Maybe they could teach how politicians have been shredding this document year after year. I don't know why they don't just burn the thing and right up a "Little Red Book".

Joe Flint, you the man!

OK, I had never heard of Orly Taitz nor of the "Kenya" birth certificate [1]. I went and did something that will shock some of you: I educated myself about it.

Now, I never put much stock in PT Barnum's most famous phrase, nor was I a big fan of Herrnstein & Murray's tome. I may be forced to rethink my position.

Ann Coulter, Sarah Palin, Karl Rove, Pat Buchanan, Michael Leahy, just for starters, believe that it is a forgery.

It is so obviously a forgery that basic FACTS utterly destroy its supposed authenticity. The "document" is dated, quite clearly, 17 February 1964 and the supposed seal is that of the Republic of Kenya.

Except, the Republic did not exist until eleven months later. For almost all of 1964, the official name was the Dominion of Kenya.

Then I poke around for just five more minutes and discover considerable evidence that indicates this is a forgery of an Australian birth certificate.

You're trying to tell us that a dentist from Laguna Beach, California -- the land of fruit and nuts -- found something the following vetting processes did not?

The state election board in Illinois when Obama ran as a state representative.

That the Federal Election Board ignored when he ran for both US Senate and POTUS.

That the Democratic and Republican National Committees both ignored at the start of his POTUS run?

That John McCain, who has had a long-standing ambition to be the POTUS (having run for President in 2008 and 2000 and was on the short list for VP in 1996), did not pursue any legal avenues against Obama during the campaign based on citizenship eligibility?

That Hillary Clinton, who arguably "wanted" the Presidency more than McCain, ignored?

Are you serious? I mean, really, are you serious? Occam's Razor alone cuts you to pieces.

This [2] is the woman into whom you are putting so much faith?

Pete, the web-site http://www.orlytaitzesq.com/ doesn't make any sense as it states that Obama has spent millions to hide his birth certificate, but a quick internet search brings up a scanned copy. Two local newspapers from Honolulu also have record of his birth announcement in 1961. What more evidence is required? I suppose you could say its all fabricated and part of the conspiracy, but where's the evidence for that?

ACORN or big pharma, oil, defense contractors? hhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm I chose the first one.

Pete, I've heard of arguments about Obama being born in Indonesia, but Kenya? Where do you folks get your info?

Yeah, Obama should really be proud of his association with Acorn!!!! That is the type of stuff we have to look forward to with this administration.

Don't forget to read it first!

STAND UP FOR THE CONSTITUTION
Don't be Tardy for the Party!

I too would like to hear why there was no conservative backlash to W's deficit spending.

Why also was there no hue and cry from the right about the Department of Homeland Security -- the largest expanse of government since Johnson's Great Society which receives nearly triple NASA's funding -- nor about domestic surveillance? "Rugged individualism" indeed.

These are, of course, rhetorical questions. People either outright left the party in disgust (pun intended) or sat out various elections, often hoping that Republicans would still win and somehow regain their sanity and return to their professed planks of smaller government and smaller taxes.

I voted for W in 2000; he was not a compelling candidate, neither was Gore.

It was fiscal policy first followed by the loss of sane dialog from the Republicans that drove me away from a party of which I had once been a proud member.

I see no compelling reason yet to return to the fold.

While Obama has put us in debt, it is not wrong to ask where were the tea parties when the Republicans were running up deficits? I would love to hear the conservative explanation.

As to the federal government's involvement in affairs not granted to it by the constitution the answer is simple: money! Why did Wisconsin change the drinking age to 21? To get highway funds. The fed will only give states money if they abide by the rules set by the federal government. You don't HAVE to participate in No Child Left Behind, but then you won't get federal funds, which the states cannot live without.

> Obama & Chairman Mao Zedong of China have simular historys. [sic]

Wow. I shouldn't but I have to... let's contrast...

Mao:
- Born to peasants in 1893 in a declining empire
- Han Chinese
- Buddhist
- Enlisted during the 1911 Revolution
- Studied informally after high school
- Did not venture outside his home province until he 25
- Rarely traveled abroad
- Developed Communist worldview around age 30
- Strong interest in the political system, encouraged by his father
- Repeatedly organized millions of peasants, often to arms
- Began installing political officers in military units after the Autumn Harvest Uprising
- Slaughtered ~25% of his own army
- Financed and propped up by the Soviets
- "Led" one side of a civil war; assumed control through violence
- Sent a million poorly armed peasants into Korea
- Played a personal role in ordering mass executions
- Violently redistributed land and wealth
- Frequently purged his own government
- Led China from scattered centers of power to global power
- Ruled China for 27 years
- Ultimately responsible for 40-70 million deaths within his own country (~10% of pop.)

Obama:
- Born into lower middle class in 1961 in a global superpower
- Biracial
- Christian
- No military record
- Traveled abroad as a child
- Developed worldview in college
- Extensive formal education
- Constitutional law scholar and professor
- Repeatedly organized thousands of low-income people to vote or receive job training
- State legislator via legal vote
- US Senator via legal vote
- US President via legal vote
- Constitutionally restricted to two terms of four years
- Other Constitutional restrictions apply

Wow! They're like totally the same person!

glock21sf: It's your right, but that would be a waste of your vote.

He was addicted so prescription meds, as was Brett Favre, funny how we still Idolize one but condemn another. I guess I am just as far right as Hannity then because I would vote for him in a presidential minute.

The ironic thing is the U.S. Constitution doesn't give Congress the enumerated power (Article 1, Section 8) to require our local schools to do anything, including observing Constitution Day. :) Where ever federal enumerated powers do not apply, states rights and state sovereignty apply with the 10th amendment. So yes, e.g., No Child Left Behind is unconstitutional.

glock21sf: Thank you for your amusing response. You wrote, "Try watching Hannity you might learn something." Good one. LOL
Hey! Here is a suggestion for you. Visit a library and do some real research. You may be surprised. Good luck.

glock21st: You've got to be kidding? Sean Hannity is further right than Chairman Mao. Next thing you'll be saying is that Rush Limbaugh isn't a drug addict.

I use the internet news sources, Drudge Report, I use FOX news (yes, Fox) and even MSNBC and CNN, even though they are more one sided than Fox.(at least Fox offers opposing viewpoints from the left. Try watching Hannity you might learn something.

glock21sf: You are certainly entitled to your opinions and thanks to the United States Constitution; you have the right to express those opinions. I’m just wondering if you can provide any factual information to prove the baloney that you spew. I’m not sure what, “other sources of news” you use but you may want to rethink them.

Sorry I don't see the war in Afghanistan and Iraq as war of choice. These extremists attacked the WTC in 1993, and then killed 3000 innocent people on 9-11-2001. I am sorry that the majority of the country has forgotten that day, we are not even allowed to show the images of the planes hitting the towers anymore on mainstream TV. Guess we are doomed to repeat it since we choose to ignore it. I personally watch other sources of news so I will not forget why we are over seas. And don't use the lame war for oil excuse anymore because we have discovered more oil right here in the good ole' USA than exists over in the Middle East, we just cannot or will not go after it because of spotted owls, minnow fish, and the fact that the current US Administration wants to do away with oil consumption all together.

Glock21sf, you might also want to take a look at the root cause for the deficits: a gargantuan tax cut in the middle of two wars of choice. The bank bailout is huge as well, but not in comparison with the structural deficit on GWB's watch. Both Reagan and GHWB's administrations deficit levels were huge. It seems like anytime we spend on rich folks and wars, deficits are not a concern. When money is spent on the little folk, the powerful and their ignorant lackeys go on a rip snorting fit. Some things never change.

He wasn't yelling, he was emphasizing. Nothing wrong with emphasizing that we should be clear on "facts" when spouting off on these blogs. While I am usually bothered by overuse of caps for emphasis in this blog, I do agree that FACTS was an appropriate use of caps, be it yelling or emphasizing (in this particular instance anyways).

"PETE"
Thanks We will give it serious consideration.
Its good..real good.

He uses the capslock in his emails too. Certainly likes to yell.

56789, you just did.

FACT...I will not read a blog that has random use of capslock. The message is lost in the incoherent use of basic typing/English language protocol. I have hoped that it would change. However, it is apparent it will not so I won't be clicking on these blog entries.

Sorry, you are right. It is not a Federal Holiday, I was wrong, but the way the story was worded at the begining led me to believe it was. I was not purposely trying to mislead anyone. Thank you Mr. Eyster for the rude email putting me in my place, I appreciate it. I was happy to learn about thursday as I had not ever heard about US. constitution day, and thought it was sad that no one is ever told of this day of recognition. Next time I will read your stories but not comment on them. I have learned my lesson

FACTS! This coming THURSDAY is NOT a federal holiday! IF you want to review the specific dates - there are ten (10) per year - check the OFFICIAL posting on the US Office of Personnel Management listing: http://www.opm.gov/Operating_Status_Sche.... Mr. E.

How many of you even know this Thursday is a Government holiday??? Better celebrate our Constitution before it is gone!

Don Diego, you can not use the lame Bush/deficits argument any longer! Obama has out done any president in the history of this nation deficit wise and at the same time cut military defensive spending, weakening our country, making us more vulnerable for attack and putting the lives of our service men and women in greater peril, get your head out of your butt and stop blaming Bush. The president we have now is at fault, at what point does what Bush done stop being the SOLE reason this country is going to heck in a hand basket?

Proartist is correct! Watching all the people at TEA parties makes me happy, even as a liberal. I love people getting active! My only question is where were they the last 8 years as the Republican led government ran up record deficits?

Unfortunately, far from defending the Consti-
tution, President Bush repeatedly sought to
strip out the limits the Constitution places on federal power.( http://74.125.95.132/search?q=cache:88zm... )

Maybe we should all celebrate by adding an amendment that health care is a right? Also, it seems, having a new car and tires made in the USA.
