New Obama 2012 Campaign Flyer: "I was born in Hawaii to a Single Mother..."This flyer is currently being shared / "re-shared" on Facebook. I am curious as to where it originated and thought it might interest my fellow freepers. I have only posted once or twice.. long ago, so 'bare' with me. ;) The text reads: "I was born in Hawaii to a single mother. I was raised in Kansas by my two loving grandparents. I went to Harvard Law School and became a community organizer in Chicago. My story is one told a million times over in this country;...

Now comes citizen Newt, clear of voice, deepened in his determination to tackle an issue that is basically his alone to tout; because unlike his leading rival Romney who can not get his arms around something that he can’t take two different positions on; Newt is the real solid constitutional deal. Iowa is not the only state where this should be stirring some turbulent political waters. Conservatives in states like South Carolina, Florida, Ohio, Nevada, Arizona, Colorado, and Michigan, as well as other GOP political king making states, should be taking careful notes. Core values issues like preserving life, a...

Looks Tough Firing Blanks If you're a Tea Party member, or you have significant sympathies with them, I'd caution you against climbing aboard Rick Perry's TransTexasCatastrophe. The Media is doing everything possible to paint this guy as a bronc-busting, cattle-roping, Texan, but in truth, there are more than a few things you ought to know about him. He's no friend to individual rights, except in an election season, and he's not really the trend-setter he'd have you believe. His record on jobs isn't actually so swift as he'd have you believe, and he's got less in common with the average...

A vacationing U.S. President Barack Obama accused Congress on Saturday of holding back the U.S. economic recovery by blocking "common sense" measures he said would create jobs and help growth. In remarks recorded on Wednesday on his campaign-style bus tour in Illinois and aired during his holiday in Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, Obama said the stalled construction, trade and payroll tax bills could give a boost to the economy. "The only thing preventing us from passing these bills is the refusal by some in Congress to put country ahead of party. That's the problem right now. That's what's holding this country...

Extra credit: How many amendment have been repealed?

Rick Perry has many ideas about how to change the American government's founding document. From ending lifetime tenure for federal judges to completely scrapping two whole amendments, the Constitution would see a major overhaul if the Texas governor and Republican presidential candidate had his druthers. Perry laid out these proposed innovations to the founding document in his book, Fed Up! Our Fight to Save America from Washington. He has occasionally mentioned them on the campaign trail. Several of his ideas fall within the realm of mainstream conservative thinking today, but, as you will see, there are also a few surprises.

For those interested in history and willing to dig a little, it’s not difficult to find proof that America’s heritage is not only Christian, but that our founders were profoundly Christian in their beliefs. The proof is in their personal writings and in the documents they signed that formed the basis for how we, as a nation, are governed. I came across a very interesting podcast recently. It was actually something that aired on Focus on the Family’s daily radio program June 30 and July 1 in advance of America’s Independence Day holiday, which for 150 years was actually a...

Let's face the ugly truth: there is a movement in this country to diminish the weight of the United States Constitution, the very basis of our liberties and the most successful framework of governance int he history of mankind. It stands in the way of the dreams of statists, and for that reason, is under attack.The latest journalistic assault on the Constitution came from Richard Stengel, managing editor of Time Magazine, in a cover story (!) last week, that was nothing less than disgraceful and laughable. Mark J, Fitzgibbons wrote a quick blog for AT debunking the story, but now...

  The Fourth of July may be just a holiday for fireworks to some people. But it was a momentous day for the history of this country and the history of the world.Not only did July 4, 1776 mark American independence from England, it marked a radically different kind of government from the governments that prevailed around the world at the time — and the kinds of governments that had prevailed for thousands of years before.The American Revolution was not simply a rebellion against the King of England, it was a rebellion against being ruled by kings in general....

Can the US Congress "arrest" and "detain" members of the other 3 branches of US Government? Also Is there a detainment facility w/in the US Capitol Bldg Complex for this?

The American founding father and second President, John Adams, said that "The American Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other". Some foreign countries have tried adopting the US Constitution to govern their nations, but the process has been a disastrous failure. This is because those nations were not founded on bibilical Christianity. When you reflect on it, the idea of the First Ammendment is potentially dangerous. It gives everyone the right to shout the F-word in public, in the presence of children. The second ammendment provides even...

Robert Stanley, weekly correspondent for the Washington Times investigative radio, states that the purported birth certificate released by U.S. President Barack H. Obama on April 27, 2011 is a forensic forgery...Mr. Stanley reported the breaking news regarding the forensic fraud in Mr. Obama's newly released birth certificate on Washington Times investigative radio's America's Morning News while being interviewed by reporters John McCaslin and Amy Holmes, also a commentator for CNN.

This is the latest in a series on the use of the race card for political gain: Donald Trump has pushed the issue of Barack Obama's birthplace and citizenship back onto the front pages. I'm not going to revisit the merits of the issue, but I will note the continuing tendency to treat any questions as to the issue of Obama's eligibility as inherently a reflection of racism. This time from Leonard Pitts, Jr., writing in the Detroit Free Press (emphasis mine): "So it is time to call this birther nonsense what it is -- not just claptrap, but profoundly...

Just who or what authorized in the 1700s the US Constitutional Convention and what or who authorized the disestablishemnt of the Articles of Confederation?

BOSTON FUNDRAISER: http://dyn.politico.com/members/forums/thread.cfm?catid=15&subcatid=52&threadid=5177270 ________________________ ________________________ - President Obama addressed a group of 152 Democratic donors at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. The walls were lined with enormous original oil portraits from the 16th century and guests are seated around about 24 round tables. Obama was introduced by Rep. Ed Markey, who called Obama the “true fulfillment” of JFK and Martin Luther King Jr.’s dream for America. In welcoming Nancy Pelosi, Obama called her “someone who’s going to go down as one of the greatest Speakers in our history: Nancy Pelosi.” “When the rubble had cleared, when the dust...

Cannot believe that dolt holds public office!

I'm sick of the County Communist Leaders lying about why Sheriff Stanton has ordered armed plain-clothes deputies who look, sound and act like the morons that they truly are into these public meetings. Their mouthpiece Jim Spering is lying and uses the after the fact lying pretext / justification of it's because he saw a swastika drawn on the back of a speakers sign in-card on Jan 25th---the very same day we served the Supes with Letters protesting the unexplained presence of the cops at the meetings since early Janurary! I show video from Jan 11th of 2 cops and...

The Obama administration plans to continue with implementation of ObamaCare despite recent rulings by two federal district judges that it is unconstitutional, despite lawsuits to block it by more than half of all states, and despite polls showing that 60 percent of Americans want it repealed. This is the most recent example of the arrogant notion that elected representatives are not required to operate within the bounds established by the Constitution or act on behalf of the people who elected them. The federal government has increasingly assumed unlimited powers and acted against the will of the people. When they can't...

As Texas, along with much of the nation, digs out from another "global warming snowstorm," we dubiously noted the small glacier that had miraculously appeared atop Texas Stadium, no less. Unfortunately, the stately glacier chose to become a hazardous ice floe which predictably crashed down upon a number of unsuspecting workers injuring six, all of which will undoubtably be ascribed to "global warming." This prompted us to note what Meteorologist Joe Bastardi exclaimed which leant a certain "gotcha" to the entire global warming crowd. Barstardi said, in essence, that no matter what happens in the world of weather the global...

See Ezra, See Ezra and Nora Talk, See Ezra and Nora Get Confused... Ezra Klein, a very popular Liberal blogger who also writes for the Washington Post, finally made us all cognizant of the exact reason for his extreme popularity--as it regards the increasingly mind-numbed, diminutively numbered, Liberal automatons of the Nation. In a televised interview with Progressive info-babe Nora O' Donnell on the "Lean Forward and to the Left" network MSNBC, Klein was asked his opinion of the impending public reading of the Constitution in the House. Klein responded that the reading was, indeed, "a gimmick" that "had no...
