“He jests at scars, that never felt a wound.”…Shakespeare
Why dost David Emery of About.com (aka NY Times) jest?
“‘Birther’ Wackiness Continues with Release of Obama’s ‘Kenyan Birth Certificate'”
William Shakespeare, once again, waxes pertinent.
“Horatio:
He waxes desperate with imagination.
Marcellus:
Let’s follow. ‘Tis not fit thus to obey him.
Horatio:
Have after. To what issue will this come?
Marcellus:
Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.”…Shakespeare, Hamlet Act 1, scene 4
I perform a great many internet searches and today, quite by accident, or perchance divine inspiration, was confronted with an article by David Emery dated August 3, 2009 on About.com.
“‘Birther’ Wackiness Continues with Release of Obama’s ‘Kenyan Birth Certificate'”
“One of the myriad alternative-reality scenarios promulgated by “birthers” — the folks who maintain that Barack Obama’s presidency is illegitmate because, supposedly, he has never released a valid birth certificate or proven he’s a natural-born citizen — is that he was actually born in Kenya.
The first and only “evidence” proffered to support that theory surfaced just yesterday in the form of a document allegedly proving that Obama was, in fact, born at Coast General Hospital in Mombasa, Kenya in 1961.”
The word document, highlighted above, links to a Citizen Wells article with news of an alleged Kenyan birth certificate.
The article goes on to state:
“it only took about a nanosecond for reality-based debunkers to prove the “Kenyan birth certificate” a fake”
Reality based?
The article then states:
“The debacle shines a light on two fatal flaws of the birther movement: one, their blatantly inconsistent and prejudicial standards of evidence — i.e., they’re perfectly willing to accept (and circulate) unsourced photographs of an unvetted document as “proof” of foreign birth, while dismissing out of hand a state-issued, state-validated U.S. birth certificate; and two, what the foregoing reveals about their true motives — i.e, despite their protestations, they have no interest whatsoever in truth, accuracy, or “protecting” the U.S. Constitution, but are bent, rather, on delegitimizing Obama’s presidency at any cost and by any means possible.”

I am going to email David Emery and ask what his motivation was for producing this inaccurate and insulting article.
One of the first clues for his motivation is this fact from the bottom of the website:
About.com, a part of The New York Times Company.
You remember the NY Times. They are the ones who withheld the important ACORN story until after the 2008 election.
Mr. Emery states “their blatantly inconsistent and prejudicial standards of evidence” when he hasn’t a clue about what he is talking about.
He goes on to state “while dismissing out of hand a state-issued, state-validated U.S. birth certificate.”
He ends with “but are bent, rather, on delegitimizing Obama’s presidency at any cost and by any means possible.”
David Emery, even Lou Dobbs while at CNN, of all places, questioned Obama’s birth certificate. He also was paying attention when he stated that the alleged COLB was a piece of paper that referred to another piece of paper.
Mr. Emery, I am well educated with a strong background. I do not refer to myself as a birther. I am an American, natural born citizen, who believes that the US Constitution is the supreme law of the land. I also keep things simple. Can you answer this simple question?
Why has Obama employed a legion of private and government attorneys to avoid presenting a legitimate birth certificate and college records?
Citizen WElls 
Good morning CW and all.

Tea Parties Go Global
Our Founding Fathers would have never thought that over two hundred years later, British subjects would be throwing a “Tea Party” after being inspired by American activists overseas who demanded smaller government from their own policy makers in Washington.
The Freedom Association is sponsoring a tea party event this Saturday in Brighton. Their website gives the following information:
Join DANIEL HANNAN MEP at the Brighton Tea Party at 5.30 p.m. this Saturday 27 February at the Best Western Hotel, 143-145 King’s Road, Brighton BN1 2PQ
The event will take place on the Conservative Party Spring Forum fringe, but is outside the secure zone, so all members of the public are very welcome to attend. Admission is free. Tea and other refreshments will be available at a small charge. Cash bar.
The Tea Party Movement in the USA has demonstrated the huge scale of public opposition to excessive taxation. In the UK, tax is much higher and, in addition, British membership of the democratically unaccountable EU raises the issue of “no taxation without representation”. From the Boston Tea Party to the Brighton Tea Party, it’s time to demonstrate our opposition to excessive taxation. Read more here.

Obama Launches Talk Radio Strategy
The Democratic National Committee’s Organizing for America has quietly launched an initiative aimed at making Obama supporters’ voices heard on the largely conservative airwaves.
“The fate of health reform has been a focus of debate in living rooms and offices, on TV and online — and on talk radio. And since millions of folks turn to talk radio as a trusted source of news and opinions, we need to make sure OFA supporters are calling in with a pro-reform message,” says the introduction to the online tool.
The online tool presents users with a radio show discussing political topics, to which supporters can listen live, and the phone number for that station, for when health care comes up. It also offers tips for callers and talking points on the issue.
//////////////////////
I wonder if Glenn Beck will let them on to talk about their talking points, like he did the ones concerned about obama being a NBC?
He goes on to state “while dismissing out of hand a state-issued, state-validated U.S. birth certificate.”
*******************************************
He should be asked to back up this statement by actually contacting the Hawaii DOH and asking if they issued the Factcheck COLB and are they willing to go on record to validate it as authentic? Then he should be asked why it was necessary for the Obama campaign to request a brand new COLB just in time to run for President when he had already been through two successful elections before that? What did Obuma use for proof then??? Simple questions a real reporter would ask before he put his credibility online.
St. Louis Tea Party Celebrates One Year Anniversary
The St. Louis Tea Party will celebrate the one year anniversary of the tea party movement on Saturday, February 27 at 1:30 p.m. on the steps of the Arch.
One year ago that day in cities across the country Americans answered Rick Santelli’s call to protest against excessive taxes, wasteful spending, and irresponsible government. Fifteen-hundred citizens stood under the Arch and the St. Louis Tea Party was born.
Since that time the St. Louis Tea Party has emerged as one of the preeminent and most active tea party organizations. Their April 15, 2009 Tax Day Tea Party drew 10,000 people to Keiner Plaza; area tea partiers have participated in town halls, various rallies, have organized petitions and “buycotts.” The tea party movement is credited for victories in New Jersey, Virginia, Massachusetts, New York’s 23rd district, and stalled such government grabs as a faulty health care reform bill and cap-and-trade.
The St. Louis Tea Party will start promptly at 1:30 p.m. and end at 2:30 p.m., rain or shine. Participants will hear from a small group of speakers before dumping tea leaves (please remove from, and properly dispose of, all bags) into the Mississippi River. More information can be found at http://www.stlouisteaparty.com.

As usual, these naysayers have not done their homework. They are so busy criticizing they don’t bother to back up their comments with research or fact.
Then again, they are Alinskyites who cannot help themselves. How many times have we backed them into a corner, and they are speechless? Too many!
Go get ’em, CW! This guy is nothing but a bore in idiot’s clothing!
Thanks for this post…just goes to show you have gotten under his skin. Criticism, in this case, is the highest form of flattery or is it the highest form of ignorance?

proving that Obama was, in fact, born at Coast General Hospital in Mombasa, Kenya in 1961.”
*********************
Mr. David Emory…….I’ll prove aka Obama– whatever his name really is– wasn’t born in General Hospital in Mombasa, Kenya in 1961 just as fast as you prove he was…….
shouldn’t be a challenge for a journalist as intent on ‘true journalism’ as you seem to be.
I think a better question to Emery is “Why has Soetoro spent over $1.5 mil to several law firms to keep his personal records locked down?” If he is being “candid” then it would be insane to spend such an amount to conceal personal records. This activity by itself smacks of guilt, and criminal intent……pure and simple.
Then he should be asked why it was necessary for the Obama campaign to request a brand new COLB …….
Even better, why not use the one he found in the shoebox????
Occam’s Razor, it it???
The simplest explanation for some phenomenon is more likely to be accurate than more complicated explanations.”
Translation…….there wasn’t a shoe box or there wasn’t a birth certificate???

Leaked UN Documents Reveal Plan for “Green World Order” by 2012
Leaked planning documents (PDF) obtained by Fox News lift the lid on the UN’s plan to impose global governance by the time of their 2012 World Summit on Sustainable Development in Rio, which will mark the 20th anniversary since the notorious “Earth Summit” held in the same city.
“Moving towards a green economy would also provide an opportunity to re-examine national and global governance structures and consider whether such structures allow the international community to respond to current and future environmental and development challenges and to capitalize on emerging opportunities,” states the white paper.
The imposition of such “global governance structures” will be achieved with the help of “vast wealth transfers” from richer countries (in the form of carbon taxes levied on citizens) to poorer nations, amounting to no less than $45 trillion dollars. The paper also outlines the need to change the “consumption patterns” of people living in richer countries, which undoubtedly is a euphemism for lowering living standards.

*************
And if there are as many as before, that in itself SAYS A LOT!!!
JJ, I pray for the day AKA Obama calls for help and nobody responds.
Remember his face when he told his story about the woman who wanted to be buried in an Obama t-shirt, and the audience laughed??
First his expression registered surprise and then you could see the anger…
I had such a good day that day.
CW, I do believe Obama was born in Kenya….A pastor and his wife from a church in Nariobi(sp?) came to the US on a visa and stayed with my mom & dad for 6 months in 1992, the church sponsors the Kenyan church….O’s birth in Kenya would fit their customs and culture…most tribes gather the entire family of the father for a birth…Wherever O was born he is not a NBC that can only come through soil and blood, no matter the custom…

venice, it should be posted over and over, if you ask me!
WHERE he was born doesn’t matter. Not one whit!!!
By his own admission the man’s father was an alien when Barry thr younger was born and Daddy never became an American but returned to Kenya. It seems that Federal District Court judges (such as one named Simandle) get all muddled up on this as well as the fact that the Black Letter Law of our country is the United States Constitution. Just read:
A Federal Judge takes 4 strikes!!!
and, following that, if you go to the Mario Apuzzo website and actually read the Initial Appeals Brief of Jan 19, 2010, you’re in for a real eye-opener (as are the DOJ attorneys “defending” Obama using our tax money).
That’s doubly ironic since these attorneys – and their bosses – took an oath to defend the Constitution from enemies foreign AND domestic but they are now in the position of actually attacking that very document rather than defending it and are trying to get an obviously ineligible man to remain in an office he has never shown himself to be eligible to hold.
The wonderful Apuzzo Brief is a primer on both Constitutional law, the meaning of it, the Founders’ intent vis-a-vis Article II of the
Constitution and a forceful put-down of the lies and misinformation put forth by the Obama Flying Monkeys such as “smrstrauss” and others.
I’d urge everyone to read the Initial Appeals Brief from Attorney Apuzzo’s website along with the many essays by both Mario Apuzzo AND his Lead Plaintiff, Charles F. Kerchner. While there, it would really help to donate even a small amount to the publicity/education fund presently used only for full-page newspaper ads in the Washington Times National Weekly Edition.
The Brief gives a very good overview of the original action AND it puts the lie to the many false arguments by the Obot Flying Monkeys about why BHO is either (their words) eligible to hold the office he now occupies OR that it (their words) doesn’t matter that he is not eligible.
Your understanding of the relation of the U. S. Constitution to We The People will be forever enlightened.
Actually, Obama’s whole life seems to be nothing but a work of fiction. The man has never shown himself to be Constitutionally eligible to hold the office he now occupies.
If you’d like to see something from a different point of view, watch the two short videos below which, even though they start slowly and have a bit of fun, contain a wealth of factual data – more than we’ve seen from Obama.
In fact in the second video a famous senator is quoted speaking about someone that sounds for all the world like “Our Boy” and really strikes a chord.
Only thing is the senator was the Roman named Cicero speaking in 42 BC – but the message is still very directed and pertinent for all of us:
Three Little Words
Merry Christmas OmeriKa!!

This past weekend we had our annual banquet / fundraiser event in Starkville . “As a part of our program, we had scheduled Sgt. 1st

Greg is stationed at Ft. Bragg , NC and received permission from his commanding officer to come speak at our function. Everything was on go until Obama made a policy that NO U.S. SERVICEMAN CAN SPEAK AT ANY FAITH-BASED PUBLIC EVENTS ANYMORE. Needless to say, Greg had to cancel his speaking event with us.. Didn’t know if anyone else was aware of this new policy. Wonder what kind of news we all will receive next. You’re just starting to see the Obamanation. Your religion is on the list next.� I don’t know about you, but this makes me furious.

We are now seeing the natural consequences of what comes after things like sugar, salt, and fats, and fastfoods have been villainized and regulated. When will people realize that what goes around comes around. Bottom line, it was never the gov’ts business to lecture us or make laws about ANY of these things. Even LOCALLY. NONE. OF. THEIR. DAMN. BUSINESS. When are people gonna see that the gov’t is not interested in our well-being, but rather POWER. PERIOD.
