Ghoster:

How is it that Barry O. has no kindergarten records? That is, all students of class have records which can be accessed but Barry O.’s records aren’t even there!

How is that possible?

(rhetorical)

Allow me to answer it anyway:

0b0z0 isn't a mortal. He's a Messiah. He appeared on earth to enslave us all. Don'tchaknow?

“The Texas Democratic Party broke the law in Texas when they nominated Obama as their candidate for POTUS.”

There should be a LAW that requires that all political parties be able to check and validate their opponent’s bona fides. Like The MAN said, trust but verify.

But she reminds me a lot of the late Sen. Patrick Moynihan whose writings usually made overwhelming sense yet he voted pure party line Democrat.

He was always a real puzzle to me, too.

Is there not one state that requires a birth certificate I am researching to see if and when WV changed their requirements. I am beginning to wonder if this might have been a well thought out and manipulated situation.

Of course it was well thought and we have researched it came up with nothing.

There is no requirement of proof. Only your oath and a handshake.

He got away with it, cause any official questioning him was afraid of being deemed A RACIST! Same thing going on now and forevermore, unless & until we can bodily remove him from the Oval Office.

Camille Paglia Provides Much-Needed Intellectual Cred for Birthers

Talk about ad hominem!

The intellectual credibility the article has in mind comes from the nature of the criticisms of zero: no school records; no medical records; no passport history; no birth certificate. It has nothing to do with WHO criticizes him.

This is typical of the left. An argument is only credible for them if it comes from the “right” kind of person, i.e., someone on the left.

Paglia doesn’t impress me that much. She’s written a few good essays on the decline of university education, but nothing compared to what others have written on the same issue: Thomas Sowell, for example, and even C. S. Lewis (see his amazing essay “The Abolition of Man”). She insists on calling herself a libertarian, yet supported Nader, Kerry, and Obama. She thinks government spending is great...as long as it’s for the things she feels deserves your tax money, such as “infrastructure.” The simple economic insights that government spending is, by definition, consumption spending (i.e., completely unproductive), and that taxation is nothing more than redistribution of wealth, are unknown to her. She’s full of opinions about economic policy, but appears not to know a thing about economics.

Paglia strikes me as sort of the “official bad-girl” of the left. In other words, after proving her leftist credentials in articles supporting government intervention in many aspects of our lives, as well as in articles trashing former President Bush and VP Cheney (whom she especially despised), her criticisms of the left are then tolerated by her fellow travelers as well as occasionally applauded by them, as if to say “See? Look how honest we are about ourselves! We can take criticism!”

The lisp. The sailor suit. The public exhibitionism.

I'm telling you, Daisy was a beard.

“I’m waiting for the legal opinion of two people before posting it. I’m hopeful it can be used as the basis of a lawsuit against the TDP and the SOS of Texas.”

can you ping me when it’s up?
