IS BHO Kenyan?

With a court hearing scheduled for tomorrow, Lucas Smith, the owner of a certified copy of a Kenyan birth certificate purported to belong to one Barrack Hussein Obama, has testified, under threat of perjury, that said document is the true birth certificate of pResident Obama. Will it stand up to scrutiny? I have no idea.

I DO find it telling, however, that Mr. Obama has still refused to release his long-form Hawaiian Birth Certificate....or ANY other personal record, for that matter.

I don't want to believe that even the DNC would be so lax as to allow a Constitutionally unqualified person to run, much allow him to be seated as POTUS. While Mr. Obama seems to regard the issue as a matter of his personal privacy, it behooves ANYONE who aspires to be the Chief Executive of this country to be as open as possible to the People in his past activities and associations, not to mention his BASIC qualifications. I can't get a job as a delivery truck driver without my past being reviewed, to include a birth certificate; the office of POTUS should require at least as stringent a review, shouldn't it?

With a scheduled hearing date Tuesday, Lucas Smith, the man who tried to sell an alleged Barack Obama Kenyan birth certificate on eBay, has filed court papers in a high-profile eligibility case insisting – under threat of perjury – that the Obama birth certificate in his possession is the genuine article. (emp. mine D)

Smith filed his affidavit through California attorney Orly Taitz, who has spearheaded several lawsuits challenging Barack Obama's constitutional eligibility to serve as president.

Taitz posted on her blog Smith's declaration, which claims he obtained the alleged birth certificate from Coast General Hospital in Mombasa, Kenya, and insists it's real.

"The true and correct photocopy of the birth certificate obtained is attached to this affidavit as Exhibit A," the declaration reads. "I declare, certify, verify, state and affirm under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States of America that the foregoing statements of fact and descriptions of circumstances and events are true and correct."

Smith's affidavit, which includes a copy of the certificate, has been filed with Judge David Carter of the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. Carter is scheduled to preside over a hearing on the case on Sept. 8.

Taitz stated she believes the swiftly approaching court date prompted Smith into action:"He has been in touch with me for quite a while, and he emailed me the document with his signature," Taitz said. "I think he was trying to figure out the most expedient way to bring his message public, and maybe he felt that because I have a hearing coming, that would be the most expedient way."

Taitz hopes the court will order expedited discovery, a ruling that would open many of Obama's currently sealed documents, including his college records and Hawaiian long-form birth certificate, to court scrutiny.

"We'll see what happens on Tuesday. If Judge Carter has the guts, we may move very fast," Taitz told WND. "If expedited discovery is ordered, I'll be dashing to Occidental College and then be on a flight to Hawaii."

In his filing, Smith declares that he traveled to Kenya in February and paid off a military officer in order to obtain a copy of the birth certificate from Coast General Hospital in Mombasa. The declaration also states that the hospital administrator signed and sealed the copy, which indicates Obama's birth in Africa on Aug. 4, 1961, at 7:24 p.m.

Mr Smith's reputation is such that it does bring serious questions about the documents authenticity, but as he puts it:"It took a guy like me to go and get tangible proof about Obama. I don't mind breaking a few laws or policies here and there. I don't mind paying the military in foreign countries to look the other way ... The military [in Africa] will grant you access to anything for just a few dollars. People are starving. So yes, it takes a guy like me to get things done once in a while."

I DON'T want to be a "Birther"; conspiracy theories generally leave me unimpressed by their adherent's common sense generally and intelligence specifically. Having said that, it still has to give one pause when you consider that:

A. IF Mr. Smith is a fraud, it will easily be found out, and the consequences will not be good for Mr. Smith. (the general perjury statute under Federal law provides for a prison sentence of up to five years)

B. Mr. Smith no longer has any monetary gain to be made on his insistence that the document is genuine; it's been released into the public domain now, so he can't sell it for profit as he originally intended.

C. pResident Obama could easily refute this claim by releasing his Hawaiian Birth Certificate and other records.

Now ask yourself, WHY would a person risk five years in Federal Prison for no personal gain; while the person under investigation is concurrently expending hundreds of thousands of dollars and attorney man hours by 11 different law firms to keep the requested information from public view?

Admittedly, maybe Mr. Smith just wants notoriety, but five years in prison seems a large price to pay for 15 minutes of fame...
You don't have to be a conspiracy theorist to smell the smoke of a huge fire, or a large rat lurking in the dark recesses of the White House .


The document below is alleged by Lucas Smith to be Barack Obama's original, authentic birth certificate from Kenya. Judge for yourself. I believe it warrants at least a closer examination of the qualifications of the man who would be our Leader.

The Marine

Photobucket

We all came together,
Both young and old
To fight for our freedom,
To stand and be bold.

In the midst of all evil,
We stand our ground,
And we protect our country
From all terror around.

Peace and not war,
Is what some people say.
But I'll give my life,
So you can live the American way

To talk of your peace.
To stand in your groups,
and protest in our streets.

But still I fight on,
I don't fuss, I don't whine.
I'm just one of the people!
Who is doing your time.

I'm harder than nails,
Stronger than any machine.
I'm the immortal soldier,
I'm a U.S. MARINE!

So stand in my shoes,
And leave from your home.
Fight for the people who hate you,
With the protests they've shown.
Fight for the stranger,
Fight for the young.
So they all may have,
The greatest freedom you've won

Fight for the sick,
Fight for the poor
Fight for the cripple,
Who lives next door.

But when your time comes,
Do what I've done.
For if you stand up for freedom,
You'll stand when the fight's done

Imposter in Chief's School Propaganda

Photobucket

pResident Obama is scheduled to make a nationwide speech in the K -12 classrooms of the Public School indoctrination centers of the nation on September 8, 2009 at 12 noon Eastern Time.

The stated purpose of the speech is to stress the importance of getting a good education and working hard at one's studies.

Given the "Teaching Guidelines" accompanying the event, I find it to be a grand lesson in Propaganda.

“Write letters to themselves about what they can do to help the President.” ??? Just WHAT is there a nine year old is supposed to be ABLE to do to be able to do to "help the President?!?" Maybe Obama wasn't listening when he was in the 5th grade in Jakarta?

Will Obama interject Partisan politics into his message to our young skulls full of mush? I don't know, and in point of fact, I don't care if he doesn't. The EVENT itself is enough to trigger an alarm in the back of my admittedly politically suspicious mind. The message propounded, whatever it's content, isn't the point of the exercise; as a commenter at the Rott pointed out, the whole purpose behind this activity is BRANDING. The powers that be are attempting to associate Obama with the "good product". Obama becomes associated with the message of "study hard" and "do what is good for the Country".
Anyone trying to speak against this cynical ploy will be shouted down as being "against a good message". The trouble I have is with the underlying message that "Obama is the Good Leader", after all, all he wants is "for me to work hard and do well in school". Kim Ill Jong couldn't do a better job at indoctrination into a cult of personality.

If I had any readers, I'm sure of the first charge that would be levied against me: "I'm against this because I'm anti-Obama". And then will come the usual boilerplate talking points of "Racist", "Hate-monger", etc,etc ad nauseum.
For those who are Obamanoids, I'll make it easy to report my attitude:

It's up to PARENTS to instill a love of learning in their children, not the POTUS. I'm sure that had President Bush attempted to try a stunt like this, he would have been (and rightly so!) excoriated by the Left as being Hitlarian in the audacity of his cynical propaganda. (come to think of it, wasn't President Bush pilloried by the left because he was in a classroom, reading a book to the kids on 9/11/01, and he didn't jump right up and scare the children when he learned of the attack on the Twin Towers ?).

Look at this even in the light of this quote and ask yourself if there is truly nothing to fear in this blatant attempt to BRAND Obama:

"When an opponent declares, "I will not come over to your side," I calmly say, "Your child belongs to us already... What are you? You will pass on. Your descendants, however, now stand in the new camp. In a short time they will know nothing else but this new community." -- Adolph Hitler

"Those that don't know history are doomed to repeat it"

UPDATE: seems the White House has bowed to public opinion (not to mention the law) and pulled it's "snitch line" at Flag @whitehouse.gov.....sigh, and it was so much fun continually reporting myself as an Enemy of the ObamaState....

Whittle Speaks

Photobucket
A truly exceptional video about exceptionalism, by the great Bill Whittle.

Mr. Whittle breaks it down to show just how exceptional the United States of America truly is, and refutes every major talking point of the Left on their accusations of how we are "an Imperialist Empire", or "we rob our wealth from the poorer nations", or "we are a nation of stupid people". (I've often wondered how we can rob so many nations of their wealth by being a stupid people -- that statement seems counter-intuitive to me..., as far as Empire goes; I was born in a country totally devastated and decimated by WW2, if not for the U.S., it would still be at least a second world type of situation there; instead it's thriving, and due in large part to the generosity of the American people combined with the great work ethic of the Dutch people {point of pride for me here, Holland was the ONLY country to have totally repaid it's war debt to the U.S.})

Mel Reynolds

Jesse Jackson has added former Chicago Democrat

Congressman Mel to Rainbow/PUSH Coalition's payroll.

Reynolds was among the 176 criminals excused

in President Clinton's

Reynolds received a commutation of his six-and-a-half-year
federal sentence for 15 convictions of wire fraud, bank fraud,

and lies to the Federal Election Commission.

He is more notorious, however, for concurrently serving

five years for sleeping with an underage campaign volunteer.

This is a first in American politics: An ex-congressman who had

sex with a subordinate...won clemency from a president who had

sex with a subordinate...then was hired by a clergyman who had

sex with a subordinate!

His new job?

"No law ever written has stopped any robber, rapist or killer, like cold blue steel in the hands of their last intended victim." --W. Emerson Wright

And that's exactly what it all comes down to; in the end we are all responsible for our own defense, and the moment we forget that basic fact of life is the moment we become subject to any number of other fallacious tenets.

THE RECLAMATION OF INDEPENDENCE

Photobucket

Just as it was once necessary for our Forefathers to make a statement to assert their desires for freedom from a tyrannical ruler, it has came time for us to do the same and reassert our rights as free and independent men and women from a government that has become antithetical to that freedom and independence.

The following might be termed a REdeclaration of Independence. I am proud to say that it was written by a friend of mine who belongs to the same blog group I do.

I hereby publicly support this statement with no reservations and no disagreements as to content or tenor.

I split the text and put the bulk of the post under the fold merely for the sake of blog efficiency. I urge you to read it all,and please, if you agree with us, add your signature in the comments.

WHEN IN THE GENERATIONS SUCCEEDING the
one that pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor to
usher in the birth of the world’s only truly free nation, Liberty’s
Progeny incrementally ceded their birthright to the government
conceived and designed to serve a free people, and not be its servant,
this generation is awakening to the terrible mistake that we, and our
ancestors allowed to happen. Charged with the terrible knowledge that
comes with opened eyes, we now take up the long abdicated duty to rouse
our fellow citizens and actively wrest the power and the liberties that
have been progressively talked, cajoled, threatened, wheedled, and
extorted from us, not only by those who ostensibly served us, but by
their supporters and enablers who, by accident or design, saw fit to
usurp and disdain such freedoms, that they might be withheld, and where
impossible to withhold, might be condemned, until a corrosive contempt
for these liberties, wrapped in velvet gloves, might so suffocate the
circulation of them that this nation, conceived in liberty and the
providence of a wise and benevolent creator, might indeed perish from
the earth, plunging the rightful heirs of a proud and noble heritage in
the the darkened waters of chaos, despair, and evil that surround them,
a dank deluge that even today, other human beings actively seek to
escape from in the inspiring embrace of this blessed and free country.

Burned out

In South Los Angeles , a 4-plex was destroyed by a fire.
A Nigerian family of six con-artists lived on the first floor, and all six
died in the fire.

An Islamic group of seven welfare-cheats, all illegally in the country
from Kenya , lived on the second floor, and they, too, all perished in the fire.

Six LA, Hispanic, Gang-Banger, ex-cons, lived on the 3rd floor and they, too, died.

A lone, white couple lived on the top floor. The couple survived the fire.

Jesse Jackson, John Burris and Al Sharpton were furious. They flew into
LA and met with the fire chief, on camera. They loudly demanded to know
why the Blacks, Black Muslims and Hispanics all died in the fire and only
the white couple lived?

Education, or lack thereof

Photobucket

While perusing the local paper today, I came upon this interesting tidbit (August 29, 2009 in the archives)..seems that the oh-so-brilliant "professional educators" in the Brownsburg school district have decided that they will drastically cut back on the teaching of cursive writing in their grade schools. It isn't enough that the curriculum in the public schools systems has been "dumbed down" to the point where they are graduating functional illiterates so that little Johnny can't read, but they don't think Johnny really needs to be able to write, either. They will teach him to be able to write his name with a pen, but for the most part, they decided to concentrate on his being able to type instead.

I remember how much difficulty I had in learning cursive when I was in the second and third grade (sorry for being such a trial, Mrs. Biddle!), and I still have handwriting more worthy of a doctor's prescription pad than any sort of calligraphy in anyone's estimation; it was still a project worthy of the attempt, for the discipline it imposed if nothing else. This is just the latest example of the declining quality of a public school education ever since the Federal government became involved with public education with the founding of the Department of Education in 1980.

The DoE currently has 4,200 full time employees and an annual budget of $68.6 billion. I believe we as taxpayers have been totally remiss in demanding a decent return on our investment. Turning over our children's educations to the tender mercies of the NEA and other professional Teachers Unions has been an unmitigated disaster by any reasonable measure you could propose.

The NEA would have you believe it's because we aren't spending enough, yet expenditures have risen every year since the DoE was founded, and the end results have grown more dismal with every passing year. Those districts that spend the most, on the whole, tend to have the worst results by every accepted standard.

WE the PEOPLE need to get more involved with the process and DEMAND that REAL reforms be made, beginning with the abolishment of the National Department of Education. Control needs to be remanded back to the local level, where parents AND teachers can have more control over what is taught and how it is taught.

If the Brownsburg parents allow their school district to get away with not doing what they are paid to do, they are being remiss in their responsibilities to their children. IMHO They should fire the person(s) responsible for this idiotic decision and get people in those positions of power to actually effect real school reforms. They shouldn't have to fear the threat of a loss of federal funds because they refuse to follow the dictates of the latest fad in educational theory.

The old truism is that "them that pay get to make the rules" and the Federal government should never have gained the power to dictate to the local districts.
It's up to us to strip that power away and put it back in our own hands, where it belongs.

Got Kennedy Funeral Overload? Here's some relief from the fawning of the MSM

With all the hype honoring Ted Kennedy in the course of his death and funeral; it might behoove you to read A Sober Look at Ted Kennedy.

It's an investigative reporter's look into Sen. Kennedy's past that isn't tarnished by bias either pro or con; a "just the facts ma'am" treatise on a man. It was written by Michael Kelly after three months of reporting, thousands of pages of research, and over seventy interviews with everyone in Washington, from congressmen to waiters on Capitol Hill. It was written in 1990..just imagine the shenanigans that Teddy engaged in, SINCE that time, up to his death.

As a side note, Michael Kelly the first reporter killed in Iraq when his Humvee turned over in the course of a terrorist Dissatisfied Islamist attack man-made disastrous event in 2003.

And please, pass it along to your Liberal friends, it'll be fun to watch their heads explode with feigned fury/anguish.

Let the Jokes begin:

A man calls Kennedy’s office and asks for the senator. the receptionist says ” I’m sorry, Senator Kennedy is dead”. the man says thank you and hangs up.

The next day the man calls back, same thing, ” may i speak with the senator?”. ” I’m sorry sir, Senator Kennedy is dead.” ” thank you”.

On the third day he calls again and the receptionist recognizes his voice and asks why he keeps calling back, “the Senator is dead.” “I know”, he says ” I just haven’t gotten tired of hearing it.”

******************************************************************
Ted Kennedy has been sober for 12 hours now..

******************************************************************
What did Teddy tell Mary Jo when he found out she was pregnant?

"We’ll cross that bridge when we get to it."

******************************************************************

What’s the difference between Michael Jackson and Teddy Kennedy?
About 2 months of decay!

******************************************************************

Ted also had a plan to stimulate the Auto industry but his program was called “cash for kerplunkers”.

******************************************************************

The Kennedy family was spared the expense of embalming Teddy -- he'd done that himself over the last fifty years.

******************************************************************

I understand cremation was briefly considered as an option but rejected because of the fire/explosion hazard...

Kennedy

They are just about ready to contaminate Arlington National Cemetery with the bloated whale carcass formerly know as Ted"The Swimmer" Kennedy. (Yes, I know that as a veteran during time of war; and as having had the third longest tenure as a Senator in history he "qualifies" for the honor, but I still think it's a damned shame REAL heroes will have to try to maintain their eternal rest peaceful with the likes of Teddy in their midst)

Might I suggest the following as his dirge?:

And before you bleeding heart Liberal/Progressive Jackasses(but I repeat myself) excoriate me for "bad taste" in dealing with a death; I think Teddy would have enjoyed the dig...by all accounts, he was always asking if there were any new "Swimmer" jokes floating around (when he wasn't too busy keeping the Dewars distillery in business or harassing young women with his nephews, that is).

Family

Well, Beth's older brother, Bret, and three of his children just left from their little visit here at the Citadel. Beth hadn't seen her brother in ten years, so it was a great re-union and a chance to meet de nieces and da Nephew as real people and not the babies they were. They were returning from taking the oldest progeny, Courtney, to Dance College in Pittsburgh, Pa.

Jason had had his twelfth(?) birthday yesterday, so, we got some ice cream cake/muffins to have something to put some B-day candles in. And we had an set of Nerf guns that had been hidden in the closet to give him as a present.

I got to show off my Goldwing (something I don't have to be pushed to hard to do under any circumstances ! LOL ). I gave them all a short ride ( I think the youngest, Brittney, is a natural motorcyclist, she took to it like a duck to water...I thought she would be scared, but she actually stood up on the footplates to get more wind!). Jennifer, her older sis, was a natural passenger. I think she enjoyed the wind blowing through her hair almost as much as I do.
If you ever get the bug, Bret, let me know and I'll see what kind of a deal I can find for you.

The kittens we have residing in our garage were a big hit with the kids (too bad they are too young; I'd have loved to pawn a couple of them off to go back to Texas---(I'm SURE Melissa would have loved THAT!! LMAO).

I think a good time was had by all, and I would look forward to a visit from them any time they could get here; I hope they would feel the same way about returning.

If Jennifer sends me the pictures she took of the kittens and the bike, I'll try to post them. (hint, hint, nudge, nudge) J/k, Jen.
