   Once again, thank you 1960s – in which I grew up.

   True, but absolutely no reason to allow the scam to remain unchallenged.

   Maybe that has some relation to the refusal of the media to discuss the issue. If the issue is discussed the scam dies because any close look at Obama’s past will show the “birthers” are correct. So, it’s not discussed.

   Perhaps we can be intimidated into ignoring the law and the Constitution? Not good.

   That reconciliation thing ain’t going very well with Obama anyway.

   I understand what you’re saying.

   However: to not do anything about this matter; to acquiesce because of fear and intimidation; would merely be to give in to extortion that is “too strong to resist”.

   Analogous to the dangerous, bone-headed, out-of-control spending the dangerous, foolish, arguably evil socialists are engaged in when braying about certain businesses, industries, or concerns that are “too big to fail”.

   And, analogous to the shorts-staining quaking of the fools who worry about the consequences of militarily stopping the Iranian savages from getting nuclear weapons now – while appearing completely heedless of what the consequences will – not would, but will be if and when those barbarians get their evil hands on nukes.

   I, for one, would rather stand up to extortion…now.

   The Birth issue seems to be a non starter-but as far as “reconciliation between black and white for the foreseeable future”-it isn’t going to happen. Racebaiting is too big an industry, too big a power source for all too many really bad people. That would be “really bad people” in government, non governmental agencies, media, academia and such.

   The gang mentality of the street has reached all levels of this society and mostly wiped out two generations of progress. WHEN push DOES come to shove all the wrong people will be the first to be hurt and I fear me and mine will be among them.

   We wouldn’t want a crisis to go wasted would we? What is the death of the innocent compared to Making the World a Better Place by fiat? All I ask for is a little revenge on the Leftist rats.

    From Gates of Vienna reporting on the CBS investigation on swine flu, the reporting on what is actually a swine flu is dubious at best. For instance, less than 2% of all flu cases in CA are confirmed swine flu but that is not what gets reported by CDC.

    Very true. These days anything with a stuffy nose and cough is diagnosed as “flu”. I’m watching the Martinsville race, where it’s been reported that Matt Kenseth is driving with the “flu”. Yeah, right! CDC wants more “flu” to get more money to “study” it. MSM wants more “flu” to sell stories. And, the government wants more “flu” to promote a crisis and fix it by grabbing power. I’ve had patients with the flu and I’ve had the flu. Stuffy noses, coughs and sneezes are not the flu.

Right at the moment the bigger issue is the power grabs-and behind the Kenyan Hussein is Biden and Pelosi so we best keep the one good eye on the bigger issue.

    The Kenyan Hussein does consider himself President of the world.

    Sorry but it can be the case for one person and not the next. To make such a generalization about what one person’s symptoms will be when they have the flu means ALL people who have the flu will respond in exactly the same fashion is unsound. And what type of flu are we talking about?

    So no, ALL flu does not look exactly the same in ALL patients.

    Way to broad of a generalization there….way too broad.

    JS, don’t confuse an URI (upper respiratory infection) with the “flu”. With the flu (vs a bad cold), you do have a fever. You are very weak and exhausted. Many times, people can get a URI. That can be treated rather easily. There is absolutely no way you can walk around and conduct your usual life with the “flu”…the real flu. Many people get “bad” colds. Sure, they feel bad.

    I’m not. It is not sound to say nor act like all flu looks the same in all patients. You can not conclude simply because so and so does not have the same symptoms as such and such who had the flu means so and so did not have the flu.

    A patient/person can have the flu and not have all the same symptoms as another. To say all people/patients have to have ALL the same symptoms other wise they don’t have the flu is not sound.

    Fla. gov’s Obama hug lingers in US Senate primary

    TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) – Republican Gov. Charlie Crist probably wasn’t worried that literally embracing President Barack Obama back in February and strongly supporting the $787 billion federal stimulus package would hurt his U.S. Senate campaign.

    Sure, the hardcore party base wasn’t happy, but the appearance was an opportunity to win over Democrats, independents and moderate Republicans who voted for Obama. The president’s approval ratings were high, and any Republican thinking about running for an open seat in 2010 stopped thinking about it when Crist signaled interest.

    All except former House Speaker Marco Rubio. Political insiders said it wasn’t logical to challenge an incumbent governor who had high approval ratings and could raise gobs of money. However, Rubio said it didn’t make sense for the highest-profile Republican in Florida to embrace a Democratic president and a plan that would raise the federal deficit.

    Now Rubio is gaining momentum as he reminds Republican voters of Crist’s hug. And the same political insiders who downplayed Rubio are starting to think the unthinkable: Crist’s campaign might be threatened by another Republican.

    “I just knew that if we were true to ourselves and what we stand for, and we went out and told enough people about it, that we would begin to make progress and that’s what’s happening,” Rubio said.

    Rubio has swept 12 straw polls held by county Republican committees by enormous percentages. He nearly tripled his fundraising last quarter, topping the $1 million mark to provide a financial and psychological boost to his campaign. Conservative radio talk show hosts adore him, as well as party activists. He’s been praised by conservative columnist George Will and endorsed by former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee and Sens. James Inhofe, R-Okla., and Jim DeMint, R-S.C..

    In two months, Crist’s lead over Rubio in a Quinnipiac University poll shrunk from 29 percentage points to 15 points. Although it still doesn’t mean Crist is in trouble.

    “There’s nothing to celebrate,” Rubio said. “The truth is we’re still behind. The only good news is we’re not behind by as much as we used to be.”

    Rubio’s rise is probably about to get more difficult as Crist pays more attention to him and to the race itself.

    “Charlie really hasn’t done much campaigning other than the fundraising, and Marco’s been out there beating the bushes for it. I think that’s why you’re seeing this in the poll numbers. I don’t see this as a great rejection of our governor,” said Jamie Miller, a Florida-based Republican strategist.

    A large part of that opportunity is pointing out the Crist appearance with Obama.

    “I was horrified,” Rubio said, adding that Crist canceled lunch at the governor’s mansion with former Gov. Jeb Bush and other former governors to be with Obama. “This was more than just a courtesy greeting, this was an embrace and a support of $800 billion of deficit spending.”

    Crist says he has no regrets about appearing with Obama.

    “I was happy and delighted to do so. I’m a civil guy. The president of the United States is the president of the United States,” Crist said. “Especially when it’s the first visit to Florida and I’m invited to be there. I have that kind of respect in my soul.”

    Rubio is positioning himself as the true conservative in the race, and he’s winning over those paying attention. He’s a gifted speaker who excites Republicans not just with delivery, but the substance of his remarks.

    “He’s more than articulate, he actually believes it. He is a Ronald Reagan/Jack Kemp Republican, the kind that understands why our values are good for every American regardless of where they are on the socio-economic scale,” said Sid Dinerstein, chairman of the Palm Beach County Republican Party. “He just totally gets it. It’s in his core.”

    Crist, on the other hand, has incredible political skills, but he’s more about “poll-tested sound bites,” Dinerstein said.

    “He doesn’t have the core beliefs,” Dinerstein said. “That’s not who he is.”

    While Rubio is talking in detail about federal spending and health care reform, Crist is boiling the issues down by describing them as “cockamamie” and “crazy.”

    But Crist does have lots of money, about $6 million in the bank compared with about $1 million for Rubio. Crist also has name recognition and the network built through four statewide campaigns, the last three of which he’s won comfortably.

    “That is just a huge plus,” said David Winston, a Washington-based Republican pollster. “Rubio’s clearly quite talented. Crist is a proven winner.”

    And Crist isn’t going to let Rubio have the spotlight to himself for long. The governor has already begun running two radio ads attempting to distance himself from Obama by criticizing the president for trying to spend his way to prosperity, ignoring his own support of the stimulus package.
    “I haven’t devoted a lot of time to day-to-day campaigning and doing campaign speeches,” Crist said. “As each day passes and we get closer to election day, we will continue to ratchet up. We have not begun to fight, but now we do.”

    I think Rubio has a chance, its up to voters to make the differeence though and get out of their Thomas-style “He can’t win, so we must vote for whoever ears the R” mentality.

    I saw that the President’s daughters have not been vaccinated against the SWINE flu (I am not PC enough to call it otherwise). But isn’t it a declared emergency thus sayeth the One?

    Yeah, good for thee but not me. I listened to the health folks in ’76 and got the swine flu shot. Never been sicker before or since. As I recall more than 500 people developed Guillain-Barre syndrome (temporary paralysis) after receiving the vaccine and 25 died. I realize med tech is vastly improved, but still am not convinced.

    Thought about it also, but geez there are a lot of seats up, and have already given to Giles’ and Moncreif’s defense funds this month. Guess I don’t know if the 23rd in NY is where to concentrate the effort

    Yes, Rubio is the real deal. Crist is an idiot. He has screwed up Florida big time. I am a conservative Republican and my friends and I want him OUT. He is such a lightweight. His radio ads are out there and they are such a crock. Rubio is getting my $$.

    That is the best argument for why it is usually better that a Democrat win than a uber-liberal Republican. That kind of Republican is worse than a Democrat. “Winning by surrender” is the stupidest strategy the Stupid Party ever came up with but that should be the GOP motto these days. Kind of like shooting yourself in the head before your enemy does.

    No its not. Get a grip.

    And don’t you think the socialist left wants you to think that way?

    Anything Obama does can be undone. Look how quickly he’s reversed some of Bush’s agenda.

    Possibly, hopefully; I have a deep suspicion that this is the time the Left feels they have to go for the whole ring. Their One World Carbon Tax for Climate Change is not going away despite the turn down in Copenhagen.

    It seems as if every news story, every wildlife show ends up about Climate Change. We shall see. How we can undo Obama is to be seen.

    Ever notice that the ones who condemn “Bush’s agenda” are the same ones that passed his “agenda”? It’s like robbing a bank, getting caught and blaming it on someone’s suggestion. In politics, today, that’s a good defense. That “someone” gets punished and you walk away free and with the cash.

    Anyone ever wondered why there is never a thread here on MM’s website specifically to discuss the past of Obama? No, not just the eligibility issue or the birth certificate. His past is generally largely a mystery. Bit’s and pieces have emerged, but much is under lock and key.

    Should I conclude that few care about his mysterious past?. Or is it that this subject is so off limits that virtually no one, including conservatives, wants to discuss it?

    I don’t get the reluctance to try to make sense out of who Obama is by looking at who he has been in the past in detail as great as possible.

    It matters to me.

    Here a copy of an e-mail I just sent to O’Reilly, who also refuses to take a close look at Obama’s past, please remember this is an “open” thread, I don’t want to get kicked off MM’s website for mentioning the unmentionable:

    Hi Mr. O’Reilly,

    Each day that passes American is being scammed. We have as president a man who is clearly not Constitutionally qualified to be president. The media, including Fox News and talk radio, refuse to utter a word about the massive scam that is obvious to millions of Americans.

    If the murky, uncertain past of Obama existed with any other president, the media talking heads would be trying to sort out the truth 24/7. In Obama’s case they all appear to be afraid of the truth. Any discussion of Obama’s eligibility can only lead to one conclusion….he is not eligible. The solution the media has chosen, through fear and intimidation most likely, is “we just won’t talk about it”.

    How can someone like you, with common-sense and integrity, be coerced into never having a guest on your show to discuss this issue? Joseph Farah from WND was scheduled, but your TV show cancelled him…why?

    There is absolutely no way that anyone who carefully researches this subject can conclude anything but that Obama is not eligible.

    If you have a different opinion on Obama’s eligibility, how about covering it on your show? Millions of Americans would love to see and hear the “proof” that has satisfied you on this issue. The ratings would be through the roof. Of course, in the interest of “fair and balanced”, someone from the opposite viewpoint would need to be on the show also.

    America has been scammed, punk’d, conned into electing an unconstitutional president. I suppose one could say this was fitting since he doesn’t seem to think too highly of the U.S. Constitution.

    Fox News is becoming no different than the rest of the media, and that saddens me greatly. If Obama should run for a second term, will his past be blown off as unimportant still again?

    There is going to be egg on the collective faces of the complacent media when this scam unravels, and it will.

    If Keyes vs. Obama makes it to the discovery stage the truth will be unveiled and the charade will end. If not, there will be other lawsuits and appeals and as the scam appears close to being broken I believe many who have not yet talked will, trying to avoid being forced to talk under oath in court. There are millions of Americans to whom the Constitution still matters.

    It you don’t believe anything I wrote here there is still no reasonable excuse for not discussing this issue in the media, and more specifically, on The O’Reilly Factor.

    Thanks,

    BOB

    I think my “birther” post just ahead of your post froze this thread in it’s tracks. LOL

    I listened to the Utube video and you held your own well against Hannity, especially considering his complete control of time.

    I try to stay out of discussing religion, but I will say that for me and the environment I have lived in for my 66 years here on Earth, the influence of religion has been much more of a positve influence than a negative one.

    It has served a useful purpose whatever it turns out to be at the end.

    That may be true of yourself, but I doubt that your typical Muslim in the Mid East could say the same.

    Religion gets a special place making it insulated from criticism. The fundamentalists of all stripes take advantage of this.

    I’m glad you thought I did well against Sean. Thank you.
