Just Say No
Republicans finally find their role. Newer, but better? Gran letdown. Plus more.
(Page 6 of 6)
What happened to Obama’s promise to seniors? What do you call
someone who promises you something over and over again, and then
forgets about it when it’s to his advantage? There are several
words that come to mind, but I’d start by calling that person a
liar.

SHINING EXAMPLES
I’m not going to pay my taxes this year.
I face this decision with calm.
Should I have to face down the IRS
I’ll call Timothy, Charlie and Tom.
Because of their shining examples
I know this harassment will stop.
We can all be secure in withholding these dues.
It’s good to have friends at the top.

DIE DIE DIE
Re: R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr.’s Bill Kristol’s Departure:
Upon reading Emmett Tyrrell’s piece on the decision of the New York Times to no longer require the services of Bill Kristol, I was reminded of the climactic scene in the movie Billy Bathgate.
Perhaps David Brooks, in the Stephen Hill role, pushed Bill
Kristol (as Billy Bathgate) out of the Times’ op-ed club
so he wouldn’t be there when Lucky Luciano’s crowd showed up to
wipe everybody out. Metaphorically speaking, of course.

Simply stated, the “Gray Old Lady” can not die quick

The Joint Chiefs of Staff HAVE AN ABSOLUTE CONSTITUTIONAL DUTY to stand behind Guantanamo Military Judge James Pohl UNTIL OBAMA OVERCOMES “RES IPSA LOQUITUR” BY SUPPLYING HIS LONG FORM BIRTH CERTIFICATE AND PROVING HIS ELIGIBILITY TO BE PRESIDENT UNDER ARTICLE 2 OF THE US CONSTITUTION.

Mr. Rainier and Mr. van Essen said some mighty important stuff. David Bonn too, although I don't subscribe to his "social" conservatism. I remain astounded that there are still some real coherent thinkers around, folks who haven't been brainwashed by the all-knowing and uber-sanctimonious media and pundits.
Nah, actually that queezy feeling is probably fostered by the McCain, Chester Trent Lott, Susan Collins/Olympia Snowe contingency in DC; the many wimpy Republicans of recent years wanting (so very much) to be liked/accepted by their peers and creepy-crawlers within the Beltway -- you know, the Chris Matthews types, and those who worship at the shrine of Christine Anampour. I'm fairly certain one exists....
Good stuff -- keep it coming, please!

Ted,
Enough is enough. Born of or to an American citizen makes one an American citizen - period, full stop, end of story. Even were Obama born outside of the United States, your argument is moot and distracting.
Ted| 2.3.09 @ 7:44AM
"Citizen" as under the Constitution's 14th Amendment is not the issue.
The issue is "natural born citizen" pertaining to unique qualification for President under the Constitution's Article 2.
"citizen" does NOT equal "natural born citizen"
