Obama And The Three D’s
Barack Obama has successfully merged Chicago with Clinton-era politics. With that, we now have the Three D’s rearing their ugly heads again. For those of you who were in elementary school when Bill Clinton was president, the three D’s stood for “deny, delay, destroy”.
In this case, with regards to the whole Barack Obama birth certificate stall, the “destroy” part is in regards to the U.S. Constitution, and it takes time (deny and delay) to do this.
With that, meet Sarah P. Herlihy….
The natural born citizen requirement in Article II of the United States Constitution has been called the “stupidest provision” in the Constitution, “undecidedly un-American,” “blatantly discriminatory,” and the “Consti-tution’s worst provision.” Since Arnold Schwarzenegger’s victory in the California gubernatorial recall election of 2003, commentators and policy-makers have once again started to discuss whether Article II of the United States Constitution should be amended to render naturalized citizens eligi-ble for the presidency. Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 of the Constitution defines the eligibility requirements for an individual to become president. Article II provides:
No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Of-fice who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.
Although these sixty-two words are far from extraordinary, the natural born citizen provision is controversial because it prevents over 12.8 million Americans from being eligible for the presidency.
Is Ms. Herlihy really concerned about Arnold Schwarzenegger, or could it be someone else…?
And the mainstream media is where on this?
According to AIPNews.com, Sarah P. Herlihy is employed by Kirkland & Ellis LLP of where else… Chicago.
Upon looking at the firm, and the partners, I found that Bruce I. Ettelson, P.C., is Member of finance committees of U.S. Senators Barack Obama and Richard Durbin.
In addition, Jack S. Levin, P.C., another partner who, in December 2002 was presented the ”Illinois Venture Capital Association’s lifetime achievement award for service to the private equity/venture capital community” presented by Sen. Barack Obama.
So it sure looks like Obama’s people have looked into the matter of “Natural born” as far back as early 2006.
So, the bottom line: there IS something to this whole birth certificate fiasco. Barack Obama has lawyers working behind the scenes to create a backlash against those who believe only a natural born citizen should be able to send our sons and daughters to war.
When the shit finally does hit the fan, as I’ve said before, people won’t be angry with Barack Obama for knowingly placing the nation in the murky waters we will be in by perpetrating the Milli Vanilli of all frauds. No, the Obamanation will be angry that an obviously racist law is the only thing preventing Mr. Hope & Change from achieving his true destiny.
There are millions of people in this country today who are not eligible to be President of the United States, and have resigned themselves to that fact. Some of these people have found other ways (both good and bad) to add to the public dialogue, but they understand that the rules DO apply to them. Barack Obama (hubris redefined) and those pulling his strings believe that no rule applies to them, and if that is truly the case and they wish to tear the Constitution into pieces, keeping the ones the like, then they are more dangerous than George W. Bush was ever accused of.
This is now quite more than a simple refusal to produce a document, and if this man gets away with this and lawyers (with the help of the millions of duped) succeed in trashing the Constitution, it could one day open the door for more abomination.
Can you say President Soros?

Better buy your guns and ammo now, people. The storm is a comin’ and when the fighting begins, you do not want to be one of the ones that said “I don’t need to spend the money on one of those now, why would I need a gun?” Remember, if the supreme law of the land is not followed to the letter with regards to peaceful transfer of power, there is nothing else that can be relied on. “Government by the people, of the people, for the people” is about to become government by the lawyers, of the lawyers, for the lawyers, and all the idiots who think “it can’t happen here” will be among the first to have their lives forfeited and property seized for daring to speak out against the ruling elite.

Thanksgiving Dinner 2008
I was “informed” by one of my communist relatives that the Constitution is irrelevant because it was written by men that owned slaves. This relative of mine is a very intelligent and a well spoken individual. He is in my opinion an idiot none the less. This is the mentality of the liberal left.
I still maintain that there has to be more to this. Ignored by the press, shuffled around in courts and scoffed at by Obama. All the man has to do is produce his Birth Certificate. He would have used it to obtain his passport when he was galavanting around the world.
Birth records SEALED. Health records SEALED. School records SEALED. WTF??
John makes a good point in his statement. With regards to guns & ammo. I would recommend one rifle and as much ammo as you can afford first. Ammo will be the first thing to go. The second ammendment does not specifically protect ammo.

Even on Wikipedia they don’t allow these unattriputed quotes like that whole “Has been called” section up there. By whom?
And there are a hell of a lot more immigrants then 12.8 Million. Or are they just thinking about the Illegal ones and getting confused?

You nailed it Bob … Ms. Herlihy, and liberals everywhere, are fully aware that Obama may be up for a serious challenge in regards to his birth records … oh yeah, there’s a fourth “d” to add to your list of “deny, delay, destroy”.
Debunk!
As in your claim, BHO, to having been born in Hawaii.

It seems to me that the left has been in recent decades doing their best to find loopholes or play down the Constitution as a contract that they cannot find (because the loopholes they look for do not exist). You would think that the whole “UnAmericanness” of the natural born citizen would have prompted an amendment, like I thought would happen when they first (to my recollection) started saying the birth right citizenship should be changed to allow for anyone. Apparently because they could not get anyone to agree in the numbers necessary, they now try to force through a person whose actions make him suspect.
@TexRex: If you can still contact those commie relatives of yours, show them Lysander Spooner’s “The Unconstitutionality of Slavery”, written before the American Civil War and before the Thirteenth Amendment formally banned slavery in the United States. If they are able to read the entire 300 page book, they might see why Spooner was able to convince Frederick Douglass to believe that the Constitution never did formally allow for slavery. Up until that time Douglass was a Garrisonite, who believed that the US Government under the Constitution was illegitimate and immoral because it allowed for slavery and therefore must be abolished.
You can read “The Unconstitutionality of Slavery” for free at http://lysanderspooner.org
That particular work was also quoted from by Justice Antonin Scalia in his majority opinion for DC v. Heller (2008)
Stop and read some of other works that Spooner wrote as well.

I was taught in my 7th or 8th grade Civics class that the reasoning behind the natural-born citizen rule, despite many of themselves being emigrants, and combined with the length of residency, was the fear of a President with loyalties that may lie outside the U.S. Such as someone loyal to the British. I know, and in a public school even. Who’d'a thought?
