Grifters on Parade

The nearly simultaneous exposure of the false claims of Elizabeth Warren to Cherokee ancestry and Obama's to Kenyan nationality is an example of two events that are not quite a pure coincidence. While each of these episodes is causally unrelated, what we're seeing is the same process working itself out in two distinct cases.

As all the world knows, an author's bio written in the early '90s stated that Barack Obama was born in Kenya. There is little or no possibility that it was printed without his knowledge. (One of the similarities between the two cases is that the institutions involved simply repeated what the principals said.) The bio made the Kenya claim because that's what Obama told its fabricators to put down. Furthermore, the claim was allowed to stand for over a decade, being edited out only in 2006.

So what are we to make of this? With anyone else, the case would be open and shut. But as we've come to learn regarding Obama, there are always layers beneath layers, going all the way down to the level of the fabled turtle that holds everything up. While Obama could have made the claim because it was true...

I also suspect that Warren is finished. She has become a punchline, something no politician can afford. And Obama?

Claiming that you're a foreigner is not an impeachable offense, not even illegal, as such. But it is perfectly in line with the squalid personality and record of our hustler president. He has failed as a leader, he has failed as a statesman, and he is now failing as a fraud. It's really too bad he didn't choose to present himself as, say, a quarter Cherokee. Was it something about the cheekbones?

The records held by the U.S. Federal Government supercede the records held by the State of Hawaii or any other state. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has Obama’s Certificate of Naturalization on file.

A naturalized U.S. citizen has all the rights and privileges of any other U.S. citizen, except a naturalized U.S. citizen is ineligible to be POTUS.

It is now time for me to reassert my claim to be the LEAST politically correct natural born American citizen in the nation.
1. I am a six foot four inch, two hundred & fifty plus pound Caucasian male, descended on the paternal side from the Norman conquerors of England at the battle of Hastings.
2. I am descended from confederate veterans on both sides of the family even though it appears that neither side had enough money to afford any slaves.
3. I was born and raised within ten miles of the first secession meeting held in the state of South Carolina, the “Cradle of the Confederacy” and I think all the Yankees who poke fun at those of us who are blessed by God to speak with a Southern accent should learn to pronounce the word saw, I have noticed that many cannot do so.
4. I was baptized in a mill pond at the age of twelve by a Southern Baptist preacher who thought that dancing to the newly popular rock and roll music by such luminaries as Elvis, Chuck Berry, Bill Haley etc. was a certain path to hell.
5. I went straight from a public high school into the USN and managed to get an honorable discharge.
6. I have NEVER voted for a democrat for president, subtract points for the fact that I did vote for Senator Foghorn Leghorn once.
7. I am a heterosexual married male, I don’t have any boyfriends or even girlfriends on the side.
8. I used to drink like a thirsty camel and I used to be a heavy smoker. Subtract points for the fact that I quit smoking long ago (at three packs a day I figured it was either quit or die before my fortieth birthday)and I have never made moonshine even though I do still take a shot of bourbon on rare occasions.
9. I consider the Democratic party to have been created by the Prince of Darkness, I think the GOP is only slightly better.
10. I think Al Gore is about as useless a piece of trash as could ever be found on the planet and anyone who takes his climate theory seriously should immediately check into a home for the mentally helpless.
I can go on, do I win?
