In a quest that is seen as wacky, way out there and as bitter partisan politics by some,the issue of Obama not showing his birth certificate to prove he is a naturalized American citizen continues. Is this really just some conspiracy theory along the lines of 9/11 truthers and alien cover ups? At first glance it seems like it. But surprisingly many American’s seem to actually believe there is some possibility of truth in this claim that Obama is not a citizen. WND continues to run stories on it but most recently a congressman’s town hall meeting became overwhelmed with the issue.
Many people will immediately jump up and say “Obama produced a birth certificate, what more do you want?” Apparently Obama provided a certificate of live birth (COLB) which is not the same as a long form birth certificate. The long form birth certificate should provide evidence that can be corroborated. The COLB provided on factcheck.org does not show a hospital, doctor’s name or anything else that can be checked, just a time and city. This COLB can also be obtained by non citizens.
Obama could easily release his long form birth certificate but hasn’t. Just to stop people from talking about it and to show that he has the most transparent administration, you think he would.
Many liberals, moderates and even some conservatives will probably read this and just say “get over it already.” There is a time to let things go and personally I already have. Not because I don’t think it’s important but because I think Obama will never release this information and even if it is true that he is not a natural citizen, that nothing will change. But should people just get over this? If it is true, it is the biggest scam in history. People never got over Bush’s decision to go to war with Iraq, should everyone just forget about this issue?
The argument could easily be made that if Obama does not qualify to be president than all of the bills he signed and executive orders he issued would have to be undone. This is very important but would cause huge upheaval. I don’t know if the American people would be able to handle this kind of event and the ramifications of the loss in trust of the government. It doesn’t mean the truth shouldn’t be fully investigated though but I sincerely doubt it ever will be
LOL. I honestly don’t know what the f-— you’re talking about but it was pretty amusing to read. That’s my kind of post ;-)
Well, you did get it despite your trying to protest otherwise. What was it Gump saying? ... 'Silly is as silly does.'
Ok. Now, what are you going on about? You’re talking about a teddy bear and now Forest Gump. I’m intrigued. What’s your angle here?
I love it! I’m stealin’ that one.
What’s the deal with the bear? You’ve got me interested now. Is it something current in the States? And is it having something to do with getting Barry out of office? Come on, don’t leave me hanging.
Do you know what the deal with the bear is? The other poster brought it up but it’s not something that I understand. Is it like a current joke in the States that I’m missing out on or what exactly? Anybody?

Evenin' ladies. Had some excitement this afternoon. Went up on the mountain to pick berries (2 gallons made into preserves and cooling as we speak). A misty rain was falling and I was the only thing moving in the cool, damp air. After an hour or so of wonderful stillness, I headed back down the mountain, a half mile through the woods and to the house. A bit later, Ms. cp was helping me prepare the berries when she looked out the kitchen window and shrieked. There was a big black bear standing not 20 feet from the house. After eyeing us for a while, he ambled off up through the woods in the general direction of the wild berry patch I had visited. Think he was trying to tell me in a friendly way that those berries belonged to him?

By the time I located the camera, he was moving away but I did take one (sorry, not digital). As it was still rather misty and somewhat gloomy, I doubt that the photo will win any prizes. I'll let you know when it's developed. This is not the first bear I've seen here over the years but he certainly was the biggest and not the sort you'd like to meet up with when armed only with a couple of gallons of berries.

Today was the sort of magical day when scenes of the mist and the clouds and the mountains and the stillness would have been a perfect photographic counterpoint to shots of my wild-eyed, screaming mad dash from the bear had that been necessary.

"And I still can't get over that a bear followed catpuppy home when he went berry picking "
Bear like berries. They will take your berries, and sometimes your liver. In bear country it's foolish to go berry picking without suitable ordnance.
No, you can't outrun them. Neither can most horses.
No, you can't "play Dead" unless you want to be. Brown Bear will usually leave you if you play dead. Black bear will settle in to have dinner.

Salmon, wine. La dolce vita. The beautiful Brazos. Some people have it made. By the way, Val, the bear picture came back. The flash triggered (it was misty/gloomy late afternoon) and reflected off of the screened porch (where I remained in relative safety) and thus I have a very gray picture of nothing.
There soon may be another opportunity to get you a bear photo as a mom and three cubs have been seen nearby. I'll keep a camera close by.

Servant, thanks for being available to hear this one. This morning just before dawn I was awakened by a terrible crash on the porch, just outside the sliding glass doors next to where I lay dozing on the sofa. I threw back the curtain and there was the bear, dragging off the porch with one large paw a heavy propane grill which he had overturned. I turned on the porch light, pounded the glass and yelled at him to no avail. Had the door been opened I could have touched him. He was that close.
Ms. cp grabbed the camera while I grabbed the rifle--just in case. We took three or four photos of the bear and he acted as if he didn't even see the flash. Finally, he gave up as the grill had become lodged against a porch post. After climbing down from the porch he ambled off into the woods. It was still nearly dark so I am hopeful that the auto exposure will yield some pictures this time although it still had to contend with the glass and screen glare as I was unwilling to open the doors or windows.

cp once a black bear has learned not to fear people it is much more dangerous than a grizzly. Usually, if a grizzly attacks and you play dead, he will smack you a couple of times and leave. A black bear on the other hand if he attacks, is gonna kill and eat you.
The last 3 years the black bear have had a population explosion and outgrown their habitat. One with three cubs is unusual, and is gonna be very hungry.
I no longer walk the dogs unarmed at night at our place in the Blue Ridge Mountains, because they have developed a taste for dog.
You have no business outside unarmed with that bear around. You can not out run them. I have seen video of a grizzly chasing down and killing an elk. A black bear is not that fast, but it is at least twice as fast as you are.
If he/she comes after you, he will catch you, and will kill you.

Unless he thinks there is tasty food at your house
A bear walked into my friend's house and opened up all the jars in her kitchen and helped himself
then he picked up her 100 pound bag of dog food, slung it over his shoulder
and sat under the tree eating it
She got out her fiddle to drive him out of her house

Yes, Servant. But first it will have to avoid an earful of 6.5x55 Mauser cartridges, a present he or she came close to receiving today. By the way, a bit later I saw a fairly large doe run wildly from the area where the bear had gone. I have seen deer hundreds of times here and never have I seen one run and jump like that. Usually they will sprint for a short distance then stop to survey the situation. This one just kept going as if it was really frightened.

catpuppy wasn't planning on berry picking today, was he? He should check in soon. The wildlife dept. would probably look for the bear and her 3 cubs and move them away from homes if he calls them.

Hey Prentice, Welcome back. Glad you had fun at the wedding.
I fear the catpuppy has been at the kerosene again, he thinks he's a bear. He keeps posting comments as if the bear is typing. It's pretty sad, everyone knows bears can't type, they do well to hold a pencil.

My brother told me there has been a lot of trouble this year with bears. Maulings and such. We didn't see any.
So if CP thinks he's a bear...it's all right with me. After My Glenlivets....I had similar thoughts. Gotta watch that kerosene.
My sister-in-law is from a huge Norwegian family (Minnesoota). They were a lot of fun. The groom's Dad was quite cool...ex-marine...climber (climbed all 55 14er's for you mountaineers). A Western slice of life to be sure.

as to the puter stuff... I have had tons of hits all HTTP port probes since the 5th. On the tread about the virus a site was posted where we could go have our puter ports checked. I did and got a rating of Stealth on all of them. Funny thing happens.. when my icon starts to flash warning of an attempt, as soon as I click the icon, the flashing stops. I have not noticed any slowdown since I went cable but before that the world was slow.

WE INTERRUPT THE TOE SUCKING TO BRING YOU THIS BREAKING NEWS
At 7:30PM EST "Ruby" who is looking more and more like "Crusher" again walked up to the sliding glass door. Yours truly had just come in through that door. Ms. cp again went for the camera, I went for the gun. "Crusher" saw the gun, jumped off the porch, ran across the creek and stopped on the other side, too far away for me to know that I would not have a wounded bear with which to contend. So I put 140 grains of metal in the tree beside him just to let him know what might happen. Let's hope he learned his lesson.

That Bear is tracking you. Expect daily visits, even though you might not see the Bear. Somehow, it has gloamed onto you. These comforting words are brought to you by some hunters I know. I asked them what they thought about this. Said it is very dangerous for you. They did suggest you do exactly what you did do, but, said it probably would take several convincings.

Whew! It is really HOT here. Just got in from staking out a house (did it when the sun went down even) and was sweating so badly I took a cold shower with no prompting from Christine or Val. :-)
Pupster...sounds as if you was regurgitated during the night. Been checking your posts old friend....you know, I have some friends in the Psychiatric profession you should meet. Now bear with me a bit here....you sound like you're losing it....like you're bearly there.
Kitty....you're thankfully a bit less green on this thread...couldn't stand to get a lecture on global warming again (already had one today!).
Today's question: Anybody know what the agnostic dyslectic was agonizing over last night? Anyone?

Please be careful and do make those telephone calls.
And, also, keep in touch with us about you and the bear so that we will know that you and Mrs. cp are o.k.

Quick update, pv. Last night at 11:30 there was a noise on the porch again. "Crusher" (he is definitely a male) was standing outside the sliding glass door, only a foot or so shorter than yours truly. He jumped off the porch and ran away.
I called Fish and Game this morning. We agree that he smells something on the grill so I have cleaned it thoroughly. If in 2-3 days he has not returned, that was it. If he does return they will come and trap him for relocation. They said that the reason they try to do what I have mentioned above is because whatever is attracting that bear will just attract another if he is removed. Also, they mentioned that 30% of relocated bears die or are killed soon after relocation.
Let's hope this works. These armed and restless nights are a drag. And that's a good name for a soap opera, "The Armed and the Restless."
By the way, I really enjoyed reading all the political commentary from last night by you ladies. It was like old times.

If Ruby ate catpuppy it would be a very very bad thing.

Catpuppy, you and your wife's nerves must be shot. I've seen a lot of Black Bear where we're going this weekend. One of my husbands best friends have bear dogs and uses them to track. Those poor things always come out of the woods with Porcupine quills in their noses.. They need to be "more learned up" he says.. LOL
My husband just stepped out the back door and almost stepped on a baby rabbit. I think he/she was trying to get in.. She's not afraid at all. She will be if she starts eating my flowers tho!

[Photo Didn’t Transfer]
A black bear peers over a wooden fence behind a fast-food restaurant in downtown Trinidad, Colo., early Tuesday, Aug. 7, 2001. The town of Trinidad is under seige, with 15 to 20 black bears a night climbing from the Purgatory River drainage or descending from the bitterly dry pinon-juniper tangles to search for food. Calls from people reporting bears on their porches, fighting with dogs, and tossing trash cans like toys are running the area's wildlife officers ragged.

I can understand that Crusher does not want to be called Ruby
I will never call him Ruby again
I hope he never finds out about ''our song''
Darlin' wrote such a pretty song

when 38 arrived after reading some fevered posts by those who think children's books are satanic
and commented how sane we all are at Base Camp

hi null & void,
he was black berry picking in the mist
the bear appeared suddenly out of the mist
then followed him home
do you want me to help you find the thread where he recounted the story?
it may be on the thread where he was telling us how delicious grits are??

I remember him describing grits in the morning
and I had a hankerin' for them
that afternoon I ate in the Indian restaurant with my friends
that was a Wednesday
Harry had that dream that he and George Bush were close
(Harry's a left winger)
that night catpuppy arrived and told his first encounter with bear story
so it would be either July 25th or July 26th (the day after)
I remarked that these must be extraordinary times cause catpuppy encountered a bear and Harry dreamt a loving dream about George

i found it!! thread #84
Servant, thanks for being available to hear this one. This morning just before dawn I was awakened by a terrible crash on the porch, just outside the sliding glass doors next to where I lay dozing on the sofa. I threw back the curtain and there was the bear, dragging off the porch with one large paw a heavy propane grill which he had overturned. I turned on the porch light, pounded the glass and yelled at him to no avail. Had the door been opened I could have touched him. He was that close. Ms. cp grabbed the camera while I grabbed the rifle--just in case. We took three or four photos of the bear and he acted as if he didn't even see the flash. Finally, he gave up as the grill had become lodged against a porch post. After climbing down from the porch he ambled off into the woods. It was still nearly dark so I am hopeful that the auto exposure will yield some pictures this time although it still had to contend with the glass and screen glare as I was unwilling to open the doors or windows. 25 Posted on 08/06/2001 20:49:27 PDT by catpuppy Reply To 19 Top Last ]

Quilla, you are a genius, I just found it
how did you find it so fast?
here it is,
Evenin' ladies. Had some excitement this afternoon. Went up on the mountain to pick berries (2 gallons made into preserves and cooling as we speak). A misty rain was falling and I was the only thing moving in the cool, damp air. After an hour or so of wonderful stillness, I headed back down the mountain, a half mile through the woods and to the house. A bit later, Ms. cp was helping me prepare the berries when she looked out the kitchen window and shrieked. There was a big black bear standing not 20 feet from the house. After eyeing us for a while, he ambled off up through the woods in the general direction of the wild berry patch I had visited. Think he was trying to tell me in a friendly way that those berries belonged to him? 85 Posted on 07/25/2001 18:24:41 PDT by catpuppy

nully, let me give you a "Crusher" encounter that did not involve me.
A few days back a carpenter was renovating a house about a quarter mile away from me. During the project, he stayed alone at the house day and night throughout the week. Part of the renovation involved extensive plumbing replacement so the water was shut off for a day or two. As the house is also in the woods and private, the carpenter just went outside to relieve himself when nature called.
The house is equipped with a security system which includes a motion detector and a security light which briefly illuminates when motion is sensed. Late one night, the carpenter felt the urge and so went outside. The security light came on as he left the house and then--after a few seconds--turned off again as it is designed to do. The carpenter began his kidney friendly activity and was about half finished when the security light suddenly came on again and there, just a few feet away and looking directly at him, was "Crusher."
Not even pausing to shut off his flowing stream, the man screamed uncontrollably and ran as fast as he could toward the house while thoroughly drenching himself and the path. He looked back only to see "Crusher" moving just as fast--in the opposite direction. Shortly after that, "Crusher" decided to make my home his.

Hi Quilla
I remembered it happened the same day I ate in Indian restaurant with Jan and Harry
and that was a Wednesday
and it was the Wednesday after the Tucson UF0 meeting
which is the third Saturday of each month
So I looked on calendar for Wednesday after 3rd Saturday in July to get the date
but I didn't realize our posts are dated
I didn't know how to find the thread for that date
I found some loving posts to me by tomkat while I was hunting thru the threads
thank you tomkat
you are loving

pv, I've been catching up on the posts between chores and noticed your now if Crusher arrives, the gang will be complete.
Don't encourage him! I've now had two whole days without him making an appearance. I even went to the garden this morning at dawn to pick beans. This was especially brave as "Crusher" has been seen taking a shortcut through the garden on his way to the berry patch or to Ruby's place--I'm not sure which.

I found your post the day after
you said now I am going out to pick beans
I hope I don't see Crusher
(back then you didn't know his name)
I think Crusher knows you don't want to be his friend
the reception you gave him last time was hardly welcoming
Crusher posts on TOS (not FR)
he likes GrayBear
and has no trouble with the no-chat rule
I wonder if Crusher is a Green?

He may be, palo, but he refuses to wear a green turtle suit, preferring instead to maintain a classic black ensemble suitable for wear on almost any occasion.

Ok... Maybe I’m just as well off not knowing.
LOL!
I don’t think there’s anything beyond MHGinTN’s attempt to mock people who are pulling the political equivalent of thinking that Disney’s Bambi and The Jungle Book are documentaries.
Couldn’t resist poking at catpuppy (and giving your chain a gentle tug) though.
Sorry...
He had to give up US citizenship...if yhe even had it..which I doubt when he became an Indonesian citizen. His stepfather..Mr. Sotero was Indonesian Muslim. He was sent back to Hawaii to live with his Communist grandparents 4 years later. Where he went to school and was mentored by Frank Marshall Davis. A well known Communist agent.
I’m not following the Bambi and Jungle Book thing. I’m just completely in the dark here about what you guys are talking about. I’m figuring MHGinTN posted to me by mistake? Or has me mixed up with someone else. Is the only explanation.
Yes, when Obama rates below Carter, 2010 looks very promising to regain the House and Senate.
Obama can’t hide his birth certificate and documents forever. The government cannot ignore him not proving natural born status forever. It will catch up to Obama.
Go to HonoluluAdvertiser.com issue of Nov. 9 2008
for article entitled “Obama’s boyhood Hawaii homes
attracting gawkers”. Further down the page on the right
is a facsimile (or presumably, a copy of the microfiche)
which shows a simple , one-line birth announcement ,
highlighted. What do you make of that?
Egads. I don’t see anywhere in there that is says Hussein was born in Hawaii nor does it name a hospital. I never said he wasn’t born on Aug. 4th or that his parents weren’t Mr. and Mrs. Obama. Birth announcements in the newspapers are placed in there by the family, usually grandma. I have newspaper announcements from about a half dozen states but obviously I couldn’t possibly have been born but in one of them. Are you saying you’d accept one of those if I wanted to run for POTUS?
BTW, the address listed in the announcement is also suspect to some. Apparently the lady who’s lived next door forever says Obama never lived there.
As to your reply, I wasn’t challenging you, but instead offering some substantive “proof”, such as it was, that Obama has something to point to to put up against any claims or suspicions of the “Birthers”. Obama’s defenders present the false argument/choice that runs along the lines of “How would they have known in 1961, at his birth, that they had to conceal his birth origins??How did they anticipate he would be President?If he was born in Kenya, why would they have put a birth announcement in a Hawaii newspaper? (TO which I can only reply -—:Yeah, I’m not stupid, either”)It’s strange how late-breaking all of these “proofs” are, including the ONLY KNOWN piece of writing Obama did, from the Columbia U. student paper, called “Breaking the War Mentality”, from ‘83 or ‘84.
But you’re right, ultimately, a birth announcement proves nothing, and in this case, may even have included a bogus address. It may be no more “substantial” than the COLB that has been presented so far as “PROOF POSITIVE”. The real question, and the area to challenge, which area may yield more substance than ANYTHING, and all these ambiguous “documents”, is that why and wherefore of the amounts of monies spent on teams of lawyers working on Obama’s behalf, to quash all the legitimate suits and challenges to Obama to produce a real birth certificate to show he is LEGITIMATELY ENTITLED to be President.
You said — But I would like this thing with the birth certificate answered.
—
Definitely so. I would too, which is why I posted on that very thing prior to the election. After the election, I shifted to my idea of getting state legislatures to pass laws requiring documentation or else a candidate cannot be on the ballot. I believe this is what will actually *get* the documentation in Obama’s case.
Amazing! The affirmative action lying bastard has a forged CoLB on the Internet to which he has dupes like you turning to assure yourself the liar-in-chief is legitimate! The newspaper microfiche is so easy to alter and re-insert into the packet of microfiches, and it only takes five or six trips into archives at libraries and papwers to compeltely repalce the files for idiots and criminals to point to as ‘affirmation’ ... sheesh, no wonder the marxist bastard and his democrat criminal enterprise is crushing this nation under nazi style ‘change’, people are too stupid to have discernment because they want to remain ignorant!
FYI, both of the videos - Sanchez and Beck - that you linked to in your post #3 have been scrubbed due to “Use Violation.”
