Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas keeps being accused of being a race traitor. Now in regards to Obama. Two prominent Blacks have lined up, Alan Keyes joins in asking Kenya show us your birth certificate? Is it too much to ask that you demonstrate to the people that you qualify under the constitution? Remember that the Kenyan Ambassador in a moment of candor admitted that Obama's birthplace was Kenya. Note that McCain has produced to the public and for examination a copy of his original birth certificate. This article by way of Daily Kos by way of Fark.
The same way the election of George Bush alone was the fault of Clarence Thomas. He did his job when the libtards expected him to remain on the plantation.
Thomas knew he would be villified for doing the right thing.
He’s an unsung hero.
They do want payback - why do you think that 96% of blacks vote democrat? They have always felt as if they are owed something. The majority of racists in this country are in fact black! And now that Obambi is in and he is “half” one of them that makes him good enough to help w/ their payback - they are probably expecting him to pass reparations during his 4 yrs. as well as taxing “whitey.”
They unfortunately, think that because they have their guy in the WH that he will go out of his way to help the black people. However, I think they will be sorely disappointed putting all their hope into a politician - no matter what -it’s not going to help and most politicians are all about themselves anyway. If he actually helped them become rich then he wouldn’t have a voting block so it’s sticks and carrots but always keeping them down to stay in power.
thanks for the heads up but do they really call that a website? i call it a webMESS
Quote from the article:
...”There is no way that anyone can argue about whether Barack Obama is a citizen,” Singer said. “In this country, we have a system konwn as jus soli or birthright by citizenship. You are a scitizen by being born on American soil and he (Obama) was born in Hawaii.”
....
“This is the issue that some people have with illegal aliens in our country,” she said. “Children of illegal aliens, if they are born in the United States, are U.S. Citizens. That is in the constitution.”

Isn’t there a difference between “a natural born citizen” as defined in the Constitution for purposes of being eligible for the Presidency and an illegal alien who is simply born here? This lady is missing the point.

US Law very clearly stipulates:
If only one parent was a U.S. Citizen at the time of your birth, that parent must have resided in the United States for at least ten years, at least five of which had to be after the age of 16. Barack Obamas father was not a U.S. Citizen and Obamas mother was only 18 when Obama was born, which means though she had been a U.S. Citizen for 10 years, (or citizen perhaps because of Hawaii being a territory) the mother fails the test for being so for at least 5 years **prior to** Barack Obamas birth, but *after* age 16. It doesnt matter *after* . In essence, she was not old enough to qualify her son for automatic U.S. Citizenship. At most, there were only 2 years elapsed since his mother turned 16 at the time of Barack Obamas birth when she was 18 in Hawaii. His mother would have needed to have been 16+5= 21 years old, at the time of Barack Obamas birth for him to have been a natural-born citizen. As aformentioned, she was a young college student at the time and was not. Barack Obama was already 3 years old at that time his mother would have needed to have waited to have him as the only U.S. Cizen parent. Obama instead should have been naturalized, but even then, that would still disqualify him from holding the office.

Can any of you constitutional scholars shoot this down? This seems to be the crux of the issue.
Most hateful website I’ve ever seen.
Obama is a citizen.
Obama is not a “natural born citizen.”
-—”Another HUGE factor though is that it was Obamas buddy that single handedly scarred Justice Thomas reputation for life with his false allegation and pompous self righteous incrimination during Justice Thomas confirmation hearings. “
Yes, I watched Biden’s egotistical, wordy, “leadership” during the high-tech lynching of Clarence Thomas.
What I still don’t understand is how liberals don’t see any parallels between Thomas/Hill and Clinton/Lewinsky. In fact, Thomas didn’t even get any sex out of the deal. Clinton was the harasser in chief and got away with a wrist slap.
For the libbies to claim Clinton was a victim of some vast right wing conspiracy is so hypocritical when they did far worse to Clarence Thomas on far less actionable issues.
Not to mention that Clinton was a rapist and a womanizer.
Children of illegal aliens, if they are born in the United States, are U.S. Citizens. That is in the constitution.
Not in 1961.
Ted Kennedy was behind the Thomas BS.
Justice Thomas is a courageous man. I hope that tomorrow there are other courageous Justices who will come forth and do the Constitutionally correct thing.
Collectivist crap.
It appears that there are some blacks who might be viewing the Obama presidency as payback time.
Some do.
Otherwise, where does this "race traitor" stuff make sense?
0bama was a member of a church (Trinity United Church of Christ) that espoused Black Liberation Theology.
It's collectivist - in this case, racist - crap.
From Trinity United Church of Christ's "About Us", before it was scrubbed:
We are a congregation which is Unashamedly Black and Unapologetically Christian... Our roots in the Black religious experience and tradition are deep, lasting and permanent. We are an African people, and remain "true to our native land," the mother continent, the cradle of civilization. God has superintended our pilgrimage through the days of slavery, the days of segregation, and the long night of racism. It is God who gives us the strength and courage to continuously address injustice as a people, and as a congregation. We constantly affirm our trust in God through cultural expression of a Black worship service and ministries which address the Black Community.
Trinity United Church of Christ adopted the Black Value System written by the Manford Byrd Recognition Committee chaired by Vallmer Jordan in 1981. We believe in the following 12 precepts and covenantal statements. These Black Ethics must be taught and exemplified in homes, churches, nurseries and schools, wherever Blacks are gathered. They must reflect on the following concepts:
The Pastor as well as the membership of Trinity United Church of Christ is committed to a 10-point Vision:

So let me get this straight:
Privilieged Hawaii Boy=The Authentic Black Experience
Up From Southern Dirt Farming By His Merits=Uncle Tom
Check out what they are saying about him on this black site:
I’m surprised these people even know how to use a computer.
“Children of illegal aliens, if they are born in the United States, are U.S. Citizens. That is in the constitution.
I hate this law....I wish it was modified or overturned.
You should post that on that black message board. LOL!
It dissapointed me when I found it because I have always judged people on the content of their character, not their skin color. To see people that have such a hatred for us just because we are white is sad. Many there have an “us against them” mentality. They honestly believe it’s black against white. You should have seen how they went after one poor lady who dared to have a McCain avatar. I like to skim that site and DU every day because I like to stay up on what the other side is saying, even though I disagree.
Must be a nice site, the filter here rejected it for profanity. Oh well.
Yeah, there definitely is bad language in many posts on the site.
