You said — “And being an apathetic defeatist is what you are right now and what Nehemiah and others in history overcame to accomplish great things for their people.”

Okay, let’s use Nehemiah as an object example, in light of this Obama “qualification” to be President of the United States.

If I were to “apply” Nehemiah and his building of the walls of Jerusalem, to the present situation — it would be to not wring one’s hands about the state of affairs of the Constitution and worry about whether Obama is going to be President or not...

I would “build the walls” and continue doing what is needed for the correct application of the Constitution — from here on out — and forget about Obama.

Nehemiah wasn’t trying to close the barn door after the horse got out. He was building the walls so that Jerusalem would be protected *in the future* — after the walls were built.

SO..., in light of that application — the Obama horse has already gotten out of the barn. The Constitution is not dead, and it needs to be “reinforced” with some “wall-building” so we don’t let the “evil-doers” win like this in the future...

Now, that’s what I call a much more *productive* application...

The Constitution is not dead... “Build the walls” (of the Constitution); forget the horse that got out of the barn.

What???? So then ignoring a fundamental qualification for President right there in black and white in front of all of us is the first step to building the walls??? Get real, it merely creates more destruction. How about we start right now rather than wait. How about closing the barn door right now rahter than tomorrow. How about closing the breach in the wall right now before more damage is done by the one exploiting the breach.

Nehemiah wasn’t trying to close the barn door after the horse got out. He was building the walls so that Jerusalem would be protected *in the future* — after the walls were built.

Did he build the walls around the city with the enemies of Israel inside or outside??? And where were those promoting the defeatist attitude??? They were outside and were in league with the enemies.

SO..., in light of that application — the Obama horse has already gotten out of the barn.

No it hasn't??? He is only the President elect who has not yet qualified according to the Constitution and the 20th Amendment thereof.

The Constitution is not dead, and it needs to be “reinforced” with some “wall-building” so we don’t let the “evil-doers” win like this in the future.

And the place to start is right now and right here not in some neverneverland or nevernevertime of time but right here and right now on solid terra firma.

The Constitution is not dead... “Build the walls” (of the Constitution); forget the horse that got out of the barn.

That is what every criminal likes to hear. Forget about enforcing that law on me. Do it on the next guy.

I have news for you -- we are building the walls. You can either assist by doing your part or hinder the effort as you have been doing. It is your choice --- choose wisely!!!!!!!!
