Blue Hawaii & Birth Certificate Blues

An article on the American Thinker blog alleges that a friend of Hawaii's Governor said he couldn't find a birth certificate on record for a one Barack Obama. It's a secondary source, yet has convinced many. Now, even Chris Matthews is harping on Obama to show the document in an official way.

Many believe Obama has shown his birth certificate, but what he has shown is a certificate of live birth (COLB), and while such document suffices for Hawaiian citizenship, it does not necessarily prove one was born on US soil (or in Hawaii), since COLBs were given out rather liberally during the early years of Hawaii as a state, even to children not born in Hawaii. Moreover, the COLB may have been fabricated. Regardless, it appears to be a rather elusive document, as nobody has seen it in person.

Moreover, legal experts allege that the US laws that were active when Obama was born would have made Obama's mother too young to pass on citizenship to him if she did not have him in the US. Many calls for Obama to reveal his original long form birth certificate, and court cases to this effect, have all been ignored or stuck down. The supreme court has rejected hearing at least one birth certificate case.

There has been a long list of allegations, including one election clerk saying that everybody knew Obama had no birth cert., to Orly Taitz saying that Obama has used multiple Social Security numbers.

One Hawaiian official has stated that Obama's documents all check out, but they have offered no specifics or proof for these statements.

Yet, the state of Arizona may mandate that in order to get on its ballot for president, one must prove natural born status. Now, even Chris Matthews and a columnist for the liberal magazine Mother Jones both say they want Obama to show the original document, at 6:45 through the video below.


UPDATE 5-20-11 Now that Obama has shown an original long-form birth certificate, most questions surrounding his birth have faded. Some believe it might be a fake. But even if it is, at least Obama has put forth the effort to lie... Regardless, the birth certificate controversy seems like a rabbit hole to avoid falling into.

"Snow Shovel Ready"

A poem dedicated to Santa Keynes' idea that refilling a ditch can be an economic good.

There's economic stimuli
Falling from the sky!
It's white and fluffy
and better than dirty stuff
It's totally shovel ready
but not quite so heavy!

Communist Infiltration via ACLU

Strange de-classified documents claim several early ACLU leaders of the 1920s and 30s were Communists in cahoots with the Reds.

The EU is a Grinch

[The EU's] daily planners, of which three million have been produced (courtesy of the taxpayer), include the holidays of Jews, Muslims, Sikhs and Hindus, but there is not one mention of Christian holidays...

Networks: Merry Anti-Christmas

The Culture & Media Institute has released a story called "Christmas Without Christ" that chronicles TV networks' aversion to mention of religious aspects of Christmas. Reportedly, "just seven stories out of 527 (1.3 percent) mentioned the deity in two years of network evening news coverage." The easy explanation for this may be that secular Jews are prevalent in TV broadcasting, and the thought that Christmas has religious meaning for Christian gentiles may never occur to them, or they may simply not think of a religious Christmas as being newsworthy for a general audience.

But let's try to figure out what the percentage of stories that mention religious Christmas things should be.

Even among religious types, non-religious aspects of Christmas are important: things like food, decorations, lights, travel, relatives, santa, and most of all for little kids: PRESENTS. Nevertheless, churches across the nation stage yearly nativity plays, and various churches have their respective Christmas traditions such as midnight Mass, carols, advent wreathes, and in more historic times, processions. It is obvious that more than 1.3% of Americans include God as part of their Christmas traditions.

If only 1.3% of stories even mention God, many of these may be brief references, so the actual amount of time spent on God or religious Christmas elements may be even more minuscule. Regardless, it seems the networks are not concerned with drawing religious Christians to their viewership.

It's Been That Kind of Year

The Vikings team seems to have caved in this year too.


Many Vikings fans direct their discontent toward now-fired coach Brad "Chilly" Childress. But for Favre fans, being totally mad at Childress may be somewhat hypocritical since Childress is ultimately the reason Favre came to Minnesota both purposefully and incidentally. Childress purposefully lobbied for Brett to come to Minnesota, and he also incidentally hired Favre's buddy & former QB coach Darrelle Bevell as offensive coordinator in 2006, who subsequently in 2009 attracted Brett to Minnesota.

But obviously there are reasons to be mad at Childress, not the least of which is the Randy Moss firing.

As for Brett, this may be his worst nightmare of a year ever, it being marred with injuries and scandal. The injuries make him look physically weak on the field, and the scandal with the Jets employee sort of makes him seem morally weak.

In all honesty, however, the Jets are also culpable for needlessly exposing the players to scantily-clad women.

On Women

As to where women belong in football, they have traditionally been relegated to cheerleader. Yet, increasingly, they can be seen serving as sideline & lockerroom reporters. They fail at both because:

1. They don't have the game experience to be able to ask relevant questions (such as would former players Tony Siragusa or Eric Dickerson).
2. Players don't like women looking at them when they're naked in the locker room. That idiot NFL commissioner Roger Goodell should have stood up for Clinton Portis when he took flak for complaining of a Feminine lockerroom presence.
3. Nothing would be lost by not having female reporters from an affirmative action standpoint because, on the net, cute female reporters dominate broadcasting. Nothing would be lost from an entertainment standpoint because nobody watches football to see attracive female reporters but rather to see big hits, great runs, prolific catches, and victory for a favorite team.
