Things I Learn From the Pumasphere . . .

in Sexist Onslaught, So Called Free Press (SCFP)

Did you know that today, November 25th, is International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women?

A-yup, it sure is. All day.

How come I didn’t know that? Where is wbd? This is a case for S.T.F.U.!

We are still collecting youtubes and links to egregious examples of media bias — post them here.

oh, and take this survey for fun. In comments, let us know what you were in your past life. (h/t to joan of arc)

I just donated less than an hour ago so I get a free ride on first?

Repost:

Murphy- I think this is important to repeat what you said down below…every now and then.
And here is a blog that would be good to add to the roll….. a very strong Hillary site with lots of updated news:
http://hillcrats.com/ (It was Hillary Clinton Forums)

Yes, it is a great site revamped.

—-
So, it means we are free, but also poor. It is really important for all of us to support the bloggers we read and rely on. I’m not shilling for Puma PAC here — I’m talking about other sites, like the ones on the blogroll — riverdaughter, cannonfire, and notyoursweetie jump to mind.– And I’m not talking strictly about money either — there are many ways to support bloggers, reading, linking, and commenting especially.

DancesWithPumas 11.25.08 at 2:35 pm

We need to smuggle uzis to those women, thy could hide them under their bruquas, that way, the first man to raise a hand to any of them could be blown to smithereens.

Murphy: Do not know what the %s mean next to the categories in the survey however…Do you? Do they mean that 80% of the people taking the survey were peasants or are they the % of rankings of various other categories one’s scored in.
If they are the latter, witch is 55%.

goofsmom 11.25.08 at 2:46 pm

Took the survey – It was fun

You Scored as Fortune Teller
You were a fortune teller in a past life and you spent your days traveling from town to town in a gypsy caravan. You reached a great deal of people ranging from peasants to friends of royalty with your visions. You were seldom wrong- and if you were it was only because you were having a bad day. You predicted your own death and even escaped it a couple of times before you finally decided to give in to the natural order and keeled over when you felt it was time.

Here is my score on the survey – makes sense to me:
You Scored as Not human
You were not human- but rather some sort of animal in your past life and though you may have encountered a human at one point or another you were not particularly fond of them. You lived by instinct and had a great sense of survival. You died of natural causes.

23

mimi1020 11.25.08 at 2:56 pm

OH MY!

i scored as a peasant!

LOL

figures!

24

TexasTigress 11.25.08 at 2:56 pm

You Scored as Pioneer.
You were a pioneer in a past life. At one point or another you traveled to the west in search of new opportunities and you made it. You had a log cabin, a large family, and plenty of land to work with. You, like your peers, learned to do everything yourself. You died protecting your children from a large grizzly bear. The bear died with you, and your children lived to carry out full and enriching lives.

Pioneer.

You Scored as a : Pioneer. Pioneer. 95% Witch 90% Pirate 85% Peasant. 80% Outlaw. 80% Not human 80% Slave 75% Royalty 70% New Soul. 65% Fortune Teller 65% Convict. 55% Executioner. 40%

OMG — has anyone checked out the headlines at http://wnd.com/

As you scroll down — all of the stories listed on the top half of the page have to do with the citizenship issue. This story looks promising about supporting congressional hearings to validate Obama’s citizenship status. Scroll down on the story link below and you will see a list of phone numbers we can call to voice our opinion.

http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=81943

Personally — I think it’s time PUMAPac get behind this effort that’s been gaining speed on the blogosphere. WND is trying to help to fight this battle and make the issue known. Today they asked the question about this at the White House press conference. Look at the transcript (the last question asked) and you’ll see that the Press Secretary dodged the question and ended the conference at that point. There’s also a video link on the link below but I’m not able to view it while at work.

http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2008/11/20081124-1.html

The way I see it is that PUMAPAC can continue to complain about women’s right injustices, media injustices, bailout injustices, along with a long laundry list of other injustices — OR — PUMAPAC can get behind the effort to EXPOSE OBAMA AND SEIZE A POSSIBLE OPPORTUNITY TO KEEP HIM FROM SUCCESSFULLY GAINING THE POWER which enables him to continue to perpetuate all the long laundry list of injustices we wish to clean up.

Let’s be proactive about the man who is the source of the injustices, rather than reactive to the injustices after the fact. Does that make sense or is it just me that feels that way?

RE; CHELSEA VICTORIA CLINTON TAKEN OVER HER MOTHER’S SENATE SEAT IN NEW YORK…
ALSO THERE HAS ALREADY BEEN ESTABLISHED A PRESIDENT WHEREIN THE AGE LIMIT WAS OVERTURNED……….

Youngest Senators from 1818 to 1935

#1 John Henry Eaton (TN)
When the Senate convened on November 16, 1818, it set a record that never likely to be broken. Members on that occasion, however, probably did not realize they were making history—AND VIOLATING THE CONSTITUTION—in administering the oath of office to Tennessee’s 28-year-old John Henry Eaton

#2 Armistead Mason (Virginia)
Had someone in 1818 chosen to challenge his seating Eaton could have pointed to the Senate’s 1816 decision to seat Virginia’s 28-year-old Armistead Mason,

#3 Henry Clay
Or the 1806 precedent to admit 29-year-old Henry Clay

#4 Rush Dew Holt Sr.
On June 21, 1935,Rush Dew Holt Sr. followed in the line of Eaton, Mason, and Clay as the Senate’s fourth youngest member. A Democrat, Holt was elected at age 29 in November 1934, but because a Senator is constitutionally required to be at least 30 years old, he could not take his seat in January 1935 and had to wait until after his next birthday, in June 1935.
#5 Joseph Biden
Biden was first elected to the Senate in 1972 and became the fifth-youngest senator in U.S. history. Biden became the youngest since Holt at 29 years old, 1 month and 14 days before his 30th birthday…

#Chelsea Victoria Clinton (born February 27, 1980 )IF SHE were to take over Senator Clinton’s Senate seat, Chelsea will be 29 years old on February 29, 2009 and fits into the mold of the other younger senators listed above.

Besides it can be easily argued that today’s level of the educated politicians compared to the 1818 and even up to 1935 is far superior and thus the age limit should be reduced to 25years old…

Nothing gets me madder than seeing someone smacking a defenseless being. Does that man in the photo think he is “strong” or “good”.

I have stopped parents in groceries stores when they are hitting their kids. Yeah, it is my business to interrupt their violence.


survey results: Witch
You were a witch in a past life and therefore possessed an inherent ability to shape the environment around you. Many people respected and admired you for your abilities but a small few instead found themselves threatened by your presence. You died consumed by flames at the stake in full knowledge that you would live again.

As I was saying, what frightens people so much that they have to beat, burn, stone women, children?

Not that any one is interested, but this is how I scored!

You were a slave in a past life and lived a long and grueling life of servitude before you finally escaped and made your way to freedom. You died barefoot on the road with the wind blowing in your hair (by means of natural disaster or extreme environmental conditions) which was fine by you because you always knew that the day you died, you would die free.

PLEASE REFERENCE MY EARLIER POST #27

I just put in a call to my local congressman Dan Lungren (916)-859-9906 and expressed my concern that the President-Elect does not meet the minimum Constitutional qualifications of being a natural born citizen and I find it outrageous that we are about to hand him the most powerful position in the world. I further explained that I understand there is a concerted effort by the MSM to keep this issue quiet but it is a REAL issue and a REAL concern by millions of people that are aware of the existence of this lack of vetting on the part of our congressional leaders and I want to know if there will be any congressional hearings to hold Barack Obama’s feet to the fire and make him prove that he meets the minimum requirements of our Constitution.

When I finished my rant, the man said, “You are not the only one concerned. I have already received 7 calls from similarly concerned citizens. I am not aware of any plans for a congressional hearing but I believe that is because we are waiting to hear the rulings of the Supreme Court Judges.” At that statement, I interrupted with, “Then you obviously are also aware of the lawsuits pending on this issue since you mentioned the pending decision by Supreme Court Justices. So this is not an imaginary issue — and you are aware it is a very real issue.”

The man replied, “Absolutely. And it is my guess that if the Judges resolve this issue then there will be no need for congressional hearings. But if they rule in a manner that does not resolve the issue satisfactorily, then it would be at that point that congressional hearings may become a possibility.”

I then asked, “I feel the only satisfactory ruling is to protect the constitution — but if the Judges do not rule in this direction — as a concerned citizen — what can I do to help ensure that a congressional hearing is initiated?”

The man then referred me to this website for a list of the Judiciary Committee members (link below) — and said that we should start contacting these members to voice our wishes for a congressional hearing.

http://judiciary.house.gov/about/members.html

I thanked the man for being very helpful. And hopefully this conversation is equally helpful to others who are interested in taking an active role in this issue.

I thoroughly agree with you. The camaraderie, recipes, polls, women’s rights, etc. on here are terrific, but the most important issue that is really confronting this country at this point is the issue of the citizenship of the “future” potus. This is what Pumas should be talking about, prowling about and fighting for at this time. One might consider this more important than what we were fighting for during the election. If obama is not eligible to be potus, and he resides in that oval office despite the efforts of our forefathers when they penned our constitution, I fear that all the injustices that we consider to be of the utmost importance will be just moot points. mze, you are quite correct. This is the time for Pumas to be proactive on THIS topic.

I am now blogging as joan of arc around town now (humbly with lower case letters).

Also, just wanted to share that I hosted a meeting for a group of SF Bay area pumas at my house last saturday. We met for over 6 hours. It was really incredible and I encourage others to find those in their own neighborhoods to begin working with. We found each other in the land of obo. Incredible I say. So if you think you are alone where you live… you are not!

We created a new blog that you can find here:

And if there are more SF pumas out there please join our group. We will be meeting again very soon.

catsden 11.25.08 at 3:47 pm

from my blog today:

I like to have a look at foreign press coverage of the U.S. Here’s why. This analysis of Obama’s “soft power” contains the names of several analysts from the Unites States, but I didn’t discover this issue in the American press when I was surfing last night. The American media is still enamoured of Obama and isn’t likely to start analyzing his “sparkle” yet, unless it has something to do with the Clintons and the Clinton appointees. It isn’t even necessary that you agree with these differing points of view; it is just that, as citizens of this country, we ought to be reading/hearing these discussions as they happen. The media has taken control of what we know and I, for one, find that disheartening.

As the internet has become more than a “social network,” blog and news sites have begun to fill the vacuum left by the traditional media. Make it a point to spend some time each day surfing these non-traditional sites and see if it doesn’t open your eyes a bit to what has happened here while we grew complacent. Keep an eye on foreign media as well, because they have a different perspective. Just don’t believe everything you read. Become an active reader, check sources, and then take action.

Insight Analytical: if you are still here, if you allow Open ID on Wordpress, your name will be a link to any other wordpress site. Your link will be in blue, as is mine.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/7747621.stm

At least 15 schoolgirls and female teachers had acid sprayed at them by two men on a motorcycle near the Mirwais Nika Girls High School in Kandahar.

Officials say the attackers used a toy gun to spray the acid and fled as soon as people came to the assistance of the girls.

Most of the victims suffered severe burns and at least one of them will have to have her face and neck reconstructed by plastic surgery.

Some of the girls were wearing Islamic burkas or veils which provided them with some protection.

The attack shocked ordinary Afghans.

Correspondents say it is likely to have been carried out by those opposed to the education of women.

I can understand why BO would support the Arab ME Peace Plan, but not why Bush is leaning that way. It’s not a peace plan at all, but a covert plan for the annihilation of Israel.
We might as well sell out all our allies, if that’s what America is now all about.
I agree with Dances~~~the best way to stop violence against women is with a Uzi.
Because I looked like a girl in boys clothes growing up I was beat up 3 or 4 times a week all the time I was growing up. And I’ve been violently assaulted more than a few times as a grown up.
The only thing that’s ever, I mean EVER made it stop is when I stood up and said, “If you lay hands on me one more time I will kill you.” Something about that seems to get their attention every time.

From Team Sarah site:
“Supreme court ruling on Obama’s eligibility for presidency”

Supreme Court Of The United States (SCOTUS) Justice David Souter has agreed that a review of the federal lawsuit filed by attorney Phil Berg against Barack Hussein Obama II, et al., which was subsequently dismissed for lack of standing is warranted. SCOTUS Docket No. 08-570 contains the details. A review of that docket and the Rule 10 of the Supreme Court makes abundantly clear that Justice Souter’s granting of a review on the Writ of Certiorari is not a right entitled to citizen Phil Berg, but rather is a matter of judicial discretion based upon a compelling reason. That compelling reason is the Constitutional requirement that “No person except a natural born citizen … shall be eligible to the office of President…”
What this means is that on or before 1 DECEMBER 2008 Barack Hussein Obama II must respond to the writ of certiorari, and since the Berg v Obama case hinged primarily on the question of Obama’s place of birth, it is almost inconceivable that Barack Obama will thumb his nose at the Justices of the Supreme Court and he is absolutely compelled to provide a vault copy his original birth certificate.
Another very salient fact to consider at this time is that, despite all of the pronouncements of the print and broadcast media, Barack Obama is not yet the President-elect of the United States. Barack Obama can only become the President-elect after the Electoral College convenes on 15 DECEMBER 2008 in their respective state capitals around the nation and casts their votes to elect the President and the Vice President. As you can see this election day occurs two weeks after the required response to the Supreme Court granted Writ of Certiorari.
The bottom line is this: the presidential election of 2008 remains an ongoing process, the outcome of which remains undetermined, and all talk about a potential Constitutional crisis in the United States are at least 36 days premature.

The inevitable constitutional crisis regarding President-elect Obama, of course, revolves around his inability (or unwillingness) to produce an authentic Hawaiian birth certificate with the raised certificate stamp that the Federal Elections Commission can independently verify.

Here are some of the unanswered issues hanging over the head of President-elect Barack Obama and the question of his American citizenship:

· The allegation that Obama was born in Kenya to parents unable to automatically grant him American citizenship;
· The allegation that Obama was made a citizen of Indonesia as a child and that he retained foreign citizenship into adulthood without recording an oath of allegiance to regain any theoretical American citizenship;
· The allegation that Obama’s birth certificate was a forgery and that he may not be an eligible, natural-born citizen;
· The allegation that Obama was not born an American citizen; lost any hypothetical American citizenship he had as a child; that Obama may not now be an American citizen and even if he is, may hold dual citizenships with other countries. If any, much less all, of these allegations are true, the suit claims, Obama cannot constitutionally serve as president.

· The allegations that “Obama’s grandmother on his father’s side, half brother and half sister claim Obama was born in Kenya,” the suit states.” Reports reflect Obama’s mother went to Kenya during her pregnancy; however, she was prevented from boarding a flight from Kenya to Hawaii at her late stage of pregnancy, which apparently was a normal restriction to avoid births during a flight. Stanley Ann Dunham (Obama) gave birth to Obama in Kenya, after which she flew to Hawaii and registered Obama’s birth.”
· The claim could not be verified by inquiries to Hawaiian hospitals, since state law bars the hospitals from releasing medical records to the public; Even if Obama produced authenticated proof of his birth in Hawaii, however, the suit claims that the U.S. Nationality Act of 1940 provided that minors lose their American citizenship when their parents expatriate. Since Obama’s mother married an Indonesian citizen and moved to Indonesia, the suit claims, she forfeited both her and Barack’s American citizenship.

Thanks for your supportive response. The man at the local congress office said he received 7 calls before mine. Let’s start making those numbers of calls increase. There needs to be a lot of noise on this. We need to make it get to the point that the media can no longer ignore it. I’m so proud of wnd for showing courage to ask the question at the white house press conference (even if the question did get dodged). If enough of us call our congressman… maybe the question won’t get dodged the next time.

We complain that the video at howobamagotelected.com is proof that the MSM kept the public ignorant of what they were voting for. Let’s not be complacent in allowing them to black out the information on Obama’s citizenship issue. Let’s scream loud and often on this issue until the media can’t ignore us and the other half of the public starts to hear about it. This is the issue of extreme importance in my mind. It’s the only REAL hope we have of preventing disaster.

I’m seeing reports that Leo Donofrio’s life is in danger and he’s in hiding but I don’t know if that’s an internet rumor or if it’s a legitimate story. Either way — the only way we are all safe is if Obama fails at getting power.

Apparently, I was a slave in at least one of my past lives. That would explain a lot about my defiant attitude all my life and my immediately hostile reaction to anyone trying to control me. Also explains my nearly fanatical belief in freedom for every living thing, not just humans. Many years ago, I once dreamed that I was a young, red-headed woman who had been kidnapped and sold as a slave to some mid eastern culture. I eventually escaped to the surrounding dessert and led a rebellion of other escaped slaves against the people who had held me against my will. I think we failed and were killed. Weird dream, huh?

I don’t think that a middle east plan has to sell out Israel; I think many Palestinians would love to be able to live in peace, have a job, work their land, send their children to school, and not fear that their homes and lands seized or destroyed. If you equate every person “other” than you with evil, you will yourself become what you despise. I believe the plan clearly states that protection of Israel is crucial, and that training Palistinians to stop terrorists groups is also crucial. It isn’t like we’d say here, it’s done, we are going away now.
Otherwise, the circle of hate is endless and so is the dance of death.

It gave instructions in there on the ONLY way to get him exposed… are we doing anything as a group about that, or are we just emailing the supremes or signing petitions??? I can’t help but think back to before the election, when everything was so well planned and coordinated – and things got accomplished big-time.

CNSNews.com) – Four major banks, including one that collapsed, two that received federal bailout money and one that filed for bankruptcy this past September, paid former President Clinton $2.1 million for 13 speeches he delivered on their behalf between 2004-2007, according to Senate financial disclosure statements filed by Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.).

Citigroup paid Bill Clinton $700,000; Goldman Sachs paid $950,000; Lehman Brothers paid $300,000 and Merrill Lynch paid $175,000 to the former president for speeches during that time period. Sen. Clinton’s 2008 financial disclosure reports are not yet available.

Though some of the investment banks were able to entertain the former president more than once, each was eventually affected by the credit crunch.

Lehman Brothers filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in September. The bank’s stock had been slipping as it looked for a buyer, while the federal government promised no aid.

Merrill Lynch was purchased by Bank of America in mid-September for $50 billion. The bank’s share price and liquidity had been falling as it looked to sell, just days before the federal bailout of Wall Street.

The highly-regarded investment firm Goldman Sachs had reportedly possessed some of the largest private equity and hedge funds in the market.

But after its largest trading partner, AIG, received an $85 billion emergency government loan, Goldman Sachs shares fell. One week after Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy and Bank of America purchased Merrill Lynch, Goldman Sachs asked the Federal Reserve to modify its status to that of bank holding company – a move that brought tough regulations and close government supervision. In addition, Goldman Sachs became a recipient of $10 billion of the federal bailout money.

Citigroup recently received $25 billion of the federal bailout and is now expected to receive a $20 billion cash injection from the Treasury Department. In addition, the Treasury and the FDIC have promised to back most of the losses the bank might suffer, from its $306 billion pool of risky loans and mortgages. The bank’s shares dropped 60 percent last week.

Connections between the Carlyle Group and the Bush family have created controversy, particularly in relation to the War on Terror and the Iraq War. George H. W. Bush and his Secretary of State James A. Baker III have at times been advisors to the group. One writer claimed that Saudi Arabian interests have given $1.4 billion to firms connected to the Bush family. Of this figure, $1.18 billion comes from contracts awarded to defense contractor Braddock, Dunn & McDonald, which Carlyle sold before George H. W. Bush became an advisor. A Carlyle spokesman noted in 2003 that its 7% interest in defense industries was far less than several other Private equity firms. The group has in the past had links with the Bin Laden family, although the group argues investment was relatively minor and made by relatives including a half brother to Osama Bin Laden who had “disowned” him.[24]
In February 2008, a U.S. Senate bill was introduced that would increase the regulation of nursing homes such as those run by HCR Manor Care which Carlyle purchased in December 2007.[25] Furthermore in February 2008, a bill was introduced in California that would have barred CalPERS from investing money “with private-equity firms that are partly owned by countries with poor records on human rights,” which would include Carlyle because Mubadala Development is owned by part of the United Arab Emirates. The California bill was later withdrawn.[26]
In the documentary film Fahrenheit 911 Michael Moore makes nine allegations concerning the Carlyle Group, including: That the Bin Laden and Bush families were both connected to the Group but following the attacks on September 11, the bin Laden family’s investments in the Carlyle Group became an embarrassment to the Carlyle Group and the family was forced to liquidate their assets with the firm; That the Carlyle group is, in essence, the 11th largest defense contractor in the United States. Moore lists and provides evidence for the allegations on his website.

I have something on my mind in keeping with the 30% solution and the recent appointment of Kaufman to take over Biden’s seat.

It’s regarding a replacement for Kaufman at his current post at the Broadcasting Board of Governors. I believe this avenue should now be considered a political conduit.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadcasting_Board_of_Governors

http://www.bbg.gov/

http://www.bbg.gov/about/jobs/index.html

There might be inadequate budget issues that are creating these vacancies. It’s hard to imagine Bush didn’t keep this up.

In any event, it seems a worthwhile effort to assure the Government mouth organ hires more women and has gender neutral or gender positive voices. Plus, this is one field where we have a pretty large qualified pool. Except, I don’t know anyone in that field; does anyone else?

Yesterday I found a page on their site indicating a Board vacancy in addition to the one that Kaufman will create. Today I can’t find it, however, I see no more board members listed.

Anyway,I thought I would toss it out there.

Great work on Obama’s natural born citizen lie. I am trying to be optimistic on this, but this guy seems to get away with just about everything. I’m afraid the the SCOTUS and then Congress are going to be afraid of “rocking the boat” by investigating and demanding that he show proof that he is a natural born citizen. They will be afraid of “riots” and protests even if they will be following the law of the land in ordering this request.

NewOrleansPuma 11.25.08 at 5:36 pm

Obama’s move. i.e, running for President, etc knowing he has no live birth certificate proving he was born in the Us. ..or that his mother fulfilled requirements for same on his behalf after birth somewhere is a perfect example of one of Alinsky’s rules and tactics: One does not step over a line…
One ignores the line, walks way beyond it, takes a position and dares anyone to get him back behind the boundry line that he usurped. It is classic, truly. And it assumes that territory taken away is harder to get back..and especially so
if few people care or even caring may not have the wherewithall (i.e. no positive law on the federal books to REQUIRE proof of citizenship as mandated in general tenet in Constitution.) It is a brillant, sleeze, amoral, no good sob move from his empty no good Fraud of a lieing being…but who ever said acts of evil and those who perpetrate them need be stupid? Nay, rather, quite the opposite is true…What a degredation of the gift of thought and logic from the Creator.

Dear Mrs.XXXXXX

Thank you for expressing your opposition to mandatory national service programs.

I am a strong supporter of national service programs, such as the AmeriCorps program, which engages young people in meeting educational, public safety, human, and environmental needs by providing services that directly benefit communities.

National service programs provide valuable benefits to both the individuals participating and the communities served. While I agree that these programs should remain voluntary, I support efforts to provide incentives, such as student loan forgiveness and educational assistance, in exchange for national service.

Should the Senate consider legislation on this issue, I will certainly keep your views in mind. Thank you again for contacting me.

It pisses me off as well. He’s really pushed it for a long time, and I KNOW, like I KNOW, like I KNOW—he *will* cross the line as president–over and over again. Audacity? how about megalomaniac criminal mind. His little fascist proclivities are right in the open and a part of his make-up as a politician. It surely blows.

Afghan teacher wants acid thrown on her attackers

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081125/ap_on_re_as/as_afghanistan

KANDAHAR, Afghanistan — A 23-year-old teacher burned in an acid attack on 15 schoolgirls and instructors wants the Afghan government to throw acid on her attackers and then hang them. Kandahar’s governor said Tuesday that authorities had arrested 10 alleged Taliban militants for the Nov. 12 attack in this southern city and that several confessed to taking part.

Gov. Rahmatullah Raufi said the men would be tried in open court, a pledge that pleased Nuskaal, a first-year math teacher who suffered acid burns on her shoulders.

“Those girls were simply going to school to get an education,” said Nuskaal, who like many Afghans goes by one name. “My parents told me that security isn’t good enough and that they were worried about me teaching. But I told my parents I won’t stop teaching. I’m not afraid.”

After the attack, President Hamid Karzai called for the perpetrators to be executed in public. Nuskaal said the attackers should have acid thrown on them first.

Thanks for the post from TeamSarah… I just researched… very cool.. so we have two lawsuits that are looking at the “natural born citizen” issue in front of the SCOTUS.

At this point there are approx 17 lawsuits and counting in 12+ states with more comming.

The congressional office personnel that I spoke with didn’t seem to indicate that the rulings of the Supreme Court were insignificant. In fact, the reaction I received from my call to the congress office confirmed that this is a topic that is gaining steam — rather than being dismissed as a “rumor.” Which is why I suspect your WSJ link was commissioned to suddenly come out of the woodwork to print an article to label all the concerns as “not important.” Since when does a respected newspaper take the time to print an article to dismiss an issue? If anything — they keep operating on the premise that if they “don’t discuss it” the topic will go away… and that’s how they control us. But this article might be a sign that they are losing that control.

As stated in my previous post — WND had the courage to bring the topic up at the white house conference. The reaction was to dodge the question rather than to say, “That’s a rumor.” Let me also ask these questions posted on wnd:

It’s Rathergate all over again with more amiss than a 1970s Selectric typewriter. But before I tell you what the experts found, let me ask you a few questions:

1. If you were a natural born American citizen and had it within your means to quiet all the lawsuits and questions with proof, would you do it?

2. If you were a natural born American citizen, would you spend thousands of dollars to fight the legal cases against you, or would you simply answer the legitimate question of whether you meet the constitutional requirements for office?

3. If you were a natural born American citizen, would you forge a document called a “Certification of Live Birth” and tell the public it was a real “birth certificate”?

Also — thank you to #118 NewOrleansPuma and #122 Ex-DemInVA. Like you — I too share concern that the Supreme Court will rule the wrong way… but it’s up to us to provide pressure to let our representatives know we won’t sit silently for their teflon-proofing efforts of Obama. We can do this guys… that’s why it’s a story that’s becoming a threat.

Keep it general and the Justices can not connect the activity to one lawsuit.

What do you think??

After the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, our whole entire nation rose up to fight back.
Now we are being ’sneak attacked’ again and the country actually seems to be enjoying it, not ever realizing Obama is the vanguard of an Islamic invasion of our country. Someone, earlier, was defending the Arab ME Peace Plan as a good thing. I’m, like, ok, then why do we protest against illegals coming across our southern borders?
I’m beginning to think most Americans will just bend over and take it, without even Vaseline, but with a huge smile on their face! ~~~Gag a Maggot!!!!

This
poem was written by a terminally ill young girl in a
New York
Hospital

It was sent
by

a medical doctor – Make sure to read what is in the closing statement
AFTER THE POEM.

SLOW DANCE

Have you ever
watched kids

On a merry-go-round?

Or listened to
the rain

Slapping on the ground?

Ever followed a
butterfly’s erratic flight?

Or gazed at the sun into the fading
night?

You better slow down.

Don’t dance so
fast.

Time is short.

The music won’t
last.

Do you run through each day

On the fly?

When you ask How are you?

Do you hear the reply?

When the day is done

Do you lie in your
bed

With t he next hundred chores

Running through
your head?

You’d better slow down

Don’t dance so
fast.

Time is short.

The music won’t
last.

Ever told your child,

We’ll do it
tomorrow?

And in your haste,

Not see
his

sorrow?

Ever lost touch,

Let a good
friendship die

Cause you never had time

To call
and say,’Hi’

You’d better slow down.

Don’t dance
so fast.

Time is short.

The music won’t
last.

When you run so fast to get somewhere

You
miss half the fun of getting there.

When you worry and hurry
through your day,

It is like an unopened
gift….

Thrown away.

Life is not a
race.

Do take it slower

Hear the
music

Before the song is over.

Repost from downstairs:
————————–

http://www.americasright.com/2008/11/deputy-white-house-press-secretary.html

Excerpt:
“In a press briefing this morning, Deputy White House Press Secretary Tony Fratto ended the briefing by overtly avoiding a question regarding President-elect Barack Obama’s birth certificate and demands made by the CEO of WorldNetDaily that a long-form document be released.”

The issue of citizenship is trying to catch fire, Pumas. Maybe we should help it along.

And perhaps Pumas could help out with this initiative outlined at:

http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=81943

Excerpt:

“If Obama gets into office without verification that he has met the requirements of the U.S. Constitution, if you care about life, liberty or the family, you’re going to have to make hundreds of calls to try and fight an agenda that seeks to silence you.

There is a way to help prevent this. Our founders sacrificed their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor. I’m asking you to do three things.

Fast and pray for all the hidden things to come to light.

Call the Republican members of the House Judiciary Committee – in their district offices while they’re home this week for Thanksgiving. Ask them to “Please hold congressional hearings to investigate whether Barack Obama meets the basic constitutional requirements for the highest office of the land.”

Write a letter to the nine Justices of the United States Supreme Court (names are listed below) and put them in a FedEx (or other overnight) envelope to:
U.S. Supreme Court
1 First Street, N.E
Washington, D.C. 20543

Our Constitution matters and defending it is going to take an outcry from the public. The electors vote on Dec. 15. The numbers are below and your immediate action is critically needed right now. Do it before defending our liberties costs a lot more than making some phone calls and writing a few letters.

The Republican House Judiciary members: Call them at 202-225-3121, AND most importantly reach them in their district offices:

Lamar Smith (Texas), ranking member, critical in any hearings: 512-306-0439 Austin, 830-896-0154 Kerrville, and 210-821-5024 San Antonio.

I would agree with that idea. I also think the letters should be extremely respectful and short. As indicated last night — I plan to make a simple plea that it’s just extremely important that they ensure the preservation of our Constitution and rule with this oath to the Constitution in mind. I don’t plan to make any arguments on the proof or lack of proof of Obama’s citizenship (since I’m sure that is covered adequately in the documentation). Would you agree with that approach when writing the Justices?

Awesome. I only scored as an Animal because I Love doggies. I call them doggie woggies. I love cats also but I am more into doggies this year. Cats will be next again.

But really being a Witch’s Bitch and burning at the stake is so awesome exciting. Having everyone stand around and cheer you on. I always admired Joan of Arc. I wanted to be burned at the stake like her. Sounds cool.

I was once told I was a monk in an earlier lifetime and messed up on love. I thought the love came from the object. So I was into beautiful pictures and crosses. But in my present lifetime I made a break through. I realize now that the love comes from inside of me. That I am the awesome one because I have the power to experience Love.

RE: Article II, Section I of the U.S. Constitution
Thank you for your attention to this concern by the people of the United States of America,
We the people:
Our constitution states plainly the requirements for Office of the President of the United States of America.
They are few, but all are very important..
President-Elect Obama has not presented his original vault copy of his birth certificate.
It is our right as citizens of this great land to know if he has met the requirements stated in our constitution.
When the few qualifications stated by our Constitution have not been met. I am truly concerned about this for the prosperity and legitimacy of our Country.
Our Founding Fathers sacrificed much, as many have that followed them , that document is now being challenged in an unprecedented way.
I just want to assure all of you that I as well as many other citizens are concerned about this, as they should be.
The Constitution is the Supreme Law of the Land . If the Courts will not enforce it and the Congress will not enforce it and the Executive will not enforce it,
Why do we swear to protect the Constitution ?
Thank you,

It’s just that the plan calls for opening the Gaza Strip, West Bank, etc (all lands taken during the war in 1967) to allow ‘re-entry of refugees’. There is no provision for control, no way to stop a mass influx into areas Israel now controls and uses for self-protection.
Maybe you are an Arab. You haven’t said, so I don’t know. But don’t attack me again for something you assumed but that I never said. That’s BS. And don’t accuse me of tantrums when you’re throwing a tizzy fit yourself!!!!!

Received this interesting e-mail from Senator Specter from PA regarding ACORN…
Dear XXXX:

Thank you for contacting my office regarding alleged voter registration fraud. I appreciate hearing from you and other Pennsylvanians on this and other important matters.

I was troubled by the various and persistent reports of alleged voter registration fraud. As a result, on October 20, 2008, I requested a Judiciary Committee hearing to examine the widespread allegations of voter registration fraud involving the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN). ACORN is currently under investigation by state and federal authorities for voter registration fraud in at least fourteen states, including California, Connecticut, Florida, Indiana, Michigan, Missouri, New Mexico, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Wisconsin, and Texas. The proposed hearing would examine what actions Congress should take to protect the integrity of the electoral system in the upcoming election and beyond. Such a hearing is needed to assure the American people that their voting rights are being protected and their votes will not be diluted by fraudulent voters.

In his initial reply, Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy said he would take the matter under advisement. Understanding the importance of this matter, I again engaged Chairman Leahy in a letter on October 24, 2008 to stress the importance of a congressional inquiry into this issue. The letter emphasized the need to keep such an inquiry free of partisan politics and focused on having a neutral and public airing of the facts and an honest discussion of the law.

Some have sought to create a false choice between defending the integrity of the voter registration process and ensuring ballot access for those entitled to vote. Both are important. The right to vote is fundamental to our democracy, and it should be vigorously protected at every stage of the process. It is my hope that lawmakers will work together to resolve these issues in order to preserve and protect the vote of each and every American.

Thank you again for contacting me. The concerns of my constituents are of great importance to me, and I rely on you and other Pennsylvanians to inform me of your views. Should you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact my office or visit my website at http://specter.senate.gov.

Sincerely,

Arlen Specter

Excellent letters and posts… One thing I would change or add, we want to make sure he is a natural born citizen. This does not involve only the birth certificate, it also involves whether or not he retained his citizenship status in Indonesea (sp?) So it might be better to state that we want them to confirm he is a natural born citizen as opposed to just asking for the BC.

We hope that Leo Donofrio has FBI protection at this point, we do not know absolutely for sure that he does.

You were a pioneer in a past life. At one point or another you traveled to the west in search of new opportunities and you made it. You had a log cabin, a large family, and plenty of land to work with. You, like your peers, learned to do everything yourself. You died protecting your children from a large grizzly bear. The bear died with you, and your children lived to carry out full and enriching lives.

Nothing gets me madder than seeing someone smacking a defenseless being. Does that man in the photo think he is “strong” or “good”.

#157GoPumaGo: Hey, go puma go, ..but remember this about Joan of Arc: while Joan was burned at the stake for having been judged a witch by a corrupt ecclesiastical court of Bishops Joan of Arc was not a witch! The actual transcripts of Joan’s trial have been published in more than one place. You might find them interesting to read. All questions asked to her, she answered with answerss totally within the Church doctrinal and eccelisastical standards of the time and now!
While I know the true Witches would like to claim her and some have, they cannot. I once corrected a real Witch at a Party ….I attended one night…who was making a claim on Joan!..The witch? She just kinda shut up. and dropped the subject…Having known me for a while, I guess you might guess why! I also have always loved Joan for her faith and her courage. Oh and Joan was a Capricorn..born January 6.

Madaz;
:oops: was thinking of the previous post’s pic. This one is clearly one of the Islamic morality cops, whaling on a woman, for some minor variance in her hajib, no doubt. Or maybe too much Kohl eyeliner.

I was the same (how many grizzly-killed pioneers were there, anyhow?) But in your case, it was probably the reverse. ;)

After Oblather is dumped, there needs to be a blizzard of RICO cases targeting everyone from ACORN to a dozen or two SoSes. And whoever made the decision not to provide federal officer protection to polling sites. And, and, …

thanks Taggles. I have an entire paragraph from the internet written with no vowels that is totally understandable just to prove how unnecessary “correct” spelling is for communicating. But as a former college English teacher, I can’t help but be aware of my missteps.//
=====
The brain is a wondrous organ; my Evelyn Wood speed reading course started out with a demo: flipped flash cards gave sentences very rapidly, and were easily understood. Then it was shown around that the last few had been in jumbled order, and the brain put the words in sequence without anyone noticing.

BUT! good spelling has this advantage: it makes the reader do less work comprehending and recognizing. There is a strain having to do a filter-and-sort of possible intended words. As much work as possible should be done up front by the writer. Anything else seems to me like laziness and selfishness, in a way. JMHO.

Hey! beats being a Chirac of Corruption 8O ; for sheer sleaze and financial fast ones, French politicians are hard to equal, much less surpass! :P Llol: As for the Oirish, there once was a famous one who occasionally told the truth, but no one can remember who it was any more … :roll:

BrainH: The WASP American Politician has more buried bones than the three cemetaries that sit at the foot of Canal St. and the rest of their buried treasures are hidden in the hope chests given them by their made up ancestors of the Pilgrim Progress crew…Please….
