I thought the official line was?...

Sen. John McCain, (RINO)- AZ, on the 'birth' issue:

All I know is that that came up during the campaign, and there was never any credence given to it," Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., said. "In these days of the blogosphere, a lot of things are given weight that shouldn't be. I didn't ever look into it specifically, but no one in my campaign ever found anything, were given anything, or searched for any information that would lead us to believe that was the case.(emphasis mine)

But hasn't it been the position of the leftists and the RINOs that Hussein O. has been/was 'thoroughly vetted' and whatnot?

Liars all! But not to worry, people who lie like this have to build lie upon lie, falsehood upon falsehood, until their entire house of cards comes crashing down upon them. Which is the precise reason that it is so vitally important to continue to pursue this momentus issue all the way to the goal line. The self-deluded opposition notwithstanding.

The prospect for secession looms ever nearer

I'm self-admittedly a bit biased on this topic, but y'all really do need to pay particularly close attention to the goings on in Oklahoma. I flatter myself that I have a pretty good sense of the general attitude of the citizenry in this state. I may be a bit more radical and outspoken about my intentions than most Okies are comfortable with, but you can write it down that there really is a "silent majority" here in Oklahoma that the other side is currently doing all it possibly can do to provoke to action.

Vanishing American has been writing quite a bit lately about the ominous 'healthcare' initiative. I personally do not see how it can be stopped at this point. And stopping it at this point would merely amount to a delay in its adoption anyway. On the other hand, states like mine will most definitely take action to protect their citizens against such insanity. Which, when you boil it all down, comes down to an all-out assault on fundamental liberty. Good health is not a guarantee, nor is it a "right." Of course, I already know that the 'healthcare' bill isn't intended to make the citizenry more healthy, but to destroy personal liberty. Which is the reason that it must be resisted with the firmest, manly kind of resistance we can possibly muster. You may be asking "where are all the men?" I say to you again, watch Oklahoma. The process will take some time, and the impatient among us (who I think are not as firmly dedicated to the cause as they like to let on, generally speaking) will continue to let loose their criticisms of non-binding resolutions, the ineffectiveness of the TEA rallies, etc., etc., etc... And yet the steady and resolved among us will continue to march on. I'm not sure that I fit well into either one of those categories, but I know that a lot of my brethren do. Hide and watch.

Exposing "hate", the "American Way"

Be sure not to miss the long discussion ongoing under Dr. Keyes's article Notre Dame: Promoting the Glamour of Evil, an article that the leftist organization "People for the American Way" pays its unapproving tribute to, as well as a connected leftist blogger who declares Keyes's site, in typical leftist vernacular, to be "hate-filled." (see the linked articles beneath the comments to the post, one of which will now be this one.)

As I observed in a comment submitted under the entry, self-proclaimed "right wing watch(ing)" leftists are apparently barely capable of writing a sentence out without the word "hate," or some derivative thereof, being incorporated. Whenever the so-called "Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC)" decides to release its report on Keyes's site, let us count the ways in which it uses the descriptive "hate" and all the derivatives thereof. These people are obviously obsessed with "hate."

But it's all good. When you attract the attention of leftist groups such as the self-deluded falsely named People for the American Way, you can rest in the assurance that you're doing something right. The folks at that organization haven't the capacity for understanding what the American Way is or entails, which is why they're relegated to casting aspersions and invectives in the direction of those who do.

Update, 3-28-09:

I said the following in a parenthetical remark under the initial entry:

(see the linked articles beneath the comments to the post, one of which will now be this one.).

The latter part of that statement is no longer, at the time of this writing, the case because shortly after this entry was registered as a link under Keyes's article, it inexplicably disappeared. Indeed, three links which were formerly listed under the entry have since disappeared, including the hostile links that I mention above in the initial entry.

What exactly this means, I'm not clear on at this point. But I'm going to moniter the fate of future links to Keyes's articles, both approving and disapproving, to see what happens there. I'll let you know what I find. Perhaps it's just a temporary anomaly, I simply do not know at this point. But I seem to recall another of my linked posts all of a sudden, and inexplicably disappearing under another of Keyes's articles. If that is the case, though, it seems to have re-appeared, as inexplicably as it disappeared before. Weird.

Salient Point

One of the big topics of discussion of late over at Alan Keyes's Loyal to Liberty site has been the issue of Hussein Obama's eligibility. Dr. Keyes has tackled the issue today in a new article entitled Biden's Gridiron Humor- Is Obama Laughing? in which he discusses the ridicule Congressman Posey is being subjected to for daring to propose legislation which would require that future presidential candidates document their eligibility.

Why the ridicule from the left over a proposal for a piece of legislation that makes as much sense as Congressman Posey's simple, Constitution respecting proposal makes?

Dr. Keyes observes:

Ridicule is a standard tactic of deceivers trying to discredit anyone who draws attention to their dishonesty. With respect to the eligibility issue, however, it requires very little thought and just a modicum of common sense to see through the ploy. The reason for mobilizing the jeering section is also clear. Admitting that in future it would be appropriate to verify the eligibility of candidates for President strongly implies that it would be appropriate to do so now.

An outstanding and a salient point indeed! And one that all of us should be making every time one of these leftist hacks jeers and ridicules anyone who respects the constitution enough to try and prevent its being trampled upon like last week's newspaper.

Incidentally, an Oklahoma Congressman has introduced similar legislation in our state legislature. I haven't kept up with the progress of the bill, nor with its popularity among our legislators. But given the controversial nature of some of the measures they've taken up over the last couple of legislative sessions, with jeering and ridicule from the usual suspects on virtually all sides, I imagine they won't shy away from tackling this issue head-on either.

I'll get on it, though. Promise.

Question for leftists:

How exactly do you propose to subject a people under leftist-socialist government who are cultured enough to appreciate both the beauty and serenity of a Beethoven, 6th Symphony (beginning at about 27:00 - my apologies, I couldn't find anything more narrow. But why am I apolgizing?; the entire symphony is outstanding!), and at the same time uncultured enough to appreciate the humor of a Ray Stevens and Black Velveteen Art? Ans: You can't subject them to leftism. Why are you trying? Do you want a war?
