Obama’s Birth Certificate Possibly a Fraud

Unstamped certificate suggests Obama may not be "natural born" US citizen

The "birth certificate" claimed by the Barack Obama campaign is not certified as authentic and appears to be a photoshopped fake.
BO_Birth_Certificate.jpg

The image, purporting to come from the Hawaii Department of Health, has been the subject of intense skepticism in the blogosphere in the past two weeks. But now the senior spokesman of that Department has confirmed to Israel Insider what are the required features of a certified birth document -- features that Obama's purported "birth certificate" clearly lack.

Why I'm Voting Democrat

Why I'm Voting Democrat

A new video on YouTube (above) is taking the Internet by storm. Entitled "I'm Voting Republican," the satirical clip depicts actors playing conservative Americans of all shapes and sizes explaining why they would vote for the GOP.

"Arnold Jones" says he's voting Republican because "all other countries are inferior to us" -- and his wife, "Trudy Jones," adds, "and we should start as many wars as we need to keep it that way." A soldier in Iraq states that he's voting Republican "so I can stay in Iraq" -- and a young boy, labeled "future draftee," points a fake gun at the camera and smiles while saying "so I can go to Iran!"

A black couple says they're voting Republican because they "like a conservative majority on the Supreme Court," with the wife noting, "we really like knowing that even if we're separate, we'll still be called equal."

This insulting nonsense is precisely what liberals think of conservatives: We're all warmongers, racists, environmental rapists and secret emissaries of big corporations. We're going to reinstitute the draft, start a war with Canada and then relocate African-Americans to Quebec.

Descending the Ladder of Presidential Competency

McCAIN'S TOWNHALL BOMB

Is it just me or when John McCain spoke at his "townhall" event last night, did most audience members look like they were silently trying to pass kidney stones? McCain gave a substantive analysis of the situation in Iraq but then he veered dreadfully off course once he turned to other matters.

On the rise in energy costs:

"I believe there needs to be a thorough and complete investigation of speculators to find out whether speculation has been going on and, if so, how much it has affected the price of a barrel of oil," McCain said. Hello! It's called commodities trading, it exists, and it's a vital part of the market economy.

None Of The Above

WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU DON'T LIKE ANY OF THESE CANDIDATES

Hillary Clinton. John McCain. Barack Obama. Those are our choices for the next president of the United States. Are you happy with that selection? If not, what is your alternative? As the saying goes, “The lesser of two evils is still evil.”

Beyond the presidential race we have congressional candidates, governors, state legislators, county commissioners, mayors, and city council candidates. Are you happy with whom the parties have chosen to offer for election? If not, what’s your alternative?

The real issues of the day are not even being addressed in the campaigns. The falling dollar that will render our money worthless; the rising gas prices that grab the last of our worthless money; the invasion of illegal aliens that are changing our society; the globalization of our economy; assaults on our private property; the loss of American jobs to foreign countries; and now the threat of food shortages.

Judge Me By the Company That I Keep

John McCain stated in the Republican debates at the Reagan Library that people can judge him by the company he keeps. Well let's take a little look at the people John McCain considers his "company".

Read on for the facts - instead of promises and disrespect for your intelligence. In fact, let's apply John McCain's admonition and judge every candidate by the company that they keep.

Reclaim Our Inheritance

The Presidential election of 2008 is the most important event facing our nation this year. Quite naturally, our attention is focused not only on the candidates, but the many challenges and issues, both domestic and international, that the next President will have to deal with. Concerning these issues, we all have our ideas and potential solutions and on this site as well as others, we have the opportunity to discuss them.

While there are many different opinions expressed, a common point missing in these discussions is how we can make these solutions happen. The truth of the matter is that the elites who control the two major parties are not listening to "we the people". Sure, they say that they are, and at every opportunity, they are quick to mention the Constitution or the rule of law or the will of the people. These phrases however, have become sound bites brought out at the appropriate TV moment to enhance their election prospects. Once in power however, they quickly ignore what they promised.

The two major parties have engineered the election process to assure themselves continued power. Using the propaganda machines of the DEM/GOP/MSM, they have cleverly duped the American people to ensure their hold on power by using two tactics.

Our Champions of Change

unclesam15.jpg
Bush, Pelosi, Reid and most the Federal Representatives are willing to pay the people so they can walk away while saying they’ve done something to help...

Tonight my wife and I took a break from the politics dominating the nation to watch 3:10 From Yuma, the western starring Christian Bale and Russell Crowe. At one point there was an exchange between the Pinkerton man, Butterfield, that had hired Bale's character, Dan Evans, to help take Crowe's character, Ben Wade, to meet the train to Yuma. Near the end it wasn't looking good for the law and he offered to pay Bale the $200.00 in wages so he could take his son and go home.

Wade told Butterfield it reminded him of the time the government paid him for the loss of his leg after the Civil War. He'd realized then it was not so he could walk away but it was so the government could walk away and feel like they had done something for him. He told Butterfield the offer wasn't so he could take his son and leave; it was so Butterfield could feel justified in leaving. I was immediately reminded of the stimulus package the Congress and President Bush just passed.

Obama, Clinton and McCain are superb candidates

Obama, Clinton and McCain are superb candidates

The presidential race is now down to three superb candidates. Why are they superb? Because, each, in his or her own way, is willing to give Americans what they want. And down deep, most Americans want the same thing.

You might think that Americans want different things, because they differ on Iraq, abortion, and public expression of religion, illegal immigration, gun ownership, taxes, and global warming. You’re right, of course. That’s why there are some differences between the three finalists on these issues.

But on the most important issue, Americans want the same thing.

What do they want?

Regardless of party, they want the president (and the rest of government) to use government power for far more than the protection of life, liberty and property.

What would JFK do?

What would JFK do?
By Jeff Jacoby
February 17, 2008

IN 1963, John F. Kennedy was murdered in Texas by a fervent admirer of Cuban dictator Fidel Castro. In 2008, a large Cuban flag emblazoned with the image of Che Guevara, Castro's brutal henchman, is prominently displayed in a Barack Obama campaign volunteer office in Houston.

Obama has been widely compared to JFK, most notably by the late president's brother and daughter. President Kennedy, a stalwart anticommunist, despised Castro and his gang of totalitarian thugs. But when word broke last week that Obama's supporters in Houston work under a banner glorifying Che, the campaign's reaction was to brush it off as an issue involving volunteers, not the official campaign. After two days of controversy, the campaign issued a statement calling the flag "inappropriate" and saying its display "does not reflect Senator Obama's views." Would JFK have reacted so mildly?

We Have Found the Enemy--and the Enemy is Us

McCainMutiny.jpg

Today is February 2, 2008.

I am over fifty years old. I am a product of American values, observed and experienced in the 1950s and 1960s, and sorely tried in the Vietnam, Watergate, and Carter years of the 1970s, and again in the Clinton years of the 1990s.

This is the timeframe and events that formed my political worldview. I grew up when we still said a prayer and read Psalm 23 at the beginning of the school day. I remember doing the duck and cover in elementary school, to be safe in the event of a Cold War nuclear attack, even though being only 12 miles from NYC, the odds of surviving such an attack or its aftermath was just about a negative number. I remember the pride in America and its flag; the meaning of independence, especially on the Fourth of July. My father's parents were immigrants and my mother was an immigrant, and the old country was just that--the "old" country. Most of my uncles served in the US Army and Navy during WW2, while my father was a foreman in a defense plant. The prosperity,music, and the social fabric of America in the 1950s and 1960s are still a source of inspiration to me. Because of my parents' background, we always helped anyone in need that came our way. My parents would brook no discrimination, even when at the time it was common to discriminate on the basis of skin color. No, the promise of America was for everyone. Sometimes, only an immigrant can appreciate America's true value, as did my parents.

A New Axis of Evil

Who Hijacked the Primaries?

With John McCain’s all-too-easy road to the nomination paved through Florida and now nearly complete one thing is clear: The Republican Party has been hijacked. Over the past month a new Axis of Evil has emerged -- not one based in Damascus, Tehran or Pyongyang -- but instead in Cedar Rapids, Charleston, South Carolina, Derry, New Hampshire and Boca Raton, Florida. It is the liberal and “independent” voters in these 4 states that have nearly completed a deed that makes Kim Jong Il envious -- the near crippling of the American Electoral System. These four states have combined their native liberal populism with an imported liberal electorate and have forced the GOP to accept a nominee so distasteful that in more than one poll -- the numbers of voters choosing not to vote and those choosing to vote third party actually exceed those who will hold their nose and vote for Maverick, War Hero, Amnesty Supporter, John McCain.

Do Elephants Have Long Memories?

B&A.jpg
2006 mid-term congressional elections

I don't usually like heartwarming stories, but this one is truly interesting... and it contains an important message for political incumbents and future candidates seeking political office.

In 1986, Mkele Mbembe was on holiday in Kenya after graduating from Northwestern University. On a hike through the bush, he came across a young bull elephant standing with one leg raised in the air. The elephant seemed distressed, so Mbembe approached it very carefully. He got down on one knee and inspected the elephant's foot and found a large piece of wood deeply embedded in it. As carefully and as gently as he could, Mbembe worked the wood out with his hunting knife, after which the elephant gingerly put down its foot.

The elephant turned to face the man, and with a rather curious look on its face, stared at him for several tense moments. Mbembe stood frozen, thinking of nothing else but being trampled. Eventually the elephant trumpeted loudly, turned, and walked away. Mbembe never forgot that elephant or the events of that day.

Will any President fix our problems?
By Craig Cantoni

Pundits, political elites and common folk are now claiming the problems facing the country are obvious and easy to fix, if only we had the sense to elect someone who wants to fix them. Broadcasting star Glenn Beck said that very thing the other day on his show.

A growing feeling of economic insecurity, widespread disgust with Congress, and disillusionment with George Bush have led many Americans to embrace the platitudes of Barack Obama, the sophistry of Hillary, the religiosity of Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee, the populism of John Edwards, the bully-bully of John "Teddy Roosevelt" McCain, the vacuity of Fred Thompson, the...

Rush Limbaugh, are you the White Rabbit?

Rush.jpg

Rush, you chose to share in a limited fashion your experiences as a guest at the White House on your Friday, August 3rd radio broadcast. While en route a dentist appointment, I felt compelled to pull over and take notes. Some of what I was hearing did not ring with the pure tone of your lead crystal I’m accustomed to hearing. It sounded and felt more like a cavity being drilled prior to an unavoidable filling. Now, freely using many of your own words, with the disclaimer that I am a simple man who feels unconstrained by who said what to whom, what follows is the average man’s reply. Please accept my comments as a personal viewpoint counter to those you expressed.
