   This means Mr. Ceasar has .006% of the need signatures. Hope springs eternal, eh, bright boy? At this rate, it will only be another 166 years and 8 months till the recall petition can move forward.

   Governor Jindal is a good governor, IMO.

   Only 55 signatures? What kind of Luzian politico IS Ron Ceasar anyway? If he can’t STEAL four or five hundred thousand signatures he should turn in his Kingfish sleep set (with the footies). Huey Long would be ashamed of the man.

   There is a “rule of 200″ that says that on average, people live in a personal universe of about 200 people. It is derived from observing that the average wedding is attended by about 200 people.

   This guy either has no family/friends or people who actually know him have a lower opinion of him than those of us who don’t.

   Really, assuming due diligence on Mr. Ceasar’s part, the fact he only has 55 signatures is amazing. ANY politician usually has more than 55 people upset with them at any one time.

    I thought I would share this grim but accurate 4th of July message from Mark Steyn.

    Liberty and Loss
    By Mark Steyn

    I’m afraid my Fourth of July column this year casts a bit of a damper on the fireworks. Perhaps the most depressing aspect of Obama’s speech last week was one so obvious it was barely remarked upon. As spokesperson for the spendaholic class, the President essentially told the world: Nothing’s gonna change. We’re gonna spend spend spend the republic into the abyss.

    In my soon to be imminently forthcoming book, I quote one of the most poignant lines from the Declaration of Independence, one that never made it into the final text – Thomas Jefferson’s parting words to his fellow British subjects across the seas: “We might have been a free and great people together.” There is a sense both of regret at the separation yet also of its inevitability. Today America is divided between those who see no problem with a bloated, wasteful four-trillion-bucks-a-year behemoth, and those who understand it’s killing the country. A betting man might wonder how long this “free and great people” will wish to remain “together”, especially when the spendaholics’ policies seem consciously designed to fracture the citizenry: The old against the young, the latter crippled by debt run up by the former. Poor Hispanics vs poor whites, both chasing jobs that no longer exist. Young Hispanics vs old whites: 83 per cent of Medicare beneficiaries are white; 70 per cent of births in Dallas’ biggest hospital are Hispanic. In a post-prosperity America, that would seem an unlikely recipe for social tranquility. Feckless bankrupt states like California vs comparatively prudent, solvent states like New Hampshire: How many of the non-spendaholic jurisdictions are prepared to pick up the tab for Sacramento, Albany and the rest for the privilege of keeping 50 stars in Old Glory?

    This is not an age favorable to big, centralized entities that outlive their raison d’être – ask the Soviets and the Yugoslavs. I wonder if a 21st century Jefferson will have cause to modify the original’s farewell to his compatriots: “We might have stayed a free and great people together.”

    Not the happiest thought but Happy Independence Day nevertheless. And enjoy it while you can.

    Excerpt from the article at Politico:

    ” … The latest attempt comes as Jindal’s once sky-high approval ratings have dropped to 55 percent. … ”

    When a conservative who is as Good at Governing as Bobby Jindal is, is written about in this manner, it is clear that Politico is spinning the number they put up as if it were a negative, whereas they would have stated that a Liberal candidate with the same number would be a triumph, an indication of how beloved he is.

    I also think that we can allow that the Main Stream Old Bia Liberal-Leftist media does actively work to defame Consersvatives, and that they have done so with Bobby Jindal, to no avail.

    So, Bobby Jindal’s alleged 55 Percent approval rating is most likely around 97%, and that those polled who gave a negative are more likely lazy, racist, leftists, many from out-of-state, who hate Conservatives, who don’t work, who want a Government hand out, and who want Government to take care of them, while Government insinuates itself on others, the opposite of what Bobby Jindal’s governing style perpetuates.

    I agree. His speeches sound very conservative, but I have wondered about him too. He is doing a good job in LA, as far as I can see. But he should stay there and help his state. Not everyone who is a good Governor or local politician is automatically a good candidate for national office. For some reason, everyone who makes a speech with some Conservative ideas start appearing in the news as Presidential candidates! We sound so desparate when that happens! And, Jindahl can’t run for POTUS, as he is not a natural born citizen.

    To clarify the Natural Born Citizen clause in the Constitution, RedPill can give better detail that I can. But it is my understanding that the President must be born of parents who are CITIZENS of the US at the time of the candidate’s birth. As with Marco Rubio, Jindahl’s parents were not citizens when he was born.

    I think perhaps a Constitutional amendment might be a good idea there, for many reasons. That does NOT mean, children of ILLEGALS! Only children of legal immigrants who haven’t completed their citizenship as of the birth of their child.

    The Professional Left pegged Bobby as a ‘loser’ before the first of the Gulf Oil reached the surface? “Bobby ‘blew it’ ” they cried!

    That’s when O’Blameyou got off the plane and his ‘crew’ started by handing out a-chewings before the ground crew could get the wheel chocks in.

    On Obama’s first trip to Louisiana after the disaster, the governor describes how the president took him aside on the tarmac after arriving to complain about a letter that Jindal had sent to the administration requesting authorization for food stamps for those who had lost their jobs because of the spill.

    As Jindal describes it, the letter was entirely routine, yet Obama was angry and concerned about looking bad.

    “Careful,” he quotes the president as warning him, “this is going to get bad for everyone.”

    Nearby on the tarmac, Jindal recalls, then-White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel was chewing out his own chief of staff, Timmy Teepell.

    “If you have a problem pick up the f——n’ phone,” Jindal quotes Emanuel telling Teepell.

    The governor asserts that the White House had tipped off reporters to watch the exchange on the New Orleans tarmac that Sunday in May and deemed it a “press stunt” that symbolized what’s wrong with Washington.

I’m not sure if Hugh Jass ships his designs to Kenya though so Moe can start a home-based bidness, participate in the hated capitalism, and make Hugh Jass a multibillionaire.

    Whirled Peas: My wife and I met a woman from Kenya, on a trip to South Africa last November, and she and others believe Obama was born in Kenya. The woman acted at ease with her belief. That doesn’t make it true but it makes me wonder.

    Not wanting to especially tangle with anyone (Happyscrapper #43 and afterwards), there are several ways to look at the Constitution’s language and Framers’ intent. Some court (Supreme ultimately) may have to rule about what “is” is, a la Bill Clinton’s parsing to avoid a felony conviction, that is — “natural born” means what. I think the original wording was included, as I’ve written here before, to exclude Alexander Hamilton, born in a Dutch colony in the Caribbean, and any later imported personages from England or Europe who might be Royal by some connection. They wish the President to be actually birthed in the Colonies. A Colonial. After all, thirteen of the first Presidents were born before 1789. And they were born in this land, physically, of parents who were English citizens. Washington, Adams, etc. were “natural born” yet of foreign parents.

    Jindal was born in this country but of LEGAL immigrants. Florida’s Senator Rubio may be in a different category: born in the USA, of parents who were legal immigrants AND granted special status as political refugees from Cuba as their feet hit the ground. A US Congress passed that law and it was signed by a President. So, the technical legal question of “natural born” meaning just what, isn’t settled, but Jindal may be different from Rubio. I am not sure of the answer.

    Obama “seems” now to have been born in the USA, Hawaii. Of one citizen and a plainly foreign father. I have long thought, and the documents that oozed out of Obama’s custody show, that his Mother was not legally married to Obama, BHO Senior. In Wikipedia, it indicated that his father’s first wife, to whom he was indeed married but not divorced, gave him permission “according to Luo custom” to take a second wife. Yeah right! Legal in Kenya but not in Hawaii. Bigamy! She was also pregnant at her illegal wedding, and just barely over 18 at his conception. I’ve thought his covering up these details was to keep the light of day away from his bastardy. Like Bill Clinton’s Mother, Stanley Anne got around, and he must have taken heavy razzing about it as a kid. What if, WHAT IF, in her travels Stanley Anne Dunham had visited France, had a one-night stand with some anonymous man (a what-if, now) and returned to her parents in Hawaii and given birth. She a citizen, father unknown, is the child a citizen that would satisfy folk who object to BHO now? As I say, several ways to look at the question.

    And it will be gratifying to see the complete demise of the regressive areas that are left, as they disolve into chaos and poverty. The only problem is that it is a free country and they will be able to move to successful states and try to push their incredibly stupid and wrong agenda on the rest of us. They will NEVER admit they are wrong, nor will they change. If only we could put a border around the old California and seal them in, like a quarantine against the spread of a deadly disease.

    I WANT to be wrong!! I am hoping that Rubio will be found to be eligible. He is certainly as eligible as Obama!! I really love Rubio and he seems the perfect person to be our President, at least at this time. He is young, very good looking, Conservative, extremly articulate, and very very smart. Everything we want. If he was running now, he would be a shoe-in! Perhaps in 2016 or 2020. I just can’t get over how much he impresses me!! If he spends the next 4-8 years in the Senate, he absolutely cannot lose! And perhaps with someone like Allan West as his VP. No one could touch him. I have to admit, I would not be missing any of Rubio’s speeches on TV!

    Rubio is all you say, Happy. And, he speaks perfectly unaccented English, speaks at length with no notes and NO Teleprompter. Quick of mind he appears, and a nice personality comes through.

    He also has a beautiful family, wife is lovely, 4 good kids. I assume he has political skills as he became Speaker of the Fla. House pretty quickly.
    He just turned 40, and seems content as you indicate HappyS. to wait a while and rack up experience and accomplishments.

    Gov. Jindal is a natural born citizen therefore eligible to be POTUS. He and his parents have a deep appreciation for the opportunities the United States has afforded them. The Gov. has lived and gone to school with the ilk and knows first hand what is happening in this country.

    This country voted for President Moloch, and we are punished for it, unfortunately.

    Well, Caesar and Jindal’s other Louisiana opponents don’t have to stress for long. They’ll be rid of him soon enough. Only another year and a half or so before he leaves the state to be our next Vice-President.

    OT but a great story about the last Nam-era draftee set to retire. From Eugene, OR of all places!

    http://www.katu.com/news/local/124951074.html

    I joined up in 1971 to go and do my patriotit chore. I don’t remeber this hero, but we could well have run into each other in Germany. I did my three years and got out. I went back in 1981 to do a year in the Guard with Co G. 143rd Airborne Ranger Bat.

    I remember all the druggie A-Holes back in the early seventies. There moto was FTA. I did not fit that mold either. My moto was “Change The Army”.

    My, how it has changed.

    Back then the old timers were still talking about the old “Brown Boot Army”.

    I did a lot of support work with the troops during Desert Storm in Saudi Arabia. I ran into a lot of the old “Lifers” that joined up when I first did.

    God Bless Them All

    I believe the Constitution puts it differently. That is the problem. The Constitution says “natural born”, which means they must have citizen parents. The parents can be legal immigrants, but must be actual citizens when their child is born. That is the big argument here.
