To The Shores Of Tripoli…

The place to stop pirates is on the beaches.

By Seth Cropsey

The November 15 hijacking 450 miles east of Mombasa, Kenya, of a thousand-plus foot oil tanker carrying more than two million barrels of crude oil forced international recognition that the seas have been dramatically added to the world’s list of outlaw space. According to the International Maritime Bureau, recorded attacks by pirates in the Gulf of Aden area have more than tripled–to 92–in the past year. The million square mile swath of the Indian Ocean off, and south of, the Somali coast through which approximately 20,000 ships a year pass between Asia, Europe, and the Western Hemisphere is within hailing distance of smaller, but no less significant, portions of the Middle East and South/Central Asia whose lawlessness has produced important consequences around the world. The prospect of a large-scale meeting of lawless land and lawless sea would be especially troubling even if the possible failed state in the middle–Pakistan–didn’t possess nuclear weaponry.

Marine Makes Insurgents Pay the Price

FARAH PROVINCE, Afghanistan — In the city of Shewan, approximately 250 insurgents ambushed 30 Marines and paid a heavy price for it.

Shewan has historically been a safe haven for insurgents, who used to plan and stage attacks against Coalition Forces in the Bala Baluk district.

The city is home to several major insurgent leaders. Reports indicate that more than 250 full time fighters reside in the city and in the surrounding villages.

Obama Is An Intel Spook

11-29-8

This accurate comment appears on the Amazon review page of Webster Tarpley’s ‘Barrack H. Obama – The Unauthorized Biography’ –

Obama is a spook. I don’t mean that in the racist sense of the word.

Obama’s mother was a CIA officer.

Obama was one of 8 students selected to study sovietology in Columbia’s IR program under Brzezinski, one of the CIA’s top- ranking officers.

Obama went to work for a CIA front, Business International Corporation (one of whose specialties was recruiting leaders of domestic left-wing organizations as CIA assets).

AMENDING THE NATURAL BORN CITIZEN REQUIREMENT: GLOBALIZATION AS THE IMPETUS AND THE OBSTACLE

Kent Law Review ^ | 2/22/2006 | Sarah P. Herlihy

Posted on Friday, November 28, 2008 5:40:28 PM by SatinDoll

INTRODUCTION

The natural born citizen requirement in Article II of the United States Constitution has been called the “stupidest provision” in the Constitution,1 “undecidedly unAmerican,”2 “blatantly discriminatory,”3 and the “Constitution’s worst provision.”4 …

snip

The natural born citizen clause of the United States Constitution should be repealed for numerous reasons. Limiting presidential eligibility to natural born citizens discriminates against naturalized citizens, is out-dated and undemocratic, and incorrectly assumes that birthplace is a proxy for loyalty. The increased globalization of the world continues to make each of these reasons more persuasive…the natural born citizen clause has increasingly become out of place in the American legal system. However, even though globalization strengthens the case for a Constitutional amendment, many Americans argue against abolishing the requirement.

WILL AMERICA SURVIVE? SOON WE SHALL KNOW by Alan Stang

[Announcement: Did you know Alan Stang has a new radio show? Click here for details.]

The event that will determine whether or not this nation survives was not the popular vote for Illegal-Alien Elect Hussein. It will be the decision the U.S. Supreme Court makes on whether he is eligible to serve. Some people in the other branches have said the Constitution is dead. The late Republicrud Congressman Henry Hyde of Illinois – a purported “conservative” – said as follows: “The Constitution is old and needs to be rewritten.”

Hyde also said this: “There are things in the Constitution that have been over taken by events, by time. The declaration of war is one of them. There are things no longer relevant to a modern society. Why declare war if you don’t have to? . . . It’s inappropriate, it’s anachronistic and it isn’t done anymore.” So Hyde was content to leave that awesome power in the hands of one man. The Founders were not.

As December Looms More Take Notice of Obama [the Kenyan] Eligibility Issue

As December Looms, More Take Notice of Obama Eligibility Issue

Christian Science Monitor latest to weigh in on citizenship debate

Every single day, it seems as though more and more information is coming across my Blackberry and e-mail inbox regarding the citizenship and eligibility questions surrounding Barack Obama. There are new reports analyzing Obama’s Certificate of Live Birth, reports refuting the first reports, information about forged selective service documents, and even rumors of death threats against one of those who has brought suit.

So much new information has come across that I am forced, due to constraints in time and resources which preclude me from examining and verifying and properly sourcing everything to the point where I feel comfortable running it in these pages, to act much like a spectator in all of this and limit the coverage here at America’s Right to things with I can personally see and feel and smell and examine, such as the various legal filings in the different suits across the country.

Thankfully, it seems as though word is steadily getting out. The great folks at WorldNetDaily have taken it upon themselves to spearhead an operation bridging the gap between the new media and the mainstream press — and it seems to be working. A few days ago, a question about the birth certificate issue was asked at a White House press briefing, and now we see that even the Christian Science Monitor has picked up the baton and chosen to weigh in.

Obama Should End The Birth Certificate Controversy
By The Rev. Michael Bresciani, For The Bulletin

The question of whether Barack Obama was actually born in Kenya thus disqualifying him to run as a presidential candidate will not go away. It is like the little mushrooms that appear every morning under the tree, they keep coming back. What should the president-elect do?

It is not fair to label those who want answers as racists, disillusioned right-wingers, conspiracy nuts or any other convenient appellation thereby asking them to simply shut up. Lawsuits filed to require that an official vault document be produced have come from African-Americans, democrats and a host of constitutionally concerned citizens.

Joe the Outlaw – We will all soon be outlaws

by Llewellyn H. Rockwell, Jr.
by Llewellyn H. Rockwell, Jr

This whole campaign has been dreadfully boring, with gaffe-avoidance techniques squelching all spontaneity, and it doesn’t help that the ideological parameters of the election have been so narrowly drawn as to make any thinking person want to shut up both the candidates and the media that cover them so lovingly.

Still, one interesting point has emerged: the archetype chosen to represent mainstream America turns out to be a thorough-going outlaw in the best sense of that term. In this, he is a symbol of the age. We can look forward to the creation and emergence of ever more people like this in the coming years, as the state tightens its grip over every aspect of American life. We will all soon be outlaws.

MEDIA FIDDLES WHILE AMERICA BURNS By Cliff Kincaid

I got into trouble many years ago when I co-hosted CNN’s now-defunct Crossfire show and told an Ambassador from Libya, who was filibustering and denying his government’s links to terrorism, to “Please shut up.” The producer told me that I went too far, but at least I said “please.” On the other hand, CNBC’s Maria Bartiromo went too far when she concluded a Monday interview with Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, a major Citigroup investor who has been bailed out by U.S. taxpayers, by saying, “Thank you very much for your precious time.”

Precious time? This is a multi-billionaire foreigner whose financial firm has been bailed out with U.S. taxpayer money. Alwaleed ought to thank us for our precious money—money we don’t have to lend to foreign billionaires.

DO PEOPLE CARE IF AMERICA ENDS? By Nancy Levant

November 27, 2008
NewsWithViews.com

It’s an interesting question and one pondered for years. I have come to the conclusion that those born after the 1960’s are not patriotic citizens by the same definition as those born prior to the 60’s. In fact, I’ve heard many 20, 30, and even 40-somethings claim that they hold no particular allegiance to this country, as they consider it to be imperialistic, dishonest, exploitative, and devious.

But we older citizens must realize that the younger generations have not had the benefit of time, wisdom, and many have not had the experience of warfare and soldiering, nor have they had the benefit of an educational system that taught “Republic” vs. “Democracy.” They believe their country to be a democracy, and at the same time, know very well that it is not. They have also been raised on a steady dose of unscrupulous and lying governance, and this they know, as well.

Alan Keyes Tells Us Why He Questions Obama’s Presidency

View photos of President-elect Barack Obama »
The Constitution requires that, to be president, one must be a natural born citizen of the United States. Conservative Alan Keyes-who ran against President-elect Barack Obama in the 2004 race for the Illinois Senate, and in the 2008 U.S. presidential campaign (Keyes ran on the American Independent Party ticket)-is challenging whether that is the case for our new president. In November, Keyes filed a lawsuit against Obama, the California secretary of state, and others, to stop California from giving its electoral votes to Obama until a birth certificate is produced proving that he is indeed a natural born citizen. ESSENCE.com talked to Keyes about where he thinks Obama was born, why he questions the birth records already provided, and if this whole lawsuit is just an overblown case of sour grapes.

ESSENCE.COM: What exactly do you want to accomplish with this lawsuit?
ALAN KEYES: I had read a little bit about the issues that were being raised about Obama back during the primary season. At first I thought, like a lot of people, “There’s nothing to this. It’s just a matter of fact. You can establish what the facts are.” The Constitution specifies that a citizen who is naturalized, rather than born into the status of being an American citizen, cannot be president. That was done in the beginning because people feared a foreign takeover of the United States government by the process of immigration. Staid as it is, we again are in a situation where a lot of foreign entities have influence or control over U.S. policy.

The reason an issue has been raised about Obama is because of the simple question, which can be answered with a birth certificate that shows he was born in the United States, or born to parents who had the capacity to transmit U.S. citizenship. When the question was asked, he danced around it. If the most important office of the federal government can be occupied by someone who is not qualified under the United States Constitution, that destroys the authority of the Constitution. I think it’s something that needs to be dealt with in a clear, straightforward way. Eventually the case will get to the Supreme Court, establish the facts, and clear the air. It’s really all very simple.

Maverick Dem [Zell] Miller boosts Chambliss for runoff

GAINESVILLE, Ga. — Georgia’s maverick Democrat Zell Miller threw his support behind Sen. Saxby Chambliss saying he “could well be the last man standing between a far, far left liberal agenda sailing through the Senate.”

A former Georgia senator and governor, Miller remains a Democrat but has lined up behind prominent Georgia Republicans in recent years. Chambliss is locked in a Dec. 2 U.S. Senate runoff with Democrat Jim Martin. The race could help decide whether Democrats win enough seats to block Republican filibusters.

Natural-Born, Native Born, “Subject to the Jurisdiction Thereof,” etc.

Native. A natural-born subject or citizen; a citizen by birth; one who owes his domicile or citizenship to the fact of his birth within the country referred to.  The term may also include one born abroad, if his parents were then citizens of the country, and not permanently residing in foreign parts.

IS OBAMA ELIGIBLE TO THE OFFICE OF PRESIDENT? By Lynn Stuter

November 25, 2008

NewsWithViews.com

On November 4, 2008, Barack Hussein Obama was (s)elected as the next president of the United States. For months now, the question of his eligibility to the office of president has been swirling with increasing velocity.

Questions abound about …

1- where Obama was actually born; Kenya or Hawaii;
2- whether he was adopted by his step-father, Lolo Soetoro, and became an Indonesian citizen; and
3- whether his vault copy Hawaii birth certificate really exists.

Barack Hussein Obama claims he was born in Hawaii. As proof he produced a laser printed copy of a document which appeared on several websites. Two pro-Obama websites, FactCheck.org [1] and FighttheSmears.com claim the document is authentic and proof that Obama was born in Hawaii. From the FactCheck.org website comes this:

“FactCheck.org staffers have now seen, touched, examined and photographed the original birth certificate. We conclude that it meets all of the requirements from the State Department for proving U.S. citizenship. Claims that the document lacks a raised seal or a signature are false. We have posted high-resolution photographs of the document as ‘supporting documents’ to this article. Our conclusion: Obama was born in the U.S.A. just as he has always said.”

Is this really true?

Do you really feel comfortable with Barack Obama as President of the United States?

========================

Anthony: below is an email that I sent out to dozens of family and friends, that I spent months researching, and that I put together about six weeks before the 04th Nov Presidential Election.  I’m proud to say, that I did my part, my brother and I (and my brother is a lifelong Democrat!); changed several dozen votes as a result of this email, and our personal lobbying efforts.  Unfortunately, we needed to change about 6.5million more, so we fell a tad “short” of our goal…obviously…ta.da.dum!

If you will publish it for your readers, as followup to the thread concerning General Jones possibly heading the NSC in an Obama Administration, fine; if not, I completely understand.   But understand, not of the original research below is mine, it is from serious scholars and journalists and bloggers, who were not in thrall to the Mainstream media, who like I, were seriously concerned by what was about to happen if the voters of America put Barack Obama into the Oval Office.

Also, the links to articles from the NYT and Chicago Tribune, were actually done by those newspapers back when they supported Hillary Clinton for the Nomination, and when it was in their interests to do actual real journalism concerning Barack Obama; however, once he became the Annointed One, mysteriously, those articles and links began to slowly disappear, as their now embarrassing exposures about Barack Obama’s background, proclivities, etc., were seen as dangerous, and justly so, to their nominee.  In other words, the information was no longer covenient.  Tony, it seems as if some of your readers may feel comfortable calling me some type of Right Wing Nut….I wonder if they can do the same to the NYT, the Chicago Tribune, the NRO, American Thinker, IBD..etc.?

I challenge any of your readers to disprove ANY of the information in any of the links/articles below!  They can’t hurt my feelings by doing so, I didn’t write any of it.  But it was available out there for anyone who was interested in finding it.   Too bad we had 65million Americans too lazy, or ignorant to do so.

The Great Birth Certificate Scandal-Cover-Up of the 2008 Election by Joan Swirsky

November 22, 2008
by Joan SwirskyThis week, newscasters reported that al Qaeda’s #2 terrorist disparaged the election of Barack Obama, and hurled racial slurs at Obama himself. “The report has not been confirmed by the State Department,” they all said, but they reported it anyway.

Last week, Fox News reporter Carl Cameron told viewers that three “anonymous” insiders of Sen. McCain’s campaign said that Sarah Palin was, in essence, a diva and a dunce. He – and dozens of others who picked up the story on other channels – never identified, or even verified, the sources of the quotes, but they reported them anyway.

——————-

Contrast these shabby examples of “journalism” with the legions of identifiable, verifiable and credible sources who for months have been investigating the disturbing allegation that Barack Obama is ineligible for the presidency because he has failed to meet one of the three requirements that the U.S. Constitution mandates, specifically that he provide proof of his “natural born” U.S. citizenship.

A Reason Interview

“I don’t believe in a government that protects us from ourselves.”

Those of us concerned about liberty have had good reason of late to be interested in Ronald Reagan. Increasingly, California’s former governor has been turning up in first place among Republican figures in political opinion polls, among Independents as well as Republicans. In addition, in recent months Reagan has taken to using the term “libertarian” (or “libertarian-conservative”) to describe his political philosophy. All of which naturally made us interested in taking a closer look at the man and his ideas. Thanks to the efforts of the late Ned Hutchinson (a former Reagan aide), REASON was able to obtain time out of Reagan’s busy schedule for him to be interviewed by Editor Manuel S. Klausner.

GLOBAL SOCIALISTS TOAST VICTORY OVER AMERICA By Cliff Kincaid

November 22, 2008
NewsWithViews.com

The American people may be losing their jobs and savings, but on Friday night, on the eve of the international financial summit, they provided President Bush and other G20 leaders a lavish banquet that included $300-a-bottle wine, Vermont Brie, eggplant fondue, and rack of lamb. Details of the “culinary delights” and “sumptuous feast” provided to the politicians who departed their black limousines were included in wire service stories. They were toasting the demise of America as a global economic and military superpower and planning to loot another trillion dollars from U.S. taxpayers.

Stories about the feast can only cause rising anger in the United States. A C-SPAN moderator on Sunday morning, hosting a discussion of the growing financial crisis and taking calls, himself commented that there was a lot of anger out there. One caller mentioned taking up arms against the government over the looting of the taxpayers.

We have seen the people react this way in the past to proposals for Congressional pay raises and illegal alien amnesty. But the growing anger over the endless series of taxpayer bailouts is getting louder and louder. In response to the stories about the lavish G20 banquet and my own columns on the growing financial crisis, I received this email:

The Arabs are not interested in getting closer to the West, to Israel or to peace; they want more power. What Blair thinks is peace for them is just a steppingstone to their real purpose – the liquidation of the state of Israel. Western leaders, including President Bush, are denying in their policies and with their words the Judeo-Christian roots of Western Civilization and therewith are also denying their own personal and political reality. This is the reason why they are unaware of the real motives of our enemies.

Tarawa’s brutality remembered Nearly 1,700 U.S. troops died in battle By Audrey McAvoy, The Associated Press

Tarawa’s brutality remembered Nearly 1,700 U.S. troops died in battle By Audrey McAvoy, The Associated Press Photos by Audrey McAvoy/AP Adm. Timothy Keating, head of the U.S. Pacific Command, shakes hands with Roy Robinson, an 83-year-old veteran of the Battle of Tarawa. On Thursday, the 65th anniversary of the brutal battle, Keating said many lessons still could be learned from World War II. “Pay attention to the survivors while we can,” Keating said. Master Sgt. James M. Fawcett, left, and Capt. Kyle Corcoran salute Fawcett’s father’s ashes on Red Beach in Tarawa, Kiribati. Fawcett spread the ashes on the beach where his father fought his way ashore 65 years ago on the first day of the Battle of Tarawa. TARAWA, Kiribati — Master Sgt. James M. Fawcett got on his knees and gently mixed his father’s ashes with sand on the Pacific beach where the elder Fawcett fought his way ashore 65 years ago. Maj. James L. Fawcett died in September at the age of 89. He wanted his ashes taken to the spot where half of the men in his 50-man platoon were killed during the first two hours of the Battle of Tarawa, one of World War II’s most brutal battles. “What a great way to end a great life,” the younger Fawcett said Thursday after he fulfilled his father’s wish. He was “a guy that was just an incredible hero and an incredible father,” he said. Fawcett later joined a ceremony observing the 65th anniversary of the Nov. 20, 1943, start of the three-day battle. The United States aimed to take Tarawa from Japan, which had controlled the island since Tokyo ousted the British three days after the attack on Pearl Harbor. The fight for the tiny atoll halfway between Hawaii and Australia was the U.S. military’s first major amphibious assault in World War II. Victory gave the U.S. control of a critical airfield it used to launch planes to bomb new Japanese targets and spy on Japanese positions. It also taught the Navy and Marine Corps crucial lessons in amphibious warfare that would help the U.S. take island after island as it pushed west across the Pacific to defeat Japan and end the war. But the gains came at great cost. More than 990 U.S. Marines and some 680 sailors died, while almost 2,300 were wounded. Only 17 of the 3,500 Japanese troops — and 129 of the 1,200 Korean laborers forcibly brought to Tarawa by Japan — survived. “The battle that unfolded here was one of staggering sacrifice, almost inconceivable challenge,” Adm. Timothy J. Keating, head of the U.S. Pacific Command, said at the ceremony marking the anniversary. “Their courage and commitment and sense of honor inspired a nation.” Four Medals of Honor — the nation’s highest award for combat valor — were earned at Tarawa, one of them posthumously. Thirty-four Navy Crosses, the Navy’s second-highest award for valor, were issued along with some 250 Silver Stars. The U.S. had expected to significantly weaken the Japanese position before the Marines landed by assaulting the island with long-range bombers and sorties launched from aircraft carriers. Battleships and cruisers lobbed shells. The Americans planned to have 3,000 Marines on the beach in 30 minutes and 6,000 more in the hours that followed. Instead, the Marines took hours getting ashore, and lost hundreds of men doing so. The U.S. made two especially costly mistakes. One was dramatically underestimating how many Japanese would survive their aerial bombardments. The other was misreading the ocean tides, causing U.S. transport boats to get stuck on the reef. Many Marines were mowed down by Japanese machine-gun fire when they were forced to abandon the boats and wade ashore. After assessing the results of Tarawa, U.S. commanders decided they would need more amphibious troops to invade Kwajalein and nearby islands. They also determined they would need to drop precision bombs over long periods to take out the concrete bunkers that had protected Japanese troops on Tarawa from aerial attack. Keating, who commands 300,000 U.S. troops in the Asia-Pacific region, urged those working for him to learn from World War II veterans while they are still living. “Pay attention to the survivors while we can,” he said.

Day of Reckoning by Patrick J. Buchanan

How did the United States of America, the richest nation on earth, whose economy represents 30 percent of the Global Economy, arrive at the precipice of a financial panic and collapse?

The answer lies in the abject failure of both America’s financial elite and the political elite of both parties – the same elites now working together to determine how much of our wealth will be needed to bail the nation out of the crisis of their own creation.

Big Government is riding to the rescue – saddlebags full of our tax dollars – to save us from the consequences of the stupidity and folly of Big Government. New York and Washington, the twin cities responsible for the crisis, are now being hailed by the media as the 7th Cavalry, coming to rescue a beleaguered nation.

No more talk of him being The One (Oprah), or a Jedi Knight (George Lucas), or a “Lightworker” (the San Francisco Chronicle), or a “quantum leap in American consciousness” (Deepak Chopra). Instead we have more humble and circumspect conversation about the man. Now he’s merely Abraham Lincoln and FDR and Martin Luther King, combined.

It’s a step down from divine redeemer, but you have to start somewhere.

Newsweek, Time, the Washington Post, “60 Minutes” and, of course, The O Network (formerly known as MSNBC) have all run wild with this stuff. Depicting Obama as FDR or Lincoln has become a staple of the self-proclaimed “objective” media.

I was on Fox News the other night to throw some cold water on this Obama-as-Lincoln stuff. Alan Colmes of “Hannity & Colmes” chastised me, asking if we shouldn’t give Obama “a chance to actually spread his wings and fly a little bit” before disparaging him.

Fine. I actually agree with that. Conservatives should not denounce Obama’s performance before he’s had a chance to, you know, perform.

But, shouldn’t we also hold off on comparing the guy to FDR and Lincoln before he’s done anything?

Obama hasn’t even taken the oath of office yet, and it’s already an unfair right-wing attack to say that Obama isn’t on par with Lincoln and FDR. What’s next? Will it be slander to say Obama’s a carbon-based life form? Will the Secret Service investigate you if you’re overheard saying you think Obama’s merely “OK”?

The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have demonstrated how critically important snipers are to a fight
marked by urban canyons and high-mountain caves. Problem is, those highly-trained sharpshooters are in short supply, and the need for accurate, long-range fire has outpaced the services’ ability to field one-shot killers.

So both the Army and Marine Corps began a program to seed infantry squads with so-called “designated marksmen” – call them “snipers-lite.”

THE ASTEROIDS ARE STRIKING THE CAR INDUSTRY By Dr. Laurie Roth

The asteroids are striking! Cars will be smashed. What will people drive if we aren’t given billions? We will go down in heaping flames and cars will cease to exist. At least that is the view of the desperate shrills of Daimier Chrysler, Ford and GM to congressional leaders.

Lets look a little closer at the body of the dying patient on the table…more light please nurse. First of all lets look at their average wages. Thanks to CNSNews.com we now know that the average worker at DaimierChrysler makes $75.86 and hour. Ford, on average pays their workers $70.51 an hour and GM averages $73.26 an hour. The bottom line is that even with some of these numbers including retirement costs, pensions etc….it still averages about $133,000 per year per worker. Isn’t that special? In a time of national melt down and the car companies allegedly going down the toilet, the average worker desperately struggles with a lowly 100,000 plus salary? Oh horror of horrors. I can hardly process the suffering and pain.

DISEMBOWELING AMERICA By Jon Christian Ryter

November 21, 2008
NewsWithViews.com

Canada and Mexico have long been tied to the US economy. In 1994, the North American Free Trade Agreement was crafted at the hands of the Democratically-controlled 104th Congress—and the newly-elected Clinton Administration as their quid pro quo to the international money mafia who financed their victory. Both Canada and Mexico thought NAFTA would make them as prosperous as the United States. Mexico, at least, should have known better.

While Canada has always prospered from its proximity to the United States, Mexico—which has traditionally been viewed as America’s “subprime neighbor”—has not. Mexico was invited to play an important role in the globalization of the western hemisphere only because it has an easily-corrupted government and an abundance of cheap labor. It was a second-world power sitting at the gateway of the greatest economic power in the world. It was also a second-world power that provided the merchant princes of the United States with an unnoticed gateway, through the tariff-free provisions of NAFTA, that would allow US industrialists to export their factories to the People’s Republic of China and then import products made in joint ventures between US corporations and the Chinese government through the tariff-free Mexican Port of Lazaro Cardenas. Chinese goods, masquerading as NAFTA goods from Mexico, traveled up the Trans-Texas Corridor to anxious, bargain-hunting, stupid American consumers who still fail to realize that the more Chinese or other third world products they buy the faster their job will be exported to the human capital-rich third world countries which are raising up a new generation of consumers. The discretionary income of these new consumers will come at the expense of US jobs.

Yes, I know that Illegal Alien-Elect Hussein is a Communist. I know his financial peculations could land most others in jail. I know that, because he has concealed everything about himself and lied about it, we know less about him than we did about every other candidate elected to the Oval Office.

I know that he could still actually be a Muslim and that he has participated in disgusting, degenerate sexual practices. I know he has been a British subject and an Indonesian citizen and therefore is ineligible to be President of the United States. I know he has used cocaine, like his predecessor, Communist world government traitor Jorge W. Boosh. I know he is the property of Goldman Sachs.

In fact, Stephen Coffman retired as Resident Agent in Charge of Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Galveston, Texas office after thirty two years of government service. For many of those years his security clearance was Secret and even higher. In the latest outrage, Coffman has examined the Selective Service System paperwork filed in Hussein’s name, and told me that it is riddled with forgeries, still another felony. Get in touch with me if you would like to see his phony SSS card.

Again, “Barack Hussein Obama” is a concoction, a biological version of a department store manikin, manufactured on a lathe to be tall, handsome and charming, blessed with a beautiful black-preacher voice, a man who has more names than a woman – Barack Hussein Obama, aka Barry Soetoro, aka Barry Obama, aka Barack Dunham, aka Barry Dunham – and more nationalities than a virus, as impossible to authenticate as it is to nail a cow pie to a wall.

During the period of roughly February 1992 to mid 1994, I was making frequent trips to Moscow, Russia, in the process of starting a software development joint-venture company with some people from the Russian scientific community. One of the men in charge on the Russian side was named V. M.; he had a wife named T.M.

V. was a level-headed scientist while his wife was rather deeply committed to the losing Communist cause – a cause she obviously was not abandoning.

With only 1,448 days left before the 2012 election, you-know-who is making plans to launch another long-shot campaign for the presidency.

So much can happen before Nov. 6, 2012: Hillary Clinton could be on the Supreme Court. Her husband could be getting $400,000 per speech.

There’ll be yet another James Bond actor. Shrek IX will be showing. And Harry Reid will be scowling. Still.

Also, you can bet Rep. Ron Paul will be running for the White House again, probably as a Republican. Not so much to actually win, mind you; RP runs to make a point about less government and foreign intervention.

REQUIEM FOR A LOST NATION By Sheriff Jim R. Schwiesow, Ret.

November 20, 2008

“The drums sound with measured beat; the Sun sets slowly with diminished heat. Listen to the dirge and mark the cadence of a song of death for a once great nation.”

One of the fun things about writing a column is the receipt of mail, good and bad, in response to my articles. Those who understand the message and have pertinent arguments and constructive comment are a blessing and greatly appreciated. Their comments are most often stimulating, interesting and nearly always challenging and enlightening.

The nescient few who write to vent their spleen and pour out a completely illiterate, unlettered and mindless invective can be weirdly entertaining. Given the bizarreness of their messages it is sad to think that the writers of these are the finished product of the American Education system. When I read these offerings I continually wonder when and how the writer escaped the asylum. It is scary to think that those who are so inimically disposed might be running around with a fingernail file in their pocket. I can imagine that their Kindergarten teachers appended their report cards with such messages as “fails to color within the lines” and “does not get along well with classmates.” These do help me to partially understand the Transportation Security Administration’s obsession with penknives and small manicuring implements. Remember I said partially as I am not altogether sure that many of those of the TSA are not often recruited from among this very segment of society.

ANARCHY HAS COME By Coach Dave Daubenmire

President Bush reportedly said that the Constitution was “just a G—D—n piece of paper.” It is hard to believe that the report is true, but you would have to admit that recent happenings in this once-great Constitutional Republic reflect the opinions of many in power in the nation’s capital.

Despite what you might hear on the news, or out of the mouth of our elected officials, America is not a Democracy. In fact, according to our Founders, a democracy was the worst form of all governments. Listen to what some wise men have said.

Ben Franklin said “Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. When the people find they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic.”

“The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.” Winston Churchill

“Democracy is the road to socialism.” Karl Marx

According to Webster’s unabridged Dictionary, a republic is “A form of government in which supreme power resides in a body of citizens entitled to vote and is exercised by elected officers and representatives responsible to them and governing according to law.”

EDITORS’NOTE: For a comprehensive look at a host of additional associates, appointees, and allies who have been important figures in the political career of Barack Obama, click here.

Two days after defeating John McCain, Barack Obama made his first appointmentas president-elect when he named 49-year-old Rahm Emanuel to be his chief ofstaff. Formerly an aide to Bill Clinton and currently the DemocraticRepresentative for Illinois’5th congressional district, Emanuel has suddenly become a figure of greatinterest to the American public.

Yet there has been much disagreement about where,on the political spectrum, his politics fall. Some critics have derided him asthe prototype of a partisan leftist. Others, such as ABC reporter ClaireShipman and CNN correspondent Frank Sesno, have characterized him,respectively, as “a pragmatic, centrist politician” and assomeone “on the center to center-right.” Whom are we tobelieve?

E.D. Hill, Fox Contract Not Renewed. Fired Over Obama Comment?

NEWSBUSTERS ^ | November 19, 2008 | Warner Todd Huston

Posted on Wednesday, November 19, 2008 3:13:26 PM by radar101

TVNewser has an exclusive on the final fate of invisible Fox personality E.D. Hill today. Fox has decided not to renew E.D.’s contract, so she will be finally leaving the Fox News Channel after being off the air since June.

Some may remember the left-media storm targeting E. D. Hill that occurred back on June 6 when she off handedly said that Barack and Michelle’s on stage fist bump was a “terrorist fist jab.” The Huffington Post and Media Matters raised a storm of protest and soon after, E.D. Hill lost her Fox show.

Well, it seems to have taken some time, but as TVNewser reports Fox has announced they are not going to renew Hill’s contract when it expires early in 2009.

SVP of Programming Bill Shine tells TVNewser that he “chose not to renew E.D.’s latest contract” but noted that “Hill has been a valued contributor to the success of FNC over the years, and we wish her all the best.”

Gunny G: Jim Jones and Jonestown, etc.

Last night FauxNoose ran a piece on Jim Jones and The Jonestown thing. They claimed it had new never-b4-seen photos, etc. I saw nothing new. For years we have seen both the party line article on this, and much lesser, the conspiracy theory articles here and there.

I recalled that there was one conspiracy theory stuck in my old mind-housing-group about a Special Forces team that had gone into Jonestown before the media came upon the scene. A Ms Google search eventually turned up the article I had been thinking of–seems it had involved Col Bo Gritz–that I had not remembered.

What is the truth of Jim Jones and the Jonestown incident?
I do not know.
Is there anything to the various “conspiracy theories” involving this?
I do not know.
What of the party line account of things on this? Many points of view even with the party line account.

Anyway, the conspiracy angles are interesting, if nothing else.

Here’s another article here.

Former Marine outlines secret dossiers Muslims, Arabs not targeted, FBI says By Rick Rogers

UNION-TRIBUNE STAFF WRITER

November 17, 2008

OCEANSIDE – Two years after his arrest, a former Marine gunnery sergeant is talking about the FBI, CIA and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement files he stole from Camp Pendleton for a civilian agency.

Gary Maziarz, a former Marine intelligence specialist, gave secret government files to an anti-terrorism watch group.

In interviews with The San Diego Union-Tribune, Gary Maziarz, 39, said “dozens of files” he gave the Los Angeles Terrorism Early Warning Group while serving as an intelligence specialist at the base were dossiers on Muslims and Arabs living in Southern California.

This marks the first time Maziarz has spoken to the media about the files since pleading guilty in July 2007 to mishandling classified material and stealing government property.

From the magazine issue dated Nov 24, 2008

On Nov. 5, Todd Strandberg was at his desk, fielding E-mails from around the world. As the editor and founder of RaptureReady.com, his job is to track current events and link them to biblical prophecy in hopes of maintaining his status as “the eBay of prophecy,” the best source online for predictions and calculations concerning the end of the world. Already Barack Obama had drawn the attention of apocalypse watchers after an anonymous e-mail circulated among conservative Christians in October implying that he was the Antichrist. Former “Saturday Night Live” ingénue Victoria Jackson fueled the fire when, according to news reports, she wrote on her Web site that Obama “bears traits that resemble the anti-Christ.” Now Strandberg was receiving up-to-the-minute news from his constituents in Illinois. One of the winning lottery numbers in the president-elect’s home state was 666— which, as everyone knows, is the sign of the Beast (also known as the Antichrist). “It is very eerie, and I take it for a sign as to who he really is,” wrote one of Strandberg’s correspondents.

Obama Declares War on Conservative Talk Radio By Jim Boulet, Jr.

Return to the Article

November 17, 2008

Barack Obama sought to silence his critics during his 2008 campaign.  Now, with the ink barely dry on this November’s ballots, Obama has begun a war against conservative talk radio.

Obama is on record as saying he does not plan an exhumation of the now-dead “Fairness Doctrine“. Instead, Obama’s attack on free speech will be far less understood by the general public and accordingly, far more dangerous.

The late community organizer Saul Alinsky taught his followers to strike hard from an unexpected direction, an approach known as Alinsky jujitsu.

Obama himself not only worked as an organizer for an Alinsky offshoot organization, Chicago’s Developing Communities Project, but would go on to teach classes in Alinsky’s beliefs and methods.

Pull away blanket of secrecy on federal bailout By LOREN STEFFY

Copyright 2008 Houston Chronicle

Nov. 15, 2008, 12:51AM

Two months after the government unfolded the TARP, it and the other federal programs related to the bailout are looking more like a blanket of secrecy.

The Troubled Asset Relief Program, as the $700 billion bailout program approved by Congress is known, was supposed to be conducted with transparency and oversight.

The TARP and other provisions of the federal bailout, however, remain shrouded in uncertainty. TARP, though, is only one piece of the overall bailout. The Federal Reserve and the Treasury have been shoveling huge piles of money into the markets during the past two months through channels that don’t require congressional approval, yet taxpayers have little idea where the money is going or what the government is getting in return.

They then aligned themselves in a human barricade, blocking the media from getting to or interviewing the elderly woman Prop. 8 supporter, Jose Nunez, 37, was brutally assaulted while distributing yard signs to other supporters after church services at the St. Stanislaus Parish in Modesto. Calvary Chapel Chino Hills was spray painted by vandals, after they learned that the church served as an official collection point for Prop 8 petitions. Letters containing white powder (obviously mimicking anthrax) were sent to the Salt Lake City headquarters of the Mormon church and to a temple in Los Angeles. (Thankfully, the FBI, said the substance tested nontoxic.) A 25-year veteran artistic director for the California Musical Theatre, who also happens to be a Mormon, was muscled to resign because of his $1,000 donation to the campaign to ban gay marriage in California. A pro-homosexual, pro-anarchy organization named Bash Back marched into the middle of a church service, flinging flyers and condoms to the congregants and hanging a banner from the balcony that featured two lesbians in provocative positions at the pulpit. And lastly the tolerance-preaching activists have also taken their anger to the blogosphere, where posts have planted ideas like burning churches to storming the citadels of government until our society is forced to overturn Prop 8. You can even find online donor black lists of everyone who financially backed Prop 8 for as little as $46, with the obvious objective that these individuals will be bantered and boycotted for doing so. What’s wrong with this picture? Lots.

The Imam who came forward to assist in the search of Barack Obama’s identity left Kenya secretly last night, and will arrive in the UK this morning. He will meet with a US contact person who will assist him in recording an asylum statement in the UK after handing over the documents that caused the blessing of Obama when he was born and to confirm the origin of the name Hussein.

The man will join relatives in the UK because his life will be in danger if he were to return to Kenya after removing the documents from the Mosque’s archives and taking them out of the country. The man has been informed about the on-going case filed in the US Supreme Court by attorney Philip Berg challenging Barack Obama’s citizenship.

Large military forces alienate local populations, succeed less and cost more

By John Adams Wickham, Special to the Arizona Daily Star

The time may be right for Americans to re-examine our policy to fight insurgencies. For many years, U.S. forces and dollars have been used to fight insurgencies with a big U.S. presence, including large bases, vast storage depots and extensive contractor activities. This approach has produced mixed results.

Local populations have come to view this large footprint as an infringement on sovereignty and believe that it has engendered wider conflict as well as insurgent support.

Given the probability of future insurgenc! ies with the so-called global war on terror, pressures will persist for continued substantial deployments of U.S. forces and expenditures of considerable resources rather than considering potentially effective alternatives.

Obama Admits He Was A British Citizen At Birth (??) (did Leo find the evidence?)

OBAMA ADMITS HE WAS A BRITISH CITIZEN “AT BIRTH” – AS SUCH, OBAMA IS NOT A NATURAL BORN CITIZEN OF THE UNITED STATES

Barack Obama’s official web site, Fight The Smears, admits he was a British Citizen at birth. At the very bottom of the section of his web site that shows an alleged official Certification Of Live Birth, the web site lists the following information and link thereto:

FactCheck.org Clarifies Barack’s Citizenship

“When Barack Obama Jr. was born on Aug. 4,1961, in Honolulu, Kenya was a British colony, still part of the United Kingdom’s dwindling empire. As a Kenyan native, Barack Obama Sr. was a British subject whose citizenship status was governed by The British Nationality Act of 1948. That same act governed the status of Obama Sr.’s children.

A Gunny G Excerpt: “Why The Gun Is Civilization”

A while ago, I posted a little essay called “Why the Gun is Civilization“. It was pretty well received, and got me a lot of positive comments from a variety of people. Some folks asked for permission to reprint and publish the essay in various newsletters and webzines, and I gladly granted it every time, only asking for attribution in return.

Recently, I have noticed my essay pop up on the Internet a lot in various forums, most of which I do not frequent. This in itself causes me no grief, but the reposts are almost invariably attributed to someone who is not me. Some are attributed to a Major L.Caudill, USMC (Ret.), and some are merely marked as “forwarded” by the same person. Others are not attributed at all, giving the impression that the person who posted the essay is also its author.

WHAT TO EXPECT IN 2009 – 2010 By Joe Kress

November 15, 2008

NewsWithViews.com

An Obama supporter asked me what will happen if he is elected? Here is my answer to what I expect will happen within the next two years, if the veto proof majority in Congress is Democrat.

All restrictions by individual states on abortion deleted; abolishment of the Second Amendment; abolishment of Talk radio and TV using equal time on the programs as the means to accomplish it; restrictions on e-mail messaging; classifying the middle class as being rich if income is not just $250,000, but $50,000. V.P. Candidate Joe Biden already announced a reduction from $250,000 as too high an exception and cut the figure to $150,000 and the latest is $100,000 announced by the powerful U.S. House Way and Means Committee Chairman Rep. Charlie Rangel on earned income. The result will be stagnation with no reinvestment by small business – either ma and pa small businesses with much lower income than the larger corporations will not be plowed back.

Higher taxes on earnings of $5 million is also considered small business will cause layoffs and more than likely encourage entrepreneurs to invest in China and India rather than here. The larger foreign corporations will do the same after their small business competition is all but eliminated.

HEY OBAMATRONS! THE YOKE’S ON YOU by Alan Stang

Regular readers and listeners know I have long contended that the Democruds are more fun than the Republicruds. Sure, Republicruds essentially do the same thing, but so blandly that it looks different. I figure that if you are going to h-e-c-k anyway, you may as well enjoy the trip. Illegal alien-elect Hussein certainly does not disappoint; the only thing I did not expect was that the fun would start so soon.

For instance, Change Number One came within twenty-four hours of the (s)election, when Hussein announced his choice as chief-of-staff. He is Israeli hemorrhoid Rahm Emanuel, a little bastard who is one of the few creatures on the planet more obnoxious than the late Republicrud candidate Hussein beat. Yes, the election was just a few days ago, but already I can’t recall his name. Somebody help me out here.

Civilian base employee files federal lawsuit against Camp Lejeune CO(Son killed in Cole attack)

JD News ^ | 11-13-08 | Lindell Kay

Posted on Friday, November 14, 2008 10:32:58 PM by SeafoodGumbo

A Camp Lejeune civilian employee filed a federal lawsuit this week accusing base officials of violating his constitutional rights by requiring him to remove anti-Islamic bumper stickers from his Toyota.

Base officials say numerous complaints compelled them to act, and since Jesse Nieto would not remove his “offensive stickers” they removed his Department of Defense decal instead.

As result, Nieto, a retired Vietnam War veteran who has worked aboard base since 1994, is not able to use his vehicle to visit Arlington National Cemetery, the site where his son was buried after he died in the 2000 terrorist attack on the U.S.S. Cole.

The lawsuit – which targets base commander Col. Richard Flatau and base traffic court officer Lt. Col. James Hessen – challenges the Marine Corps’ actions citing a violation of Nieto’s constitutional rights to freedom of speech and equal protection under the law. The lawsuit was filed earlier this week by Jacksonville attorney Wally Paramore and the Ann Arbor, Mich., Thomas More Law Center in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina.

The Bailout and the Constitution – Written by Patrick Krey

Friday, 14 November 2008 00:52

The $700 billion bank bailout plan will use taxpayer money to purchase troubled assets. How does this stack up against the limited federal powers granted by the Constitution? It is sadly ironic that one of the first things new law students get is a pocket Constitution because, over the next three years, they learn that modern federal laws have nearly nothing to do with what is specifically enumerated in that document. This unconstitutional trend continues with the recent record-setting bailout, which is officially called the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (EESA). The mainstream press reported the political battle over passage of EESA being mainly an issue of whether it would garner enough votes and not whether the federal government is even empowered to do such a thing in the first place. It was rare to even hear any mention of the Constitution in the debate, but there were a few questions asked by true proponents of our founding document. Congressman Ron Paul (R-Texas) questioned the dubious constitutionality of EESA on CNN: “You’re asking people to just totally defy the Constitution because there’s no place in the Constitution that says that we can do these things.” EESA authorizes the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury to spend up to $700 billion to purchase troubled assets, mainly mortgage-backed securities, from the nation’s banks. The Department of the Treasury is an executive department established by an act of Congress in 1789. Executive departments are authorized, by reference, within the Constitution in Article 2, Section 2, Clause 1, where it says the president “may require the Opinion, in writing, of the principal Officer in each of the executive Departments, upon any Subject relating to the Duties of their respective Offices,” and in Clause 2 regarding the appointment power of inferior officers by “the Heads of Departments.” The Constitution does not contain any specific grants of powers to these departments. As part of the federal government, they face the same constitutional restraints, although constitutional restraints on government have been in a steady state of decline for quite some time. Throughout the years the Supreme Court has ruled on the powers and limits of executive departments. However, as with the rest of the federal government, the court has found that executive departments have plenty of power and very few limits. So, is EESA constitutional? Lawyer Robert A. Levy, of the Cato Institute, answers with a resounding no. In his October 20 Legal Times article “Is the Bailout Constitutional?” he writes: “The federal government has no constitutional authority to spend taxpayers’ money to buy distressed assets, much less to take an ownership position in private financial institutions.” The Constitution’s commerce clause — which authorizes Congress to “regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and the Indian Tribes” — has been used to justify vast increases in the power of the federal government. Consequently, arguments in favor of EESA might employ a broad reading of the commerce clause to defend the act’s constitutionality. But Levy disagrees with that idea as well: “The commerce power is to ‘regulate,’ but commerce is not regulated by eliminating private risk and substituting tax-funded handouts to favored economic actors. The Framers who crafted the commerce clause could not have intended to empower Congress to give an executive official virtual carte blanche over all financial institutions.”

A New Political Party Is Needed By Joel S. Hirschhorn

A New Political Party Is Needed
By Joel S. Hirschhorn

November 14, 2008 “Information Clearinghouse” — Set aside any Obama euphoria you feel. The other important news is that third-party presidential candidates had a miserable showing this year, totaling just over one percent of the grand total with 1.5 million votes nationwide, compared to some 123 million votes for Barack Obama and John McCain.

It couldnt be clearer that Americans are not willing to voice their political discontent by voting for third-party presidential candidates. The two-party duopoly and plutocracy is completely dominant. The US lacks the political competition that exists in other western democracies. Without real political competition there is nsufficient political choice.

Alan Keyes

The California secretary of state should refuse to allow the state’s 55 Electoral College votes to be cast in the 2008 presidential election until President-elect Barack Obama verifies his eligibility to hold the office, alleges a California court petition filed on behalf of former presidential candidate Alan Keyes and others.

The legal action today is just the latest is a series of challenges, some of which have gone as high as the U.S. Supreme Court, over the issue of Obama’s status as a “natural-born citizen,” a requirement set by the U.S. Constitution.

Obama Quickly Using Executive Powers

Obama Quickly Using Executive Powers
The Bulletin ^ | Stephen Ohlemacher | Stephen Ohlemacher

Washington – President-elect Barack Obama plans to use his executive powers to make an immediate impact when he takes office, perhaps reversing Bush administration policies on stem cell research and domestic drilling for oil and natural gas.

John Podesta, Mr. Obama’s transition chief, said yesterday Mr. Obama is reviewing President Bush’s executive orders on those issues and others as he works to undo policies enacted during eight years of Republican rule. He said the president can use such orders to move quickly on his own.

“There’s a lot that the president can do using his executive authority without waiting for congressional action, and I think we’ll see the president do that,” Mr. Podesta said. “I think that he feels like he has a real mandate for change. We need to get off the course that the Bush administration has set.”

It’s been a week and a half since Barack Obama was elected president. He won’t take office for another two months. But he’s already got one big group of Americans on their feet.

What is Barack Obama’s position on the right to bear arms? Sen. Obama’s campaign Web site says he “respects the constitutional rights of Americans to bear arms.” It promises he will “protect the rights of hunters and other law-abiding Americans to purchase, own, transport and use guns.”

Seeking to reassure gun owners, Mr. Obama told a campaign audience in Ohio in October: “I will not take your shotgun away. I will not take your rifle away. I won’t take your handgun away.”

Fight To Reveal Obama’s Birth Certificate Continues
By John P. Connolly, The Bulletin

Two of the plaintiffs in court cases against Sen. Barack Obama, the president-elect, are working to move their cases forward before his presidential inauguration.

Philip J. Berg, the attorney who filed suit against Mr. Obama challenging him to produce his original birth certificate to prove he meets the constitutional requirements to serve as U.S. president. Mr. Berg filed a Writ of Certiorari in the U.S. Supreme Court late in October, in an effort to force Mr. Obama to produce the document.

Accordingly, the U.S. Supreme Court has said that Mr. Obama, the DNC and all co-defendants are to respond to the writ, on or before Dec. 1.

Our opponents, the Socialist Democrats, have considered themselves at war with America for a very long time. Obama has been careful to candy coat it with words like “hope” and “change,” and to obscure the clear intentions of his radical allies. Their hatred of us is palpable in their literature and their public comments. From Noam Chomsky to Keith Olbermann and everyone in between, there is a malevolent nihilism in all they do, a destructive urge that seeks to undermine all that has come before–culture, history, religion, tradition, custom, honor, even morality. The voice of the progressive post-modern devil whispers in their ear, “There is no truth, there is no right and wrong, there is only power.”

NO BAILOUT FOR DETROIT By Jon Christian Ryter

Socialist President-elect Barack Hussein Obama who campaigned on message of “change,” promising the downtrodden masses that he would be their Robin Hood—taking from the rich and giving to the working class. Instead, he has torn another page from the FDR playbook and is about to reincarnate sitting president George W. Bush into a 21st century Herbert Hoover, letting Bush take the blame for bailing out Detroit before he leaves office. This will allow Obama to take the socialist high ground and rail against Big Business Republicans, further damaging the GOP’s chances of regaining seats in the midterm election of 2010.

Hume reported the false apology story which was also picked up in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, then they corrected by posting Broun’s remarks DENYING any apology or recant of the “Marxist” charges.

Hume has been caught not keeping up with Broun’s official comments and broadcasting misinformation.

DESPERATE BIG PHARMA PUSHING TO DOUBLE STATIN SALES By Byron J. Richards, CCN

November 12, 2008
NewsWithViews.com

In the face of overwhelming negative science the statin marketing machine marches on, now suggesting that statins should be given to middle aged men and women even though they don’t have elevated cholesterol. Apparently there is a critical mass of Big Pharma backed statin-pushers who have hoodwinked a nation under the false pretense of cardiovascular health and are now ready to go for the jugular. I have a few questions for any statin believers who happen to read this article: “If statins are so great then why does your liver see them as a poison that must be detoxified? Did your liver forget to read the American Heart Association’s press release?”

It is my opinion that statins do little more than put your cardiovascular system in a wheelchair, especially when combined with other troublesome medications like blood pressure pills. There is a reason that the more aggressively these medications are used, especially with diabetics, the faster people die. It is a sad commentary on modern medicine that their best efforts to promote quality of cardiovascular health in the over 50 crowd is a collection of de-energizing and de-pressurizing anti-survival medications that have the net result of treating every person so managed as if they are Humpty Dumpty about ready to fall off a cardiovascular cliff.

“WHY WOMEN ARE SO CRAZY” A BOOK REVIEW by Alan Stang

November 13, 2008
NewsWithViews.com

[Announcement: Did you know Alan Stang has a new radio show? Click here for details.]

The title is Why Women Are So Crazy: Not In Their Place (Houston, Patton House, 2008). Like one of my other books, Scumbags I Have Known and Other Profundities, this new one is a compendium of magazine pieces I have done on the subject for years. They originally appeared here and elsewhere around the vast internet. Now I have assembled and expanded them so you will have everything in one place.

The book is about the worst thing that has ever happened to our country, the worst thing the conspiracy has done to us, worse even than Lincoln’s Communist War to Destroy the Union, worse than all the wars the conspirators have tricked us into, worse than Nine Eleven, worse than the recent, completely engineered collapse of our economy, worse than the invasion of illegal aliens they are conducting, even worse than the conspiracy’s attempt to submerge our country in a world government and the election of an illegal alien as President.

UNPRECEDENTED RAPE OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE UNDERWAY IN DC PART 1 of 2 By: Devvy

© 2008 – NewsWithViews.com

Rape is an ugly word usually attributed to an attack on a woman. It also means an act of plunder, violent seizure, or abuse; despoliation; violation: the rape of the countryside.

There is no other word to describe what has been happening in Washington, DC., for the past two and a half months. The so-called bail out of lending institutions and banks has turned into a free for all that is mind boggling, already running in the TRILLIONS with no end in sight. As the layers have been unfolding over the past few weeks, only someone in complete denial can say with a straight face that this unconstitutional looting of the people’s labor has been anything but mass rape.

The Fed is thumbing their nose at Congress: Nov. 10 (Bloomberg) — “The Federal Reserve is refusing to identify the recipients of almost $2 trillion of emergency loans from American taxpayers or the troubled assets the central bank is accepting as collateral. Fed Chairman Ben S. Bernanke and Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson said in September they would comply with congressional demands for transparency in a $700 billion bailout of the banking system. Two months later, as the Fed lends far more than that in separate rescue programs that didn’t require approval by Congress, Americans have no idea where their money is going or what securities the banks are pledging in return.”

Congress foolishly gave the privately owned “FED” and Treasury total power with the bail out deal and now they’re getting their noses rubbed in it. Lending institutions who received all this borrowed, worthless paper called a ‘bail out’ or ‘rescue plan’ are spending the sweat off your back like there’s no tomorrow on big bonuses and lavish events, while Congress sits around scratching their backsides. Congress has let the genie out of the bottle and they’re now running around like the nitwits they are trying to shore up this disaster of their own making.

Congress never had the authority to to rob and plunder the people’s empty purse for what has turned into a never ending bail out bonanza. Congress has no right to steal from you via heavier and heavier taxation to bail out, rescue or make loans to companies in the private sector. Well, that is until Congress, with the blessing of Bush, simply decided a little over two months ago to finally burn Art. 1, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution. They have become totally lawless with zero restraints on their actions.

THE SELECTION OF COMRADE OBAMA By: Lynn Stuter

November 11, 2008

NewsWithViews.com

Election 2008 is finally over. Most Americans are rejoicing that the endless barrage of nauseatingly stupid campaign ads have finally, I mean finally, disappeared from their television screens. The collective sigh of relief was truly universal no matter the political persuasion.

In a history-making moment, it was revealed to Americans who their next president would be: Barack Hussein Obama. The charade was accompanied by television coverage of people dancing in the streets across the United States.

Many believe he was elected. The rest know he was (s)elected. There have been a few clues along the way; some more obvious than others.

One of the first clues was the attitude of the mainstream media. Their bias toward Barack Hussein Obama has been so obvious as to be in-your-face. There is a lot about Barack Hussein Obama that should have been revealed to the public by the mainstream media were they doing their job. Barack Obamas connections to Marxist organizations like the Industrial Areas Foundation, ACORN, Midwest Academy, Students for a Democratic Society and the Black Panthers were never revealed by the mainstream media; any of them. Nor was the fact that Frank Marshall Davis, poet, journalist, and member of the Communist Party USA, admitted mentor and advisor to Obama, ever touched on by the mainstream media. Obamas association with Reverend Jeremiah Wright, Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, and Weatherman Underground member William Ayers were downplayed when they should have been investigated and reported on.

Nor has the mainstream media, to this day, reported on the growing concern that Barack Hussein Obama is not an American by birth; also the fact that he was adopted by his stepfather and became an Indonesian citizen; excluding him from eligibility to seek the office of president of the United States. Many people believe the government vetted the candidates for eligibility. But who says they really did; who made sure they did? If anyone in any agency of the United States government vetted Obama or McCain for eligibility, why havent they come forward and said so? A judge in California threw out a lawsuit filed to remove McCain from the California ballot. In his opinion, the judge indicates that the question of eligibility of candidates must come in the form of an objection in Congress at the time of the counting of the electoral votes.

Nor did the mainstream media report on the poll intimidation that occurred on November 4th, one incident of many being in Philadelphia where two black men, dressed in Black Panther attire, one carrying a billy club, were filmed outside a Philadelphia polling place. The intent was obviously to intimidate white voters arriving to cast their vote. Racial slurs concerning “white supremacy” were allegedly made. The Black Panther carrying the billy club was escorted off the premises by police called to the scene; the other one was allowed to stay. This was but one instance that occurred. Were this type of conduct not the modus operandi of organizations like the IAF and ACORN, the SDS and Black Panthers, if they were not the tactics taught by organizations like the Midwest Academy, we could easily say that they dont represent the president elect, but Barack Hussein Obamas affiliations with these organizations does not speak well of him, and does not set well with many Americans.

More Fish Cops, Less Liberty

More Fish Cops, Less Liberty

www.flyoverpress.com
 
Back in February of 2007, I wrote about an encounter I had with one of the State’s Game Keepers (See Liberty v. Fish Cops and Federalies). I am sad to report that the situation in the police state has deteriorated substantially since that time.
 
Some time between 4:30 and 5:00 PM on Friday, November 7, 2008 my wife and I arrived at the entrance to the property in Terrell County, Texas referred in the 2007 article cited above. The entrance to our private road (belonging to the property owners association) is off of US Highway 90 approximately 5 miles south of the small town of Sanderson, Texas. The gate is normally kept locked. 
 
My wife had been driving on the highway. As we normally do, we stopped just inside the gate to switch drivers, stretch our legs, “water the dog,” etc. The wife had walked on up the road with the dog (a small Chihuahua-Terrier cross named “Nemo” by a grand child). I had busied myself with adjusting the seat to suit my longer legs, closing the doors and preparing to continue our journey. We had not yet shut and locked the gate.
 
Suddenly, a green pick-up truck with the markings of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Service entered the gate and stopped behind our vehicle (a short-bed, step side, GMC pick-up loaded with tools, lumber and animal feed). The driver (a uniformed Game Warden) exited the state vehicle and approached. We exchanged the standard greetings; “How are you?” “Fine, thank you.”

COMRADE BARAK OBAMA IS NOT AMERICA’S NEXT PRESIDENT By: Devvy

A WARNING FOR AMERICA FROM SOUTH AFRICA by Alan Stang

November 6, 2008
NewsWithViews.com

[Announcement: Did you know Alan Stang has a new radio show? Click here for details.]

I read this warning on my daily radio talk show last week, before the election. It is even more relevant now, because the same thing that was imposed on South Africa – by the United States – is now happening here. So many people have asked for a copy of this message from a South African journalist that I post it here. My comments on her comments are in bold. Of course the parallels cannot be exact, but see whether you recognize any of this.

By Gemma Meyer (Gemma Meyer is the pseudonym of a South African journalist. She and her husband, a former conservative member of parliament, still reside in South Africa.)

People used to say that South Africa was 20 years behind the rest of the Western world. Television, for example, came late to South Africa (but so did pornography and the gay rights movement).

Today, however, South Africa may be the grim model of the future Western world, for events in America reveal trends chillingly similar to those that destroyed our country.

America’s structures are Western. Your Congress, your lobbying groups, your free speech, and the way ordinary Americans either get involved or ignore politics are peculiarly Western, not the way most of the world operates. But the fact that only about a third of Americans deem it important to vote is horrifying in light of how close you are to losing your Western character.

Gunny G: The Revolutions of 1848….

The European Revolutions of 1848, known in some countries as the Spring of Nations or the Year of Revolution, were a series of political upheavals throughout the European continent. Described by some historians as a revolutionary wave, the period of unrest began on 12 January 1848 in Sicily and then, further propelled by the French Revolution of 1848, soon spread to the rest of Europe.

Although most of the revolutions were quickly put down, there was a significant amount of violence in many areas, with tens of thousands of people tortured and killed. While the immediate political effects of the revolutions were reversed, the long-term reverberations of the events were far-reaching.

Barack Obama and the Citizenship Scandal – Written by Kurt Williamsen

It has been alleged that presidential aspirant Barack Obama is ineligible to become president because, it is claimed, he was not born in the United States, but rather born in Kenya to a Kenyan father, making him a Kenyan citizen. The story has gained credence for several reasons. His paternal grandmother in Kenya has reportedly been audiotaped saying that she was in the delivery room when Obama was born. Obama has refused to release an official birth certificate. Instead he has released a “certification of live birth,” which not only shows evidence of tampering — Obama’s half-sister’s name Maia appears under his name — but wouldn’t normally be considered a legal document anyway. Further, Obama will not release his medical records or his records from Occidental or Harvard College. It is speculated that he will not release these records because they indicate he is not a citizen and may, in fact, have applied for some type of U.S. government aid for foreign students. These are the accusations that lifelong Democrat and former Democratic candidate for office Philip Berg has made in the case Philip J. Berg v. Barack Obama, et al. Berg, a former deputy attorney general of Pennsylvania, further alleges that even if Obama were born in the United States, when Obama’s mother was remarried, she moved to Indonesia with her new husband and renounced her and Barack’s U.S. citizenship. The basis for this claim is the fact that Obama was enrolled in school for four years in Indonesia, and the government required (during the time Obama was there) that one had to be a citizen of Indonesia and renounce citizenship in other countries in order to attend school.

This is a real teaching alternative for pro-Southern parents (and others as well).

Are you tired of politically correct “histories” dealing with the War of Northern Aggression and its causes? Do you want to learn about the true causes, actual events, and the people involved?

TWO STEPS FORWARD, ONE STEP BACKWARD By Betty Freauf

Unless we have an unexpected upset on the November 4th presidential race, it would appear that the race is over. As I draft this article, that’s how the pollsters see it. That is how the Barack’s liberal media is reporting it. Many who will vote for Barack believe we are a flawed “Amerika” that they hate. The secular community has this Utopian vision that Barack truly is our savior and our nation needs saving.

If Barack loses it’s been reported he has 5,000 lawyers in the wings waiting to file lawsuits claiming GOP voter fraud. With such high expectations by the Obama crowd, will there be problems after the election if he loses? The National Guard and the military have been put on alert. A former Hillary Clinton supporter and now an alleged whistleblower from the Obama camp says voters shouldn’t believe what the media is telling about how horrible a choice Sarah Palin was. Barack’s advisors do not have a clue of how to handle her so they pick on her $150,000 wardrobe and her speech. Old Democrat President Harry Truman used to say, “It doesn’t matter how big a ranch ya’ own, or how many cows ya’ brand, the size of your funeral is still gonna depend on the weather.” The standard operating procedure by the Obama campaign has been to cry “racism.”

Radio host Glenn Beck on 10/31/2008 played a clip from the 1960s when then Agriculture Secretary, Ezra Taft Benson at the behest of President Dwight Eisenhower met with Nikita Khrushchev. Following is the transcript:

Who Is Barack Obama? Jim Kirwan

This man came from nowhere backed by the same sponsors that shaped the star-crossed career of the war criminal, Henry Kissinger. Obama is someone that cannot be subjected to direct debates wherein the contestants face each other and ask direct questions of each other’the new political machine saw to that’and Obama did not deviate from their instructions.

OBAMA OR McCAIN: WHICH ONE IGNITES THE INESCAPABLE BACKFIRE? By Frosty Wooldridge

““After the election, it is you who will be a minority here,” Perez said. “Think of it: Your own government’s statistics indicate there are 12 million of what you call “illegals” living in what you call “America”. However, we both know that figure is easily triple, but your complicit officials try to hide the truth. Once our beloved Obama is sworn in, he has promised La Raza licenses, increased benefits, and an accelerated path to citizenship for our oppressed brethren. This will open the floodgates and tens of millions of people will crash the gates and demand their rights. So a conservative figure will be say 100 million Hispanics within 10 years. There are already well over 80 million of us here, so now you are talking about 180 million plus the 45 million Negroes who are basically illiterate animals who will vote as the Democrats tell them. Together we will vote every racist honkey out of office and assume control of every local, state, and federal institution. White racists will be made to feel as welcome as the plague. The best thing you can do for yourself and your family is to scurry off to Europe. You are not wanted here. Cheers!”

Is the American public catatonic, or–apathetic beyond comprehension? No one forced the ‘immigration—hyper-population growth’ issue into the debates. Americans sat on their rear-ends without a whisper concerning an issue portending grave, immediate societal ramifications in 2010 and 2020 and 2030. For starters, imagine your ruptured American culture as dinner conversation by 2020.

This country suffers a disconnect from reality that baffles me beyond understanding.

No matter which man gains the White House, both McCain and Obama supported bequeathing amnesty to 20 to 30 million illegal aliens in 2007 by voting for S.B 1639. Even more distressing, that bill doubled legal immigration from 1.2 annually to 2.4 million annually.

Before I get into the massive vote fraud and what ALL of us must do the day after this gigantic hoax tomorrow, I would like to give an update on the lawsuits regarding Obama’s citizenship status. First, Berg v Obama, et al. Phil’s web site has had more than 86 MILLION hits since he filed. The day after Phil Berg filed an ‘Application to Justice Souter for an Immediate Injunction to Stay the Presidential Election of November 4, 2008′ and Writ of Certiorari with the U.S. Supreme Court, a news wire story flashed around the world, Oct. 31, 2008:
