America R.I.P.

Today is a sad day for sure. It's the day that America has officially ceased to exist. Time of death? Monday, December 15, 2008 at 11:45am EST.

That is when news of the U.S. Supreme Court rejecting a second challenge to the presidency of Barack Obama was announced today, as it denied an application for a stay or an injunction in a case from Connecticut. It met the same fate as an earlier case brought by Leo Donofrio and essentially challenged Obama on the same issue: allegations that dual citizenship based on a father who was a British subject and a mother who was an American minor disqualified him for office under the U.S. Constitution's requirement that presidents be "natural born" citizens.

As is its custom, the Supreme Court made no comment other than to post its decision. The last shred of hope lies with the Electors who will officially cast their votes today, but don't hold your breath - the Constitution and our nation has just died - despite the fact that no law requires Electors to vote for the candidate who won the popular vote in their states, but it is extremely rare for any Elector to buck the popular will.

Ironically, this faithless nation will be looking far and wide for some "Faithless Electors" (as they're called; in 1948, 1956, 1960, 1968, 1972, 1976, 1988, 2000, and 2004 electoral votes were cast for someone other than the winner of the state election).


I say, why bother wasting everyone's time by having the Electors gather in their respective state capitals to cast their votes? I mean, who cares that it's mandated by the U.S. Constitution, right? Clearly, other mandates don't apply so just save a lot of time and money and be done with it.

I joke, but is it so far-fetched especially given the line of thinking behind these decisions by the SCOTUS, which essentially is to pick and choose the mandates that will be followed at will and political convenience?


AMERICA R.I.P.


Some would argue that our nation has already been on life support for many years and that this was simply us pulling the plug on the Great Experiment.

Make no mistake, the U.S. Constitution is meaningless now. Worse is the fact that a majority of Americans don't seem to care one bit. So, this is how a Republic dies? Not with a mighty roar and protest, but with barely a whisper and in some cases even applause?

And for what? Remember, we were not asking the U.S. Supreme Court or the Electors to deny the presidency to Barack Obama. We were merely asking them to require him to prove his eligibility. In the end, the request fell on deaf ears and now our nation will fall to pieces.

On the American Thinker website a few days ago, writer Randall Hoven took a shot at those who didn't want the question pursued. Hoven cited a David Horowitz analysis that said, "What difference does it make to the future of this country whether Obama was born on U.S. soil?"

Sadly, this is the all too common response I've heard from those I've tried to approach about this issue over the last several weeks. For those who do actually care about the issue, it was frustrating to see them respond with an attitude that any objection or protest would be futile so why even bother. It's moot now, but Hoven gives us the answer as to why this is serious business that should've concerned us all regardless of the side of the political aisle you find yourself standing on.

Hoven wrote, "When the U.S. Constitution is clear on a matter, we are not supposed to re-think 'what difference does it make to the future of this country.' If we do this re-thinking at every step, we would not need a Constitution; we would merely cogitate on how proposal X will affect our future. In short, no need for a Constitution."

He also cites a constitutional answer to the problem, quoting from the founding document; "If a president shall not have been chosen before the time fixed for the beginning of his term, or if the president elect shall have failed to qualify, then the vice president elect shall act as president until a president shall have qualified. If we find that Obama is not natural born, then the Constitution says Joe Biden shall be president until the president thing gets sorted out. Everything about that is horrible. Unfortunately, it is exactly what the Constitution says we shall do. It does not 'suggest'; it says 'shall,'" he wrote.

I guess we'll just have to see if that becomes a reality for this nation, but after today's events I highly doubt it.

He also tried to argue that the nation should be pursuing due process and due diligence. "That, in my mind, is what we should be doing rather ignoring the entire matter because it is so unpleasant. We should also not be rope-a-doping the legal situation just to push the issue past January 20, 2009. Simply address the issue in a straightforward legal and constitutional manner."

Contrary to what some Democrats might think, protecting the Constitution is not "garbage" in the least bit. The Obama campaign's response has always been an elitist, condescending slap in the face to patriotic Americans. There's no hope in an administration that fails to respond to the most simple requests from the people it is supposed to serve.

Besides, if it is "pure garbage" as suggested then why has the Obama campaign hired a crack team of three high-priced law firms? That's not three lawyers, but three law firms – that will use every means that money can buy to fight this action. What are they so worried about if these accusations are baseless?

Here's the bottom line: Team Obama presently has THREE LAW FIRMS at its disposal – and a seemingly unlimited ability to raise funds from the far-left for re-enforcements. Three law firms potentially translates to scores of attorneys and possibly hundreds of clerks who can literally throw paperwork at us until we crack under the sheer pressure and cry uncle.

Obama knows he is not "natural born" since he knows where he was born and he knows he was adopted in Indonesia. Obama is an Attorney, a Harvard Law grad who taught Constitutional Law. Obama knows his candidacy is the largest hoax attempted on the citizens of the United States in over 200 years. He places our Constitution in a crisis situation, and by doing so Obama is in a situation where he can be blackmailed by leaders around the world who know Obama is not qualified. Let's also not forget that anything he does as President will be scrutinized until these allegations are finally put to rest.

Why would he allow his administration to begin under that cloud of deception especially in light of the recent Chicago scandal involving the Illinois Governor? Why wouldn't he simply put this whole thing to rest once and for all? It is simple really. He thinks he is above the law.


The only thing they fear is you! They hope and pray that you will not support any of these efforts (especially now that the Electors have cast their votes) or that you will grow tired of the fight. Conversely, what they fear most is that you will join other patriotic Americans and support the movement to demand transparency, accountability, and justice.

Yet, we all know that there is nothing to fear, but fear itself. In a way, we all knew this day was coming, didn't we? Perhaps we just never thought we'd actually see it in our own lifetime.

One can only imagine what will come pouring through the floodgates now that they are wide open.


APPARENTLY, THE FACTS MEAN NOTHING


Barack Obama has ADMITTED he had dual citizenship at birth. This is not in question like his place of birth is. Even if Obama can prove that he was born on American soil, which he can't, he still is ineligible because of his dual citizenship. To understand more about this, I recommend the article "Stand By Me..." Leo Donofrio also wrote a very compelling essay at his website NaturalBornCitizen.

Once again, the Obama campaign has already admitted that Obama was subject to British Law at birth. This is not a conspiracy. This is not an allegation. This is a FACT. You can see it for yourself at FightTheSmears, which is Obama's own website. I'll save you the trouble so you can read it right here:

“When Barack Obama Jr. was born on Aug. 4, 1961, in Honolulu, Kenya was a British colony, still part of the United Kingdom’s dwindling empire. As a Kenyan native, Barack Obama Sr. was a British subject whose citizenship status was governed by The British Nationality Act of 1948. That same act governed the status of Obama Sr.'s children. Sen. Obama has neither renounced his U.S. citizenship nor sworn an oath of allegiance to Kenya, his Kenyan citizenship automatically expired on Aug. 4, 1982.”

Oh really? How does that work?

Barack Obama says that he was a British subject (as well as an American) when he was born, because that is what his father was. Remember, that is what Obama says himself. And a dual-citizen at birth – a citizen born with divided loyalties – cannot be natural born. He cannot be President.

Also, remember that Donofrio was not asking the Supreme Court to rule that Obama cannot be President. His petition simply asked that, since Obama’s eligibility has been seriously challenged, he be required to prove it. As many observers have noted, this should have been quite simple. Although everything about the man is secret – his college records, his law school records, his medical records, his client records and on and on and on – had he simply produced a non-forged, genuine birth certificate, his citizenship and all other questions would have disappeared.


A FRIGHTENING PRECEDENT


What principle has the High Court installed with this ruling? If a candidate for the presidency no longer must prove his eligibility under the law – the Constitution – then certainly no one else is required to prove his eligibility for any other government job. To whom more is granted, more is required. More is required of a candidate for President. If he is not required, certainly you are not either.

Until now, you needed to validate your resume to get a driver’s license or a library card, to qualify for Medicare, to work in the Post Office, etc. Now you don’t. The liars at the law schools will say this is poppycock. Ignore them. Wait for the lawsuits. Wait for the lawsuits from other illegal aliens like Obama, who maintain that they need prove nothing because Obama does not.
The Court once again, as it has so many times for so many years, has spit in the face of the U.S. Constitution. By invalidating the clear and crucial constitutional language about presidential eligibility, it has invalidated the Constitution itself, or at least tried to.

Look, I understand perfectly well the concept of submitting to the government's authority as instructed by God in His Holy Bible. I do. At the same time, the U.S. Constitution was a divinely inspired document; of that I am certain. We need to recognize that the Court has spit in our faces yet again. According to the U.S. Constitution - a divinely inspired document - we are superior to the Supreme Court, and that the only power it has is power we have delegated, power we could rescind and take back. Need I remind you that we are also superior to the President, to the Congress, indeed, to the Constitution itself, which we created under God's providential grace.

What does the future hold? To us students of prophecy who know the score and see what's happening, it all depends on what you mean by the word "future" because this latest non-ruling only confirms that our time here is that much shorter.

"And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draws near." Luke 21:28

Keep looking up indeed!

***UPDATE 12/17/08: AOL Poll Indicates The Nation Wants To Hear Obama Citizenship Case***

***UPDATE 12/17/08: Investigator Casts Doubt On Obama's Birth Residence - A private investigator has released to WND an affidavit that casts doubt on whether Barack Obama's family lived at the address listed in the published notice of his birth in 1961. Jorge Baro was hired by WND to investigate issues related to Obama's birth amid allegations the Democrat does not meet the Constitution's requirement that a president be a "natural born citizen." Baro's affidavit documents an interview his staff conducted with Beatrice Arakaki, who has lived at 6075 Kalanianaole Highway in Honolulu since before Obama was born. The affadivit is at the center of a federal lawsuit filed prior to the November election in Hattiesburg, Miss., before U.S. District Judge Keith Starrett. The suit is one of several yet to be adjudicated that calls for proof of Obama being a "natural born citizen" as required by the Constitution. Baro is the in-house senior investigator for Elite Legal Services, LLC, in Royal Palm Beach, Fla. Arakaki told Baro's investigators she had no recollection of Obama being born or of the family living next door having a black child born to a white mother. Baro's investigators were unable to locate any current or past resident of Kalanianaole Highway who could recall Obama or his family living at the address listed in the Sunday Advertiser announcement. According to Baro's affidavit, Beatrice Arakaki affirmed she was a neighbor of the address listed. She has lived at her current residence of 6075 Kalanianaole Highway from before 1961 to the present.
