Leftists have only one standard, and it’s always wrong. They’re evil and cannot see truth or speak it.

In this battle to establish or re-establish the constitutional eligibility rules for Presidential candidates, the Leftists are not the real problem.

The problem is that the Establishment GOP and the RINOS in elected office on the local, state, and federal level are monolithic in their entrenched positions against those questioning the eligibility of Barack Obama to have run for, and occupy the office of POTUS.

With the exception of a few state legislators who have loudly promised, although not delivered, to enact eligibility legislation at the state level, not one Republican Congressman, not one Senator, not one governor, not one state AG has uttered a word of support to us. Can you not imagine how much farther down the road we would be with one nationally recognized elected Republican on our side? The Leftists have pulled off an anti-constitutional coup and the Republicans remain silent.

If I had a dollar for every elected Republican who has uttered the "Born in Hawaii" mantra, Freerepublic would never have another fundraiser. I have not heard one (1)elected Republican even approach the "Natural Born Citizen" issue. On the talk radio side, an almost unbroken wall of silence. Mark Levin wrote a book about the Constitution, but he has no commentary on Article II. Since he also wrote a book about his dog, I must assume his dog ate Article II from his copy of he COTUS. But he is not alone. The powerful Limbaugh? a few jibes about the birth certificate brouhahah. About NBC, precisely nothing. Hannity? Nothing. O'Reilly (who is an operative of the Democrat Party) mockery. Coulter? Ditto. That, by the cold light of dawn, is where we are with this.

Those who disagree with us from the left, no matter what their motives, are at least open about it. It is IMHO, tragic that those who should agree with us about a traditional interpretation of Article II are hostile at best, and work against us at worst.

Given the above, it is nothing short of miraculous that the legal efforts we support have gotten this far. Through Attorney Hemenway, the issue is once again at least in conference at the SCOTUS. That tells me we are closer to having our grievance at least addressed in the right venue.

We have moved the issue from nowhere to somewhere, with NO support from our political party and those whom we have elected to represent us.
