"The will of the electorate" in this case is moot if, in fact, they were grossly misled into voting for a Kenyan.
Had the electorate known him not to be an American he would never have been elected in the first place.
You said — “One thing is clear. We need to be all over our legislators to enact laws that require an open and honest standard of vetting these candidates.”
Oklahoma has started the process. I think it’s the first state in the U.S. to do so. I’ll be talking to the legislators there, when the session opens...
You said — “He will go down in history as the only president to have subpoenas served daily.”
Ummm..., can we check back on that in about six months with that count?
You said — “Rumor says that O’s parents divorce papers state that O was born in Kenya, to be released TODAY.”
Ummmm..., it’s like Chief Editor Korir, with API (African Press International) when he was going to come out with one thing or another. A detail changed, a date change, a complication came up, and so on. Eventually nothing would ever come of it (at least the way that it was told at first...).
So, with this Ed Hale and his Plains Radio program, it seems to be that way already. So, we’ll see how the “details” work out. The devil is always in the details and people keep getting “strung along” on this Obama qualification issue.
And, as you know, Ed Hale was also involved with Chief Editor Korir and his Michelle Obama tape, where she said that Obama was born in Kenya. After Ed Hale and Chief Editor Korir got into a tiff over Ed airing the tape, but threatened to sue Korir for breach of contract, because Korir said the tape was going to Fox News — Ed just dropped off the scene... LOL..
So, we’ll see how this “works out”. My guess is that — as usual — it’s *never* what we’re told at first, and it never works out to accomplish what everyone here wants (which is to get proof that Obama not qualified). And, of course, that’s the big problem, since no one has any proof...
I wish FR had an ignore button!
I will be ignoring your long and clueless rants.

***There’s a cool setup on the religion threads, using ecumenical tags or prayer tags or Caucus tags. It would be interesting to open a thread or two of these Certifigate items under such guidelines. I did that with Crevo and the experiment was more or less successful, just very high maintenance.
http://www.freerepublic.com/~religionmoderator/
Types of threads and guidelines pertaining to the Religion Forum:
Prayer threads are closed to debate of any kind.
Devotional threads are closed to debate of any kind.
Caucus threads are closed to any poster who is not a member of the caucus.
For instance, if it says “Catholic Caucus” and you are not Catholic, do not post to the thread. However, if the poster of the caucus invites you, I will not boot you from the thread.
The “caucus” article and posts must not compare beliefs or speak in behalf of a belief outside the caucus.
Ecumenic threads are closed to antagonism.
To antagonize is to incur or to provoke hostility in others.
Unlike the “caucus” threads, the article and reply posts of an “ecumenic” thread can discuss more than one belief, but antagonism is not tolerable.
More leeway is granted to what is acceptable in the text of the article than to the reply posts. For example, the term “gross error” in an article will not prevent an ecumenical discussion, but a poster should not use that term in his reply because it is antagonistic. As another example, the article might be a passage from the Bible which would be antagonistic to Jews. The passage should be considered historical fact and a legitimate subject for an ecumenic discussion. The reply posts however must not be antagonistic.
Contrasting of beliefs or even criticisms can be made without provoking hostilities. But when in doubt, only post what you are “for” and not what you are “against.” Or ask questions.
Ecumenical threads will be moderated on a “where there’s smoke, there’s fire” basis. When hostility has broken out on an “ecumenic” thread, I’ll be looking for the source.
Therefore “anti” posters must not try to finesse the guidelines by asking loaded questions, using inflammatory taglines, gratuitous quote mining or trying to slip in an “anti” or “ex” article under the color of the “ecumenic” tag.
Posters who try to tear down other’s beliefs or use subterfuge to accomplish the same goal are the disrupters on ecumenic threads and will be booted from the thread and/or suspended.
Open threads are a town square. Antagonism though not encouraged, should be expected
Posters may argue for or against beliefs of any kind. They may tear down other’s beliefs. They may ridicule.
On all threads, but particularly “open” threads, posters must never “make it personal.” Reading minds and attributing motives are forms of “making it personal.” Making a thread “about” another Freeper is “making it personal.”
When in doubt, review your use of the pronoun “you” before hitting “enter.”
Like the Smoky Backroom, the conversation may be offensive to some.
Thin-skinned posters will be booted from “open” threads because in the town square, they are the disrupters.
If you do not specify the type of thread, it will be considered “open.”
Great idea!
Feel free to steal it. I think I’ve used up quite a bit of the religion mod’s patience.
Yes, “enforced political correctness” should work very well... :-)
Try, “this thread closed to all but crazy ideas that don’t work in real life...”
See, the idea probably has merit... ;-)
LOL!
