I'm glad you're cool, too.
Times were very different. Women were not as independent, nor society as open to things not the norm. A white woman with a black infant would have attracted many stares. Air travel was not the bus ride that it is today. It doesn't seem remarkable until you remember that this was the Eisenhower era (maybe not the administration), where girls expected to grow up to be housewives after a year or two of being a secretary.
I agree. This is why I think she would have come home to mommy in Hawaii to have her baby. And in 1961 people were grown-ups at 18. Ten years or so later, I was pregnant, at age 19, and a daddy at 20. A single dad at 22 for a number of years. That was just the way things were.
I remember the week in the hospital, stuff. And starting college with a 3 week old? And in those days college was not the fluff ball it is today. Did she leave O with her mom? Do we know?
parsy.
My first reaction--she was there, but not the baby--just too darned complicated, would have left him behind with grandma in the usual and natural scheme of things, in Hawaii where mixed-race children are not unusual even in 1961.
Jack Cashill, who did a lot of work with the fascinating question of whether Bill Ayers actually wrote "Dreams"--has had a lot of fun playing with this particular fact about Seattle and the whole birth conspiracy. When chasing down a mystery, the calendar is your best friend. His stuff is on American Thinker.
True. A timeline, on wide paper, with little line for all things that are there—and a spot for all things that should have been there and don’t seem to be. Amazing what you can figure out at times.

Please don’t misunderstand the point.
Of course we are by nature inclined to evil. Though our daily actions are changeable by force of will, our nature is not.
Free will is a gift, a small compartment of freedom within which we may flip the dial in either direction, according to our own personal choice.
But this is the internal reality and has nothing to do with external truth. Moral truths are external to us, and the nature of moral truths cannot be changed by our thoughts or our beliefs. This is what is meant by absolute morality, and absolute truth.
The absolute truths the founding fathers wrote about and derived our Constitution from are the rights we are granted by God. People who don’t like the founding fathers and their writings think we should distort and change the intentions of these great men.
I say the Constitutional protection against internal overthrow of our country—the Natural Born Citizen clause—should not be lowered.
And the interpretation of NBC, and what it means, was by means of English common law. It was taken back at least to 1608. THE most common book of the English common law was put together by William Blackstone, arguably one of the most conservative lawyers of all time.
Read a little about him. This is home page.Go into just a little:

But now the Birthers want to gut Blackstone and go running around with Vattel because it suits the needs of the moment. But don’t take my word. Read a little about Blackstone, and Judeo-Christian roots of our country.

| > I don’t trust Obama, but the COLB looks real. It's deeper than Obama, Parsy. IT'S NOT JUST OBAMA. It also involves Obama's 2008 Chicago Campaign office, hand-picked political hacks at FactCheck, and Nancy Pelosi at the DNC. You could never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy than the cast of characters surrounding Obama’s FactCheck “birth certificate”. Let's try it the other way for you, Parsy.

Why in the world do you think we shouldn’t protect our nation from internal overthrow by our enemies?
Whether friend or enemy, Obama should never have been given a free pass by Pelosi and everyone else.

I know a few places we could troll with them as whole bait... :)
She and I have had a long discussion on another thread. She refuses to answer any of my questions. Then she accuses me of being a “bully” and “stalking” her since I keep asking her questions about her tagline and which “many churches” are “hate churches”.
Link to the beginning of the discussion:

In response to my list of leftist’s characteristics; she denies that her (I guess extensive and vast liberal acquaintance, knows them very well apparently) have those qualities. At first I didn’t realize that she is a stealth leftist, but I was soon disabused.
Didn’t you and the rest of Birther Coven 23, just talk to the actual person who prepared this phony Kenyan BC? My feelings are a little bit hurt that you guys didn’t ping me to the conversation. I am beginning to think you all don’t like me.
Oh, BTW, you are missing another very important person in all this has a thread going.
parsy, who is just sitting here, twiddling his thumbs, and whistling
I still want to know which “many churches” are “hate churches” and exactly who or what they hate.
I told her yesterday. She likes her tagline, as a protest against all those “hate churches” like Westboro the leftist street theater hate church.
He wasn’t. That being said, he should let his long form out so these birthers, or some of them, can have some peace.

Actually, the Chain of Custody would look more like this ...

So, why was it again, that you think we shouldn’t protect our nation from internal overthrow by our enemies?
Sheesh - my mistake. On THIS thread. Too many windows open - too many leftist weirdos...
