Comments on: Alien In More Than One Way (Part II) https://barelyablog.com/alien-in-more-than-one-way-part-ii/ by ilana mercer Wed, 02 Apr 2025 19:29:09 +0000 hourly 1 By: Gringo Malo https://barelyablog.com/alien-in-more-than-one-way-part-ii/comment-page-1/#comment-6651 Tue, 04 Aug 2009 18:31:37 +0000 http://barelyablog.com/?p=12412#comment-6651 According to politico.com, BHO published only one anonymous article in the Harvard Law Review, a favorable review of an Illinois Supreme Court case denying the right of an unborn child to sue its mother. Actually, that would be the right of some shyster to sue the mother as the alleged representative of the unborn child. It doesn’t sound all that unreasonable.

Liberals argue from authority and shout down opponents because they’re incapable of logical reasoning and argument. If they were capable of logical reasoning, then they wouldn’t be liberals. Most of what liberals believe is absurd, but not necessarily everything.

I thought we’d settled that having a U.S. citizen mother made BHO a citizen at birth. Is that equivalent to the “natural born citizen” of Article II? The courts would probably rule that it’s close enough for government work.

If the birthers could prove that Stanley Ann Dunham Obama Soetero Whatever-Else was not BHO’s mother, then they might have an issue. However, actually removing BHO would require a second American revolution, or at least a coup d’etat. My own experience tells me that the set of people who engage in legalistic nitpicking and the set of people who impose their will by force are disjoint.

Since then, the country has attracted those seeking freedom, skilled entrepreneurs, and (sadly) many less tuned into the founding principles. So WHAT are “American values” these days??

Unfortunately, the majority of Americans eagerly belong to one 2 rival groups of corporate-state gangsters. Republicans tend to exclusiveness, plutocracy, hypocrisy, intolerance, anti-intellectualism, torture, paranoia about “commies” and “terrorists” everywhere, and an obsessive desire to spread (somewhat sound) “American” values to the third world at gunpoint. Democrats, more honestly, denounce the “dead (and living) white males” and unabashedly insist on subservience to statism, forced “tolerance”, impoverishment, coercive “altruism” … – and they would have America become part of the third world. I may not be an alien but I sure as hell feel ALIENATED!

I’d point out that Ben Franklin predicted our current morass but Prophet Isaiah nailed it in verse 1:23 –

Your rulers are rebels, companions of thieves;
they all love bribes and chase after gifts.
They do not defend the cause of the fatherless;
the widow’s case does not come before them.

They are trying too hard to evade the question. [From the fact that the questions are being ignored it doesn’t follow that he is not American.] It was decided, rightly so, that the question of his birth could be blasted by the whores of the media and the majority of the American public would let it pass as “unimportant”.

Well, most of them anyway. I feel sorry for those whose warnings went unheeded.

You don’t get it. The train wreck has already happened. The locomotives have already accordianed into a massive pile of smoldering steel.

We’re in the caboose a hundred cars back sipping champagne and having a grand time. Obama has things under control, don’t you worry.

Another after dinner mint to go with your drink? “What’s that shudder?,” you ask? No worries, mate. Have another swig of the bubbly. All is well.

When people in positions of trust want to hide practically every record , document , writings ,etc. up to the point of being elected POTUS., look out your headed for TROUBLE, sounds like snake oil salesman to me.

If I told you give me $10,000 dollars and I will turn it into a $ 1,000,000 dollars for you, would give me the $10,000 if you knew hardly anything about me, would not let you do a background check on me? Would you do it? probably not.

But that is what the American people did with HOPE-A-DOPE, Barry, who just said trust me and I will fix everything.

Until the thinking of the American peeps changes from, “Some one else is going to take care of me,” to, “I am going to grab the bull by the horns and strive to be the best I can be, just give me the freedom and liberty that made this country great and let me succeed or fail based on my own talents or abilities”—I am afraid this country is headed for a big train wreck.
