From My e-mail Bag:

I wonder who dug into this. Good information and wonder why the media has not EVER informed us of it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Back in 1961 people of color were called 'Negroes.' So how can the Obama 'birth certificate' state he is 'African-American' when the term wasn't even used at that time?


The birth certificate that the White House released lists Obama's birth as August 4, 1961. It also lists Barack Hussein Obama as his father. No big deal, right? At the time of Obama's birth, it also shows that his father is aged 25 years old, and that Obama's father was born in " Kenya, East Africa ". This wouldn't seem like anything of concern, except the fact that Kenya did not even exist until 1963, two whole years after Obama's birth, and 27 years after his father's birth. How could Obama's father have been born in a country that did not yet exist? Up and until Kenya was formed in 1963, it was known as the "British East Africa Protectorate".


On the birth certificate released by the White House, the listed place of birth is "Kapi'olani Maternity & Gynecological Hospital". This cannot be, because the hospital(so) in question in 1961 were called "Kauai Kaolin Children's Hospital" and "Kapi'olani Maternity Home", respectively. The name did not change to Kapi'olani Maternity & Gynecological Hospital until 1978, when these two hospitals merged. How can this particular name of the hospital be on a birth certificate dated 1961 if this name had not yet been applied to it until 1978?--JOG

JOG,


All seems true:
1. The term "African-American" was coined by...wait for it....Jesse Jackson in the early 80's.
2. "Kenya" was a part of the British "East Africa Protectorate" and primarily referred to as the "Kenya Colony" from 1920 to 1963, when independence was declared.  Kenya's constitution was adopted in 1964, remember? (Sorry about that, but it was all over the Oregonian at the time).
Finally, this from Wikipedia:
3. "The facility was originally founded by Queen Kapiʻolani as the Kapiʻolani Maternity Home in 1890 for which she held bazaars and luaus to raise $8,000 needed to start the Home. Kauikeolani Children’s Hospital opened in 1909 named for Emma Kauikeolani Napoleon Mahelona (1862–1931).

In 1978, it merged with Kapiʻolani Hospital to become Kapiʻolani Medical Center for Women and Children."


Obviously, the B.C. is more B.S. from B.O.

"Hey-hey, ho-ho: Barack Obama has to go!" should be the national mantra.


Remember this on ELECTION DAY 2012

Allen West on the Marines Urine Incident: 'Shut Your Mouth, War Is Hell'

 Rep. Allen West (R-Fla.), a former Army lieutenant colonel, sends THE WEEKLY STANDARD an email commenting on the Marines' video, and has given us permission to publish it.

“I have sat back and assessed the incident with the video of our Marines urinating on Taliban corpses. I do not recall any self-righteous indignation when our Delta snipers Shugart and Gordon had their bodies dragged through Mogadishu . Neither do I recall media outrage and condemnation of our Blackwater security contractors being killed, their bodies burned, and hung from a bridge in Fallujah.

“All these over-emotional pundits and armchair quarterbacks need to chill. Does anyone remember the two Soldiers from the 101st Airborne Division who were beheaded and gutted in Iraq ?

“The Marines were wrong. Give them a maximum punishment under field grade level Article 15 (non-judicial punishment), place a General Officer level letter of reprimand in their personnel file, and have them in full dress uniform stand before their Battalion, each personally apologize to God, Country, and Corps videotaped and conclude by singing the full US Marine Corps Hymn without a teleprompter.

“As for everyone else: unless you have been shot at by the Taliban, shut your mouth, war is hell.”

I love this guy!  No Earl Blumenauer, he.

THE "I WANT WHAT YOU GOT!" MENTALITY GOING STRONG

So, this guy, Todd Prager, lives in the city of Lake Oswego, and works for the City of Tigard.  When he bought his 2588 sq.ft. house on a street just off Country Club Rd., he was informed that he had no access rights to Oswego Lake, since it was privately owned, just like the Oswego Country Club, the Oswego Golf Course, and the Oswego Hunt Club; but at least he could access the swim park at the west end of the lake.  He understood those terms, commonly called CC&R's by realtors, and he chose to purchase the house anyway. 
Ah, but then Mr. Prager visited Sundeleaf Plaza, the newest public park in Lake Oswego.  There he could see that small part of the lake called "Lakewood Bay."  He could see ski boats; he could see the people swimming, the paddleboarders, the wakeboarders, and all those people enjoying the water of  Oswego Lake.  Privately-owned Oswego Lake.  And he saw homes. He saw homes far more desirable than his own. He saw bigger homes, he saw nicer homes, more expensive homes than his, right there on the shore of Oswego Lake. And he became very, very covetous.  He wanted a piece of that pie in the window, knowing full well that it was not ever his, and that he had earlier scorned it.  But greed is a powerful temptress, and, if he couldn't have a boat on the lake because it is on privately-owned property, he needed to do something, anything... Oh, he knew that Oswego Lake a manmade lake and is fed by an unnavigable canal and some spring creeks, nevertheless he became wistful.  He became pensive.  Then he became jealous.  He became very jealous of the people playing on the lake. Then he became angry.  He became angry at the people who owned the lake.  He became angry that they had something he wanted but could never, ever afford.  He became angry because the property owners had formed a Private Corporation to manage and protect the lake long, long before he was born.  And he became furious that he was being denied something which was never meant to be his at all.  (I hope his wife is alert, if you know what I mean.)
So Mr. Prager did what all covetous little people do:  he ran whining to the City Government of Lake Oswego, based on the spurious claim that the three lakeside public parks entitled the general public to full and continuous use of the lake. He became sort of a one-man "Occupy" movement, perhaps minus the dung and drugs.  Of course, he cares not a whit for the public's imaginary right to trespass:  he simply wants HIS access to the private property, but without the tedious burdens of increased taxation, Corporation dues and assessments, and the various fees paid by the lake property owners. Nor did he want any truck with the fees paid by the hundreds of "easement right" properties which, although not sited on the lakefront, were nevertheless granted access to the lake for swimming and boating.  (Actually, there are more families who DON'T live on the lake but have useage rights than there are lakefront families.)  They all have what he wants, and they all pay dearly for their private access to the privately-owned Oswego Lake.  Ah, but Mr. Prager, being the anointed special case that he is, wants their rights for himself, just without those cost burdens and all.
I will not stoop to calling Mr. Prager a "socialist," a "crackpot," nor any other label:  I have never met the man.  But his actions and his words reveal volumes about his character, and of the nature of his desires.  His greed is blatant.  His cupidity is the stuff of legend.  His selfish disregard for the property rights of others: unfathomable.  John the Apostle named "the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the boastful pride of life" as being most detrimental to healthy character. In that light, I offer this suggestion to Mr. Prager, the City Arborist for Tigard: 
I have a friend, Mr. Prager, let's call him "Jack."
"Jack" owns some acreage near Amity, and he has a lovely, large natural spring fed pond on his property.  The pond abuts the public road which, according to your own written words, renders that pond available for public access.  Therefore, I urge you, Mr. Prager, to visit "Jack's" acreage, perhaps even park on that road's shoulder, and enjoy your imaginary right to "public access" to "Jack's" tempting pond.  Oh, and before I forget, "Jack," in addition to the acreage and the lovely pond which he owns, well, "Jack" also owns a beautiful Ithaca over-and-under 12-gauge shotgun, and, trust me, Todd, he knows how to use it.  Still, I'm certain that "Jack" would be more than willing to demonstrate to you both his right to private property as well as his shotgun expertise, "up close and personal."
You see, Mr. Prager, private property is just that, privately-owned.  Sort of like "Jack's" pond, my home, and your own home.  Let's say your home abuts Atwater Street, a publicly-owned thoroughfare in the city of Lake Oswego, and is therefore, by your own perverse rationale, available to the general public to use or misuse as desired.  Since you seem to believe that "all water in the state belongs to the State," I expect that you will have the tub filled with warm, not tepid, water and awaiting my pleasure.  Oh, incidentally, I think I may have some sort of intestinal "flu," but the warm water in your tub shouldn't cause us any problems.  I hope.  At least I can shower off, right Todd? 
Have a nice day.

COPY AND PASTE THIS, AND SEND IT ON

Dear Mr. Rand,
Recently you sent us a letter encouraging us to renew our lapsed membership in AARP by the requested date. I know it is not what you were looking for, but this is the most honest response I can give you. Our gap in coverage is merely a microscopic symptom of the real problem, a deepening lack of faith.
While we have proudly maintained our membership for several years and have long admired the AARP goals and principles, regrettably, we can no longer endorse its abdication of our values.. Your letter specifically stated that we can count on AARP to speak up for our rights, yet the voice we hear is not ours.
Your offer of being kept up to date on important issues through DIVIDED WE FAIL presents neither an impartial view nor the one we have come to embrace.. We do believe that when two parties agree all the time on everything presented to them, one is probably not necessary. But, when the opinions and long term goals are diametrically opposed, the divorce is imminent. This is the philosophy which spawned our 200 years of government.
Once upon a time, we looked forward to being part of the senior demographic. We also looked to AARP to provide certain benefits and give our voice a power we could not possibly hope to achieve on our own. AARP gave us a sense of belonging which we no longer enjoy. The Socialist politics practiced by the Obama Regime and empowered by AARP serves only to raise the blood pressure my medical insurance strives to contain. Clearly a conflict of interest there!
We do not understand the AARP posture, feel greatly betrayed by the guiding forces that we expected to map out our senior years and leave your ranks with a great sense of regret.
We mitigate that disappointment with the relief of knowing that we are not contributing to the problem anymore by renewing our membership. There are numerous other organizations which offer discounts without threatening our way of life or offending our sensibilities.
This Obama Regime scares the living daylights out of us. Not just for ourselves, but for our proud and bloodstained heritage. But even more importantly for our children and grandchildren. Washington has rendered Soylent Green a prophetic cautionary tale rather than a science-fiction scare tactic.
I have never in my life endorsed any militant or radical groups, yet now I find myself listening to them. I don ' t have to agree with them to appreciate the fear which birthed their existence. Their borderline insanity presents little more than a balance to the voice of the Socialist Mindset in power.. Perhaps I became American by a great stroke of luck in some cosmic uterine lottery, but in my adulthood I CHOOSE to embrace it and nurture the freedoms it represents as well as the responsibilities it requires.


Your website generously offers us the opportunity to receive all communication in Spanish.. ARE YOU KIDDING??? The illegal perpetrators have broken into our ' house ' , invaded our home without our invitation or consent. The President has insisted we keep these illegal perpetrators in comfort and learn the perpetrator ' s language so we can communicate our reluctant welcome to them.
I DON ' T choose to welcome them.
I DON ' T choose to support them.
I DON ' T choose to educate them.
I DON ' T choose to medicate them, pay for their food or clothing.


American home invaders get arrested..
Please explain to me why foreign lawbreakers can enjoy privileges on American soil that Americans do not get? Why do some immigrants have to play the game to be welcomed and others only have to break and enter to be welcomed?
We travel for a living. Walt hauls horses all over this great country, averaging over 10,000 miles a month when he is out there. He meets more people than a politician on caffeine overdose. Of all the many good folks he enjoyed on this last 10,000 miles, this trip yielded only ONE supporter of the current Regime. One of us is out of touch with mainstream America .
Since our poll is conducted without funding, I have more faith in it than ones that are driven by a need to yield AMNESTY. (aka - make voters out of the foreign lawbreakers so they can vote to continue the government ' s free handouts). This addition of 10 to 20 Million voters who then will vote to continue Socialism will OVERWHELM our votes to control the government ' s free handouts. It is a "slippery slope" we must not embark on!
As Margret Thatcher (former Prime Minister of Great Britain) once said "Socialism is GREAT - UNTIL you run out of other people ' s money".
We have decided to forward this to everyone on our mailing list, and will encourage them to do the same... With several hundred in my address book, I have every faith that the eventual exponential factor will make a credible statement to you.
I am disappointed as all get out !!!! 
I am more scared than I have ever been in my entire life !!!
I am ANGRY !!
I am MAD as hell, and I ' m NOT gonna take it anymore!

U.S.S.A. @ WORK

Congressman Dennis Kuchinich (Socialist-disguised-as-Democrat,Ohio) and four co-conspirators have proposed HR 3784, which will amend IRS laws and establish a "Reasonable Profits Board."
http://thehill.com/images/stories/blogs/flooraction/jan2012/hr3784.pdf
This proposed "Reasonable Profits Board" will determine just how much profit is "reasonable" under  IRS code, but will only control the profits of, wait for it......, OIL COMPANIES.  That's right, only oil and natural gas producers will have their profit margin "determined by the Board."  No brokerage firm's profits, no insurance company's profits, no tobacco company's profits, no farmer's profits, no Solyndra profits (as if), no mega-bank's profits, no internet site like Yahoo or Google will be so regulated: only oil.
You see, when we have a Congress (and White House) predisposed against eeevil profits, excluding, of course, their own, their only means of bankrupting and subsequently "nationalizing" an industry is to first regulate it into bankruptcy, "bail out" the very industry they "fixed,"  and then instate their own hand-picked directors to run that industry.  That sort of socialist confiscation of industries has worked out so very well in the Soviet Union, Cuba, Zimbabwe, Greece, Somalia, Egypt, Libya, Syria, Vietnam, Ethiopia, Bangladesh, and Venezuela, after all.  Of course Congress, and this President, knows far more about how to successfully run a business without profits because they, um, ahh, they, uh, well, they just DO, that's all. 
Sterling examples of such expert Congressional oversight would be: "Fannie Mae," Solyndra, Bernie Madoff, the Postal Service, the GM Volt, ethanol subsidies, wind farm subsidies (how appropriate), solar energy subsidies, and universal medical insurance, whence came the "You'll just have to pass this bill to find out what's in it" argument.   Incidentally, I fail to see "Medical care" as one of the "Certain Rights" endowed by their Creator as mentioned in the Declaration of Independence, nor do I find the institution of government-controlled medical care nor control of corporate profits mentioned in any phrase in the Constitution. 
Wherefore then does Congress presume to be somehow lawfully and/or intellectually enabled to define "reasonable profit?"  And, since anyone financially connected to ANY oil/natural gas company will be inelligble to serve on the "Reasonable Profits Board," whom does that leave?  College professors, hyper-environmentalists, and Congressional nephews, just to name the top-tier candidates.
Socialism is defined as:
"any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods;" and/or
"a stage of society in Marxist theory transitional between capitalism and communism." 
You have two choices:  submit to this tyranny like a lamb to the slaughter;  or you can fight against this government's attempts to push this country into the abyss of impoverishment from whence there is no return. Ask any Somali refugee or Cuban refugee. The list goes on and on. 
"Communism has never come to power in a country that was not disrupted by war or corruption, or both."
–John Fitzgerald Kennedy
"Socialism only works in two places: Heaven where they don't need it, and hell where they already have it."
-Ronald Reagan
"The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money ”   (Current National Debt stands at 15,262 million dollars.)
― Margaret Thatcher
