Sarah Palin at the Tea Party Convention
Was The Obama Born in the U.S. of A.?
I’ve been writing this blogs for nearly three years now. Except for comments from relatives or friends, I seldom hear from my dozen or so readers. Today, after more than a 1000 post in three years I received a comment, for which I’m grateful, don’t get me wrong.
But the interesting thing to me is the topic that attracted a comment: the birth of The Obama, an issue that consumes a great deal of attention among those of us on the right side of the political spectrum. The fact that his birth records in Hawaii (as well as his college records) have been sealed only adds to the mystery and conspiracy theories.
The issue is important in that only natural born citizens may become president of the United States, according to the U.S. Constitution. If The Obama was not, in fact, born in Hawaii, or anywhere else in the U.S. of A, then he is not qualified to be president.
There apparently is a “certification of live birth,” seen below, that shows The Obama’s mom Stanley Ann Dunham gave birth in Hawaii to a son at 7:24 p.m., Aug. 4, 1961. Critics say the document is not an actual birth certificate. They further claim the document is a fake, even though plenty of independent organizations have seen and held the document and attest to its authenticity.
Islam Must Be Outlawed
From the U.K. Telegraph, another reason why Islam is a menace to civilization:
Medine Memi was found in a sitting position with her hands tied, in a two-metre hole dug under a chicken pen outside her home in Kahta, in the south-eastern province of Adiyaman.
Her father and grandfather have since been arrested and are due to face trial over her death. Her mother was also charged but has since been released.
Medine had first been reported missing 40 days earlier.
The informant told the police she had been killed following a family “council” meeting.
Media reports said the father had told relatives he was unhappy that his daughter – one of nine children – had male friends. The grandfather is said to have beaten her for having relations with the opposite sex.
A postmortem examination revealed large amounts of soil in her lungs and stomach, indicating that she had been alive and conscious while being buried.
“The report is blood curdling. According to our findings the girl who had no bruises on her body and no sign of narcotics or poison in her blood was alive and fully conscious when she was buried,” one official involved in the case told the Times.
It also emerged that Medine had repeatedly tried to report to police that she had been beaten by her father and grandfather days before she was killed. “She tried to take refuge at the police station three times, and she was sent home three times,” her mother, Immihan, said after the body was discovered in December.
Birthers at the Tea Party Convention
I tend to agree with Andrew Breitbart that the whole The Obama birth certificate issue is a loony distraction.
But World Net Daily founder Joseph Farah spend about 40 minutes discussing the issue at the Tea Party convention.
From HotAir blog:
Dave Weigel has been covering the Tea Party Convention in Nashville for the Washington Independent, and earlier today walked into an unplanned but heated debate between World Net Daily’s Joseph Farah and Andrew Breitbart. Farah claimed that the Tea Party movement was partially fueled on the notion that Barack Obama isn’t really a native-born citizen of the US. When WND reporter Chelsea Schilling asked Breitbart- to comment on Farah’s speech, he criticized the attack and said the Tea Party movement would do better to focus on substance.
Here’s a link to C-Span’s coverage of Farah’s speech.
Really though, the whole issue would go away if The Obama would just produce the actual document, something he has refused to do.
Snow Blogging IV
A couple from the river.
Snow Blogging III
Just got back from walking the dog. Lots of snow piled up on the side of the road. That is, the roads that have been plowed, too many. Saw several people out and about on foot, and even a few fools in cars, most with four-wheel drive.
Although I did see one moron in a small sports car. Don’t expect him/her to get far. Looks like we’re heading for three feet of snow. My yard is easily at 30 inches and in just the time it took to walk down the street and back there was another inch on the front walk.
Here’s a pic of home sweet home (at least until the bank takes it):
More below the fold.

Pat Condell on the Trial/Crime of the Century
As usual, Brit Pat Condell strikes a blow for common sense and liberty:

‘Contempt for the American People’
Andrew Breitbart speaking at the Tea Party Convention:
Addressing the MSM he said, “It’s not your business model that suck. It’s you that sucks.”
So true.

Here’s some pics from around the house. Looks like two+ feet, maybe more…

To continue on a theme started with the last post…
An Islamic spiritual leader was arrested trying to smuggle razor blades into a jail.
From USA Today:
A jails chaplain was arrested Wednesday after he tried to smuggle three razor blades and a pair of scissors into a lockup, authorities said.
Imam Zul-Qarnain Shahid, 58, of Staten Island, was arrested at the Manhattan Detention Complex on Wednesday on several charges, including four counts of promoting prison contraband in the first degree, a felony. The Department of Investigation, which looks into cases of corruption or unethical conduct among city employees, did not have the name of his attorney. No home phone number was listed for Shahid.
He was expected to be arraigned on the charges later Wednesday.
The DOI said in a statement that Shahid was arrested while entering the jailhouse, known as the Tombs, when a bag he had brought with him triggered an alarm from the x-ray machine. An officer discovered the contraband inside the bag and Shahid was taken into custody, the DOI said.
Sheesh.
Why Terrorists Should Stay at Gitmo
Interesting story in the New York Post about a NY prison guard who was attacked and nearly killed by a pair of muslim terrorists being held at the jail while awaiting trial.
I was a federal prison guard at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan. In 2000, I was with a prisoner, Mamdouh Mahmud Salim, taking him back to his cell. His cellmate was Khalfan Khamis Mohamed. They were accused of bombing two embassies in Africa in 1998. Later they said that they worked with Osama bin Laden and that they helped set up al Qaeda.
We were back at their cell. It’s only me and those two guys. No supervisors. Just the three of us. Somehow, they slipped out of their handcuffs.
They sprayed me with some kind of hot sauce. I couldn’t see. They pulled me into the cell and hit me — boom, boom. They hit me so much, I swear to God, like a hundred times.
I hit my radio. I thought help would come.
They wanted the keys for the other prisoners, but they couldn’t find them. They were in my front pocket. I used to be big, 300 pounds, and I was laying on them. I gave them my car keys.
About halfway through, they used a comb — thick and long, about 10 inches, with a handle. They’d taken the teeth out and sharpened it like a knife.
They put it in my left eye. It went three inches into my brain.
Nobody came. I kept calling and nothing. I was in there with them for an hour. It was f- – -ed up.
With my blood, they made the sign of the cross on my chest because they thought I was dead.
He was found, taken to the hospital where he was in a coma, had surgery for his damaged eye (he was permanently blinded). It took several years for his body to heal from the ordeal.
To me the simple solution to the terrorists incarceration and trial delimma is simply kill them when captured. Torture the shit out of them until they give up all the information possible, and then kill them. Period.
Maybe wrap their bodies in bacon before returning them to their relatives.
