conservative, republican, bush, religion, obama, porter (I'm testing something I heard about searchability, please ignore. If you can't ignore, please let me know.)
Well, now I know how Bush got elected: Janet Porter, Bush apologist, uncompassionate conservative, religious zealot, was part of the recount team. (Shouldn't that sort of work be done by people a little less biased?)
She now gives us Thank You, President Bush. who doesn't like lying and torture and war?
As President Bush leaves office today, I stand in respect and gratitude for a man who did an enormous amount of good in the last eight years. what good? show your work.
I was a part of the recount team in Broward and Palm Beach Counties in 2000. I saw the hanging, pregnant and dimpled chads up close – along with the miracle of God's grace in giving us President George W. Bush for the last eight years. see, this is why i'm an atheist. if god's that much of an ignorant asshole, i'm not playing.
Before you itemize a list off all the ways you think he's let us down war, torture, lies, the patriot act, i could do this all day, I want to confess that I – that we, the church, have let him down. i know what's coming next, lack of deity, i do. I told the president that I would pray for him every day and I meant it. sigh But life got in the way and I would go days, sometimes weeks, without remembering to lift him up in prayer. Mr. President, I am sorry.
You know about that plane that got geese in the engine and the pilot had to land it in the Hudson River, saving everyone's lives? Well, there's been a lot of "They were praying! God saved them! God is great!" (a) who put the geese in the plane's path? and (b) isn't every crashing airplane filled with praying people? why doesn't god save all of them? they weren't praying hard enough, that's why. oh, and if your child dies of cancer, your fault, too. if you had prayed hard enough, it wouldn't have happened.
For eight years, it seems that all he's heard about is what he's done wrong. But Mr. President, let me be among the first to say thank you for all the things you've done right. He's President (for 43 more minutes), of course he should be called on his mistakes, asshat!
Beginning with yesterday, thank you for commuting the sentences of border agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean.
in case you are unfamiliar with Ramos and Compean, they shot an admitted drug dealer while he fleeing into mexico and then tried to cover it up. generally, if you do something good and right, you don't try to cover it up.
They will finally go free for the "crime" of doing their job and keeping our borders safe from drug smuggling illegal aliens. some guy with marijuana. i feel safer now.
Thank you most of all for your incredible and unparalleled legacy for life! huh, isn't abortion still legal? wierd.
Thank you for sending a letter to the Democratic leaders in Congress (2007) threatening to veto any bill that weakened existing pro-life policy. i'd say something like "oh, he wrote a letter!" but that probably was a difficult, time-consuming task for Bush.
Thank you for defining the term "child" from conception to birth in the Children's Health Insurance Program (S-CHIP) through your former Secretary of Health and Human Services Tommy Thompson in 2002. thank you for making sure less people can use S-CHIP. once they're born, who the fuck cares?
Thank you for protecting the freedom of conscience for health care workers your vagina is getting in the way of my morals! (2008), through your Health and Human Services Secretary Mike Leavitt who issued a regulation to protect the rights of federally funded health care providers to decline to participate in services to which they morally object, including abortion. and giving birth control to women. funny how viagra is never a moral issue.
Thank you for twice signing the executive orders that kept human embryos from being used for spare parts and prohibiting federal funds to be used for destructive embryonic stem cell research. Michael J. Fox no doubt thanks you, too!
Thank you for appointing two Supreme Court justices who are committed to upholding the United States Constitution: John Roberts and Samuel Alito.
Thank you for your threat of a veto that kept the most dangerous threat to our freedom of speech, religion and association from becoming law: the so-called "hate crimes" bill. It seems to me that those who are so concerned about controlling speech that could be interpreted as being "offensive" should take a look at their own. The mocking, ridicule and hatred against this man is unparalleled. I'd list examples, but they would exceed my column word limit. that's right, you only get freedom of speech if you agree with Ms. Porter. otherwise, STFU!
Thank you, Mr. President, for standing up against a flood of criticism to do what is right. torture? war? patriot games?
Thank you for keeping our country safe from attack since Sept. 11, 2001. what is that about? why do we count from 9/11/01 on? hello, he was president on 9/11! saying that he kept us safe is like saying that Jeffrey Dahmer's been a really great guy since he died. The president rightly said in his farewell address: "There is legitimate debate about many of these decisions. But there can be little debate about the results. loss of freedom and the entire planet hates us? yeah! America has gone more than seven years without another terrorist attack on our soil." YOU'VE. BEEN. PRESIDENT. FOR. EIGHT. YEARS. The results speak for themselves. yes, now USians die in other countries, along with innocent civilians in those countries. but who cares about Iraqis. they're all muslim and stuff. We've been safe on our soil while President Bush was at the helm. Thank you, sir.
We went on with our lives as usual after 9/11, maybe you did, you psychopath, but that day scarred me for life. i still get nervous about planes overhead. but as he stated in his address, President Bush "never did." why should he have? that's not the mark of a great guy, that's just human. And for that I am grateful. Thank you for understanding the battle against a hostile Islamic takeover oh my nonexistent deity, i'm going to have to apologize to the muslim community again. is the struggle between "two dramatically different systems." It is not about two equal ideologies we should work to appease. Rather, as he stated in his farewell address, the colliding worldviews are not moral equivalents: "Under one, a small band of fanatics demands total obedience to an oppressive ideology, condemns women to subservience and marks unbelievers for murder. let's see here, i've exposed the fundamentalist christians as demanding total subservience from women, total obedience to jesus, and the slaughter of gays in the streets. wait, who's the small band of fanatics again? The other system is based on the conviction that freedom is the universal gift of Almighty God stop that! i believe that freedom is the universal right of all human beings. don't need no almighty nothing for that. and that liberty and justice light the path to peace." why are we using bombs and guns, then? this is just confusing.
I am grateful we had a president for eight years with moral clarity. torture represents moral clarity. As he said in his last address: "I have often spoken to you about good and evil. This has made some uncomfortable. But good and evil are present in this world, and between the two there can be no compromise." i have spoken about good and evil and then done evil. actions speak louder than words.
You remember eight years ago when people were unable to recognize that highjacking planes and flying them into buildings was something we could uniformly recognize as "evil." We even had people like Bill Maher confuse that terrorism with an act of "bravery." What a confused society we have become. And I am grateful for President Bush's willingness to call evil evil. Woe to those who call evil good. oh, please.
In that same address, the president also said: "Murdering the innocent to advance an ideology is wrong every time, everywhere." how many iraqis have died in a war he lied to start? over 150,000. why doesn't any of this apply to muslims? Of course, "every time" and "everywhere" includes in the womb. It is wrong, and this president stood against it.
So I would encourage my fellow Americans to stop complaining about President Bush long enough to look at the incredible good he's done. what freakin' good? Thank him. Thank God for him. And if you don't agree with my words, then just brace yourself for what's to come without him. science run by scientists? actual real education for children? health care? ooh, i'm trembling.

The Story of the Century
I love it when, at the beginning of a year, decade or century, somebody declares something "the story of the year/decade/century." Every January, some schlockfest of a movie declares itself the "movie of the year." Yeah, it's January. There's been like one other movie. Calm down.
This leads us to Janet Porters latest foray into unreality, Make the media cover the story of the century. (Yeah, the picture is entirely random, I just like it.)
One of the most often asked questions regarding whether or not Barack Obama meets the constitutional requirements for the office of president is: "Why hasn't the 'mainstream' media covered this?" Good question. I bet that's not the most asked question. I bet the most asked question is "Are you fucking nuts?", or for the more polite "What is the matter with you?" or "Do you need your Thorazine refilled?" Those have to be the top 3 questions. "Why hasn't the 'mainstream' media covered this?" is probably the 53rd most asked question.
Also, why is "mainstream" in quotes? It's the mainstream media or it's not. Maybe I should send Ms. Porter to a grammar website.
Well, one thing we found out in the last election is there isn't anything "mainstream" about the "mainstream" media. There is no longer any doubt about their pro-Obama bias – even the Washington Post came out and admitted it.
All right, let's examine what "mainstream" means. The definition of "mainstream" is the principal or dominant course, tendency, or trend. Obama received 53% of the popular vote. Therefore, the principal or dominant court, tendency or trend was to support Obama. And, the Washington Post did not admit a pro-Obama bias- it's the word "bias" that's important in that sentence- they came out in support of a candidate. Newspapers do that all the time. It's not bias. And, had the Washington Post come out in support of McCain, you know Ms. Porter would not be all upset about it.
If it weren't for WorldNetDaily, a few radio talk shows and some blogs, we wouldn't even know about the constitutional crisis we're in. The job of the media is not to report every disproven conspiracry theory any idiot can come up with. It is to report actual, provable news. Look what happened to Rather. He did what Ms. Porter is doing- latching onto anything negative someone said about a politican he hated- and he got spanked for it. He got spanked because there was no proof and he didn't do enough research.
Interestingly, these are the first things on the chopping block in an unchecked Obama administration. Yes, yes, yes, Obama is going to remove the First Amendment. All by hisself. Even assuming Obama wanted to do that, he couldn't. The President cannot unilaterally change the Constitution. The Constitution can only be changed via an Amendment initiated by Congress or a state, which then has to be ratified (or voted for) by a certain number of states. So, even if the President did try to remove the First Amendment, a majority of USians would have to agree to it. File that under not very fucking likely.
Look, we're not asking for the world here. You don't have to be "asking for the world" to be making an unreasonable request. Neither is the Constitution. Sentence fragment. What isn't the Constitution doing? Do inanimate object actually "do" anything? Guess it depends on what your definition of "is" is. Some pretty basic requirements like being 35 years old, Please, please, please form a complete sentence. Please. having 14 years residency in the United States, and being a natural born citizen. The children of US citizens are US citizens no matter where they are born. Otherwise, the children of diplomats in other countries wouldn't be US citizens. You can see how awkward that would get. When Sen. John McCain was questioned about it, he showed his birth certificate without hesitating. When Barack Obama was asked by courts, including the U.S. Supreme Court, he ducked and hid behind the right to privacy. Even responding to this particular request is giving it a legitimacy it doesn't deserve.
Ironically, when Obama was running for the Illinois Senate, he won by disqualifying every candidate who ran against him in the primary, including a guy who had been through a nasty and salacious divorce. How is that irony? Irony is a technique of indicating, as through character or plot development, an intention or attitude opposite to that which is actually or ostensibly stated Even though he had a small child who could be hurt by the information being made public, a court decided that the public's "right to know" outweighed this poor fella's right to privacy, and he backed out. Obama clings to the "right to privacy" regarding his own qualifications, just not his opponents.
Here's the actual irony: McCain and Palin spent the campaign shouting the Obama (who also has young children) is a MUSLIM!TERRORIST!HE'sBLACK! and Ms. Porter is complaining that Obama questioned an opponents morals? Does Ms. Porter read anything she writes? Remember that old lady telling McCain she was afraid because Obama is an "Arab"? Remember the crowd at Palin's hate rally shouting n***er at a random black cameraman? I do.
The second most-asked question or the 67th most asked question about Obama's citizenship is: "Don't you think someone would have found out the answer to these questions before now?" Also an outstanding question. Is it that hard to write a complete sentence involving a subject and a verb? Phil Berg,
*we interrupt this post for a visit to a previous post*
In 2005 Philip Berg was fined and sanctioned $10,000 for having committed a "laundry list of unethical actions." "Other attorneys should look to Mr. Berg's actions as a blueprint for what not to do when attempting to effectively and honorably perform the duties of the legal profession," Joyner wrote."This court has grown weary of Mr. Berg's continuous and brazen disrespect toward this court and his own clients. Mr. Berg's actions ... are an enormous waste of judicial time and resources that this court cannot, in good conscience, allow to go unpunished." That's the man leading the charge against Obama.
*resume regularly scheduled blogging*
whose case is now before the U.S. Supreme Court, not only filed suit in August but also copied Democratic Party Chairman Howard Dean on the matter before Obama was chosen as the nominee. I am a legal secretary, and I can tell you that as long as I have the filing fees and the time, I can file any lawsuit I want, against anyone I want, and copy anyone I want. I would have thought that something as important as whether a potential nominee is qualified to serve in office might be worth a question or two prior to the party's selection. Sure, if the information were true or relevant. But that information was ignored, and now they're just hoping it will all go away. I'm hoping Ms. Porter will go away. If wishes were dollars . . .
It won't. Not until Obama comes forward with the proof that the American people want and the Constitution demand. The Constitution demands, with an "s", the Constitution being a singular noun. Yeesh!
But what can an ordinary citizen do to defend the Constitution? Grab a katana? Instead of sitting on the sidelines wringing our hands, we can do something about it. Funny, that's not how I spend my time. If the "news" channels won't cover what may be the biggest story of our lifetime, I say, let's buy it. Ms. Porter wants to buy what? Our lifetime? The biggest story? When you use a pronoun such as "it", the pronoun refers to the last appropriate noun mentioned. In the case, "it" would refer either to "lifetime" or "story". Ms. Porter wants to buy a story? Hmmmm. Help put this television ad on the air – watch it at obamaforgery.com: Tell me what it's like, I don't get sound on my computer at work.
Heard the rumors about Barack Obama's citizenship? Sure, I chose not to believe what every nutbag in the religious rights says.
These are the facts: only if you define "facts" as "whatever I happen to say"
The Constitution requires the president to be a natural born citizen. true
Obama's grandmother said she there when Barack was born in Kenya. can we leave the woman alone? I can't find anything on this other than on wnd and related fundysites.
Obama refuses to release his original birth certificate. i wouldn't respond to this, either.
Instead of a birth certificate, Obama's campaign posted a certification given to those born abroad.
Experts have called even that document an "obvious forgery." experts identified by username!
Obama attended school in Indonesia as Barry Soetoro, when only Indonesian citizens were permitted to attend. *sigh* Mr. Soetoro was a citizen, so his stepson was allowed to attend. We allow the same thing in the US. Also, I can call myself by any name I want, that doesn't make it my legal name.
Obama's school records list his father as Lolo Soetoro and Obama's citizenship as Indonesian. Indonesian school records now trump the Constitution? That's an unfortunate argument to make. What she's really getting at is that Obama is MUSLIM!TERRORIST!HE's BLACK!
Obama traveled to Pakistan in 1981 when it was illegal to enter as a U.S. citizen. US Citizens were never banned from entering Pakistan. What Ms. Porter is referring to is a "travel advisory". The US issues travel advisories based on current diplomatic relationships and recent violent events. Right now, it is legal to US citizens to travel to India. Given the recent tragedies in Mumbai, it is inadvisable.
Sixteen lawsuits in 12 states and two cases before the Supreme Court now challenge Obama's citizenship. Again, any idiot can file any lawsuit, regardless of merit.
Fact: Our Constitution still matters. That is a fact.

Illuminati Pictures,
Go to www. Faith2Action.org and watch the ad. Any Web donation to Faith2Action from now until Dec. 15 will go directly toward airtime to place this ad on television. How much is it going to take? Well, $12,000 buys a national 60-second ad on Fox News between 5 and 6 p.m. I say let's buy a few of those and publicize it so the rest of the world finally hears about the constitutional crisis we're in. Then, the Bill O'Reillys, Sean Hannitys and Rush Limbaughs may decide to cover the story of the century.
Oh, now I understand the quotes around mainstream. She can't even get O'Reilly, Hannity and Limbaugh to cover this? Ms. Porter is full of fail.Tuesday, November 18, 2008
Janet Porter Continues to Amuse
First of all, the title of the article I am dissecting is "1 Last Chance to Fight for Our Constitution". What, "one" is just too long? Two more key strokes was just too much effort. Yeesh.
Former Deputy Attorney General Philip Berg
We're stopping right there. "Deputy Attorney General" seems very impressive, doesn't it? It's the preceding modifier that should grab your attention: "former". Would you like to know why he is a "former" Deputy Attorney General? Sure ya do!
In 2005 he was fined and sanctioned $10,000 for having committed a "laundry list of unethical actions." "Other attorneys should look to Mr. Berg's actions as a blueprint for what not to do when attempting to effectively and honorably perform the duties of the legal profession," Joyner wrote."This court has grown weary of Mr. Berg's continuous and brazen disrespect toward this court and his own clients. Mr. Berg's actions ... are an enormous waste of judicial time and resources that this court cannot, in good conscience, allow to go unpunished," Joyner wrote. So why is Ms. Porter continuing to worship at the alter of Berg?
continuing on
filed a lawsuit addressing the citizenship status of Barack Obama before the Democratic National Convention and copied Democratic Chairman Howard Dean. It should have alerted them that there was a possible problem before they selected their nominee. Actually, anyone with any sense would recognize that ANYONE can file a lawsuit for any reason, or no good reason at all, if they can pay the filing fees. I can sue God if I want to. Simply filing a lawsuit doesn't prove a thing. But that problem was ignored. Other lawsuits filed before Nov. 4 were also ignored, placing us in what could be a constitutional crisis. Actually, even if Obama were not a US citizen, and still became President, it wouldn't create a constitutional crisis. It would create a presidential crisis, but that's not the same thing. The good news is the real election hasn't taken place yet. The Electoral College doesn't meet until Dec. 15. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Technically true, but not the entire truth. The Electoral College is not allowed to vote any damn way they please. They must vote the will of the people. (Don't ask me why we can't just vote directly.) That gives us (please stop including me in blanket, baseless statements.) less than a month to find the answers to the looming questions (they're big and shadowy and BLACK!) regarding whether Barack Obama meets the constitutional requirements for the office of president.
The courts don't seem to be in any hurry to take up their responsibility as guardians of the Constitution probably because, as you can see above, or right here, the Courts know all about Philip Berg, Esquire, and have way too much actual work to do to waste time on his baseless, attention-seeking lawsuit, so now Congress must step in. Sure, because that's what Congress is for, to reject legally elected Presidents. You see, members of Congress are sworn to uphold the Constitution, and when they vote in January to confirm (or reject) the vote of the Electoral College, they can't very well do that unless they know for certain that the basic constitutional requirements for office have been met. Ya know, 'cause nobody ever vets candidates before the election.
An ad running this week in the Washington Times Weekly asks three questions America needs to know: "Was Barack Obama really born in Kenya?" "Is he really a citizen of Indonesia?" And, "Does the Constitution still matter?" I have noted previously that Ms. Porter seems to believe that any claim, no matter how unfounded or ridiculous, that appears in any sort of media, instantly becomes relevant and factual. Apparently, if I take out an ad in my local newspaper claiming that the earth is flat, that becomes a fact that should be printed in textbooks. Silly scientists! Why do all that research and stuff when all you have to do is appear on talk radio to make your theories become facts?
Thirdly, there's no original birth certificate – just a "certification of live birth" posted on a website experts say is forged and altered. Those "experts" are identified in the lawsuit by screen names. Yes, screen names. One of those names is "TechDude". I'm not kidding. (I have to wonder if Ms. Porter does even the most basic research.) I am a legal secretary. I type up legal documents from the notes that the attorneys provide all the time. If I identified an expert, or anyone at all, by their screen name, I would be fired. Immediately.
As the ad proclaims, "The Constitution matters" and is still worth defending. Not arguing there. Though I didn't learn that from an ad in a weekly paper. All we (stop including me) are asking is that Congress takes their oath to defend it seriously. If Obama can prove he meets the basic but essential constitutional requirements, fine, he'll serve legally. But if he cannot provide simple proof, then he cannot. We're not asking for the world here, just the original birth certificate that each of us delivers when getting a passport, driver's license or Social Security card. Interesting fact: I got my driver's license without an original birth certificate. We moved around a lot, and at some point it was lost. This insistence on the original is a little odd. I didn't need an original. If we can't tell the clerk at the post office to check out the digital photo of a certificate posted online, neither should the guy running for president. Obama never asked anyone to check out something posted online. Obama has never responded to this lawsuit at all, and the Court has not seen fit to make him. Your confusing Obama with Obama supporters. Members of Congress: If you have taken an oath to defend the Constitution, now's the time to keep it. Yeah, let the Court do its job. The executive and judicial branches are separate for a reason.
But I know the reasons for your hesitancy. I've faced them myself no, Ms. Porter, you haven't. You aren't a member of Congress, and you have swallowed this attention-seeking nonsense of Berg's hook, line, sinker and entire boat without question or research. You believe this because you want to, because your side lost and you can't stand that the majority of USians don't agree with you. and have come to the conclusion that if one of our founders, Patrick Henry, could proclaim, "Give me liberty or give me death," we can face our fears and stand for the document they penned that outlines our God-given rights to freedom. What the hell does Patrick Henry's quote have to do with this? Anyone? What if we asked our Founding Fathers, many of whom lost everything in the battle for our nation, if they think the Constitution is still worth defending? They already answered that question with their lives. Why the constant "death" stuff here? Is someone threatening Congress or the Courts with death? Is she dog whistling here? Maybe she is suggesting that the inevitable demonstrations and possible riots that would result if Congress invalidated the election and put McCain in the White House are acceptable results here. I can't tell.
Here is why she thinks people aren't behind this lawsuit and attempt to steal the Presidency from Obama (the thought that Obama won, fair and square, doesn't appear to have occurred to her):
"I better not be public on this because I'll become a target." News flash: If you believe in life, liberty and the family, you already are a target. The henchmen are selected; the gallows for our freedoms are already being built. Again with the death stuff. Ow! I think I heard the dog whistle. Follow me a little further down and I'll explain it to you. And the only candidate in history to never move an inch to the center during the campaign Oh yeah, Marx had nothing on Obama. I have friends in Europe who find the socialism accusation hysterical, because to them, Obama is right of center. has no intentions of changing his agenda of outlawing our viewpoint with the "unfairness doctrine," she made that up "thought crimes," this is a reference to hate crime laws. Janet Porter apparently thinks hate crimes are ok. "The Employment Non Discrimination Act" being a woman, I'm all about Employment Non Discrimination. Who the hell is for discrimination? Oh . . . the repeal of the Defense of Marriage Act Obama never said he would repeal this heinous bit of legislation. In fact, Biden said that while gays should be allowed civil unions, they should not be allowed marriages. Bad Biden! and all the rest what is the rest?. As I wrote about in my book, "The Criminalization of Christianity" (which will surely come true if we don't act now here's the dog whistle. see, Fundamentalist Christians love the idea of martyrdom (though I guarantee they wouldn't like the reality) but there is no martyring of Christians in this country. Christians are as free to be Christians as Jews are free to be Jews, Atheists are free to be Atheists-- and that's the problem. Fundamentalist Christians don't just want to be free to believe what they wish, they want to be free from ever seeing or interacting with others who believe something else. This criminalization she refers to is not being able to force me to convert. There's the dog whistle.), "Never fail to do the right thing for fear that the opposition will attack you in response. The other side can and will attack you anyway, at a time of their own choosing rather than yours, regardless of whether you act." If you attack for no good reason, on the other hand, you have made your position undefensible and thrown your morals in the toilet. (See: the Iraq war)
"We'll just beat him in four years." That's how the US works. Don't like what's going on now? Wait a little while. It'll change. In four years, we won't be able to recognize what's left of our country. Does she get how the US works? Does she even live here? And if you think taking on this issue right now is hard, try doing it when our radio airwaves are shut down and our freedoms are stripped from us, as he has promised to do. When? When did Obama threaten to defeat the laws of physics and destroy radio communication. If he can do that, he should be president for life. And with Obama's promise to pass the so-called Freedom of Choice Act as "the first thing" he does, you can say goodbye to the notion of protecting unborn children again – and goodbye to every law in all 50 states that notifies parents, keeps our tax dollars from footing the abortion bill and prevents even a single partial-birth abortion. Yeah, Janet, we'll break into your house and impregnate you against your will just so we can force you to have an abortion. That's how liberals roll!
"They'll say I'm a 'racist' and call it 'sour grapes.'" Yeah, that's pretty much how I see it. Our Founding Fathers faced death dog whistle, we face name-calling. Right now our U.S. soldiers are being shot at for the freedoms guaranteed in our Constitution. Not really. I love our armed forces, but I fail to see how killing people in Iraq is keeping me free here. If the Constitution isn't worth undergoing some name calling, then the oath taken to defend it means nothing. You wusses!
"Somebody else will do it." They haven't. And time is running out. There might be a reason why.
This isn't my responsibility." The lower court in Philadelphia threw out Phil Berg's case (which is now before the U.S. Supreme Court) based not on the merits, but on the issue of "standing," she makes this sound like some silly technicality. Standing is very important. Standing is a merit of a case, because standing is whether or not you are the correct party to file a lawsuit. For example, you stop paying your mortgage, which you have with First Bank. First Bank has standing to file suit against you. Second Bank does not. and pointed to the need for Congress to act. If the questions of constitutionality are not met before Congress is called upon to uphold the vote of the Electoral College, they cannot fulfill their oath and duty to uphold and defend the Constitution. If we are willing to ignore the constitutional requirements for the highest office in our land, what else are we willing to forgo? That part about free speech? Freedom of the press? Freedom of religion? The infamous slippery slope. "If we allow a rape victim to have an abortion, everyone will be forced to abort every baby!"
"We deserve what we got." What? How about, "Obama is our rightfully elected President"?That's true, so did the people of Nineveh random religious story to no apparent purpose who asked, "Who can tell if God will turn and relent, and turn away from His fierce anger, so that we may not perish?" If you're unfamiliar with the story recorded in Jonah, God didn't give the Ninevites what they deserved; and even though the judgment was pronounced against them, when they fasted, prayed, sought God and turned from their wicked ways, God had mercy and spared them from judgment. Then the Ninevites were the only people in the OT who were spared. God was very into genocide and baby killing back then.
"It's impossible." With God, all things are possible. Sure, Janet, I'm gonna flap my arms and fly away. Eight years ago the election was called for Al Gore by the media, and he never took office. If God is the same today as He was yesterday, He can still split the sea, raise the dead, stop the sun and reverse the results of the popular vote if the basic requirements of the Constitution are not met in the candidate. I'm not sure what's more appalling here, her understanding of theology, or her understanding of the democratic process. When Obama takes office, will she admit that God hates her?
Janet, I expect a press release in January about how God hates you, you were wrong and you will never speak or type again.

Actually, even if Obama were not a US citizen, and still became President, it wouldn't create a constitutional crisis. It would create a presidential crisis, but that's not the same thing. The good news is the real election hasn't taken place yet. The Electoral College doesn't meet until Dec. 15. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Technically true, but not the entire truth. The Electoral College is not allowed to vote any damn way they please. They must vote the will of the people. (Don't ask me why we can't just vote directly.) That gives us (please stop including me in blanket, baseless statements.) less than a month to find the answers to the looming questions (they're big and shadowy and BLACK!) regarding whether Barack Obama meets the constitutional requirements for the office of president.
The courts don't seem to be in any hurry to take up their responsibility as guardians of the Constitution probably because, as you can see above, or right here, the Courts know all about Philip Berg, Esquire, and have way too much actual work to do to waste time on his baseless, attention-seeking lawsuit, so now Congress must step in. Sure, because that's what Congress is for, to reject legally elected Presidents. You see, members of Congress are sworn to uphold the Constitution, and when they vote in January to confirm (or reject) the vote of the Electoral College, they can't very well do that unless they know for certain that the basic constitutional requirements for office have been met. Ya know, 'cause nobody ever vets candidates before the election.
An ad running this week in the Washington Times Weekly asks three questions America needs to know: "Was Barack Obama really born in Kenya?" "Is he really a citizen of Indonesia?" And, "Does the Constitution still matter?" I have noted previously that Ms. Porter seems to believe that any claim, no matter how unfounded or ridiculous, that appears in any sort of media, instantly becomes relevant and factual. Apparently, if I take out an ad in my local newspaper claiming that the earth is flat, that becomes a fact that should be printed in textbooks. Silly scientists! Why do all that research and stuff when all you have to do is appear on talk radio to make your theories become facts?
Thirdly, there's no original birth certificate – just a "certification of live birth" posted on a website experts say is forged and altered. Those "experts" are identified in the lawsuit by screen names. Yes, screen names. One of those names is "TechDude". I'm not kidding. (I have to wonder if Ms. Porter does even the most basic research.) I am a legal secretary. I type up legal documents from the notes that the attorneys provide all the time. If I identified an expert, or anyone at all, by their screen name, I would be fired. Immediately.
As the ad proclaims, "The Constitution matters" and is still worth defending. Not arguing there. Though I didn't learn that from an ad in a weekly paper. All we (stop including me) are asking is that Congress takes their oath to defend it seriously. If Obama can prove he meets the basic but essential constitutional requirements, fine, he'll serve legally. But if he cannot provide simple proof, then he cannot. We're not asking for the world here, just the original birth certificate that each of us delivers when getting a passport, driver's license or Social Security card. Interesting fact: I got my driver's license without an original birth certificate. We moved around a lot, and at some point it was lost. This insistence on the original is a little odd. I didn't need an original. If we can't tell the clerk at the post office to check out the digital photo of a certificate posted online, neither should the guy running for president. Obama never asked anyone to check out something posted online. Obama has never responded to this lawsuit at all, and the Court has not seen fit to make him. Your confusing Obama with Obama supporters. Members of Congress: If you have taken an oath to defend the Constitution, now's the time to keep it. Yeah, let the Court do its job. The executive and judicial branches are separate for a reason.
But I know the reasons for your hesitancy. I've faced them myself no, Ms. Porter, you haven't. You aren't a member of Congress, and you have swallowed this attention-seeking nonsense of Berg's hook, line, sinker and entire boat without question or research. You believe this because you want to, because your side lost and you can't stand that the majority of USians don't agree with you. and have come to the conclusion that if one of our founders, Patrick Henry, could proclaim, "Give me liberty or give me death," we can face our fears and stand for the document they penned that outlines our God-given rights to freedom. What the hell does Patrick Henry's quote have to do with this? Anyone? What if we asked our Founding Fathers, many of whom lost everything in the battle for our nation, if they think the Constitution is still worth defending? They already answered that question with their lives. Why the constant "death" stuff here? Is someone threatening Congress or the Courts with death? Is she dog whistling here? Maybe she is suggesting that the inevitable demonstrations and possible riots that would result if Congress invalidated the election and put McCain in the White House are acceptable results here. I can't tell.
Here is why she thinks people aren't behind this lawsuit and attempt to steal the Presidency from Obama (the thought that Obama won, fair and square, doesn't appear to have occurred to her):
"I better not be public on this because I'll become a target." News flash: If you believe in life, liberty and the family, you already are a target. The henchmen are selected; the gallows for our freedoms are already being built. Again with the death stuff. Ow! I think I heard the dog whistle. Follow me a little further down and I'll explain it to you. And the only candidate in history to never move an inch to the center during the campaign Oh yeah, Marx had nothing on Obama. I have friends in Europe who find the socialism accusation hysterical, because to them, Obama is right of center. has no intentions of changing his agenda of outlawing our viewpoint with the "unfairness doctrine," she made that up "thought crimes," this is a reference to hate crime laws. Janet Porter apparently thinks hate crimes are ok. "The Employment Non Discrimination Act" being a woman, I'm all about Employment Non Discrimination. Who the hell is for discrimination? Oh . . . the repeal of the Defense of Marriage Act Obama never said he would repeal this heinous bit of legislation. In fact, Biden said that while gays should be allowed civil unions, they should not be allowed marriages. Bad Biden! and all the rest what is the rest?. As I wrote about in my book, "The Criminalization of Christianity" (which will surely come true if we don't act now here's the dog whistle. see, Fundamentalist Christians love the idea of martyrdom (though I guarantee they wouldn't like the reality) but there is no martyring of Christians in this country. Christians are as free to be Christians as Jews are free to be Jews, Atheists are free to be Atheists-- and that's the problem. Fundamentalist Christians don't just want to be free to believe what they wish, they want to be free from ever seeing or interacting with others who believe something else. This criminalization she refers to is not being able to force me to convert. There's the dog whistle.), "Never fail to do the right thing for fear that the opposition will attack you in response. The other side can and will attack you anyway, at a time of their own choosing rather than yours, regardless of whether you act." If you attack for no good reason, on the other hand, you have made your position undefensible and thrown your morals in the toilet. (See: the Iraq war)
"We'll just beat him in four years." That's how the US works. Don't like what's going on now? Wait a little while. It'll change. In four years, we won't be able to recognize what's left of our country. Does she get how the US works? Does she even live here? And if you think taking on this issue right now is hard, try doing it when our radio airwaves are shut down and our freedoms are stripped from us, as he has promised to do. When? When did Obama threaten to defeat the laws of physics and destroy radio communication. If he can do that, he should be president for life. And with Obama's promise to pass the so-called Freedom of Choice Act as "the first thing" he does, you can say goodbye to the notion of protecting unborn children again – and goodbye to every law in all 50 states that notifies parents, keeps our tax dollars from footing the abortion bill and prevents even a single partial-birth abortion. Yeah, Janet, we'll break into your house and impregnate you against your will just so we can force you to have an abortion. That's how liberals roll!
"They'll say I'm a 'racist' and call it 'sour grapes.'" Yeah, that's pretty much how I see it. Our Founding Fathers faced death dog whistle, we face name-calling. Right now our U.S. soldiers are being shot at for the freedoms guaranteed in our Constitution. Not really. I love our armed forces, but I fail to see how killing people in Iraq is keeping me free here. If the Constitution isn't worth undergoing some name calling, then the oath taken to defend it means nothing. You wusses!
"Somebody else will do it." They haven't. And time is running out. There might be a reason why.
This isn't my responsibility." The lower court in Philadelphia threw out Phil Berg's case (which is now before the U.S. Supreme Court) based not on the merits, but on the issue of "standing," she makes this sound like some silly technicality. Standing is very important. Standing is a merit of a case, because standing is whether or not you are the correct party to file a lawsuit. For example, you stop paying your mortgage, which you have with First Bank. First Bank has standing to file suit against you. Second Bank does not. and pointed to the need for Congress to act. If the questions of constitutionality are not met before Congress is called upon to uphold the vote of the Electoral College, they cannot fulfill their oath and duty to uphold and defend the Constitution. If we are willing to ignore the constitutional requirements for the highest office in our land, what else are we willing to forgo? That part about free speech? Freedom of the press? Freedom of religion? The infamous slippery slope. "If we allow a rape victim to have an abortion, everyone will be forced to abort every baby!"
"We deserve what we got." What? How about, "Obama is our rightfully elected President"?That's true, so did the people of Nineveh random religious story to no apparent purpose who asked, "Who can tell if God will turn and relent, and turn away from His fierce anger, so that we may not perish?" If you're unfamiliar with the story recorded in Jonah, God didn't give the Ninevites what they deserved; and even though the judgment was pronounced against them, when they fasted, prayed, sought God and turned from their wicked ways, God had mercy and spared them from judgment. Then the Ninevites were the only people in the OT who were spared. God was very into genocide and baby killing back then.
"It's impossible." With God, all things are possible. Sure, Janet, I'm gonna flap my arms and fly away. Eight years ago the election was called for Al Gore by the media, and he never took office. If God is the same today as He was yesterday, He can still split the sea, raise the dead, stop the sun and reverse the results of the popular vote if the basic requirements of the Constitution are not met in the candidate. I'm not sure what's more appalling here, her understanding of theology, or her understanding of the democratic process. When Obama takes office, will she admit that God hates her?
Janet, I expect a press release in January about how God hates you, you were wrong and you will never speak or type again.
