Where Was the Messiah Born? Kenya? Hawaii? It Doesn't Matter, Let's Just Get On With the Coronation.

"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."

--U. S. Constitution, Article II, Section I

The issue of where Obama was actually born has been dropped down the memory hole of the mainstream media. They don't care. They don't want to care. They adamantly refuse to make an issue of it.  Not like they did when they brought up the subject of John McCain's being born in the Panama Canal Zone when his father was an admiral in the Navy.  They quickly dropped that subject when, (a), McCain provided the necessary documentation to prove his eligibility, and, (b), they realized how vulnerable Obama was to this same scrutiny, and were only too happy when he threw them a bone by posting an image of a birth certificate on the Internet!

This matter of "natural born citizenship" may seem like an anachronistic technicality to some people. But it serves as a revealing microcosm of how condescendingly the Left views the Constitution.

Here is a basic summary of what the Left thinks of the Constitution. On matters they would like to change (and have a reasonable likelihood of doing so), it is a "living, breathing, organic, changing" document. On matters they disagree with--either which they deem trivial and inconsequential, or for which there isn't enough popular support or "political will" for amendment--it is a dead letter. It is defective. It is deeply flawed. "Let's pretend it doesn't say that." Times have changed. We must update it.  Or replace it with something better: a democratic vote of the People (or an autocratic, dictatorial order from the Messiah).

This is the stated position of Barack Obama. Change everything he can get his hands on. The Constitution. The Supreme Court. The political system. The legal system. Religious institutions. Cultural institutions. All must be bent to the will of the Almighty Sovereign State, of which Barack will be in charge. This was Marx's substitute for submission to an omnipotent God. Barack and his most ardent supporters, like Marx's, don't care a whit what the bourgeois Constitution says. They just want their Deliverer of the Working Man from the Wrath of Capitalism to be installed into his Rightful Position. The election is merely a formality. A ceremony to ratify what has already been decided by the People via the polls. And the polls, say they, have spoken. Der Fuhrer must now be inaugurated. And he must have the absolute, uncontested power he needs to achieve the "change" that he and his followers/fellow-travellers have been clamoring for.  Change that must be implemented at all costs--regardless of what the Constitution says--by whatever means necessary, fair or foul, legal or illegal, moral or immoral. The end justifies the means.  There is too much at stake. Too much to lose (and so much to gain!).

So the stonewalling and silence continues. The complicity by the leftist media continues. The Obama juggernaut of lies and deceit continues. And the American political charade of 2008 moves inexorably forward, towards its pernicious conclusion.

One on One with the Vice-Messiah: Gutsy News Anchorwoman Dares to Ask Biden About the Marxist Elephant in Obama's Livingroom

My compliments to Barbara West of WFTV, Orlando, Florida, who had the audacity (that word keeps coming up whenever we talk about Barack Obama) to ask Sen. Joe Biden on live television some sharply pointed questions obviously directed at the extreme leftist agenda of Obama-Biden and Co.  The Messiah's campaign quickly denounced the exchange.  

Watch Biden chafe at the line of questioning. Obama is affiliated with a corrupt and subversive marxist-leaning political organization masquerading as a community services agency, ACORN. Obama is a radical leftist in his politics. Obama is a weak, inexperienced and untested leader--which the world's despots and dictators, be they socialist, communist, Islamofascist or just brute barbarian, will take full advantage of. Obama wants to refashion the U.S. into a socialist-workers' paradise like Sweden (and the rest of Europe). Obama has a decidedly Marxist approach to "spreading the wealth." Take from the haves and give to the have nots. (They used to call this theft, robbery and extortion. Now they call it "economic democracy," but I digress.) The news anchor even quoted the venerable Mr. Marx himself--a quote many people have thought comes from the Bible! O, our illiteracy and historical ignorance knows no bounds!

Biden's final, terse answer is telling: "the only people who think that are the far right wing of the Republican party." Really? Well, in that case, the far-right wing of the Republican party is, uh, right.

Behold, The Messiah Cometh, Not to Bring Peace, But,... Jimmy Carter's 2nd Term.

Dan Rather was right.  When Joe Biden said yesterday that Obama's becoming president would instigate "a major international challenge, because they are going to want to test him just like they did young John Kennedy," the media's suppression today of Biden's remarks is something that would never have happened had Sarah Palin been the one who said it.

He is so right.  Biden knows something many of us don't.  Don't forget, Biden is a consummate Washington insider of long standing.  He said he knew some of the world leaders he was referring to when they were "young parliamentarians."  (Where did Hugo Chavez do his parliamentarian internship, Leningrad?)  Biden knows just what will happen once the Messiah sits on his throne next January.  All hell will break loose.

Not only does this prediction conjure up memories--not mine, of course, I'm too young--of JFK's baptism-by-missile-fire in the Bay of Pigs fiasco with Cuba and Russia in 1961, it reminds me of Jimmy Carter and the Iran hostage crisis of 1979-80.  Recession.  Stagflation.  Economic Malaise.  (That I do remember.)

The world is indeed waiting and watching.  The communists are watching (they want Barack to win).  The socialists are watching (they want Barack to win).  The Islamo-fascists are watching (they want Barack to win).  The African despots and dictators are watching (they really want Barack to win!).

What does that tell us?  That these global visigoths are in love with him the way the American Left is in love with him?  No!  These people want Barack the same way Goliath wanted David.  To them Barack is roadkill.  A pigeon.  A chicken waiting to be plucked.  A lamb waiting to be slaughtered.   To them he represents the soft, (pardon the turn of phrase here) white underbelly of all that is reprehensible about the U. S.   Its bravado.  Its military machismo.  Its empty rhetoric and two-faced foreign policy.

Economically speaking, an Obama presidency will also resemble Carter's in its sheer ineptitude at economic and fiscal policy.  The politics of American fascism will continue, as it has under Bush I, Clinton and Bush II.  Of course, in that regard (and in many others as well) an Obama presidency would also resemble that of FDR, Lyndon Johnson and Woodrow Wilson. 

And Now a Word from Barack the Magnificent, the Erudite, the Eloquent One: "Look,..."

Obama showed his true (or maybe false) colors last night in the third and final presidential debate.  He was defensive, arrogant, evasive, prevaricating, dishonest, vapid and magisterial, all at the same time.  In short, he was being himself.

But focusing on what he said rather than how he said it, Barack is still an ideological Marxist.  His plans to raise taxes on the "wealthy"--people like aspiring businessman, Joe the plumber of Holland, Ohio.  (Heaven help Joe if he should have not only the misfortune of buying the plumbing business he works for, but also the audacity of prospering at it).  The language of Barack is class-warfare and anti-capitalist rhetoric, pure and simple.

McCain rightly confronted him on several fronts, like William Ayers, ACORN, taxes and the economy, etc..  Barack clumsily slithered out of McCain's grasp each time, either outright lying or simply using his Chicago thug-lawyering tactics to weasel out of the controversies.  It was certainly not Barack's best performance.   To his credit, McCain kept trying to play hardball, and Barack kept trying to unlevel the playing field.

One thing we can be sure of now that there are no more staged, filtered, dog-and-pony shows for the candidates to strut their stuff in.  Barack has shown he is not invincible.  He is not infallible.  He is not unfathomable.  He is incorrigible.  And he most certainly is incredible (by the dictionary's definition).

With all the questions and controversies swirling around him--like the dust cloud perpetually swirling around Pig Pen in the old Peanuts comics--he tries hard to be a "teflon" candidate.  But by the time all is said and done, he will prove to be a "velcro" one, and a very prickly one at that.

ACORN: Association of Conspiring Organizations for Revolution Now

The revelations coming to light about Obama's affiliations with ACORN--and the absolutely repugnant activities this bunch of hooligans has been engaging in--are truly breathtaking.  This sham organization has been gaming the political system and making a mockery of our democratic process for how many years now, bilking taxpayers, misleading donors and the general public, stuffing ballot boxes, conducting fraudulent voter registration drives, and overall operating like, well, your typical, out-of-control government-sponsored bureaucracy laden with corruption and vice, with little or no accountability to anyone, and a very long and well-connected pipeline with cash flowing through it from several sources (some above ground, some not).

It seems like the perfect vehicle for someone interested in some good old-fashioned subterfuge and political chicanery to achieve a stated goal of wresting the levers of power from the oppressive majority (the Bourgeois) and placing them, spuriously, into the hands of the wrongfully denied People (the Proletariat).  "Power to the People!"  The working people that is.  Working poor, minority people especially.  Or just plain poor, non-working, minority, disenfranchised people, who if given half a chance are more than happy and willing to vote Democrat in the next election. 

Qualified voters must be really hard to come by when ACORN has to register a teenage boy 73 times, along with the Dallas Cowboys starting lineup and even Mickey Mouse. (Is he a U.S. citizen?)

Last Chance to Keep a Marxist Out of the White House

I hear Obama talking to voters who are concerned about his tax-and-spend agenda, and I cringe when I hear his responses.

Case in point: Barack told a plumber he was speaking to that while he doesn't want to "punish" the man for making a good living, he does think it is only "fair" that "we spread the wealth" for the benefit of those who are still lagging behind economically.  Translation: this white guy needs to quit whining and get ready to cough up some more dough so that the poor and needy, disadvantaged brothers and sisters in his neighborhood can get some relief--via Barack the Merciful--from their abject poverty and destitution--from which only Barack and his Democrat band of merry men can deliver them.

Sounds so generous, so big-hearted and fair and logical until you realize that, wait a minute, in order for the government (i.e., the Obama regime) to spread this wealth, it must first extract it from its current owner, i.e., the person who earned it.

In the good old days, this used to be called theft.  Now it is called economic democracy.  Talk about doublespeak and Orwellian illogic.  It is a hallmark precept of classical marxism: "from each according to his ability, to each according to his need."  Translation: give it up or we'll take it from you by force (or by legislative fiat/executive order).   

Yeah, that's the change we need.
