Regarding your link - scary stuff. But it still basically gets down to the one word I mentioned: FEAR.
In this instance the fear is sadly misplaced. We have more to fear from government tyranny and removal of all freedoms than nuclear winter. But then I would rather be dead than living in a gulag. I’m quirky that way.

“I’ve worked with these people, and what they’re concerned about is the growing size of government,” Boehner said.
Something Boehner wasn’t in the least bit concerned with when the GOP ran the White House and Congress.

“Absolutely,” Limbaugh, among the president’s fiercest critics, told NBC when asked if he’d be willing to speak with Obama. “I’d be honest with him. The President of the United States is the President of the United States. I want this country to succeed, and if he invited me up there to chat, I would owe him up the dignity of being honest.”
And did Rush have a straight face when he said that?

I know that I never felt such loathing and contempt for a president as I do for Obama.
But what you’re directing towards Obama we all saw directed towards Bush. And we’ll see directed to the next Republican president and the next Democrat president, whoever he or she may be. It’s gone past partisanship and is now visceral. I don’t think it bodes well for us as a nation when a large segment of the population at any one point has such a burning hatred towards the president.

McCain is making a lot of hay out of Obama’s inexperience and lack of qualifications for the presidency. He loses that by selecting a veep even less qualified that his opponent is.

Hardly.
There is a very old saying in the South about people who are as dumb as a fence post or a rock. It does as much good to argue with a post as it is does with some people. The results are the same.
And I imagine that the Southern population is equally divided between the two types.
It’s really a sad state of affairs when the President of the United States cannot address school children
It also means that no future president will ever be able to address America’s students in a nationwide speech ever again.
I see people jumping on the Palin bandwagon for the same reason that they jumped on the Obama bandwagon - a pretty face who talks a good game

As a rule I don’t buy politician’s memoirs. But I might make an exception in this case.
Earth to Steele, Earth to Steele, come in Steele. Every president stacks the room for events like this. Obama didn’t invent the process.
The Birther movement could disappear tomorrow and the GOP would be in the same sorry shape it’s currently in.
The problem, of course, being that the GOP is on a faster track to oblivion and are not in a position to take advantage.
I know people who have been out of work for 18 months or more. Who knew Obama’s actions went back that far?

There is fear of the chaos that will result, the potential racial wars, and on and on. For many its just easier to sweep everything under a rug and hope for removal in 2012.

This is where we musty sadly part legal company. He is exercising every prerogative of the office. He is the CIC. He is the de facto POTUS, and is, running the military, our foreign policy, and as is painfully obvious, the country. I have no doubt that he is ineligible. De facto, not de jure.
He cannot be removed except by impeachment and conviction in Congress. If the the SCOTUS rules on the appeal of the Writ of Quo Warranto, and finds him indeed to to be ineligible, they cannot order his removal.
That still is the sole prerogative of Congress. They may, or may not use the SCOTUS ruling in anyway they see fit.
Think of a real estate transaction, in which you take title to a home with a non-disclosed flaw. Your real estate agent failed in his due diligence. You own that property. You can sue the former owner who knew about the problem, you can sue your real estate agent for either knowing and not disclosing, or even for never knowing, and you can win. You will be made whole. But the house remains yours. Obama is your house. You will win, but in a time frame not to your liking, perhaps well after 2012 has come and gone.
We have lived to see a temporarily successful, anti-constitutional coup. If we are tempted to solve it by extra-constitutional means, we would be just as bad as Obama.
Concentrate your considerable energies on getting the GOP in shape to hobble the usurper in 2011 1nd 2012.

Minor, which was also quoted by WKA. It’s been reported that six Supreme Court cases used the same basic definition.
He has no life. He slinks around FR looking for Southern, Lincoln, Civil War or birth certificate thread so that he can fight and call names. Look at his past posts. He literally loves on FR. He is also FR’s master copyandpaster. His new name is numbnuts. He also posts on DU, the link was posted the other day.
Pathetic doesn’t even begin to describe him. You have no idea, trust me...check your FReepmail later for some info.

Ping... anyone know who the guy on the far left is?
No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.
How can someone not eligible to an office hold it, other than de facto? It's a logical impossibility.
Yes he is the de facto President, but that would cease to be the case once it was adjudicted that he was indeed not eligible. No one would be bound to obey his orders, nor would he legitimately be able to sign bills into law, nor do anything else that the President may do.
How what he has already done would be handled is another matter, and even I'm not so arrogant to believe I have any clue how that would all happen. But it certainly would be fodder for whole generations of lawyers.
Kenyan Easter Bunny?
We all know he is a liar, a phony and a very sneaky troll. Wink
Yep, longtime troll.
The Canadian says what we daren’t.
Excerpted:
"We now have the case of an honorable man, a serving officer and a physician, an honorable man who is behaving honorably, as he tells his civilian masters that they have not behaved honorably. Unfortunately, he must do that not directly against the civilian masters themselves who have dishonorably abdicated their responsibility to vet the constitutional eligibility of a president-elect, but against his military superiors in the chain of command within the military. And therein lies the rub.
"A Military officer is nothing if he is dishonorable. It is insupportable that dishonorable men could hold the fate of others in their hands. This is part of our ethos since David, Bathsheba and the unfortunate but honorable Uriah the Hittite.
Thus, it is important that Colonel Lakin exercises his "civil" disobedience in a forthright manner. It is a pity that he is driven to do so in the military context, that is, it would have been much to be desired if he had resigned his commission and then spoken out. That would probably avoid risking a precedent that a serving officer can disobey an order made in the regular course because he believes the Commander-in-Chief serves unconstitutionally. The threat to the chain of command and to the civilian control of the military is obvious.
"But Colonel Lakin could not make effective his civil disobedience in the civilian world. Once he resigns his commission his 15 minutes of fame is over.
It is notable that Billy Mitchell lost much of his ability to reach the public to preach for air power after his resignation.
As a practical matter, a military court martial is the only effective way Colonel Lifton could seize the moment to make his point. In doing so he is explicitly assuming the ethical risks of that decision by knowingly exposing himself to court-martial. He honorably assumes the burden of ethical civil disobedience, a lawfully imposed penalty.
"Indeed, his decision can be regarded to be all the more honorable relative to the dishonor of so many serving politicians who have left a man of conscience no other option. So far, the Secretaries of our various states have looked the other way and certified the candidate without actually examining his bona fides . The press has abdicated its traditional role to illuminate such questions out of a worldview that says..."

No. Let me know if you find out. I would assume a Kenyan relative, same getup as in other pictures of relatives from Kenya.
