Oh, BTW, Miep Gies died yesterday. I had no idea she was still alive. She is the brave soul who brought food to Otto Frank and his family during the Holocaust when they were hiding in the attic. After the families were discovered and captured, Miep went back to the attic and retrieved the scattered pages of Anne’s diary so that the world would know. Miep Gies would’ve been 101 on the 15th of next month.

Wow! I just came back from voting in a small local election in Fairfax, VA. There was a huge line and lots of tea party types who were determined to vote for a Republican. They wanted change. This district stupidly voted for Obama last year. I hope this is a great sign of things to come!
Thanks for the update, tina!

Thank you Scott for the reminder to all the people and ALL the politicians.

Bloody right, Michelle! Just because Ted ‘pour me a drink’ Kennedy sat his hiney in it for 47 years, doesn’t make it his, or the Dems.

SueK // January 12, 2010 at 12:27 pm
Hahaha! That was a good one!
😀
I deliberately watched Glenn Beck last night. I came away in agreement with everything that he addressed. I beleive that America has been slowly “dumbed”down by our educators (KNOWN LIBERALS) so that they can pass their present agenda without anyone figuring out what they are up to. Well they made some serious miscalculations. They forgot that there are a few who DO know up from down, and these few have very successfully come out to reeducate our young people who are now beginning to see the error of their ways. I pray each day that the midterm election, as well as 2012 will permanently put an end to the LIBERAL LUNACY that has prevailed in our government for a long time. Hopefully the NEW blood will resurrect the Constitution, and follow it for all time to come. The present administration has tried to usurp the power of the Constitution, and everyday there is a new attack on it, by those who are hell bent on delivering the US into the hands of foreign, and domestic power to be used like Nazi Germany used their population. Brown is the beginning of sensible change. He isn’t GOD, so we are left with putting enough people in government service who are well educated in the history of our country, and will see to it that we remain a free country. If we cannot do this then at some point we are doomed.
While the sun certainly does NOT set on Glenn Beck’s forehead,I beleive that OVERALL he has done a fine job of exposing that which he is ALLOWED to expose. Sadly he is forbidden by CONTRACT to discuss anything that could become an instant shut down of FOX NEWS. It is probably better that he goes on as he is. I think that this by itself will bring enough people to their senses and they will realise that we need change but not the sort of change that Soetoro, Pelosi, Reid, Schumer, Durbin, Leahy, and Murtha are trying to bring about. In the interim we must not allow the BC issue to lose momentum. It must be kept in their faces.

Re Palin not commenting on the Mass. race: Scott Brown doesn’t need anyone in politics to say anything.
HE HAS US!!!!
The people of America are all he needs and all we need. This is just great stuff. I loved the line “it’s the people’s seat.” Classic. Congratulations American citizens, you are saving your country. Yahhhh!

I think Scott’s off the cuff remark “It’s the People’s Seat” will go viral and you will see all of us Tea Party people using it. Good shot Scott.
re: Garden Club Ladies-we have one not far from my house elderly/retired ladies. They have plant/garage/rummage sales, we just love them. Not only are their plants great (from cuttings) but those ladies are extremely knowledgeable and they share a wealth of information-with real life trial and error. We all love to patronize them.
I’m sorry you are correct, I didn’t think anyone could be as mentally out to lunch as Martha-knowing that you are going to run for office in the near future and you go aggravate nice ladies who make your town look wonderful FOR FREE
while saying there are no terrorists in Afghanistan. Martha they are here/there/everywhere-no one knows where the really are at any given time, until they screw up and ignite their little selves and the passenger saves the day and a lot of lives while he was at it.
Sue go back and read the Drudge report re: CBS going off the deep end and reporting the news. re: Obama’s falling numbers. Their ace reporters are reporting on stuff we have known since June 30 (better late then never).
But what will really tick you off is the article re: Party on Pelosi and her entourage of everybody in DC go to Copenhagen on the taxpayers dime for their Thank God failed attempt at Climagate/Change.
I guess Mother Nature Pelosi thinks that she can control that too, when she is not having her think she is god issues. She’s as crazy as Martha.

Navy Seals trial moved to Iraq
January 12th, 2010
American Thinker
by Jane Jamison
The Newport News DailyPress.com reports:
Two of the three Navy elite commando SEALS who are facing military court martial for their arrest of an Islamic terrorist are going to have trials in Iraq so that they can exercise their right to confront their accuser face-to-face.
Special Warfare Operater 2nd Class Jonathan Keefe, Special Warfare Operator 1st Class Julio Huertas and Special Warfare Operator 2nd Class Matthew McCabe are accused of mistreating Ahmed Hashim Abed after arresting him and denying wrongdoing in later statements to commanders.
Abed is the accused Islamo-terrorist mastermind of the ambush, torture, murder, burning and hanging of 4 Blackwater contract personnel who were making a food delivery in Fallujah, Iraq in 2004. The American men, most of them former U.S. military, were dragged behind vehicles, burned and hung from a Euphrates river bridge while town crowds cheered.
U.S. Military commanders, (who apparently suffer from the same “politically-correct” illness as the President of the United States) allege that SWO2 McCabe may have punched Abed after his arrest. The alleged “crime” of the other two SEALS is, apparently, that they didn’t rat out their fellow soldier. Abed may have also suffered a cut lip in the incident. Background on this story is here and here.
In the past few weeks, military prosecutors have sought to delay the trials of the SEALS and also tried to simply try the SEALS on the basis of a taped deposition of Abed. Attorneys for the SEALS demanded the right to confront and question their Muslim terrorist accuser in person at trial. The fact that the SEALS have to be flown to Iraq to protect their rights, their careers, their names and the SEALS’ reputation is a shameful waste of time, expense and effort. The Christmas Day bombing attempt on an American jetliner shows the U.S. government has much more important business than prosecuting soldiers who were doing exemplary work tracking down a Muslim terrorist murder suspect.
The clock keeps ticking, the Obama administration has had plenty of time and still has more time to drop these charges and make this all go away. American soldiers being treated like terrorists. Terrorists being treated like soldiers. The silence from this White House on this matter is shameful.

Warning Andrea has a very graphic picture of
“Last September, Navy SEALs captured Ahmed Hashim Abed, a most-wanted al Qaeda leader, during a nighttime raid. Abed is the suspected mastermind of a 2004 ambush that killed four Blackwater security contractors – including a former SEAL – in Fallujah, Iraq. The contractors were burned, mutilated, and suspended from a bridge.”

Mitch McConnel is a useless moron.
He refuses to call for Harry Reid to step down.
I wonder if Harry Reid would show Mitch the same courtesy.

Sometimes, the GOP makes me sick to my stomach, bunch of sissies…

In some strange, twisted way, Hairy Weed can only HELP US by staying. imo.
I simply cannot wrap my brain around this whole strategy of Barry’s with his over -seas contingency crap, trials for terrorists in civilian courts, etc.
None of it computes.
J.B…..
I may be wrong, but I believe that if these terrorists were to get the death penalty in a military tribunal….which they would…..the CoC would have to sign that death warrant.
If that is true, Obama would be killing a Muslim….which he WONT DO
I don’t know, j.b..
Harry Reid has blood all over his face, and instead of going in for the kill shot, McConnel offers him a wet napkin to clean his face.

I keep asking myself what it would have been like to be raised Obama. My parents raised me conservative….I remember my dad yelling at the television news at night in the 60’s and 70’s calling it slanted even then….lol
After a short liberal phase in college….I returned to those roots. My point is that Obama was raised a citizen of the world…hating this country…..blaming this country…..and with tons of communist role models.
I don’t think he EVER had a conservative phase. He has NEVER been exposed to that alternative viewpoint.
Most of us are loyal to our childhood. We attend the same church, raise our kids in similar ways.
Obama is a product of such an extreme environment growing up and what we are witnessing are the fruits of his loyalty to it……vile and rotten as they are.

Expert: CIA missed glaring red flags on [Usurper in Chief] double-agent bomber
http://www.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/meast/01/12/cia.bombing/index.html
Amman, Jordan (CNN) — In the murky world of spying, where choices are generally among shades of gray, success, by definition, goes unnoticed.
Failure, however, is catastrophic.
So how did [Barack Hussein Obama] a Jordanian doctor play [Commander in Chief] double agent, outsmart [We the people] his CIA handlers, and end up killing [the Constitution of the United States of America] seven Americans and a Jordanian military officer at a remote base in Afghanistan?
“This is the biggest deception ever of intelligence agencies, whether CIA or Jordanian intelligence,” said Hassan Hanieh, a former Islamic extremist who now studies jihadist movements. “From the beginning, he [Barack Hussein Obama] was deceiving them.”

It’s a moonbat, twe, a *moonbat!* We have plenty of those around here, but we’re trying to twist a few wings to vote for Scott.
I just checked my union’s web site; I haven’t gotten an e-mail from them with a Croakley endorsement.
Nothing on the web site. At all. With one week left, I’d have thought they’d be burning up my server by now but, no.
They’ve backed losers in the past like Deval Patrick and Barky…anything with a (D) after their name is usually endorsed. Is the worm turning?
The rumor mill says that a lot of unions are keeping quiet on this one because the one they would normally support is an uninformed hack. Heaven forbid they’d back any other party! Their silence pretty much tells the story.
I’m gonna check other unions’ web sites; unfortunately, we do have SEIU here in combination with another union. Let’s see what they have to say.
Will continue to wait for the e-mail……

Zeeshopper // January 12, 2010 at 3:46 pm
Good work… Excellent video…
However, I would add that the right question to ask is the following:
Is Barack Hussein Obama “eligible to the office of President” under Article II, Section 1, Clasue 5 of the Constitution of the United States?
The issue is not simply whether or not Barack Hussein Obama was born in Hawaii, the issue is whether or not Barack Hussein Obama is “eligible to the office of President”.
Article II, Section 1, Clause 5: No person except a natural-born citizen …shall be eligible to the office of President.
The issue of whether or not Obama is “eligible to the office of President” depends upon whether or not he is an Article II “natural born citizen” of the United States.
The phrase “natural born citizen” “must be interpreted in the light of the common law, the principles and history of which were familiarly known to the framers of the Constitution”.
United States v. Wong Kim Ark., 18 S. Ct. 456, 169 U.S. 649 (U.S. 03/28/1898)
[1] SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
16] The Constitution nowhere defines the meaning of these words [“citizen of the United States,” and “natural-born citizen of the United States”], either by way of inclusion or of exclusion, except in so far as this is done by the affirmative declaration that “all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States.” In this, as in other respects, it [The Constitution] must be interpreted in the light of the common law, the principles and history of which were familiarly known to the framers of the Constitution. Minor v. Happersett, 21 Wall. 162; Ex parte Wilson, 114 U.S. 417, 422; Boyd v. United States, 116 U.S. 616, 624, 625; Smith v. Alabama, 124 U.S. 465. The language of the Constitution, as has been well said, could not be understood without reference to the common law. 1 Kent Com. 336; Bradley, J., in Moore v. United States, 91 U.S. 270, 274.
The “common law, the principles and history of which were familiarly known to the framers of the Constitution” was plainly expressed by the Supreme Court of the United States in the dissenting opinion of Scott v. Sandford, which quoted Vattel, and explicitly stated, “The natives or natural-born citizens are those born in the country of parents who are citizens…”
Scott v. Sandford, 60 U.S. 393 (U.S. 01/02/1856)
[1] UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT
[418] …The natives or natural-born citizens are those born in the country of parents who are citizens…
Furthermore, the Supreme Court of the United States in 1814 relied upon Vattel’s “Law of Nations” as the authority on citizenship issues, and stated in The Venus, “The natives, or indigenes [natural-born citizens], are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens.”
The Venus, 12 U.S. (8 Cranch) 253, 1814
“Vattel, …is more explicit and more satisfactory on it [CITIZENSHIP ISSUES] than any other whose work has fallen into my hands, [Vattel] says, ‘…The natives, or indigenes [natural-born citizens], are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens.’ ”
Vattel’s Law of Nations: § 212. Citizens and natives
…The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens.
Finally, the Supreme Court of the United States, in Minor v. Happersett, confirmed the definition of a “natural born citizen” as “children born in a country of parents who were its citizens”.
Minor v. Happersett, 88 U.S. 21 Wall. 162 162 (1874)
“ ‘No person except a natural-born citizen or a citizen of the United States at the time of the adoption of the Constitution shall be eligible to the office of President’… The Constitution does not in words say who shall be natural-born citizens. Resort must be had elsewhere to ascertain that. At common law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners.”
Suffice it to say, Article II “natural born citizens” are those citizens who are “born in the country, of parents who are citizens.”
Hence, Obama is not an Article II “natural born citizen” of the United States, even if he was born in Hawaii, as his father was a “foreigner”…
To reiterate, Obama’s father was not a citizen of the United States. Therefore, Obama is not an Article II “natural born citizen” of the United States. Thus, Obama is not “eligible to the office of President”.

That as a good video and everyone should see it, but one question (legal) I have is, is Becks show copyrighted and could you get into trouble for using it?

ONE SECOND AFTER NEUT GINGRICH
about martial law
Nice job, Zees. I like it. I also am reminded of how much that episode affected me the first time I watched it! 🙂
@Benaiah:
Thanks for your suggestion and nice words. I might redo the video including the text you wrote. I made sure that the video doesn’t talk about the BC, since to me the NBC issue is the main issue.
@Don in California:
Thank you for your nice words. My video might get banned, but I made sure that I included a copyright notice in the info section on the video’s YouTube page. I might add it at the end of the video.
tina, I’ll be looking for the results later tonight. Fingers crossed!
@j.b.
Thank you. It also affected me when I watched it on TV.
Zeeshopper… Good Job !!! We can send it all over.
Unruly Passengers Disrupt Northwest Flight 243

Published : Tuesday, 12 Jan 2010, 2:15 PM EST
MyFoxDetroit.com – Sources tell Fox 2 that a flight from Amsterdam into Detroit Metropolitan Airport was held on the tarmac after landing because of unruly behavior by some of the passengers.
The source says five men from Saudi Arabai were saying something in Arabic that alarmed four on-board Federal Air Marshals. The Marshals speak Arabic. A decision was made to stop the plane on the tarmac away from the passenger terminal and remove the men from the plane.
Once the men were removed, the rest of passengers were then taken to the terminal for deboarding.
The men are in currently in custody at Metro Airport and being questioned by federal authorities.
Fox 2 has a crew at Metro Airport and more information will be posted as soon as it becomes available.

zeeshopper – Good video and logic. Do you think you could put in a few seconds after “Do you wonder why Obama locked up all his records?”
HE NEEDED TO -BUT WHY
O.T., with apologies and it may have been cited earlier today… this from Canada Free Press, 01-12-10, by Judi McCleod…….just when you thought it was safe, this Ovomit just keeps on going, and going like the “Energizer Nappy Head”.
This is really chilling and continues to point out the urgency of all our efforts to “Pull the chain” on him and his whole zoo of idiots:

Zeeshopper, You might add a comment about obama being a British citizen at birth. How would our Founding Fathers feel about a British citizen being President of the USA! Just a thought.

Again, good work… But, perhaps the following could enhance the video:
Is Barack Hussein Obama “eligible to the office of President” under Article II, Section 1, Clasue 5 of the Constitution of the United States?
Does it matter?
Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 states the following:
No person except a natural-born citizen …shall be eligible to the office of President.
Does it matter?
Is Barack Hussein Obama an Article II “natural-born citizen” of the United States/

Thanks for allowing me to share my input…
I would end the video with the following:
The Constitution of the United States.
Does it matter?
Benaiah, I like your additional comments and saying “Does it matter” is great!!
You said it, patriot dreamer. Fingers crossed.
If it wasn’t so cold out, I would go investigate metro airport. My mouth would get me in trouble though…I need back up.
Something else that’ll look really good on Janet Incompetano’s resume:

Sandy@ 1:47pm, That is why the President is required to be a Natural Born Citizen. The President will hopefully act in the best interest of the Country, and not get caught up in sympathy for the enemy.
Zeeshopper @ 3:46 pm
Very good work, you used his very own words, I liked how you put What if we are right?
I’m not a voyeur so as soon as anyone talks about a sex angle, I’m asleep. Guys in high places, bimbos will target you like heat seeking missiles. You won’t be the first or last and they will lie to you, you will lie to them….what a mess. I think these types of guys would save big money hiring a chaperon or duenna.
Patriot Dreamer @ 3:46 pm First you have to have ethics.

So our question to CONgress would be….why have an ethics committee???

The White House Tuesday argued President Barack Obama’s “steady diplomacy” had made America stronger and renewed its moral authority despite “unprecedented challenges” in his first year in office.

Mitch McConnel is a useless moron.
He refuses to call for Harry Reid to step down.
I wonder if Harry Reid would show Mitch the same courtesy.
Mr. McConnel, much like every other republican that I can think of, does not even understand the game that is being played here.
Sometimes, the GOP makes me sick to my stomach, bunch of sissies…
=======
I’m going to step in here and share a few things…..if you have problems with your officials, senators, and reps………fine…..slash them, crucify them, toilet tissue their yard…….hell, don’t vote for them…..
I’m from Kentucky, new resident and have watched my senators, and rep. Whitfield for two years.
I have a stack of letters from all three.
Bunning has fought for this state and helped keep utilities, gas and electricity, manageable for its residents compared to other states.
Whitfield just got back from Afghanistan.
Well I have letters from McConnell and he’s traveled the states informing residents of the monstrosity of a deathcare bill.
I have a letter stating he has taken the Senate floor more than 40 times in an effort to defeat the deathcare bill
SO, BACK OFF!!!
He also said that Obama’s “steady diplomacy” ???
Steady diplomacy to end our “democracy”????
Sounds to me like these are Unrepented Jihadi Liars who are wearing American/Christian clothing to infiltrate and convert or decapitate.

What does McConnell fighting against HelathSCare have to do with the original message? It is like saying that the husband couldn’t possibly be beating the wife because he was aalways defending women at work against sexual harrassment.
Wasn’t it Churchill something to the effect that Those that have the enemy at their mercy and don’t finish them off will never have or deserve peace.
Democrats have the killer instinct even when it is mostly based on LIES and tehy will create a crisis and sabotage and use every means possible legal or MOSTLY illegal to destroy the opposition even if it is within their party never mind when it is not. Republicans lack that and as long as they do we will neither have peace nor victory.
Anyway there is a Monopoly in CONgress of “Criminal” Lawyers and they all stick together like melted chocolate after awhile in the heat it all blends in and it is impossible to tell one form the other.
VOTE THEM ALL OUT and lets Reverse Course by bringing in all new people STARTING with Scott Brown …The Vote Heard Around the World.
I’m Down for Brown.
Get a smile from a frown, Vote for Brown.
