Obama’s Government Shut-Down TAkes!

So now the Veterans from the 101st and 82nd Airborne Divisions have to once again parachute behind enemy lines in their wheel-chairs and walkers,  wielding canes to visit their own WWII Memorial in the National Mall in DC., 70 years after they sacrificed blood and treasure to take Omaha Beach.  Obama is being petulant, vindictive, and imperialistic.  If he doesn’t get his way he is going to deliberately spread the pain around to the people whom he is supposedly serving, in a blatant act of political hypocrisy.

His behavior is nothing more than the childish exhibition of the petulance of a seven year old. Whaah!

On Defunding, DeLay, and the War On Coal TAkes!

Congress is back in session, the fiscal year ends September 30, and still no budget. Nothing new there, since Obama has been President, there has never been a budget. They are still working on FY2009, which Pelosi and Reid pinned on Bush in the 2009 Omnibus Bill. Yet another CR (Continuing Resolution) Showdown is developing since the House soundly passed a CR which fully funds the government except for Obamacare, which is not now, nor will ever be ready for PrimeTime.

Rich TAkes on Natural Born Citizens

I enjoyed an interesting discussion recently, revisiting Barack Obama’s birth certificate, or lack thereof. It is my studied opinion that both were poor forgeries, especially considering the defects present in both as well as the manner of presentation. The first was by author unknown on the photo sharing site photobucket, and the second was a digital pdf which is easily shown to be highly manipulated.

Whether the Obama COLBs are real or not is beside the point.

Even if real, neither establishes Natural Born status.

The Framers were concerned about foreign influences in the Office of President,

and so required that any President born after ratification of the Constitution must be a Natural Born Citizen. They didn’t define it further, as the term had a universal meaning at the time. They deliberately did not use the term “citizen”, so there is a special, super-citizenship requirement for the highest office in the land.

The place of birth is not important, the parents citizenship status at the time of birth is, and this is the only Natural Born requirement. Both parents need to be citizens is the long and short of the difference between citizen and natural born citizen.

Simply being born on native soil of the USA does not confer citizenship status. Congress has never passed a bill to such effect, although the Courts have twisted the 14th Amendment to the point that we all go along with it. A topic for a separate discussion I guess. The only true citizens have at least one parent who is a citizen, or who have been legally naturalized. Natural Born Citizens have both parents as citizens, regardless of place of birth.

This is why Chester Arthur and Barack Obama are not Natural Born. This is also why Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio are not Natural Born either, as well as why John McCain is.

I posted briefly about this at Minor v. Happersett, 88 U.S. 162, 168. in March 2012.

The following is edited from a conversation also around March of 2012. It is a good place to start your research, so please click to read more.

How Obama Literally Hypnotized America-Part 1

Pavlov’s theory of psychology also says that propaganda can create mass hypnosis, and people can become conditioned to verbal or other symbols used in propaganda. Such masses can lose their discretion and be easily influenced.

Obama’s speeches often use an unnaturally slow language to start. Unnaturally slow speech is a common hypnotic technique in order to allow the subject time to respond to suggestions, imagine images, and feel sensations conjured by the hypnotist.

Bachmann was correct: the Muslim Brotherhood in the Obama Administration

Rich TAkes!

on the Muslim Brotherhood in the Obama Administration

Update: Boom! Evidence U.S. Bribed Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood?

Huma Abedin is Anthony Weiner’s wife. She was also Hillary’s Chief of Staff when Hillary was Secretary of State. This is from a story nearly one year ago, when four Congressmen and one Congresswoman called into question the service of at least five people with ties to the Muslim Brotherhood in the Obama Administration. In all fairness, Brotherhood influence did not begin with Obama, but he has certainly embraced it, in both words and actions.

From the link below, which also has an embedded doc which can be downloaded here. Some excerpts:

In recent days, a torrent of criticism has been directed at Representatives Michele Bachmann, Trent Franks, Louie Gohmert, Tom Rooney and Lynn Westmoreland. These legislators had the te- merity to ask five federal inspectors general last June whether individuals with ties to the Muslim Brotherhood (or Ikhwan in Arabic) are using their access to the Obama administration to influence its policies towards the Brotherhood and the Islamist agenda, both in this country and elsewhere. The members of Congress cited a recent study by the Center for Security Policy that showed, for example, that Hillary Clinton’s deputy chief of staff, Huma Abedin, “has three family members– her late father, her mother and her brother connected to Muslim Brotherhood operatives and/or organizations,” and asked for an investigation into whether such associations are affecting U.S. government policies.

The Muslim Brotherhood in the Obama Administration

The rise of these Muslim Brotherhood sympathizers in elite American policy circles tells the story of the success of the Brotherhood in its stealth jihad against this country. This stealth jihad proceeds through the slow motion infiltration of social, cultural and political institutions rather than the ramming of planes into skyscrapers, but with the same ultimate objective: destroying American society.
