Liberal defenders of Obama in full retreat on Birth Certificate
Progressives now say US Born requirement for Presidency should be abolished...
All of a sudden, the issue of concientious objecter Major Stefan Cook has thrust the Obama birth certificate issue into the national limelight. It’s moved from so-called “fringe” blogs and news websites such as World Net Daily, Free Republic, Gateway Pundit, Atlas Shrugs and Libertarian Republican, into the mainstream media. On Monday Fox News did a segment on it for their 5:00 pm News Hour. CNN’s Lou Dobbs covered the story yesterday. And even CBS and the LA Times have done articles on it. And today, another Big Enchillada of the Liberal Media: National Public Radio...
[Of course, -most- misunderstand the real issue, that of being qualified as a "natural born citizen" as required by the Constitution; rather than whether Obongo is 'citizen' or not...Did he really enroll at Occidental as a foreign born student, for instance?

Chairman Obama: 'Time for Talking is Over' But I Have No Idea What's in This Bill
Just in case you have any illusions that the health care reform Obama's pushing is meant to be constructed with anything other than reckless abandon and just enough haste and favors to get the government-run plan running for the "greater good," enjoy these tidbits from last night's conference call with liberal bloggers. First, as the boss pointed out this morning (in a blog post that may soon be making its appearance in a White House press briefing), Obama thinks the "time for talk is through."

Seniors Who Put Obama in Office Will Lose the Most
As Obama continues to press his plan for federally-mandated healthcare that clearly is meant to morph into a single-payer, socialist healthcare program, those who have the most to lose should face the fact that they elected him by staying home last November.

Our American way of life is being destroyed [Letter]
Wake up, folks, we're going over a cliff like migrating lemmings. We are losing the American way of life that was a model for all the industrialized countries on the planet. The Obama administration has been feeding us the best of political prestidigitation.

While they focus our attention with feel-good rhetoric, they are dragging our country into Third World status by doing things completely at odds with what they say. The nonsense that "We saved 100,000 jobs" should be "We have lost only 2 million jobs instead of 2 million and 100,000."...

"What country can preserve its liberties if its rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them."
