This is not the case of Obama, his father is not a US citizen and never was, that is why he is not natural born. there is a differnce between naturalized, which mean becoming a US Citizen and one being born of two US Citizens. Just like illegal alien children they are US Citizen but not natural born. It has to do with both parents being US Citizens. I am glad your sister-in-law became a us citizen.

The United States Constitution states the following: “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 Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.” This means both parents have to be US citizens, this is not the case for Mr. Obama, his birth father was a citizen of Kenya, with means he is not a natural born citizen, granted he may be a US citizen , but he is not natural born by the definition of the Constitution. Therefore he is not eligible to President, since he is not qualified by the Constitution. I would not matter if he was born in Washington, DC; his parental heritage prevents him from being President.

The things which made our country great is us working together to be AMERICANS speaking ONE Language, placing others about ourselves, determination in our dreams and hope. Political Correctness and liberal diversity have neutered that AMERICA SPRIT, we have become debtor to other nations for vote buying schemes have bankrupted our country, we have to stop this not just for ourselves but mainly for our CHILDREN and GRANDCHILDREN, do we wish them to live in some third world cesspool, which liberal wish to turn our country into, or do we wish the hope and dreams of our founders be their inspiration. Congress Critters and Senator Critters want to be the new lords and ladies of the feudal American, it time we remove them and take our country back. I for one do not wish to be a serf to any voted upon representative, they work for me; I do not work for them.

If Western Union transfers this money or a bank or sent in the Mail, it should be confiscated and turn over government revenue to pay for these service which these people use. That would pay for health care, jails, welfare and the other services they receive on our dime and not theirs. Tax employers of illegal’s at the 90% on their profits and make them also pay for these services since they are the one benefiting from the cheap labor. Let these company show their stock holders, they are making only 10% of their profits due to management decision to use illegal’s, then you would see a big change in business management into those who will respect US laws.

The first thing is term limits, if that is in the hard to do box, then let’s select Congress critters and Senator critters from the real taxpaying public to serve one term by computer random selection, we could not do any worst then the system we have now. By this I mean people who really pay taxes and not received a hand-out for the government. The highest pay for these people should not be more the $30,000 per year, since they have a real job to go back to and not suckle on the taxpayer.

The framers of our Republic did not want to be career politicians, they had real jobs and worked on their farms or business, met and did the governments business for a few days, then when back to their farms and business, not like our career politicians of today. Like Barbara Boxer, remember she worked hard to be a Senator, she was voted to be a Senator, she only worked hard BS’ing everyone how great she is and she needs to lord over us toadies who really work to make this country great Tue, 1 Sep 2009 06:40:43 +0000 http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/bighollywood/2009/08/31/jon-voight-fed-up-with-obamacare/#IDComment32753477 http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/bighollywood/2009/08/31/jon-voight-fed-up-with-obamacare/#IDComment32753471 On major legislation this should be voted on in a general referendum and not by our Congress critters, we as American should decide the expenditure of our money for major non-governmental projects, like TARP, bailing out CA, NY or other states, banks, health-care. We have to pay for these things; we should get a chance to vote on them and not just Congress. So far this year they have passed several bills which they have not ever read or know what is in them, but we are left picking up the TAB for the banquet they have created. The only thing which they should have the right to vote for is what is in the Constitution and required for the government to operate. I guess you can thank the public education system for Congress critters not being able to read, since their job is to make everyone feel good and not to excel, since achieving harms someone else’s feelings.

They are spending what the can extort from the taxpaying public and business. Then again business do not have any money, you pay their taxes by purchasing their products.

We have African-American, or Mexican-American, or Vietnamese-American, instead of hyphenating geo-ethic backgrounds, we should all be AMERICANS. Liberals have segmented America in to little groups so they can control them, by rewarding them with votes, we’ll give you a month in the calendar year that will be yours, and we will pass special legislation for you to have not equal right but special rights. With us fighting each other because of diversity they get to play GOD with our money, rights and sprit, to destroy us and rule us with their mighty proclamations. Most of these people go to congress dirt poor, but always leave millionaires, due to fleecing the taxpayers and insider trading and payments by special interest groups for the government’s largess.

Farrar believed that Kopechne “lived for at least two hours down there.” If you want to pass a healthcare bill, call it “Kopechne Care” as a reminder of how politicians abuse power and use their political clout and connections to impoverish this nation and jeopardize our freedoms.

He left the scene of the accident, passed homes with their lights on as he made his way back to his hotel, did not immediately report the accident, and two fishermen reported the submerged car at 8:20 the next morning. A diver was brought in, and Kopechne’s body was discovered around 8:45 AM. The diver, John Farrar, later testified at the inquest that Kopechne’s body was pressed up in the car in the spot where an air bubble would have formed. He interpreted this to mean that Kopechne had survived for a while after the initial accident in the air bubble, and concluded: Sat, 29 Aug 2009 14:05:26 +0000 http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=CNG.4ddb01894d03c56d72d3fc2bab13de7b.3d1#IDComment32467967 http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=CNG.4ddb01894d03c56d72d3fc2bab13de7b.3d1#IDComment32467885 Death is the great equalizer. It’s the door that we all have to pass through (Heb. 9:27). In life, no one is really equal, not even before the law. Ted Kennedy used the tragedies of others to increase the power of the Federal Government. He has been described as a lion, but we were his prey. It’s easy to be beneficent with other people’s money. Recounting Kennedy’s legislative legacy is little more than a list of ever-growing government programs that have cost tax-payers hundreds of billions of dollars. Now the Democrats want to pass the multi-trillion dollar healthcare bill in honor of the last of the Kennedy brothers by calling it KennedyCare. They learned this trick from the political master himself. Kennedy survived the Chappaquiddick incident because of the sentiment the people had for his two assassinated brothers, and the fact that Ted could bring home a lot of pork.

Finally some of the liberal garbage is being throwing out.

The only good journalist and lawyer is a dead one. The people who are doing this should get medals and parades, they are a national treasure. The bigger problem is that that have bred and passed the gene, so we can never total eliminate it.

Real Science – Science which is backed by facts and data. Global Warming Science is based on facts which interpret data which is faulty, for example, how does one provide for the account for solar radiation, sun spot cycle, mass of the oceans as a heat sink, cyclic heating an cooling of the land area, normal temperature changes, cloud cover, wind, mankind input and etc. to place this in a computer model and say we have all the answers is faulty, since we do not have a understand of all these events, we have only very recently begun to just start to understand these things, to define a mathematical model with too few data points only lead to faulty understanding of the problem. Right now I do know is all about money and not real science. The biggest backers of this, own the business which will benefit from the cash flow, which Congress is mandating. Force may make hypocrites, but it can never make converts.

If you took away their funds I would bet you they would be on the next thing which would pay for their research. They only work on what pays their bills, not real science. I guess I am a Global Warming Heretic. Sat, 25 Apr 2009 11:37:16 +0000 http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D97P0JM80#IDComment19888482
