A Thinking Reed

"Man is but a reed, the most feeble thing in nature, but he is a thinking reed" – Blaise Pascal

Weak tea

The RNC is now running this ad (at least in our television market):

Are voters not supposed to notice that John McCain also lacks executive experience and hasn’t sat in the Oval Office during a crisis? Weak.

They’ve also been running that ridiculous “I’m Joe the Plumber” ad about how that commie Obama will raise taxes on all those Joe Sixpacks making a paltry quarter of a million dollars a year. Who’s buying this?

  1. Reports quote information that certified copies of a Kenyan Birth Certificate (BC) for Obama were sent from Kenya, and have been received by three separate individuals.

    And that these documents are certified, with an embossed seal, and display the name of the hospital where Obama was born, as well as witness signatures.

    Reportedly this BC reflects information filed Oct. 9 by Philip Berg. See item #18 on this docket, page 10, the relevant language of which, underlined in red, is captured here in a screen shot:

    Barack Hussein Obama II

    By Judah Benjamin,

    It has been asserted by a number of sources, including Andy Martin, that Barack Hussein Obama was born in Mombasa, Kenya and not in Hawaii.

    Philip Berg’s Latest Motion to the Court is more explicit since it gives an exact Place of Birth. I must assume that Berg did not simply pluck the Location out of thin air, Mombasa has more than one Hospital, though Coast Provincial General was the best in 1961.

    British Birth Certificates have a Standard Format which has been more or less the same since 1837 and they can only be challenged in a British Court. Kenyan Law is explicit and can only be challenged in a Kenyan Court. Indonesian Law is explicit and can only be challenged in an Indonesian Court. Be clear, if Obama was born in Kenya this is not simply a matter for the US Courts, or US Law.

    If he was born in Kenya, and his parents were Legally Married [which on the Preponderance of Evidence they were, his father’s first “Marriage” being a Tribal, or Village, Marriage, which was not Legally Recognized] due to the age of his mother he would NOT have been a US Citizen. The Immigration and Nationality Act 1952, 8 U.S.C. 1401. Sec. 301 (g) [Effective November 14, 1986] does not apply, nor does Title III, Immigration and Nationality Act Section 309. [8 U.S.C. 1409].

    Unless he has taken the Oath of Allegiance as a Naturalized Citizen since he was 18 years old, and if he was born in Mombasa, Kenya, Barack Hussein Obama II would not be a US Citizen, period. The issue of whether or not he was Natural Born under Article II of the Constitution of the United States would cease to matter and he would need to be Deported as an Illegal Alien.

    Impeachment as a Senator would seem not to be necessary since he would never Legally have been one, but Diane Feinstein and the members of the Senate Ethics and Rules Committee would be liable to Impeachment. So would their opposite numbers in the Illinois Senate and the appropriate officials of the Illinois State Supreme Court and Bar, so far as I can see.

    If Senator Barack Hussein Obama II was born in The Coast Provincial General Hospital at Mombasa in Kenya at 7.24 PM on August 4th 1961, or at any other time, he is not a Natural Born Citizen of these United States and he never was. Philip J Berg, Esq, is correct, under the Nationality Act of 1940, as Revised June 1952 and in accord with United States of America vs Cervantes-Nava 281 F 3d 501 (2002) and Drozd vs INS, 155 F 3d 81, 85-88 (2d Circuit 1998) Senator Barack Hussein Obama II would not ever have been a Legal US Citizen at all, unless he was Naturalized.

    If he was born in The Coast Provincial General Hospital at Mombasa in Kenya any Certificate, or Certification of Live Birth, issued for him by the State of Hawaii is a Fraudulent and Illegal Document. At Birth he would have been a UK and Colonies Citizen and in accord with the Kenyan Constitution he would have become a Kenyan Citizen in December 1963. He would not have been a US Citizen.

    Alternatively, his UK and Colonies Birth Certificate issued in Mombasa in August 1961 could be a Fraudulent and Illegal Document. The two BCs would need to be compared. By this I mean the Original Vault Copy of the Hawaiian Birth Certificate and not the Amended, Post Adoption, Copy, Legally available to the Senator, assuming he was, as indicated by the Preponderance of Evidence, Adopted by Lolo Soetoro.

  2. What’s even more ridiculous is this claim that he isn’t a citizen. I think the DNC and the FBI and the Senate and everyone else would go to the trouble of asking for a birth certificate. Really.

    Oh, wait! It’s a vast conspiracy.

    And at this point we return to the nineties where it seemed like every other right winger was a conspiracy nutjob. Or at least it seems that way in these parts.

  3. Vince Foster!

    (Also: I thought the conspiracy about Obama’s birth was supposed to be that he was secretly born in Indonesia — it’s Kenya now? You guys gotta get your story straight.)

  4. Also – fair warning: further conspiracy spam may be deleted if I don’t find it hilarious enough to leave up.

  5. Well, there would be that percentage of “prejudiced, uncritical stupid people” that exist in any society, and who just need some flimsy justifications to wave around.

    Ialready have enough reasons to dislike the guy, but I was interested to learn that McCain’s heroic war service involved crashing some planes, bombing civilians, getting himself captured, and then giving in to his Vietnamese captors. It’s understandable but not exactly the heroic image he projects. Plus this was kind of disturbing: http://www.democracynow.org/2008/10/23/report_mccain_suppressed_info_on_fellow

    I… wait a minute… MY prejudiced justifications aren’t flimsy! I swear!

    Anyways, you guys better elect Obama or I’m moving to… uh… Sweden!

  6. If there’s a candidate in the race whose eligibility for the White House is in doubt, it’s John McCain, who was born in the Panana Canal Zone, and not in one of the United States of America:
