THE OBAMA CONSPIRACY - PART 2 - OF IGNORANCE & ARROGANCE

[...] In less than a month, Barack Hussein Obama, a man many define as a fraud and a charlatan, will place his hand on the Lincoln Bible and swear to uphold the Constitution of the United States. This is a statement bristling with irony.

Sadly, the following excerpt typifies the prevailing attitude of large numbers of people in this country. These are shocking words from a blogger, one who clearly is educated, articulate, and has command of the English language.

[...]

"If the Constitution were truly the Law of the Land, certainly a definition of “natural born citizen” would have been offered by the Supreme Court or the Congress by now. Or there would have been a law passed by the Congress that no candidates could run for president unless first vetted for eligibility according to Article II, Section 1, Clause 5. Of course, any American with a brain knows that we no longer live under rule of the Constitution, hence all of this kerfuffle over where Barack Obama was “really” born matters not one wit."

I don’t want to overturn an election...I want to win in the first place. I am a Republican who accepts defeat unhappily but with grace. Next time, it will different hopefully. Didn’t you ever play sports?

You said — “The two major candidates Obama and McCain were on every ballot in this country. You will never see a day when a candidate is disallowed in some states but not others. It would create chaos. I can’t even imagine you would want such a thing.”

There have been other elections where that’s been the case, that a Candidate was kept off the ballot. This is nothing new.

And — yes — that’s exactly what I would like in the *issue* of qualifications for the President of the United States, in terms of what the Constitution says... LOL...

What election might that be? A presidential election. Give me one example of a time when a Dem or a Repub was not on the ballot.

I was saying — “There have been other elections where that’s been the case, that a Candidate was kept off the ballot. This is nothing new.”

Then you said — “What election might that be? A presidential election. Give me one example of a time when a Dem or a Repub was not on the ballot.”

Yes, we were talking about Presidential Candidates and that’s what I was referring to. I would have to find it, but one that comes to mind (without me checking on it) is George Wallace. There are others in history, but that will take some time to dig up. You can do the same, if you want. If I look for it, it’s going to take a while.

In addition, the Constitution gives the individual states the right as to how they choose Electors (as that’s who actually votes for President). They can set up standards for what has to be met, in order for a Candidate to be on the ballot (President), as long as it’s (of course) applied equally to all — and (the most important part) — it does meet the Constitutional requirement.

"Didn’t you ever play sports?"

I would not equate the battle for our Republic with a football game. The future of our country is at stake in this particular election and there is no 'next time' to win it back. Sorry, but the game is called, perhaps never to be re-played.

Sorry, Obammy. Take your place at the back of the line. There are at least a million or so more qualified Citizens ahead of you waiting to take the oath.

Not a Citizen? Oh! Too bad. Hasn't anyone told you you were standing in the wrong line? It's down the hall, to the left.
