Pastor Wiley Drake Thinks He Still Has a Prayer of Unseating Barack Obama (Alan Keyes running-mate)
The Orange County Weekly ^ | December 17, 2008 | Matt Coker

Posted on 12/25/2008 9:32:42 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

The Preacher vs. the President-Elect Pastor Wiley Drake thinks he still has a prayer of unseating Barack Obama—sorry, Barack Hussein Obama.

First Southern Baptist Church of Buena Park’s irrepressible Pastor Wiley Drake is not discouraged in light of the Dec. 8 announcement the U.S. Supreme Court will not hear a New Jersey man’s case that argued Barack Obama cannot be sworn in as president because his father was a British citizen. Alan Keyes, the American Independent Party’s 2008 presidential candidate, and his running mate, Drake, are plaintiffs in a separate lawsuit knocking around California courts that makes a similar claim about Obama’s birth status. Several other cases are also winding through the nation’s courts in what Drake characterized as a coordinated effort he started to prevent the Jan. 20 inauguration of “the first illegal-alien president in U.S. history.”

OC Weekly: Hello, Pastor Drake. This is Matt Coker at OC Weekly.

Wiley Drake: Well, hello Matt Coker of OC Weekly. How are you?

I’m fine. How about you?

I have my 65th birthday coming up, and I feel fine.

That’s great. I apologize for not calling back last week when you called. I was on assignment.

Well, that’s okay.

So I was calling today about your lawsuit, and then I heard about the Supreme Court decision this morning. Are you discouraged?

Well, no one likes to lose. But discouraged? No, there are several cases going on at one time, and we’re all working on these together.

It is disgusting that private citizens have to challenge the president-elect’s legitimacy for POTUS while all of Congress is mute. It just shows that when the chips are down Congress is nowhere to be found. No word from the WH or SCOTUS either.

It seems that government has abandoned us. How can it be trusted to defend the country against its enemies when it does not support the will of the people in a simple question of identification. I guess that the sight of the first mushroom cloud will show us their mettle.

If we are allowed to have a Congressional election in 2 years, we had better clean house and elect radical conservatives who will cram down some limits on this nut case presidential pretender. If not, it will be too late.

If we send the same morons back to congress, we get what we deserve and the Republic is lost.

Well, I’d agree with that except it will be even more so than the Lewinsky thing. I think it will dog him because one of our attorneys, Gary Kreep [of the United Justice Foundation] said we will do everything we can to fight this battle. If we win this case, we will keep him out of the White House. If we lose, Gary and his committee of lawyers, and many of us are supportive of this,

if Mr. Obama is indeed inaugurated, we will file a lawsuit against the inauguration for being illegal and against the chief justice of the Supreme Court for swearing in a usurper. And then, typically on the first day of office, the president signs a bunch of bills. Every bill or document he signs, we will file a separate lawsuit. For every decision he makes, it’s gonna to be tied up in court.

All because Barry won't (can't) produce a simple thing like a long-form birth certificate...

We don’t know what they will do when they count the votes. That’s the only opportunity for them to do something. There is no way they can just bring it up on the floor now.

One single military officer can bring suit too, probably a lot sooner than a civilian, because orders are “valid” because of the chain of command, and if there is doubt about the legitimacy of the CiC, a soldier could refuse an order from his or her superior and take it to court.

RE: Members of Congress have standing but..

Just trying to help the Critters.

Republican Congress members can say,

"You're not going to dump this garbage on us."

It's an old trick but it just might work again and stop the appeals from Americans to do something.

("You're not going to dump this garbage on us," Senator Trent Lott told GOP House members who had led the impeachment of Bill Clinton for lying among other malfeasance.)

Every stroke of Barry’s pen, every decision he makes, every order he gives, will result in another separate lawsuit. Now there’s a strategy!

Is this situation exactly what we have been warn of from our founding fathers that if we do not guard against them the usurpers of freedom would put the shackles of enslavement back upon us.

It is time for the blood of the tyrants to be spilled by our combined votes at the voter box. If we do not turn this around in the next election I am afraid we will never reclaim the Republic.

There was quite a hubbub over McCain's birth place. The MSM employees jumped on it, there were constitution heavyweights discussing it -- didn't go far though. McCain immediately produced his long form birth certificate. Imagine the noise from the MSM employees if he hadn't.

Of course they still argued a little about the Canal Zone.

Thanks for posting this.

If there is any justice, Obama will be forced to reveal the root documents behind the short-form Certification of Live Birth that he released. Even if the released COLB is legitimate, it would not prove that he was actually born in Hawaii.

The public intellectual dishonesty on this issue has been sickening. I expect it from the left, but this time the right has been just as bad.

If the short form COLB is not considered adequate documentation for paternity suits and for Hawaiian state agencies, why on earth should it be considered adequate documentation to permit Obama to become the U.S. President? Obama could have asked the State of Hawaii and the hospital where he was born to release all his birth records to the public. A few phone calls, issue resolved. The fact that he has not already done it probably means that he cannot do it.

Certifigate reminds me more and more of "The Emperor's New Clothes."

>"It seems that government has abandoned us."

Have you emailed your senators and representatives?

Mine refused to do their SWORN DUTY!

And it aint like asking anything really difficult, just confirm NATURAL BIRTH CITIZENSHIP, before accepting the EC vote. Simple enough.

There is a similar case in the Washington State Supreme Court, Broe vs. Reed, challenging Obama’s non-citizenship. It’s scheduled for January 8, 2009.

I believe it DOES have a prayer!

Or perhaps a military officer will refuse to obey an order based upon his uncertainty that it is a lawful order by the lawful commander-in-chief. He will be court martialed and in his defense team will have the the birth certificate subpoenaed.

“How can it be trusted to defend the country against its enemies”

You remind me of something that was brought to my attention yesterday. We ultimately won World War 2 by outproducing Hitler and Tojo. American industry cranked up fast and spit out weapons by the blue million, so to speak, while the bombers began to whittle down the enemy’s production facilities until they could no longer support their armies.

The main producers were the Detroit three, besides the existing aircraft manufacturers. Chrysler no longer has the tank plant, GM is teetering on the brink of bankruptcy and Ford is keeping a stiff upper lip. That was our production capability. Now it’s gone.

It’s as if we are being disarmed.

It’s bizarre that the ignorance of the American people is so great that they are enslaving themselves even as they call for “diversity”, “openness”, “outreach”, and other such liberal buzz words. The problem is and remains the American people.

Power to the People! Let’s see a REAL Birth Certificate. The FACT is, that EVERY VOTER has standing to sue over Hussein Obama’s eligibility to serve. The so-called “Courts” are just not recognizing it, for whatever internal reasons they have.
