&lt;div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color: red; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;CNN Tries To Whitewash Obama's Radical  Past&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: navy;"&gt;IBD Editorials.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: navy;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;As the president launches his re-election bid by  striking a more centrist tone, the partisan press is helping him whitewash his  radical past. Teamwork or not, it'll be hard to bleach.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;  &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: navy;"&gt;Exhibit A is CNN's Soledad O'Brien. Earlier this week,  she hosted a segment that tried to de-link Obama from Chicago socialist Saul  Alinsky. The late Alinsky is the father of community organizing and the author  of the far-left bible "Rules for Radicals."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: navy;"&gt;O'Brien opened her piece by scolding GOP front-runner  Newt Gingrich for warning Obama "will represent Saul Alinsky (and) European  socialism" in a second term. "President Obama has never said that he was  influenced by Alinsky," O'Brien insisted.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: navy;"&gt;Of course he hasn't. He's not stupid enough to  publicly link himself to a socialist. But the record is clear that he was in  fact influenced by Alinsky, if only CNN's "journalists" would do their homework.  Allow us to do it for them:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: navy;"&gt;• Obama first learned Alinsky's rules in the 1980s,  when Alinskyite radicals with the Chicago-based Alinsky group Gamaliel  Foundation recruited, hired, trained and paid him as a community organizer in  South Side Chicago. (Gamaliel's website expressly states it grew out of the  Alinsky movement.)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: navy;"&gt;• In 1988, Obama even wrote a chapter for the book  "After Alinsky: Community Organizing in Illinois," in which he lamented  organizers' "lack of power" in implementing change.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: navy;"&gt;• Gamaliel board member John McKnight, a hard-core  student of Alinsky, penned a letter for Obama to help him get into Harvard Law  School.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: navy;"&gt;• Obama took a break from his Harvard studies to  travel to Los Angeles for eight days of intense training at Alinsky's Industrial  Areas Foundation, a station of the cross for acolytes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: navy;"&gt;• In turn, he trained other community organizers in  Alinsky agitation tactics.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: navy;"&gt;• Obama also taught Alinsky's "Power Analysis" methods  at the University of Chicago.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: navy;"&gt;• During the presidential campaign, &lt;span style="background-color: yellow;"&gt;Obama hired one of his Gamaliel mentors, Mike  Kruglik, to train young campaign workers in Alinsky tactics at "Camp Obama," a  school set up at Obama headquarters in Chicago&lt;/span&gt;. The tactics helped Obama  capture the youth vote like no other president before him.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: navy;"&gt;• Power would no longer be an issue, as Obama  infiltrated the highest echelon of the political establishment — the White House  — fulfilling Alinsky's vision of a new "vanguard" of coat-and-tie radicals who  "work inside the system" to change the system.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: navy;"&gt;• After the election, his other Gamaliel mentor, Jerry  Kellman (who hired him and whose identity Obama disguised in his memoir), &lt;span style="background-color: yellow;"&gt;helped the Obama administration establish  Organizing for America, which mobilizes young supporters to agitate for Obama's  legislative agenda using "Rules for Radicals&lt;/span&gt;."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: navy;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: yellow;"&gt;• Obama's  favorite rule is No. 13: "Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it and  polarize it." You see that in his attacks on "fat cat bankers," "greedy health  insurers" and "millionaires and billionaires." He also readily applies Alinsky's  fifth rule of "ridiculing" the opposition&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: navy;"&gt;"Obama learned his lesson well," said David Alinsky,  son of the late socialist. "I am proud to see that my father's model for  organizing is being applied successfully beyond local community  organizing."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: navy;"&gt;Bizarrely, O'Brien was more than willing to connect  Alinsky with the Tea Party, without citing a shred of real evidence to back up  the silly claim. The CNN anchor closed her segment by saying she would pin  Gingrich down on his supposedly misleading claims. "We will be sure to ask the  former speaker the next time we get a chance to talk to him about that," she  said.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: navy;"&gt;Wouldn't it make more sense to just ask Obama? You  know, "Mr. President, have you ever read Alinsky's 'Rules for Radicals'"? Or  "Have your ever trained at organizations founded by Alinsky?"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: navy;"&gt;Is she really this clueless? Or is she covering for  Obama? Either way, it does not reflect well on a journalist of her stature and  influence.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: navy;"&gt;It's plain CNN plans to gloss over the president's  radical past in this campaign, just like it did in  2008.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3271022348837921425-2027906268515738422?l=thesteadydrip.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thesteadydrip.blogspot.com/feeds/2027906268515738422/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3271022348837921425&amp;postID=2027906268515738422' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3271022348837921425/posts/default/2027906268515738422'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3271022348837921425/posts/default/2027906268515738422'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thesteadydrip.blogspot.com/2012/01/cnn-tries-to-whitewash-obamas-radical.html' title='CNN Tries To Whitewash Obama&apos;s Radical Past'/><author><name>Sam Sewell</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-lIarHrrlRdM/TZ2ApAjDuNI/AAAAAAAABGo/C00D_T8I5jM/s220/Imported%2BPhotos%2B00014.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271022348837921425.post-8836260012699282152</id><published>2012-01-28T01:40:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2012-01-28T01:40:25.623-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Why Isn't Orly mentioned? - GEORGIA JUDGE CONSIDERED 'DEFAULT' AGAINST OBAMA</title><content type='html'>&lt;h1 style="margin-bottom: .0001pt;

The day had its ups and downs and ins and outs and Article II, Section 1.5 Constitutionalist, also known as “birthers,” “racists,” “wing-nuts” and “fringe” were holding our collective breaths and praying like never before.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding-bottom: 15px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.westernjournalism.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/georgia-obama-eligibility.bmp" style="color: #2780c7; text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;img alt="georgia obama eligibility What Really Happened in a Georgia Courtroom on January 26, 2012?" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-31492" src="http://www.westernjournalism.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/georgia-obama-eligibility.bmp" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(238, 238, 238); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 4px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-color: rgb(238, 238, 238); border-left-style: solid; border-left-width: 4px; border-right-color: rgb(238, 238, 238); border-right-style: solid; border-right-width: 4px; border-top-color: rgb(238, 238, 238); border-top-style: solid; border-top-width: 4px; border-width: initial; display: block; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 0px; max-width: none; padding-bottom: 1px; padding-left: 1px; padding-right: 1px; padding-top: 1px;" title="georgia-obama-eligibility- courtoom" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding-bottom: 15px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none;"&gt;The day actually began much earlier when, for the first time in over three years, a judge had agreed to hear a lawsuit that would require Barack Obama, leader of the free world and most powerful man on earth, to appear in a Georgia courtroom. This time it was not a federal case as in many challenges brought by attorney Orly Taitz and others, but instead, an administrative judge for the state of Georgia would hear the case. Judge Michael Malihi scheduled the hearing and issued subpoenas. Obama’s Atlanta lawyer, Michael Jablonski, quickly issued a Motion to Dismiss. Of course we expected this. Obama’s dream team of Perkins Coie and his stable of attorneys across the United States and under the auspices of Eric Holder’s DOJ and Elena Kagan, Obama’s pre-election counsel and now sitting Supreme Court Justice would come down on Orly Taitz like an iron fist. But on January 3, their Motion to Dismiss was DENIED.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding-bottom: 15px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none;"&gt;This was big. Would we really have our day in court? It was almost too good to be true. Dozens of lawsuits over Obama’s eligibility had been dismissed for “lack of standing,” “wrong jurisdiction” or “procedural errors.” But this time a judge actually moved our case forward because he read the Georgia law correctly in that it explicitly gives Georgia residents the right to challenge candidates wanting to be on the state ballot.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding-bottom: 15px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none;"&gt;We blogged, we called, we emailed and got the word out to as many people as we could. We anxiously monitored the mainstream news but again, nothing except a small mention on FOX Brett Baier’s “Grapevine,” where he tossed in the “birther” epithet meant to discredit us. We were used to that. The lawsuit moved forward.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding-bottom: 15px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none;"&gt;Obama’s lawyer, Jablonski, spoke to reporters saying the lawsuit would be dismissed just as every challenge has been defeated and Obama would not be going to Georgia. Of course the traditional media carried his story to the ends of the earth. But we moved on Orly would line up her witnesses and arrange to pay their way to Georgia. We had Susan Daniels who discovered Obama’s stolen identity in a CT social security number and experts on Adobe and a former INS agent. All these witnesses had overwhelming evidence of fraud and forgery. The copy of Obama’s birth certificate posted on the White House website confirmed that Obama is not natural born as required in the Constitution. Early on Wednesday, we learned that Leo Donofrio, renown authority on the Constitution and federalist papers, had filed a 200 page Amicus (friend of the court) Brief which joined the documented evidence irrefutably proving that Obama is not a natural-born Citizen and even his status of “native born Citizen” is questionable because of the suspected birth document forgery.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding-bottom: 15px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none;"&gt;Within hours, Orly Taitz and the attorneys for the plaintiffs in two other lawsuits that had been consolidated were copied on a letter from Obama’s Atlanta attorney, Jablonski. The&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.westernjournalism.com/a-letter-from-obamas-sleazy-attorney-in-atlanta/" style="color: #2780c7; text-decoration: none;" title="A Letter From Obama’s Sleazy Attorney In Atlanta"&gt;letter&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;was sent to Georgia Secretary of State, Brian P. Kemp to stop the hearing. It came at approximately 3:00pm but by five o’clock, SOS Kemp&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.westernjournalism.com/brian-kemp-to-barack-obamas-attorney-skip-ballot-hearing-at-your-own-peril/" style="color: #2780c7; text-decoration: none;" title="Brian Kemp To Barack Obama’s Attorney: Skip Ballot Hearing ‘at Your Own Peril’"&gt;responded to Jablonski rejecting the request&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and stated it would not be judicious given the hearing is set for the next morning. He added, “…if you and your client choose to suspend your participation in the OSAH proceedings, please understand that you do so at your own peril.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding-bottom: 15px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none;"&gt;About the same time I was working diligently to get the latest news out to my contacts including posting the information on Facebook, I got a comment and link to Leo Donofrio’s&lt;a href="http://naturalborncitizen.wordpress.com/" style="color: #2780c7; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank" title="Natural Born Citizen"&gt;naturalborncitizen&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;blog. The news was stunning. Leo was alerted to information in the government’s own INS/ICE handbook delineating a distinct difference in “natural-born citizen” and “native-born” citizen. I scrambled. Did my Birther Summit team know about this? I painstakingly emailed the information to my 500 or so contacts and posted on Facebook. It was too let to get it into the court records but it didn’t matter. Our case was air-tight as it was.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding-bottom: 15px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none;"&gt;It had been a long day and I began receiving emails from friends and supporters saying they would look for me in the live-stream video provided by The&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.birthersummit.org/" style="color: #2780c7; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank" title="Birther Summit"&gt;Birther Summit&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://art2superpac.com/" style="color: #2780c7; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank" title="Article 2 Super Pac"&gt;Art2superPAC&lt;/a&gt;sites. I didn’t have the energy to tell them I wasn’t going to Atlanta. I could not afford to go but it was nice so many people really thought I would be there. This is what we all worked so hard for.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding-bottom: 15px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none;"&gt;There was so much traffic on the live video feeds and many of us had long periods of blackouts but I did see Orly and the other attorneys leave to go with the judge to his chambers. What really happened yesterday was the judge decided to award a&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.westernjournalism.com/results-obama-eligibility-hearing-georgia/" style="color: #2780c7; text-decoration: none;" title="Results Of Obama’s Eligibility Hearing In Georgia"&gt;DEFAULT JUDGEMENT&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;to the plaintiff’s since the defendant didn’t show up. But an abbreviated hearing took place. The first two cases were heard and Orly presented her witnesses and argued her case and the evidence all went into the record.

One witness produced 181 pages of documents obtained through a Freedom of Information request to the U.S. Immigrations service that show that Obama's father was never a U.S. citizen.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-attachment: initial;

Judge Malihi talked to the  attorneys in chambers before the hearing this morning and told them that he was  going to enter a DEFAULT JUDGMENT against Obama and recommend that Obama's name  not be on the Georgia ballot! Alll the attorneys expressed a desire to put an  abbreviated streamlined case on the record and the judge agreed. How does the  mainstream media spin this? The Georgia SOS has already indicated that he will  follow the judge's recommendation. Obama will not&amp;nbsp; get any popular vote or  electors from the great state of Georgia!

They are still a useful tool to help you understand how the DHS Bureaus performs their different immigration services and enforcement functions. Users of the Operation Instructions and Interpretations should always consult the relevant regulations and manuals in conjunction with these materials.

overflow-y: auto; position: relative;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; In a &lt;em&gt;Washington Times&lt;/em&gt; column Monday,  "Obama Ignoring the Constitution," ABA President William T. Robinson III focuses  on Obama's flagrant use of signing statements.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "His use of a signing statement to  ignore the clear intent of Congress runs counter to the constitutional  obligation he has to 'take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed.' That is  not to say that Mr. Obama is obligated to accede to every whim of Congress.  Rather, this President—like every other President who objects to language in  legislation enrolled by Congress—should exercise the wholly constitutional  authority he has to veto a bill....&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="yui_3_2_0_1_1327424933356116"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;  "Article I of the Constitution unequivocally reserves to Congress alone the  power to make law. Where a signing statement is used to nullify a component of a  law, the President is in each instance unilaterally usurping the exclusive power  of the legislative branch by denying Congress the opportunity to override a veto  of that law and may be abrogating the power of the judicial branch to make a  determination of constitutionality.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "Clearly, the original intent of  the &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1327424962_2"&gt;framers of the Constitution&lt;/span&gt;  was to give the President the choice of signing or vetoing a bill passed by  Congress—in its entirety. In many ways, a signing statement resembles and is  effectively a 'line-item veto,' which the Supreme Court definitively ruled to be  unconstitutional in 1998. Writing in concurrence with the decision in that case,  Justice Anthony M. Kennedy warned that 'increasing the power of the President  beyond what the Framers envisioned ... compromises the political liberty of our  citizens, liberty which the separation of powers seeks to secure.'

That was a long time ago. No longer.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times;"&gt;Today the "liberal" faith requires an extraordinary act of ignorance, purposeful forgetting, and constant spinning. To be a faithful "liberal" today you have to forget the whole 20th century, and its 100 million victims of the radical left -- that is, victims of Obama's brand of leftism. You have to shut out of your mind the fact that Obama hails from today's Chicago Machine, the most storied and undemocratic political machine since Boss Tweed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times;"&gt;You have to ignore the bloody history of black nationalism in America, where Obama's hero Malcolm X was assassinated by the followers of Elijah Muhammed. You have to ignore the racial blackmail that has controlled American politics since the rise of the post-MLK "civil rights" movement, when all the heroic actions of a few civil rights campaigners like Martin Luther King, Jr., was taken over by dangerous racial demagogues like Rev. Al, the Rev. Wright and the radical left.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times;"&gt;All those facts have to be sunk into your capacious black hole of memory, along with the history of the Soviet Union and its 100 million helpless victims. The Nazis only had 13 years to kill six million Jews, and even more Gypsies, homosexuals, Poles, democratic Germans, and of course, the religious. The Soviets and Chinese had seventy years or longer, and killed correspondingly more millions of victims with the same style of sociopathic control freakery. &amp;nbsp;North Korea is the biggest Communist museum piece today, but nobody on the liberal side seems to take any responsibility for it -- just as they deny their alliance with Muslim fascists all over the world, who are agitating for another century of mass murder.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times;"&gt;As Michael Ledeen recently pointed out, the Hitler-Stalin alliance is alive today, only the names have changed. It's now called Left-Islamofascism. The same old murderous alliance under a new label.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times;"&gt;If you are a self-labeled "liberal" today, you own that history; therefore you must deny and evade it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times;"&gt;After watching "modern" liberals&amp;nbsp; for a couple of decades, I've come to suspect that their viciousness (what we see in the media and the left every single day) is a result of deep and abiding guilt. Because at least the "liberal" leadership cannot be as ignorant of their own history as they pretend. The brainwashed masses may be completely ignorant, but nobody can be as ignorant of history as Obama pretends to be.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times;"&gt;Obama grew up on the Stalinist left, all the way from his childhood in post-bloodbath Indonesia to his adulthood in Chicago politics; Michelle is the daughter of a Chicago ward boss; Bill Ayers, their good friend and political enabler, knows all the bloody history of Communism in detail, and glories in it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times;"&gt;These people cannot be ignorant of the 20th century.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times;"&gt;A deep guilt has to be gnawing liberals today, the ones who are not innate sociopaths. When media creatures like Bill Maher peddle hatred disguised as humor, there are only two possibilities: Either Maher is ultimately cynical, and therefore a sociopath (a person without conscience); or he and his cult manage every single day to stave off the moral implications of their heroes -- Karl Marx, but also intellectual Nazis like Martin Heidegger -- by raging at the rest of us.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times;"&gt;They are deeply troubled people, and they can only live with themselves by ranting at good and decent, normal people. Michael Moore has to think of a new and more vicious slander to throw at us, to keep down his own knowledge of irredeemable guilt.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times;"&gt;There is no moral difference between the radical left and the Nazis, and they must know that elementary fact from Politics 101.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times;"&gt;Which brings me back to my title. Liberalism used to mean the love of political freedom. &amp;nbsp;Real liberals used to read Locke, Mill, Voltaire, the Founders, the political wisdom of the Western Enlightenment. Today self-labeled 'liberals' love mass murderers and those who justify mass murder: Karl Marx, the post-modern 'philosophers', the totalitarian left, Thomas Friedman, the New York Times and Islamic fascism. Like any utopian cult, these pseudo-liberals justify it all, not by the horrors of the past (which cannot be justified at all) but by some dream image of the future. The&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;next&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;time they'll get it right! Because they have good intentions, you see.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times;"&gt;Obama helped to bring down the (relatively) moderate regimes of the Arab world and thereby unleashed a New Dark Age reaction from Yemen to Tunisia. Tens of thousands of people have been killed in the sadistically mislabeled "Arab Spring," according to StrategyPage.com. The whole Arab Spring scam is frightful, a great disaster, far more murderous than the propaganda scam of the Palestinian "Nakba," the disaster of losing Jerusalem to the infidels (who are Jews and Christians who freely allow Arabs to run their own holy places there).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times;"&gt;The Arab Spring is the real Nakba. Not just because tens of thousands of Arabs are being killed every day in Syria, Egypt, Yemen, Somalia, and elsewhere. But also because the Arab world is living in daily dread of Iranian nuclear weapons. The Saudis have no greater enemies than the militant Shiite regime of Iran. Ayatollah Khomeini hated the Saudi Sunnis, and tried to overthrow them as usurpers of the holy places of Mecca and Medina. Every Sunni Muslim in the world knows that history. The Arab Spring -- so-called -- has therefore exposed all the stable Arab regimes to lethal danger.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times;"&gt;That is why Niall Ferguson, the Harvard historian, recently warned that capital flight from the Arab world meant an inevitable breakdown of the economies of Egypt and Syria. People are beginning to suffer from starvation and civil breakdown in the Arab world. That is why the Prime Minister of Egypt broke down in tears at a recent press conference.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times;"&gt;Obama hasn't done real Muslims any favors with all the hoopla about a non-existent "Arab Spring." Instead, he has forged another alliance between the atheistic left and the medieval Muslims of Iran, Turkey and the Arab world. That is what "liberalism" has come to mean; it is the polar opposite of real liberalism. John F. Kennedy, Hubert Humphrey, and even LBJ and FDR would be running against Obama if they were living today.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times;"&gt;As Obama reportedly told Hillary in a yelling, screaming fight at the White House when he repeatedly demanded&lt;em&gt;&amp;nbsp;in public&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp; that President Hosni Mubarak must step down, it was all for a good cause, because all real revolutions are "organic." The President of Arugula does not know much about organic, but in this case it seems to mean that the Muslim fascists who are even now beating and bloodying half a billion women and girls in their homes, to keep them voting rock-solid for the Muslim Brotherhood, are "organic." They are "real." &amp;nbsp;Islamic moderates and modernists who brought a century of near-democracy to Turkey and Iran are just foreign infections, according to Obama's perverse reading of history. This is ideological madness. It is not "empathy," as Obama told a self-satisfied roomful of San Francisco liberals at the beginning of his 2008 campaign. It is sadism, if anything. Only a Third World ideologue of the Jerry Wright variety could believe that making things worse is going to make them better.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times;"&gt;If you're a liberal today, you've somehow ended up on the wrong side of history. That is a vast cultural disaster, but much more for victim nations than it is for the self-preening West. Twisting liberalism into a pretzel is a feat of mis-education and propaganda the likes of which we have not seen since the rise of mass electronic media.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times;"&gt;Most "liberals" today do not believe in freedom, but support tyranny. That inversion of history has been accomplished by mass propaganda. If you doubt that, just ask your nearest friendly liberal what they think about "fundamentalist Christians." It's a hot button that will set of a flood of rage, all due to the leftwing media propaganda. &amp;nbsp;Just try it on your family and friends. &amp;nbsp;It shocks me every time I see it, because it has absolutely no basis in reality. &amp;nbsp;Liberal hatred of believing Christians comes to you courtesy of the mass fantasy machine. &amp;nbsp;(American Abolitionism, which led to the Civil War, was a created by believing Christians. &amp;nbsp;Just listen to the words of the Battle Hymn of the Republic.)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times;"&gt;I see smart and educated people clinging to a wrecked belief system&amp;nbsp; like that Italian tourist ship that just flipped on its side. The genuine liberalism of Harry Truman, JFK, and Walter Lippmann is dead as a doornail. Instead we have the left radicalism of Obama, who grew up on the hard, hard Stalinist left. &amp;nbsp;Obama is&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;called&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;a liberal, but he is an authoritarian anti-Constitutionalist with major totalitarian tendencies. Obama is certainly not a Cold War liberal like JFK, Hubert Humphrey, LBJ. If the Cold War were raging today Obama would be pro-Soviet.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;We do not have a real "civil rights" movement any more. We have a Civil Revenge movement, as the great comic talk radio host Ken Hamblin has said so well. Hamblin made "The Black Avenger" his standing joke, along with his free "Certificate of Absolution" for any whites obsessed with racial guilt from the Civil War (1861 to 1865, when 600,000 mostly white folks died fighting over slavery and a united America).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times;"&gt;The Civil War is 150 years old. The Civil Rights laws were passed in the 1960s, long before the current brainwashed generation of "liberals" came of age.&amp;nbsp; Those old resentments are just kept alive to keep demagogues in power.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times;"&gt;Today the Axelrod mobs of the OWS movement are totally ignorant, like the peasants in Czarist Russia. They just riot because they are told to. Just ask them a question, any question, about politics and reality. They don't know a thing because they have been kept dumb and obedient. They are educated ignorami.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times;"&gt;Liberalism is dead. The radical left has killed it. Then the left stole its good name.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times;"&gt;That is a very sad fact. But it's even worse to fall for the leftist media scam.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times;"&gt;We don't have many liberals left. The New Republic is fighting a rearguard action, and there are a few genuine liberals of good will, who keep hoping the Democratic Party will change. Fat chance. The "liberals" today are the wishful totalitarians of yesterday.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times;"&gt;Obama is not a liberal. We have no liberals in positions of power or prominence any more.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times;"&gt;Any time the radical power class uses that word "liberal," the sane people of this country should scream at their computer screens. Don't fall for it. It's a lie.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Page Printed from: http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/../2012/01/on_the_intellectual_inferiority_of_liberalism.html&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;ALSO:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia; font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://thesteadydrip.blogspot.com/2011/10/liberalism-destroys-families-and.html" title="http://thesteadydrip.blogspot.com/2011/10/liberalism-destroys-families-and.html"&gt;Liberalism Destroys Families and Nations&lt;/a&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: navy; font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://thesteadydrip.blogspot.com/2011/10/liberalism-destroys-families-and.html" title="http://thesteadydrip.blogspot.com/2011/10/liberalism-destroys-families-and.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"&gt;http://thesteadydrip.blogspot.com/2011/10/liberalism-destroys-families-and.html&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 13pt;"&gt;The stated agenda of the left includes destroying the American family and undermining the values of our culture.

no matter what religion they belong to.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times;"&gt;That poll watchers who want to ensure that election laws are observed and the

style="color: #494949; font-family: Verdana; mso-ansi-language: EN;"&gt;Allen Roses, worldwide vice-president of genetics at GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), the world's 2nd largest drug manufacturer, said fewer than half of the patients prescribed drugs actually derived any benefit from them. It is an open secret within the drugs industry that most of its products are ineffective in most patients but this is the first time that such a senior pharmaceutical executive has gone public.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 16.5pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 16.5pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN" style="color: #494949; font-family: Verdana; mso-ansi-language: EN;"&gt;Dr Roses spoke at a recent scientific meeting in&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:city w:st="on"&gt;London&lt;/st1:city&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;where he cited figures on how well different classes of drugs work in real patients. Drugs for Alzheimer's disease work in fewer than 30% of patients, whereas those for cancer are only effective in 25% of patients. Drugs for migraines, for osteoporosis, and arthritis work in about 50% of the patients. Lipitor, the world’s largest selling drug rarely works in women and the elderly, the two groups that are prescribed it the most. "Most drugs work in fewer than one in two patients mainly because the recipients carry genes that interfere in some way with the medicine," he said.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 16.5pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 16.5pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN" style="color: #494949; font-family: Verdana; mso-ansi-language: EN;"&gt;"The vast majority of drugs - more than 90 per cent - only work in 30 or 50 per cent of the people," Dr Roses said. "I wouldn't say that most drugs don't work. I would say that most drugs work in 30 to 50 per cent of people."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 16.5pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 16.5pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 16.5pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 16.5pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN" style="color: #494949; font-family: Verdana; mso-ansi-language: EN;"&gt;According to recent surveys, 4 out of 5 Americans – 80% of our population – take at least one medication each week. Men and women age 65 to 75 take an average of 6 medications per week and among those over age 75, the average is 11 medications per week. If you’re helping to look after elderly parents, those numbers probably don’t surprise you.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 16.5pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 16.5pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN" style="color: #494949; font-family: Verdana; mso-ansi-language: EN;"&gt;In general, the use of prescription drugs increases 9-10% a year. That means that within 3 years, the average American will take at least one medication each week.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 16.5pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 16.5pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN" style="color: #494949; font-family: Verdana; mso-ansi-language: EN;"&gt;I don’t believe that any of us is born with a drug deficiency, nor do we acquire one later on in life. We all have an innate Life Force that is capable of doing amazing things &lt;b&gt;when given the right conditions, nutrients, and opportunity to do so. &lt;/b&gt;With the right approach, most people can &lt;b&gt;eliminate &lt;/b&gt;high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, excess weight, migraines, arthritis, and fatigue, just to name a few.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 16.5pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 16.5pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN" style="color: #494949; font-family: Verdana; mso-ansi-language: EN;"&gt;When you give up personal responsibility for your health, you pay a high price.

Presently, it appears his administration has little fear of reprisal as the mainstream media continues to ignore the case.&amp;nbsp; The White House has indicated the president will be&amp;nbsp;campaigning&amp;nbsp;in&amp;nbsp;Las Vegas&amp;nbsp;and Denver next Thursday.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; It will be interesting to see what Judge Malihi does following Barack Obama’s violation of&amp;nbsp;a legally issued subpoena.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3271022348837921425-5851112024558406860?l=thesteadydrip.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thesteadydrip.blogspot.com/feeds/5851112024558406860/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3271022348837921425&amp;postID=5851112024558406860' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3271022348837921425/posts/default/5851112024558406860'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3271022348837921425/posts/default/5851112024558406860'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thesteadydrip.blogspot.com/2012/01/obama-to-ignore-judges-ruling-to-appear.html' title='Obama To Ignore Judge’s Ruling To Appear In Court'/><author><name>Sam Sewell</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-lIarHrrlRdM/TZ2ApAjDuNI/AAAAAAAABGo/C00D_T8I5jM/s220/Imported%2BPhotos%2B00014.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Liy8uMJ_aKw/Tx3mMQ6DFzI/AAAAAAAABXE/7UD87DUYv_g/s72-c/KingObama+%25281%2529.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271022348837921425.post-9196568808059431219</id><published>2012-01-23T14:22:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2012-01-23T14:22:09.457-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Its a really hot January  in Georgia</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana;

font-size: 10pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This morning, I filed an AMICUS BRIEF in the Georgia POTUS eligibility &lt;a href="http://www.examiner.com/crime-in-phoenix/obama-eligibility-challenges-to-move-forward-georgia" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;b&gt;cases&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. The brief complies with all &lt;a href="http://www.osah.ga.gov/documents/procedures/administrative-rules-osah.pdf" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Rules&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and procedures of the Administrative Court. The brief is 54 pages, and the appendix is 155 pages. The Rules of Court require attachment to the brief of all legal authorities, other than those issued by the federal government, or the State of Georgia. There’s some very esoteric law attached thereto.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I seriously urge everyone to familiarize themselves with Lord Coke’s Report from Calvin’s Case, as well as Chancellor Ellesmere’s argument, also in Calvin’s Case, for this is the true common law genesis of jus soli subjection, which happens to be a uniquely Christian tenet of law that has been completely misunderstood in this country for too long now. Calvin’s Case is universally recognized as the common law precedent relating to jus soli, but it is so much more fascinating than you can imagine. And it will forever revolutionize understanding of the words “natural-born”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This &lt;a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=2vc8UQII-jsC&amp;amp;pg=PA611&amp;amp;lpg=PA611&amp;amp;dq=%22moore%27s+reports%22+pg.+790&amp;amp;source=bl&amp;amp;ots=KsNrQDi66g&amp;amp;sig=D6jnIl59EotQtL_8uwsL0GOU-QI&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;ei=M73GTpPwLOPb0QHgh63_Dw&amp;amp;sa=X&amp;amp;oi=book_result&amp;amp;ct=result&amp;amp;resnum=3&amp;amp;ved=0CCcQ6AEwAg#v=onepage&amp;amp;q=%22moore%27s%20reports%22%20pg.%20790&amp;amp;f=false" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;b&gt;book&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt; contains all of the relevant arguments and reports. But the original text of Lord Coke’s &lt;a href="http://www.uniset.ca/naty/maternity/77ER377.htm" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Report&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt; is the proper starting point. (This document is also in the appendix to my brief.) And here’s another &lt;a href="http://oll.libertyfund.org/?option=com_staticxt&amp;amp;staticfile=show.php%3Ftitle=911&amp;amp;chapter=106337&amp;amp;layout=html&amp;amp;Itemid=27" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;b&gt;source&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

 reported:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Pope Benedict XVI warned  today of a “grave threat” to religious liberty in the United States that  requires American Catholics to respond with intelligence and  courage.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;“It is imperative that  the entire Catholic community in the United States come to realize the grave  threats to the Church’s public moral witness presented by a radical secularism  which finds increasing expression in the political and cultural spheres,” he  said Jan. 19 in an address to a group of American bishops visiting the  Vatican.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;The Pope said he was  particularly concerned with “certain attempts being made to limit that most  cherished of American freedoms, the freedom of religion.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Pope Benedict’s address  was delivered to the bishops from the Mid-Atlantic states region, which includes  the Archdioceses of Washington and Baltimore. They are in Rome this week on  their regular “ad limina” visit to discuss the health of the U.S. Church with  the Pope and Vatican officials. The two bishops from the Archdiocese for the  U.S. Military Services are also participating in the meetings.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Pope Benedict said that  over the past few days many of the bishops have expressed concern over attempts  in the U.S. to “deny the right of conscientious objection on the part of  Catholic individuals and institutions with regard to cooperation in  intrinsically evil practices.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Meanwhile, other bishops  raised the “worrying tendency to reduce religious freedom to mere freedom of  worship” without guarantees of respect for freedom of conscience.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;At present, the Obama  administration is considering imposing a contraception and sterilization mandate  that would require all insurance companies to provide those services free of  charge. The regulation has a religious exemption clause, but it provides very  few exceptions for Church organizations.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="float: right; text-align: right;

He has even gone as far as to take the unabashed position that most people who question Obama’s “natural born Citizen” status are racists. To date, he has made no apologies for his outlandish position.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At his blog,&lt;a href="http://www.obamaconspiracy.org/2012/01/mcclellans-citizenship/" style="color: #336699;"&gt;http://www.obamaconspiracy.org/2012/01/mcclellans-citizenship/&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;, Dr. Conspiracy has posted a story published in The Boston Globe on November 9, 1903, entitled “McClellan’s Citizenship. Question of Eligibility for Presidency.” The story can be read at&lt;a href="http://www.obamaconspiracy.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/McClellan.pdf" style="color: #336699;"&gt;http://www.obamaconspiracy.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/McClellan.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;.&amp;nbsp; The story is about whether George B. McClellan, then newly-elected Mayor of New York City, but who was born in Europe to U.S. citizen parents (his father was Civil War General McClellan), was a “natural born Citizen” and therefore eligible to be President. By looking at his picture posted by Dr. Conspiracy, Colonel McClellan was surely white, but yet American citizens raised the question of whether he was a “natural born Citizen.” Note that Dr. Conspiracy does not tell us that even though McClellan was white (and so was John McCain and George Romney who were also challenged), he was challenged by presumably other whites on his eligibility to be President. So I guess that it is after all possible to challenge a political candidate on his eligibility for a particular office without being motivated by race.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One lawyer at the end of the article, Edmund A. Whitman of the law firm Elder &amp;amp; Whitman, even said that the issue of whether McClellan was a “natural born Citizen” was “too trivial to bother discussing.” I guess they also had Obots in 1903.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, Dr. Conspiracy touts the opinion of the Boston lawyers who in the article maintained that McClellan was a “natural born Citizen” and that there was no mention by them of the need for a “natural born Citizen” to be born to citizen parents.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First, McClellan was born to U.S. citizen parents. So I do not understand why Dr. Conspiracy would expect the citizenship of McClellan’s parents to be an issue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Second, the issue was whether one has to be “native born” in order to be a “natural born Citizen.” The way the lawyers treated that issue, it meant whether being born in the United States was a necessary element of being a “natural born Citizen.” That someone satisfies a necessary element of a definition does not equate to having satisfied all necessary elements of the definition.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Third, most of the lawyers who concluded that McClellan was a “natural born Citizen” said he was so because under the Constitution there are only “natural born Citizens” and naturalized citizens, and since McClellan was not a naturalized citizen, he must&amp;nbsp;necessarily be a “natural born Citizen.” Yet, Dr. Conspiracy makes no mention of the fact that none of those lawyers even cited and quote from let alone addressed United States v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 U.S. 649 (1898), which clearly stated just five years earlier that, with citizenship not descending from parents but only given by statute to the children born out of the United States to citizen parents, children born out of the United States to U.S. citizen parents are naturalized “at birth.” Additionally, U.S. v. Wong Kim Ark 169 U.S. 649 (1898) and Rogers v. Bellei, 401 U.S. 815 (1971), both considered persons born abroad to U.S. citizen parents to be naturalized “at birth.” The dissenting opinion of Justice Black in Rogers v. Bellei, 401 U.S. 815, 839-44 (1971), further elucidates the point of one being naturalized “at birth.” There he stated:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A person born out of the jurisdiction of the United States can only become a citizen by being naturalized, either by treaty, as in the case of the annexation of foreign territory; or by authority of Congress, exercised either by declaring certain classes of persons to be citizens, as in the enactments conferring citizenship upon foreign-born children of citizens, or by enabling foreigners individually to become citizens by proceedings in the judicial tribunals, as in the ordinary provisions of the naturalization acts." 169 U. S., at 702-703.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Court in Wong Kim Ark thus stated a broad and comprehensive definition of naturalization. As shown in Wong Kim Ark, naturalization when used in its constitutional sense is a generic term describing and including within its meaning all those modes of acquiring American citizenship other than birth in this country. All means of obtaining American citizenship which are dependent upon a congressional enactment are forms of naturalization. This inclusive definition has been adopted in several opinions of this Court besides United States v. Wong Kim Ark, supra. Thus in Minor v. Happersett, 21 Wall. 162, 167 (1875), the Court said: "Additions might always be made to the citizenship of the United States in two ways: first, by birth, and second, by naturalization. . . . [N]ew citizens may be born or they may be created by naturalization." And in Elk v. Wilkins, 112 U. S. 94 (1884), the Court took the position that the Fourteenth Amendment "contemplates two sources of citizenship, and two sources only: birth and naturalization. . . . Persons&amp;nbsp;not . . . subject to the jurisdiction of the United States at the time of birth cannot become so afterwards, except by being naturalized, either individually, as by proceedings under the naturalization acts, or collectively, as by the force of a treaty by which foreign territory is acquired." 112 U. S., at 101-102.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Moreover, this concept of naturalization is the only one permitted by this Court's consistent adoption of the view that the Fourteenth Amendment was intended to supply a comprehensive definition of American citizenship. In an opinion written shortly after the Fourteenth Amendment was ratified, the Court stated that one of the primary purposes of the Citizenship Clause was "to establish a clear and comprehensive definition of citizenship which should declare what should constitute citizenship of the United States, and also citizenship of a State." Slaughter-House Cases, 16 Wall. 36, 73 (1873). In his study, The Adoption of the Fourteenth Amendment, Professor Flack similarly concluded that the Citizenship Clause "put beyond doubt and cavil in the original law, who were citizens of the United States." H. Flack, The Adoption of the Fourteenth Amendment 89 (1908). And in Afroyim both majority and dissenting Justices appear to have agreed on the basic proposition that the scope of the Citizenship Clause, whatever its effect, did reach all citizens. The opinion of the Court in Afroyim described the Citizenship Clause as "calculated completely to control the status of citizenship." 387 U. S., at 262. And the dissenting Justices agreed with this proposition to the extent of holding that the Citizenship Clause was a "declaration of the classes of individuals to whom citizenship initially attaches." Id., at 292.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Id. at 840-44.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, according to Wong Kim Ark, McClellan would have been a naturalized citizen. It would then follow a fortiori from Wong Kim Ark that being a naturalized citizen, he could not be a “natural born Citizen.” But we do not see any mention of any of that by those lawyers or Dr. Conspiracy. I do not know any of the political affiliations of any of the Boston lawyers interviewed for the story nor do I have the desire to go looking it up. But I guess it must have been politics as usual also in 1903.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the disqualifying effect of being naturalized “at birth” not only disqualified McClellan, but also disqualifies Obama. Because Obama was not born to citizen parents, assuming he was born in Hawaii, he has to rely on the Fourteenth Amendment or 8 U.S.C. Sec. 1401(a) to be a “citizen of the United States.” First, that amendment and statute do not provide anyone with the status of a “natural born Citizen,” which status is only obtained by satisfying the American “common-law” definition of the clause as confirmed by Minor v. Happersett, 88 U.S. 162, 167-68 (1875), which, after analyzing American citizenship at length, held:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The Constitution does not, in words, say who shall be natural-born citizens. Resort must be had elsewhere to ascertain that. At common-law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives, or natural- born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners. Some authorities go further and include as citizens children born within the jurisdiction without reference to the citizenship of their [88 U.S. 162, 168] parents. As to this class there have been doubts, but never as to the first. For the purposes of this case it is not necessary to solve these doubts. It is sufficient for everything we have now to consider that all children born of citizen parents within the jurisdiction are themselves citizens."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Id. at 168. As we see, only a child born “in a country of parents who were its citizens themselves” can be a “natural-born citizen.” So like Lord Coke in Calvin’s Case (1608), who naturalized Calvin “at birth” to be an English “natural born subject,” Wong Kim Ark in effect naturalized Wong “at birth” to be a Fourteenth Amendment “citizen of the United States.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Second, because&amp;nbsp;Obama needs either the Fourteenth Amendment or statute to remove the alienage with which he was born by being born to a non-U.S. citizen father, he is in effect at best a naturalized citizen “at birth,” who automatically becomes a “citizen of the United States” and needs no further naturalization after birth. But the Founders and Framers, as they revealed through the&amp;nbsp;Naturalization&amp;nbsp;Acts of 1790,&amp;nbsp;1795, and 1802, meant a “natural born Citizen” to be a child whose first breath of life was as a person in allegiance and citizenship only to the United States and to no other country. In other words, to be a “natural born Citizen” it was not sufficient that one was a citizen of the United States “at birth.” Rather, what was needed was that “at birth” one was&amp;nbsp;&lt;u&gt;only&lt;/u&gt;&amp;nbsp;a “citizen of the United States” and of no other nation. Because of the possibility of jus sanguinis (citizenship inherited from one’s parents) and jus soli (citizenship acquired from the territory on which one is born) providing allegiance and citizenship to a child at the moment of birth, they adopted the&amp;nbsp;“natural born citizen" standard for future presidents&amp;nbsp;which was a child born in the country to citizen parents. This means that a “natural born Citizen” is a child who is born in the United States or its jurisdictional equivalent to a father and mother who are both either a “natural born Citizen” or a “citizen of the United States.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obama has conceded that his father was a citizen of Great Britain at the time Obama was born. Hence, even assuming that Obama was born in Hawaii, he was not born to a father who was either a “natural born Citizen” or a “citizen of the United States.” He was not born as a child whose first breath of life was as a person in allegiance and citizenship&amp;nbsp;&lt;u&gt;only&lt;/u&gt;&amp;nbsp;to the United States and to no other country.&amp;nbsp; Obama may be a Fourteenth Amendment "naturalized born Citizen,"&amp;nbsp;but he&amp;nbsp;is not and cannot be an Article II “natural born Citizen.” As for McClellan, it does not matter for him any more, but there may be more like him who come in the future.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mario Apuzzo, Esq.&lt;br /&gt;January 21, 2012&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://puzo1.blogspot.com/" style="color: #336699;"&gt;http://puzo1.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3271022348837921425-3108559700847321483?l=thesteadydrip.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thesteadydrip.blogspot.com/feeds/3108559700847321483/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3271022348837921425&amp;postID=3108559700847321483' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3271022348837921425/posts/default/3108559700847321483'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3271022348837921425/posts/default/3108559700847321483'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thesteadydrip.blogspot.com/2012/01/mario-apuzzos-latest-contribution.html' title='Mario Apuzzo&apos;s latest contribution -

However, Defendant fails to provide any legal authority to support his motion to quash the subpoena to attend. Defendant's motion suggests that no President should be compelled to attend a Court hearing. This may be correct. But Defendant has failed to enlighten the Court with any legal authority. Specifically, Defendant has failed to cite to any legal authority evidencing why his attendance is "unreasonable or oppressive, or that the testimony... [is] irrelevant, immaterial, or cumulative and unnecessary to a party's preparation or presentation at the hearing, or that basic fairness dictates that the subpoena should not be enforced." Ga. Comp. R. &amp;amp; Regs. r. 616-1-2-.19(5).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: white;"&gt;Defendant further alludes to a defect in service of the subpoena. However, the Court's rules provide for service of a subpoena upon a party, by serving the party's counsel of record. Ga. Comp. R. &amp;amp; Regs. r. 616-1-2-.19(4).

Before making my observations, I want to make a guarantee. If it turns out that I was wrong in my previous statement, I will gladly state that I was wrong, and issue a full apology to Orly about my legal assessment (which is something I already know would never be a reciprocal agreement). However, I am certainly not prepared to do that today, regardless of Orly's "&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.orlytaitzesq.com/?p=30563" style="color: #588cb8; font-family: Arial, 'Century gothic', verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;b&gt;I won!!!

You see, unlike Orly, I am not going to look at a cow patty, and assume that because there is evidence of a cow somewhere, I get to serve ice cream to everybody right now. Let me rephrase that . . . SELL ice cream to everybody right now.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, 'Century gothic', verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;"&gt;This is one of the issues I have already discussed—that everything from Orly seems to come with her own flavor of spin. And then, once the spin has been made, it is blindly believed by people (who just want so badly for it to be true), and it starts getting posted around the internet. Problem is, when it turns out that it wasn't entirely true, the only recourse Orly has is to scream "corruption!"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, 'Century gothic', verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;"&gt;Let me make a couple points to try to put this into context. First, because the first response to "birthers" by many in this country is simply to blow us off as conspiracy theorists, Michael Jablonski submitted a sloppy, weak Motion to Quash. I'm sure he thought it would suffice with the judge—since the opposition were birthers; however, Judge Malihi obviously regards his role and the legal process much more seriously than that. And, because I'm sure he wants to make certain that, at the end of these HEARINGS (not trials), there is nothing that could be viewed as procedurally improper, he's not going to grant the professional attorney involved any special favors. He will hold somebody accountable to understand the law, and I'll leave it up to you to figure out whom that might be.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, 'Century gothic', verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;"&gt;Here's what will probably happen: after Jablonski recovers from his&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blanket_party" style="color: #588cb8; font-family: Arial, 'Century gothic', verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;b&gt;blanket party&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, 'Century gothic', verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;"&gt;, he will likely file an amended Motion to Quash; and it will probably be one of the most thorough Motions to Quash in the history of Motions to Quash, and Judge Malihi will probably grant that motion.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, 'Century gothic', verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;"&gt;In the unlikelihood that Judge Malihi does not grant his amended Motion to Quash, there is something that is virtually guaranteed to happen: Obama not showing up to an administrative law hearing in the state of Georgia. Jablonski would appear on his behalf, and present a certified "birth certificate" and proof of residency for the past 14 years. As the certified "birth certificate" will be considered self-verifying by the court, nothing Orly will say will sway it. And remember, the end result of this hearing is a non-binding recommendation to the Secretary of State. So, no, Obama will not be handcuffed in Atlanta next week (he won't even be there).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, 'Century gothic', verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;"&gt;I'm not trying to be a downer, or burst anybody's bubble—but, honestly folks—we need to stop spreading the spin all over the internet, just to be made fools of when what was posted never happens. I'm amazed at the number of people who haven't figured that one out with Orly yet. It's just not going to happen like we want it to.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, 'Century gothic', verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;"&gt;Actually, this denial of the Motion to Quash still doesn't address the invalidity of all the other out-of-state subpoenas Orly mailed (not served). Since Jablonski lives and works in Georgia, he was technically served. Nobody who lives outside of Georgia has been served.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, 'Century gothic', verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;"&gt;As we have all come to expect, Orly continues to show the most debased levels of egomania, and still tries to attack others who have worked on this team as long as she has. She still has all the graciousness of a cactus loofah, and the attitude of a spoiled brat child (who is the only one who deserves your donations, and if you don't donate, you're an Obama operative).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, 'Century gothic', verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;"&gt;So, again, when we're on the other side of this HEARING, and it turns out I am wrong, I'll freely admit it. However, and unfortunately for our side, I'm not wrong—so get ready to hear endless wails of "corruption." And, I do want to make a side note here before signing off: Orly's incompetence is, by no means, to be construed as an indictment against the other two hearings that will take place. Both of those cases have real attorneys involved, so I am hopeful that they will be able to produce positive results. It's funny . . . I haven't heard those other lawyers publicly proclaim ME, ME, ME even once. That alone gives me some hope about their cases.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, 'Century gothic', verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;"&gt;Humbly,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, 'Century gothic', verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;"&gt;ME ME ME ME ME ME ME&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, 'Century gothic', verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;"&gt;###&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, 'Century gothic', verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px;"&gt;&lt;b style="color: #588cb8; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.birthersummit.org/news/75-has-orly-actually-won-won-won.html" style="color: #588cb8; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.birthersummit.org/news/75-has-orly-actually-won-won-won.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, 'Century gothic', verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, 'Century gothic', verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 19px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;AND&amp;nbsp;FURTHERMORE&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, 'Century gothic', verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 19px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h2 class="art-postheader" style="background-color: #f6f2e9; color: #394347; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 24px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 5px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none;"&gt;HAS DEAN HASKINS LOST HIS MIND?&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;div class="art-postcontent" style="background-color: #f6f2e9; color: #242b2d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"&gt;&lt;div class="art-article"&gt;&lt;div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;Posted by: Dean C.

For quite some time, I have been part of what I can only describe as a logical disconnect, wherein multiple conversations would occur almost daily with leaders in our movement, and in those conversations, whenever the topic would turn to a certain “lawyer,” there would be nothing but complaints about procedural missteps and outlandish self-aggrandizing; but, at the same time, there was an underlying understanding that nothing about that could be stated publicly—that we were somehow responsible to take the good along with the bad, and that meant either public praise, or silence.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;As long as I rationalized that, with everyone on the planet, acceptance is accompanied with both good and bad, then my silence wasn't so much a betrayal of truth as it was an assent to the human condition, and a belief that unity could help usher in our desired result. But then, a funny thing happened on my way to sanity—I asked myself a salient question, and my head nearly exploded: Where's the good?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;I know there are times in life wherein one believes his cause to be so just that, to assure what one deems a proper conclusion, he must find, and rely on, a bulldog advocate—that one ruthless counselor who is ultra-versed in the necessary knowledge, and is tenacious and unforgiving in the righteous pursuit. That person is normally not often accused of being overly gracious—but, that's why we're enamored—because that person will go after the opposition's jugular to accomplish what we know to be right. We accept the nastiness simply because it furthers our cause.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;And, as I saw the purposely misleading messages, and thoroughly invalid legal statements being made across the internet (along with a seemingly steady stream of vicious attacks against anyone who was thought to either be siphoning her deserved donations from her, or garnering a bit too much of the limelight), I realized that what I had been doing was&lt;i&gt;accepting the bad with the bad&lt;/i&gt;. Why on earth would we accept both the nastiness and nothing but failure in furthering our cause?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;I know there are some who believe that noise and activity, regardless of its veracity, is helpful, as it keeps a buzz going about our cause. Well, sometimes noise and activity is nothing but noise and activity, and, as I fear has happened in our cause, sometimes they can actually do damage.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;This latest round of hyperposting is so unprofessional it boggles the mind. It's as if we're losing in a 96-0 football game, we&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;accidentally&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;intercept a poorly thrown pass, and suddenly, we've won the Super Bowl. Instead of collectively Tebowing, we should be contemplating what will likely happen in the next play. And, as I've stated, if I've been wrong about my assessment, I'll admit and apologize, but, I can almost guarantee that the next play isn't what everyone is hoping for.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;Those who worship at the altar of Taitz might stop and ponder why it is that it wasn't until after my post on Thursday that she filed a request for letters rogatory. If I were a gambling man, I'd bet that, before my post, she had never even heard of a letter rogatory. However, even though she finally filed the right thing, she once again shot herself in the foot by asking a Georgia court to overturn Hawaii law. As I've explained, the law will not allow for release of Obama's original birth certificate. Yeah, I hate that too, but it's still the law.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;Residents of Orlyberg (see what I just did there?) can go ahead and believe that a viable course of action is to ignore the law (because we really dislike it), and continue to ask courts to disregard the law as well. I, personally, believe we would be far better served to understand the law, and construct a way to work within it to further our cause. Come next Thursday, we'll again see how much closer to the goalpost we will get by trying to circumvent the law. I stand by my predictions, and will apologize if they are wrong—as much as I wish it were not the case, it is the only logical conclusion I can draw, based upon the law. I still hold out some hope for the first two HEARINGS scheduled. But again, the end result of it all will be a non-binding recommendation from the judge to the Secretary of State. So, obviously, the bigger hurdle, even if Judge Malihi can be persuaded, will be Sec. of State Brian Kemp.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;Of course, over the past few days, I've received some hate mail, but, not as much as one might think. I have received far more messages from those who have basically said, “It's about time.” So, the Obots hate me because I'm a birther, the Orlybots hate me because I've told the truth, and then there is a publicly silent group who chooses to remain Swiss in this matter (now, isn't that an amazing coincidence?). It appears I may be making myself a man with no country. I've heard that island living isn't all that bad.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;There are even those who suggest that what I have said could injure our cause. Well, if you believe that the truth will hurt your cause, then either you are corrupt, or your cause is; and, I'm not willing to concede that our cause is. Nothing I have said can harm our cause, because nothing I have said is untrue. Again, not liking the law, or proper legal procedure, is not a reason to ignore them. And, working outside of them is a formula for certain defeat. It is also worth mentioning the intellectual dishonesty involved in chiding me for telling a blunt truth, but giving incessant passes to the hateful attacks from the she-god.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;And, as long as you have brought that up, Orly has, once again,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.orlytaitzesq.com/?p=30598" style="color: #687b82; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"&gt;leveled a blitzkrieg&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;at the Article2SuperPac, directing her minions not to donate to them, but to send donations only to her. Does this not disgust anyone else? And, she continues to lie about doing 99% of the work, so I guess, in her mind, we are the 1%. I'm thinking that, maybe, those who are involved in the Article2SuperPac should do a quick study into things like defamation, libel, injurious falsehood, interference with advantageous relations (trade libel), and possibly, negligent misrepresentation, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;If I am to be “blamed” for telling the truth, then so be it. I suppose there will always be those who believe that Orly is the face of our movement, and I'm sure they now believe I am the movement's ass. Well, as I've stated, I'm not interested in popularity contests, I'm only interested in the truth. If you don't like what I have to say, then don't read what I write. It's that simple. But, I will promise those who choose to spend an occasional couple of minutes hearing from the voices in my head, I will try my best to present the truth the best I can, and will not lie simply for the purpose of promoting myself or prying a donation from you. I will not be boxed into any mandate for group-speak, and even when I hate the truth I share, I will share it anyway. In life, I have learned that the truth will set you free, but it will usually piss you off first. Ultimately, friends are no substitute for truth; and, if one's friends abandon him for speaking the truth, they weren't friends anyway.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;###&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 12px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;If you would like more information about the Birther Summit, please visit our website often at&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.birthersummit.org/" style="color: #687b82; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none;"&gt;www.birthersummit.org&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;or contact Dean Haskins at&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="mailto:dean@birthersummit.org" style="color: #687b82; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none;"&gt;dean@birthersummit.org&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3271022348837921425-4437527340858652320?l=thesteadydrip.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thesteadydrip.blogspot.com/feeds/4437527340858652320/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3271022348837921425&amp;postID=4437527340858652320' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3271022348837921425/posts/default/4437527340858652320'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3271022348837921425/posts/default/4437527340858652320'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thesteadydrip.blogspot.com/2012/01/hey-obama-here-come-judge-judge-mahili.html' title='Hey Obama &quot;Here come da judge!&quot; - Judge Mahili Denies Obama&apos;s Motion To Quash Subpoenas And To Not Appear At Georgia Ballot Challenge Hearing!!!'/><author><name>Sam Sewell</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-lIarHrrlRdM/TZ2ApAjDuNI/AAAAAAAABGo/C00D_T8I5jM/s220/Imported%2BPhotos%2B00014.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WTxjQZ4ABWw/TxnvvJH2G7I/AAAAAAAAD-Y/dVuoBhRiC6k/s72-c/i-won.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271022348837921425.post-6617568501759632116</id><published>2012-01-17T23:28:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2012-01-17T23:28:09.524-05:00</updated><title type='text'>UK Blog getting Thousands of Hits - Obama's Gay Past Being Hidden By Killing Ex-Lovers</title><content type='html'>&lt;h3 class="post-title entry-title" style="background-color: #e6edff; color: #6c82b5; font: normal normal bold 156%/normal Verdana, sans-serif; letter-spacing: -1px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://the-tap.blogspot.com/2012/01/obamas-gay-past-being-hidden-by-killing.html" style="color: #6c82b5;"&gt;Obama's Gay Past Being Hidden By Killing Ex-Lovers&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://the-tap.blogspot.com/2012/01/obamas-gay-past-being-hidden-by-killing.html"&gt;http://the-tap.blogspot.com/2012/01/obamas-gay-past-being-hidden-by-killing.html&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="post-header" style="background-color: #e6edff; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;div class="post-header-line-1"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="post-body entry-content" id="post-body-7393906208794833697" style="background-color: #e6edff; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Sent in to The Tap by Mr Low Of Singapore&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Mother of Murdered Obama Gay Lover Speaks Up&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Submitted by SadInAmerica on Mon, 01/16/2012 - 8:09pm.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In late May, (2010) Wash.

That "Boston Tea Party" started a firestorm of aggression against the &lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;British  Empire&lt;/st1:place&gt;. In 1775, the American people went to war against the British.

In 1787, out Constitution was written by some of the most brilliant men in the history of humanity. They knew government has a quest to be tyrannical. They knew government would use force to enslave its citizens.

In America, no man is born a king or a tyrant.&amp;nbsp; Just as a man must learn to be a killer, men must teach themselves to be tyrants.&amp;nbsp; Barack Obama has learned how to be a&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://redstate.com/tags/tag/crony-capitalism/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times;"&gt;tyrant&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times;"&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times;"&gt;The proclivity was always there, along with the arrogance and narcissism.&amp;nbsp; When you are better than everyone else, it is a small step to wish to reign over them as well.&amp;nbsp; Yet, few expected a University of Chicago lecturer on constitutional law to decide the Constitution did not apply to him, only to mere mortals like us.&amp;nbsp; After all, when speaking of George Bush in 2007, he said, "I was a constitutional law professor, which means unlike the current president I actually respect the Constitution.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times;"&gt;"I refuse to take 'no' for an answer," said Barack Obama in defense of his usurpation of our Constitution, which established three coequal branches of government, sharing power, designed to impede the machinations of a transformational tyrant refusing to take "no" for an answer, or a power-drunk Congress, or an out of control judiciary.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times;"&gt;The checks and balances codified in our&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.archives.gov/exhibits/charters/constitution_transcript.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times;"&gt;Constitution&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;are the foundation of the balance of power intrinsic to our system of government.&amp;nbsp; It is an exercise in divided authority -- adversarial, confrontational and restricted.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times;"&gt;The Constitution is meant to curtail the extremes of unbridled authority.&amp;nbsp; It protects liberty by throttling the wet dreams of would be tyrants.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times;"&gt;A constitutional law professor should know this, but Barack Obama was a&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.factcheck.org/2008/03/obama-a-constitutional-law-professor/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times;"&gt;Senior Lecturer&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times;"&gt;, not a professor on the track to tenure.&amp;nbsp; Apparently, he had no desire for the rigorous imperative of publish or perish.&amp;nbsp; He had bigger plans.&amp;nbsp; Why write about the Constitution, when as a tyrant, he could rewrite the Constitution?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times;"&gt;Tyranny is so much easier; tyrants control everything and don't have to take "no" for an answer.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times;"&gt;It was apparent from the beginning that he was uncomfortable with governing.&amp;nbsp; Trying to convince others that his ideas were the best was difficult, especially since he really didn't have any new ideas.&amp;nbsp; It was more satisfying for him to rule by making rules.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times;"&gt;Now, the President has chosen to bypass the Senate, using his power of&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/unconstitutional-appointment-unconstitutional-office_616062.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times;"&gt;recess appointment&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;to name Richard Cordray as the Director of the&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.consumerfinance.gov/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times;"&gt;Consumer Financial Protection Bureau&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times;"&gt;, despite not having the benefit of an actual recess.&amp;nbsp; The CFPB is a regulatory agency created by the Dodd Frank Financial Reform legislation.&amp;nbsp; It is accountable to no one, with the ability to set its own budget using funds from the Federal Reserve, without congressional approval.&amp;nbsp; It alone, decides what and who to regulate, with no oversight from the Legislative and Executive branches.&amp;nbsp; Its director cannot be fired and his decisions cannot be overruled.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times;"&gt;Recess appointments, however, can only be made during a recess, and the Senate decides, with the approved of the House of Representatives, when it is in recess.&amp;nbsp; Barack Obama does not have the constitutional authority to dictate its time for recess, perhaps for Sasha and Malia, but not for the U. S. Senate.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times;"&gt;The Executive controls only the Executive branch, not the Legislative branch.&amp;nbsp; Refusing to recess is the prerogative of the Senate and a tool used very effectively by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and the Democrats, with the full support of Senator Obama, to prevent George W. Bush from making recess appointments in 2007 and 2008.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times;"&gt;In essence, Barack Obama has unconstitutionally made Mr. Cordray a king of what is probably an&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sidley.com/files/RepresentativeExperience/3aa71821-2731-4a03-9193-c7d963e25011/Presentation/ceRepExperienceDocument1/CFPB%20Accountability.pdf"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times;"&gt;unconstitutional agency&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times;"&gt;, with the power to regulate all aspects of the American economy.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times;"&gt;The President also&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.cato-at-liberty.org/whitewashing-the-auto-bailouts/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times;"&gt;illegally&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;diverted TARP funds, without the consent of Congress, toward bailing out political supporters -- the&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702303745304576361663907855834.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times;"&gt;UAW and the auto industry&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;-- while simultaneously reversing the order of creditors and ignoring a hundred years of bankruptcy law.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times;"&gt;He dedicated much of his trillion dollar stimulus to crony-capitalist ventures like&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/solyndra-politics-infused-obama-energy-programs/2011/12/14/gIQA4HllHP_story.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times;"&gt;Solyndra&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=46227"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times;"&gt;Light Squared&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times;"&gt;, and transfer payments to the states to ensure that no backer of Barack would have to suffer through the economic downturn.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times;"&gt;He decided that there would be no more drilling for oil in the Gulf of Mexico, on land or off our shores, ignoring court orders and making a mockery of the permit process, while costing the nations hundreds of thousands of potential jobs.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times;"&gt;Hope and change has left&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nypost.com/f/print/news/national/report_no_evil_on_PnPxy3poULAYvQV6Y2nPWP"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times;"&gt;25 million&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Americans unemployed, but our President doesn't care about jobs in the fossil fuel industry.&amp;nbsp;
