The HDOH wouldn’t be able to get away with their tactics if not for that rather large “moat” which prevents day-trips by hundreds of interested truth-seekers!

I’ve been so ticked off at Rush and all the other conservative “talkers” who’ve suspended logical thought and natural curiosity about Obie’s status. It just doesn’t make any sense for there to be such uniform duncery.

Over the past couple of days I’ve begun thinking the motivation - or lack of it - may be fear of ruination. All of them walk on the minefield of Obama’s FCC regulations. We’ve seen what Holder has done for those he and Obie favor - and TO those they don’t. Perhaps it’s as simple as staying out of it for self-preservation. They all have FCC licenses which, within Obama’s Marxist agenda, could be possibly be rescinded at Obama’s say-so. The same could apply to Fox news and all its on-air staff.

Enter Donald Trump. His livlihood, his future are HIs alone. He depends on and answers to no one. The FCC can’t intimidate him with threats of “fairness” doctrine, or of rescinding a license. They can’t control him, and they can’t stop him. All they can do is try making him look like a whack-job nutroot - which is why the Obie sycophants have been EVERYWHERE, constantly and uniformly bringing up the subject of the birth certificate.

I think the politicians hide away in silence over Obama’s ineligibility for a few reasons: (1) if they didn’t know/realize, they should have = not too bright/no re-electio;, (2) they’ve been told to keep their silence or no election funds come their way, and no committee appointments; (3) if they question/confirm his ineligibility, they have to answer for being complicit by their silence leading up to now - and that might lead to charges against them.

What it all boils down to, however, is a simple lack of courageous ethics.

We sit tapping away on our PCs, hoping Obie doesn’t executive-order himself an internet kill switch to shut us up. But he can’t intimidate Trump even with that.

At comment 58 on this thread, thouworm has a thought about Rush - and a more extensive quote from today’s transcript.

"Whether or not I'm a supporter of Trump as a candidate based on his merits, I would surely support him in an opinion poll, just to rebuke the smart-alecks who ridicule Trump for raising the issue of the hidden documents. Whether Trump is a "serious" candidate or not, this is a serious issue, and I am grateful that he's speaking up. I want to see this man encouraged."

Exactly. On all points.

"Is anyone else watching Ann Coulter on Hannity right now spew the ongoing lies concerning the BC issue?

Coulter: Obama already released the BC. He put it up on his web site. There were two newspaper announcements about his birth....yadda, yadda, yadda.....

She sure is a piece of work. What the heck kind of journalist repeats crap without investigating it first.

I am really sick of Ann Coulter."

Agreed!

Newspaper ads? These people are insane to suggest an ad in newspapers is legitimate proof.

Just *who* is "Mrs. Obama?" His wife from Kenya?
Just *who* is the nameless "boy?"
And *why* is Mr. Obama (Sr)'s address listed as 6085 Kalanianaole Highway when that was never his residence?

These "news" people are like sheep. All of em.

Good f'in grief already.

"On another topic.........

You do know there are 11 high mileage cars sold in Europe, no? As in 74 - 88 mpg. http://m.kitsapsun.com/news/2011/mar/30/larry-croix-us-should-allow-high-mpg-technology/

Wow! I'm sure that same technology could be applied to trucks here as well!

Damn the eco-terrorists!

“Wake up and smell what the Trump is shoveling.”

What he is shoveling is exactly what our own wimpy party has refused to even touch on for the last three years. I don’t care who he donated to and I don’t care whether or not he runs. All I care about is that he is “kicking the beehive” while the establishment Republican party rolls over and plays dead at the mere mention of showing any real fight.
