This is just as bad as the "my muslim faith" comment to stephanopolis during the campaign.

We tried to tell everyone NOT to vote for the Kenyan Muslim but Noooooo, the idiots just had to elect the guy who would wipe out our country!!!

Wow... how could the FBI and CIA been fooled. Don't they have ways of examining birth certificates to verify their authenticity.

And the Democratic Party? All of those Senators, Congressman? All fooled. And what about the State of Hawaii. How can a state official lie about an official document? I think someone should be going to jail.

I don't know where he was born - and that's the problem, nobody does except him. I think that Obama is very likely a citizen of Indonesia and an illegal alien in this country. It will eventually come out and then the shit will hit the fan. In the mean time if you hold this view opt and express it, you can expect to be ridiculed by the Obama-tron lemmings on the left. They have no more facts than do you, just indignation that you would have the audacity to demand that your Constitutional protections against having a non-citizen hold the highest elected office in the land be upheld and their qualifications for the office openly and publicly verified. How dare you, you shameless Birthers!

Oh they're NOT fooled, they've been threatened, apparently you don't remember the "TRUTH SQUAD" in Mo. Apparently you don't remember ALL the threats that have been made to people that don't agree with Chairmann Zero! The people that are going to JAIL is the first one that squeels!!

Treasure of the Sierra Madre is actually fitting because by the end of obama's term, everyone's hard-earned riches will be dust in the wind.

Here's an interesting little exercise in original blog commenting I've been doing.

Since Democratic Underground is a fairly good lightning rod for political sentiment among the left, compare and contrast the following comments from DU threads on two different soldiers, both of whom refused to deploy in the war on terror.

Then scroll down to find out who the two soldiers are, and why they refused to deploy. (Some comments are lightly edited, all emphasis mine.)

Sample comments about soldier A, whom the DUers all agree is a coward, chickenhawk and generally a rotten person who deserves to be courtmartialed:

-- "Posing as a "principled" soldier, but really just a chickenshit."

-- "Cool. Straight to jail with him, then."

-- "One dumb-ass gullible Major not fit to lead men."

-- "The guy has to admit he's a candy-assed coward and get court-martialed like all cowards do. It's an excuse for what essentially is dereliction of duty."

-- "so he WILL get court-martialed, right??"

-- "He was happy following [...] orders as long as he wasn't deployed? that's ... interesting."

-- "Contrary to good order and discipline."

-- "Another candy-ass, chickenhawk [...] Throw him in jail and let him rot with his "convictions.""

-- “Who needs you, traitor?”

--------------------------------------------------

Sample comments about soldier B, who is considered a hero (and, in one comment, presidential material) for his refusal:

-- “He refused to follow a command to take illegal action and is willing to take the consequences for it. He is a hero.”

-- “A man of principle [...] against a man of arrogant, illiterate power”

-- “I love this man for his conviction”

-- “I want this man as Commander in Chief”

.

Did you guess it?

Soldier A is Maj. Stefan Frederick Cook, who refused to deploy as he doesn't believe Barack Obama is a U.S. citizen, thus cannot legally be Commander in Chief, thus following orders from Obama is illegal.

Soldier B is First Lieutenant Ehren Watada, who refused to deploy to Iraq, as the war there is illegal, thus following Bush's orders as CinC is also illegal.

What a difference it makes when there's a Democrat in the top job, huh?

(Comments on Watada can be found here, here, here, here, etc.)

'Romneycare' in Massachussets is failing.

But when Obamacare is introduced on a national scale, it's sure to succeed! (This time!)

Thanks for that, Mandible. I keep a close watch on the DUmmies myself. One lovely thread today asks the question "would you risk your life for the lives of 100 strangers?" Most were craven, and one moonbat, CherokeeProgressive, said that no, 100 less people mean 100 less carbon footprints, and also 100 less mouths to feed.

On another note, in Rasmussen news, Zero has been at negative 7 or 8 for 7 days now. GOP leads Dems in the generic race for the 3rd straight week. 40-37 this week.

Here's a question: If conservatism is dying out as our trolls claim, then why does someone like Sotomayor find it necessary to deny her previous record and pretend to be as judicially conservative as Roberts and Scalia even with a filibuster-proof Democrat majority?

If the left's ideas are really in ascendancy, why can't she let her affirmative-action, internal law, judicial activist freak flag fly?

We need to watch our backs or we will go the way of the Native Americans and loose our freedom. Make sure you believe it is worth fighting for. Remember the FED has Trillions of $$$, it pays off money hungry people, just remember food can be $$$ too. Stock non- perishables, rotate that stock.
