At this point I want irrefutable proof one way or the other. SCOTUS let us down. Someone owes us the truth in all this mess.

Making a rare pellucid appearance on FR. Hi everyone!

[ConorMacNessa]

O's presidency is a carbuncle on the buttocks of the body politic.



Nos genuflectitur ad non princeps sed Princeps Pacem!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Here's more....AP declared Obama “Kenyan-Born”...This report explains the context of the oft cited debate, between Obama and Keyes in the following Fall, in which Keyes faulted Obama for not being a “natural born citizen”, and in which Obama, by his quick retort, “So what? I am running for Illinois Senator, not the presidency”, self-admitted that he was not eligible for the office.

Hey there. Haven’t seen you in class in AGES.

cue the Welcome Back Kotter intro....

[tioga]

Off for my morning walk. Listening to Tyranny of Cliches...Jonah awaits me. Can’t keep him waiting.

[Explorer89]

whoa, I had not seen that one. From his own mouth.

Interesting that the Wright saga is off the table, I could give a spit about the sermons, but did he actually accept 150Gs to stop preaching until the election? Remeber, the coverup is always worse than the crime. And from whence did that moola come?

So we all agree that the truth of Obama’s birth is pellucid, if you look at all the evidence: multiple news reports over the years; statements from his step-grandmother; statements from Michelle; statements from himself. But, what do you call the people who refuse to see it? Stupid?

Pellucid - anything horrible. It is a combination of Pelosi and putrid.
“The neighbor’s dog ate a dead squirrel and left a pellucid pile on my front lawn.”

[tioga]

I thought Wright refused the money.

[Explorer89]

It wasn’t clear to me. Nonetheless, I think it matters that it was even offered.

Pelosi’s House was anything but pellucid.

[mikrofon]

Very true -- she promised pellucid, but we got Pelosi'd instead...

[tioga]

More Clarity..not an AP story?

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

very very good!

[tioga]

Pelousy is pellucid all right. We can see through her bull. A++

[Explorer89]

If she stretches her skin anymore, it will be so pellucid that we will see Nancy’s brains. Well, assuming she has any, and isn’t really a zombie impersonator.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Pellucid- those rare moments where Nancy Pelosi briefly snaps out of that liberal dementia she is always wandering around in.

“She is experiencing a pellucid interval”.

[count-your-change]

Clearly pellucid is a pane.

Howdy Ceej!
