At the heart of the convoluted controversy, according to his attackers, is the actual legitimacy of his presidency. There are really two battles being waged. The first involves his birthplace and his citizenship. His attackers claim they can prove he was not born in Hawaii but rather in Kenya and therefore cannot be president. The publisher biographies are just the latest information to surface that support the idea Obama was not born within U.S. borders. The second controversy ties directly into the first.

As the argument is presented, even if Obama was born in Hawaii, American presidents, unlike other politicians, are required to be natural born citizens of the United States. The problem is the Constitution doesn’t clearly define a natural born citizen. Is a natural born citizen one that is born within the U.S. and has one parent as a U.S. citizen or is the requirement both parents be U.S. citizens? There are on-going court cases in several states trying to answer this question. Obama’s mother, for the record, was a U.S. citizen but his father was not.

The inconsistencies regarding Obama’s background are troubling as one can argue that the man is a construct, a made to order politician with the vast majority of his upbringing and belief system hidden from view. Unfortunately, with the 2012 presidential election just six months away, it seems there’s little chance of any official resolution being reached before citizen’s cast their votes. However, this latest development again brings to the forefront the important question of just who is Barack Obama? Clearly, we know more about him now than we did when he was elected, but just as obvious is the fact that there is more to the man than the American public knows.

The lack of official documentation combined with the glaring inconsistencies of what sparse information there is, should raise serious questions in the mind of any citizen. Whether Republican or Democrat, any citizen that claims to hold America first, should demand full disclosure from Obama, and short of complete and consistent information, his role within the U.S. government should be put to an end.

It’s been pretty interesting watching the media attempt to push this information to the side, and instead focus on an unnamed “character witness” who claims that Zimmerman is racist.  While I still maintain my opinion that George Zimmerman never should have confronted Martin in the first place, I have yet to see any real physical evidence suggesting he was profiling Martin in any type of racial way.

This whole case is one big tragedy, for both parties.  It’s depressing that what should have been a municipal manslaughter case, has been turned in to the next Rodney King by our racist media.

Could Facebook Save Obama?

OK – so some people call me paranoid – but I thought to myself – is there a possible coincidence that at the very moment the economy is teetering into even more depression and chaos, Facebook decides to launch their IPO? This will likely give a much needed boost to both the market, and to California, which is in pretty bad shape. Sure, I haven’t looked into it in detail, but I bet that Zuckerberg COULD have delayed this IPO until after the election, or done it some time last year. Do you think that it might be possible that the reason this IPO is timed the way it is is to maximize any kind of positive economic impact for Obama prior to November? They are buds, after all. This is one of the reasons I try not to spend too much time on Facebook, who knows what kind of information that they are passing back to this administration?

Sorry but the timing of all this seems a bit fishy to me – and those of you who might know more about the whole IPO filing process could help me to understand – could they have weighted?

Plus, injecting a thousand plus new millionaires into California will likely be a pretty good boost to the economy. I wonder if I could profit off it somehow? Do you think they might be interested in my line of  ”I WORK AT FACEBOOK AND YOU DON’T, SUCKA” t-shirts? They are made from premium cotton in Facebook blue and white and only cost $3900.00 each.

“Transforming the global economy will require action locally (e.g., through land use planning), at the national level (e.g., through energy-use regulations) and at the international level (e.g., through technology diffusion),” the document says. It involves “profound changes in economic systems, in resource efficiency, in the composition of global demand, in production and consumption patterns and a major transformation in public policy-making.”

If you read between the lines you can see that the American way of life, already being dramatically altered by Agenda 21, will be further jeopardized. This is socialism on a global scale — take from those that have (Americans) and give to those that don’t.

FoxNews reported the following:

More than $2.1 trillion a year in wealth transfers from rich countries to poorer ones, in the name of fostering “green infrastructure, ”  “climate adaptation” and other “green economy” measures.

New carbon taxes for industrialized countries that could cost about $250 billion a year, or 0.6 percent of Gross Domestic Product, by 2020. Other environmental taxes are mentioned, but not specified.

Further unspecified price hikes that extend beyond fossil fuels to anything derived from agriculture, fisheries, forestry, or other kinds of land and water use, all of which would be radically reorganized. These cost changes would “contribute to a more level playing field between established, ‘brown’ technologies and newer, greener ones.”

Major global social spending programs, including a “social protection floor” and “social safety nets” for the world’s most vulnerable social groups  for reasons of “equity.”

The problem is, it’s a pipe-dream. There’s no such thing as utopia. It’s a fantasy, a myth promoted by those with an agenda and looking to be part of the power structure.

The long history of human government demonstrates socialism doesn’t work. When you split a meal designed for one among four people, you don’t bestow health on all, you create four malnourished individuals. Is that utopia? If you ask the four people I’ll bet they would answer no. The same principle applies to money. Strip the American middle-class of its cash and give the money to a third-world country. Do you end up with two rich countries? No. You end up with two down-trodden countries rather than one. You haven’t solved one country’s problem (lack of resources for example) but you’ve managed to run another one into the ground. But of course, if you’re part of the ruling elite, you don’t care because you and your family still get steak dinners, air conditioning and limousines. So you promote it anyway.

On June 9, 2011, an Executive Order issued by the supreme ruler established the White House Rural Council with 25 executive branch departments including Defense, Justice, Homeland Security, National Drug Control, Environmental Quality, Labor, Commerce, Interior, EPA, Housing, Health, Education. When you cut through all the public relations hype, it’s a power grab, allowing the government to step in and mess with rural folks lives. How so? Name it. If they’re farmers, the government can tell them what to grow, how much to grow, or set quotas for production and price. Plain country folks are subject to having their land and property confiscated, with or without compensation, so the government can use it for its’ purposes. It sounds a little like communist Russia doesn’t it? But so does large-scale wire-tapping, military units in the streets of cities and, legislation being wrestled with right now, having unmanned drones flying overhead.

It’s in America’s best interest as a country, and your best interest as an American citizen to fight against Agenda 21, global socialism and a one world government.

“At the end of the day, it’s the students who are hurt by this,” said Mike Hernon, vice president of advancement.

Unfortunately more than students at Franciscan University will feel the pain of Obama-care. Numerous other organizations have made similar announcements. Here’s a few more things related to Obama-care:

Earlier this year, buried within Obama’s budget proposal was a 30% increase in cost estimates for one part of Obama-care. Last year’s budget number was $367 billion — this year’s number is $478 billion.

The law set aside $5 billion for a Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plan, expecting participants to average $13,026 a year in costs based on projections during November, 2010. That projection has been revised up to $28,994 in medical costs.

About a year ago, House Energy and Commerce Committee investigators discovered a little-known provision in Obama-care that allowed the federal government to pay nearly $2 billion to unions and state public employee systems to subsidize health coverage costs for early retirees. Ultimately, this is just more tax-payer money being sent to government unions.

Businesses of 51 or more employees must provide in each of their facilities a private area (not a bathroom) for nursing mothers to pump breast milk for up to a year after giving birth. This means businesses have to re-design their existing facilities and absorb the costs associated with it. How many pregnant women or new mother’s can any employer truly have? Basically, the government is mandating businesses to have reserved space that by and large, will be unused and unproductive.

Tanning salons now have to charge a 10% excise tax on their services.

W-2s must now declare the value of health-care benefits. This means that W-2 forms (and related accounting software, etc.) will have to be re-designed to include the additional information. Costs associated with the conversion are unknown.

Job Buster!?

Is it just me, or is everyone just missing the point on this “job creation” thing. Can we all agree that GOVERNMENT does not create jobs? If we can, then can we also say that we don’t want whoever we hire to be President next time around should create jobs? They should just be aware of how jobs are created (exclusively by the private sector) and create the conditions for us to create the jobs.

We don’t need Romney to create government jobs. In fact, I’d hope that he’d bring in some of that job killing that he did in order to turn around private companies and fire some government workers. Or a lot of government workers. In fact, the more government workers he fires, the better. Those fired government workers can then move on to possibly become productive workers in the private sector, which will be booming once we start cutting taxes and regulations.

Remember, Romney would a) take over companies b) clean house, which may include firing workers, and c) turn that company around. In the process, some jobs were destroyed and other were created. This is what we need: government cleaned out. Ron Paul would probably do a better job than Romney, but at least he may do better than Obama

President Barack Obama is casting Mitt Romney as a greedy, job-killing corporate titan with little concern for the working class in a new, multi-pronged effort that seeks to undermine the central rationale for his Republican rival’s candidacy: his business credentials.

Ron Paul Who?

As  a Ron Paul supporter, I’m a little shocked but not too surprised that he has finally dropped out of the race. While the future of the movement started by Dr. Paul is in doubt, and the subject of future blog posts, its worth noting that I have not seen even a peep of recognition on the mainstream media that Ron Paul is out of the race.

No wonder most of us are starting to not give a damn about politics at all. When you stop banging your head against a brick wall, it feels good when you stop.

Ron Paul, the congressman from Texas and a favorite of tea partyers, effectively ended his presidential campaign Monday but urged his fervent supporters to continue working at the state party level to cause havoc for presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney.
