Dems Admit Obama’s Not Eligible

Dems Admit Obama’s Not Eligible "So What?.  We can nominate who we want." “ Weary of defending in court the Constitutional eligibility of their man at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, the Democrat Party has finally admitted Barack Obama is not qualified to be president of the United States– and that it doesn’t matter.   According to a motion filed by Party attorneys in a Tennessee eligibility lawsuit, “…Defendants [the Tennessee Democrat Party and the Democrat National Committee] assert that the Tennessee Democrat Party has the right to nominate whoever it chooses to run as a candidate, including someone who is not qualified for the office.” [continue - Western Journalism Center] Since Obama has  declared a willingness to rule without congressional support, or within constitutional constraint,  is this a case of "in for a penny, in for a pound?  I believe Obamunists know, at this point, that the only way they can stay in office, and salvage their soon-to-be emasculated takeover,  is through extra-constitutional means.  Where he was born, and other legalities then are moot.  ”

Gay Pile-on Cookie Culture

Kraft Foods: Rainbow OREO a ‘reflection of our values’ “As a company, Kraft Foods has a proud history of celebrating diversity and inclusiveness. “ STFU Kraft Foods set off a firestorm after posting a gay pride rainbow-filled OREO cookie on its Facebook page Monday with the caption “Proudly support love!” By Tuesday afternoon over 170,000 Facebook users had “liked” the page and the post was inundated with thousands of pro- and anti-rainbow cookie statements. Kraft spokesman Basil T. Maglaris told The Daily Caller that the rainbow cookie is not planned for sale, but meant as part of the snack’s 100th birthday celebration, Meanwhile,  competing Rainbow/PUSH Coalition hustler, The Rebrun Jesse Jackson, seemed miffed that his check had not arrived. A protest is likely planned.  "celebrating diversity and inclusiveness" —  Weasel words for a culture that's lost itself.   ”

Georgia Driver License Rules

WHAT GUMMINT DOES                             Renewing your driver license in Georgia? “ But:  I've lived here all my life... I've had a drivers license for 20 years No argument matters.  You MUST show up in person, where in the past you could renew online, for up to 10 years at a time.  This is how political correctness impacts us all.  Because 'some' abuse the privilege, but must not be inconvenienced, we, the rest of us, must ALL be inconvenienced in the name of equality.  But, you don't need a picture ID to vote, that would be racist.  Maybe the ID required should be the same to vote, get a library card, board a plane, rent a DVD, be admitted to a hospital, get treatment from a Doctor or Dentist, fill a prescription, or just rent a car. phooey. tom Having passed any number of voter ID laws, all condemned by the Democrat Party, and nullified by Democrat judges, Georgia appears to have been forced to spank everyone— to assuage Eric Holder and the Obama taliban.   A microcosm of the USA.  Meet at the Barn tonight at 11:15 PM. ”

Mitt's Choice

—   you berks.    “ From  the Drudge linked story (to unreliable Politico) about Obama losing ground to Romney in Ohio Obama is clinging to his lead based on his strength with three demographic groups: black voters, young voters and women. Obama leads among African-Americans 93 percent to 6 percent, and he beats Romney among young voters 54 percent to 36 percent. Women support Obama over Romney 52 percent to 41 percent. The problem Romney faces then, with young voters, will be to identify with them.  Here are two who commented to the Politico article. Willie Tate · Top Commenter · San Diego State University Show me a poll where Romney is leading. Despite all you say, Americans know Romney is not on their side. It's not struggling when you're ahead...Romney is struggling to stay relevant. What is he for? I don't know either...and neither do the American people. We know you're better off than you were four years ago, so why would you not be for Obama? Ryan Stewart · Top Commenter · Florida Atlantic University As Gary and the right wing struggle to tell themselves what they want to hear, and reinforce all of the projection based drivel that keeps them deluded, the Romney campaign continues to hide, letting the Obama campaign define him. Gary and the right continue to blather on, repeating the cable news drivel they were fed on the economy, and ignoring the independent economic analysis that shows the opposite. People like Gary bought into all of the 2008 campaign projections, and never quite let them go. They always believed Obama was not up to the job, and have spent the last four years ignoring reality to reinforce their political house of cards. Time for people like Gary to drop his spoon fed delusions, and study up. It's clear then.  Romney must drive a railroad spike through his brain, and hope for the best if he's to have any chance of creating a dialog with that lot.  ”

It's US! Donilon and Power

OBAMUNISM, The Party, Donilon pegged as likely White House mole It's Them!! “ It suggests that Thomas Donilon, the national security adviser, is a likely source in The Times reporting, considering he is “the commenter of record on events." Read more:   The book [The Amateur]  also describes a rivalry between Jones and his deputy Tom Donilon, who currently serves as National Security Adviser. Donilon, a longtime Democratic operative, made derogatory remarks about military commanders in Iraq and Afghanistan, the book says. Klein quotes Jones as once telling Donilon, “You have no credibility with the military.” “When he (Jones) went into the Oval Office, he was usually accompanied by a phalanx of aides, including three political operatives who had played roles in Obama’s 2008 campaign,” Klein writes. “Jones’s chief of staff Mark Lippert; his deputy Tom Donilon, who had coached Obama for his debates against John McCain; and Dennis McDonough, the director of strategic communications. At times this group was expanded to include Hillary Clinton, Valarie Jarrett, David Axelrod, Rahm Emanuel, and on rare occasions, Michelle Obama.” Another book, “Obama’s Wars” by Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward, released in 2010, also discussed the conflict between Jones and Obama’s political team. Woodward’s book says that Jones saw the political team “as major obstacles to developing and deciding on a coherent policy.” Woodward identifies the group as including then-White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, top adviser David Axelrod, and then-press secretary Robert Gibbs. “He (Jones) privately called them ‘the water bugs,’ the ‘Politburo,’ the ‘Mafia,’ or the ‘campaign set.’” “There are too many senior aides around the president,” Jones is quoted as saying in the Woodward book. “‘They’re likely water bugs. They flit around. Rahm gets an idea at 10 a.m., a briefing by 4 p.m., and I will say ‘no’ because the work can’t be done in a day. The water bugs did not understand war or foreign relations, Jones felt.” [ clipped from  Book Describes Rift Between Obama’s Nat’l Security Adviser and His Political Team: ‘Water Bugs’] While I was reading The Amateur, questions about WH  security leaks were raging.  Two people I knew little about- Donilon and Samantha Power, screamed out "IT'S US!  as I read about them. Here's Power. I think this shows how pliable our nincompoop-in-chief is,  in the hands of the experienced hard core leftists he feels so comfortable with.  Too bad Power didn't suggest immolation while wearing a saffron robe instead of the bow. “ .When it came to foreign affairs, no one had a more profound influence on Obama than Samantha Power, [a Harvard professor]who burst upon the scene in 2003 with her book , A Problem in Hell, which indicted America and other democracies for being "bystanders to genocide." Samanta Power- Hates America Obama made her a member and then appointed her to the National Council as special assistant to the president. "US foreign policy has to be rethought," Power argued. "It needs not tweaking but overhauling ...Instituting a doctrine of mea culpa would enhance our credibility by showing American decision makers do not endorse the sins of their predecessors." Power's answer to her own question was clear:she wanted Obama to "get down on one knee" and seek pardon for the sins of American Foreign policy." The Amateur, pp207-208 ” ”

Obamacare Pace Car

Obamacare Pace Car “ I don't know where this e-mail originated, but it took some money to purchase this, paint it & haul it from Montana to Alabama . A friend saw this on I-65 in Birmingham AL a couple of weeks ago. The truck has Montana license tag and they pulled alongside of it and gave the driver a big thumbs up. He acknowledged with a thumbs up. Loved it! - Tom W How serendipitous is this!  What with the Donk announcement that they're canceling the  Speedway Event at Charlotte Convention.  Because they're broke!  I would not be at all surprised to learn that this Obama pace car was in fact built for that occasion.  I loved it too, Tom.  Thanks. ”

Wet Dreams and Thrills up Legs

OBAMA THE TERRIBLE   Rush Limbaugh: Obama’s Actions Are a ‘Dictator‘s Wet Dream’ “ “What are we trying to do in this administration? Why does he want a second term? Would he tell us? What’s he going to do in the second term? More of this? Is this it? Is this as good as it gets? Where are we going? Are we going to do something the second term? He has yet to tell us. And ... the people around him ..., they’re little kids with propellers on their heads ... Their idea of running a campaign is a virtual universe of sending e-mails around to people. ... I don‘t have a sense that he’s ever had a meeting. I hear stories that you will not believe. “ Oh, I'm sorry.  That was “Thrill up my leg.” and MSNBC All-Star Chris Matthews talking. [Here]    The Limbaugh story is HERE ... his Monday statements have sent Media Matters readers into a predictable fit. 卐 Re: Matthews:  maybe he's like the many asshats  in the early days of Hitler, who saw the German dictator as a positive force. Thank God for stalwarts like Limbaugh who always get it right, and get it right from the get-go. ”

        News From the Front     

I have a computer on order, but other than an acknowledgment from Woot, I have nothing.  No shipping date or tracking number.   I think I made a mistake in taking the $5 shipping option instead of paying for FedEX.  At any rate, I have now crashed (permanently it seems) Windows "Safe Mode," from which I have so happily been operating.  This comes via my tiny Acer  notebook, with it's tiny screen, and it's tiny keypad, and its tiny  clock speed.  But, that's not what I wanted to say. This is.  Microsoft are the dumbest canker blossoms on Earth.  Have to be,  I've been playing the game.  Trying to sort things by  following their instructions.  But damned near every thing they tell me to run results in "This Program will not run in safe mode."   I'm not making that up.  Like the "System Restore Readiness Tool." After much formality,  like  proving I had a valid Windows license and a Green Card, etc., by running a program and sending them the code it generated, I was able to downloaded it.   The readiness tool instructed that I delete all Windows updates from the period I was having trouble.  Okay, that was easy.  Next I was to stop the system from reiinstalling the updates (link to appropriate page provided) by toggeling auto updates to "NO.".  Guess what?  That's right, "You cannot use this function in safe mode.   Just now, when I rebooted Windows (in safe mode), this message:  "Installing updates, do not turn off the computer."  Shit.  It got to "30% Complete" and hung.  For 20 seconds.  Then -- Blue Screen, and I STG I heard laughter coming from the speakers. !   I don't expect anyone to read this (except for the Appoles who can  smell the scent of wounded  PC from China.  Go ahead, I can take it, ya bastids.   This is catharsis.  Plus, I've been doing this blog for 10 years, and my guess is that I have accunmulated 1000 posts on one of my PCs going belly up. That collection would make  a nice coffee table book for Apple enthusiasts.  I wanted a picture so I borrowd this from Doug because I admired it, and it was free,

Arisona Law - Some stays, Some Dunt

9th US Court reversed on the meat of Arizona Immo Law!  USA UAS USA The upshot of the SB1070 ruling is that, for now, Arizona can apply the "check your papers" provision.  And the Court's opinion is a guide to the State on how to apply that provision without being invalidated. “ 0:16 Amy Howe:  Here's the second and only other opinion in Arizona. 10:16 Amy Howe:  Justice Kennedy announces. 10:16 Amy Howe:  The Ninth Circuit is reversed in part and affirmed in part. Justice Kagan does not participate. 10:17 Amy Howe:  The Court rules that Section 3, 5, and 6 are preempted. 10:17 Tom:  Most of the key provisions of SB1070 (3 of 4) are invalidated.  One provision is held not to be proved preempted; it must be construed. 10:18 Amy Howe:  It was improper for the lower courts to enjoin Section 2(B), which requires police officers to check the legal status of anyone arrested for any crime before they can be released. 10:19 Kali:  We will have more substanative analysis of the decision in Arizona v. US from Lyle later this morning or early this afternoon. We are also looking forward to guest analysis on the decision from Marc Miller and Jack Chin from Univ. of Arizona and UC Davis law schools, respectively, Lucas Guttentag of Yale & Stanford, Jay Sekulow from the ACLJ, Peter Spiro at Temple, John Eastman at Chapman, Rich Samp at the Washington Legal Foundation, and Kevin Johnson, also at UC Davis. Tune back in for their posts.  10:19 Tom:  The provision that the Court says is not yet preempted is the "check your papers" provision that commands officers to check immigration status. 10:20 Amy Howe:  The opinion also says that today's ruling does not foreclose other preemption and constitutional challenges to the law. 10:20 Tom:  The court says that it is not clear whether application of this provision will interfere with immigration law. 10:20 Amy Howe:  There are ongoing proceedings on Section 2(B) and whether it involves racial profiling; that issue was NOT before the Court today. 10:20 Kali:  Here's a link to the opinion in Arizona v. US: http://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/11pdf/11-182b5e1.pdf 10:21 Tom:  Justice Scalia would uphold the Arizona statute in toto. 10:21 Amy Howe:  Justice Kennedy is still reciting from the opinion. 10:23 Amy Howe:  We do not expect any additional opinions today, so NO health care today. 10:23 Amy Howe:  For our readers who are not lawyers, "preempted" means "trumped," in essence. 10:24 Tom:  We should have word for you on what other day(s) the Court is going to issue opnioins soon. ”

Obamacare Day of Reckoning

Our Real Legislature               Don't forget to turn on SCOTUS Blog if you want to watch a live execution.  I mean, our country's fate, as determined by the 9 guys in robes. The best case scenario, IMO, is the court throws out the entire Obamacare law in language so narrowly defined that Medicare is also thrown out.  Chance of that happening is about less than 0.  At a minimum then, the personal mandate must be stricken, meaning the government cannot force people to purchase heath insurance. The odd thing,  to me,  is that while better than two-thirds of us hate Obamacare, and want it thrown out, polls indicate that only 19% want the government to then leave health care as it is.  With 4% undecided, 77% want a new bill enacted. If they were asked what they want in a health care bill, what would they answer?  We already have Medicare and Medicaid, so what's left?  The answer, I'm afraid, would be Obamacare without any opt-in at all.  Obamacare for free, for everyone.  Just do it.  It's who we've become.
