for the Califoria food crops, he is
not allowing production of our own resources, he told us during his campaign that he intended to break the coal business, he has assumed powers that President’s have not seized before now. He is removing our missles, our weapons, our military Generals/Commanders.

He has surrounded himself with radical communist’s, radical socialist’s, WE DO NOT KNOW ALL THE POWERS BEHIND HIM .... BUT ... THAT HE IS THE FRONTMAN FOR ENGENDERING THEIR POLICIES ... WHATEVER THEY MIGHT BE.

God help us in our day, in Jesus name, Amen.

Of course the question in the corner is what if he won’t resign and if the Congress will not impeach, let alone convict?

ON OUR MORNING WALK WE WERE DISCUSSIING ...

HOW most of us are still to comfortable to upset the apple cart; and we needed to be like our founding Fathers, who pledged their honor, their life and their wealth, in signing the Declaration of Independence. It fact most did lose their wealth and sometimes their family, and some their life.
IT is a SOLEMN PLEDGE they made, indeed.

It is not up to Congress. It is up to the Judiciary. That is the only remedy.

A crime is being committed, Congress is actually part of the crime and coverup.

The Judiciary is our only option, and if they fail us, we no longer have a Nation. We have a regime.

I think here soon we are not going to have much choice.

Are we mice or are we men?

This is no little insignificant thing we are discussing. This will reverberate through history. What those reverberations will be is impossible to say right now.

I am sure that is how people inside the breaking of the Watergate scandal felt as well.

Barack Obama must resign

...which would require honor and decency. Unfortunately he possesses neither.

Given that he had to possess none to even do this to begin with, I agree completely.

.... not when its embedded in our you-know-whats...

We can’t sit by and do nothing, its going to take tremendous public pressure to bring this to the light of day. And a LOT of people talking about it.

We CAN'T do nothing. I don't want to be a serf; I like money and food.

Kenyan-born Obama all set for US Senate

Kenyan-born US Senate hopeful, Barrack Obama, appeared set to take over the Illinois Senate seat after his main rival, Jack Ryan, dropped out of the race on Friday night amid a furor over lurid sex club allegations.

The allegations that horrified fellow Republicans and caused his once-promising candidacy to implode in four short days have given Obama a clear lead as Republicans struggled to fetch an alternative.

Ryan’s campaign began to crumble on Monday following the release of embarrassing records from his divorce. In the records, his ex-wife, Boston Public actress Jeri Ryan, said her former husband took her to kinky sex clubs in Paris, New York and New Orleans.

[Chicago-Thuggary got the SEALED divorce papers opened so that KENYAN BORN 0bama would have no opponents.]
