Dear John,
Yep, that salutation means exactly what it implies, John…. We’re through! Actually, that took place four years ago, if not earlier, when the “Straight-Talk Express” decided to mimic Chris Matthews, and lob only amiable and anemic softballs at your presumed opponent, Barry Soetoro/Obama. And that’s precisely my point, John. We, the American People, wanted (and clearly needed and deserved) to know who this Junior Senator from Illinois, the Land – not of Lincoln, but of – Capone really was. Four years later, many still don’t…although it seems that I may have just summed it all up!
So, John, if you’re wondering “if it’s cold in here,” or “if it’s you?”…it’s plainly freezing, and everyone else in the room knows that “it ain’t us”! Meanwhile, your h-deprived namesake (and AZ Senate colleague, Jon Kyl), along with virtually every other Republican member of the United States Congress, has been AWOL on this matter of critical national security import from the beginning, and you of all people, John, should be acutely aware that that means something entirely different from simply being MIA. The latter can’t always be helped; the former most certainly can!
We’re at war, John, and I would have thought that given your background, you would recognize the fact. Has the hero of the Hanoi Hilton melted into a “sunshine patriot”? (That was Thomas Paine who said that, John – in case you’ve forgotten.)
What prompted me to officially inform you of our long-overdue break-up, John, was your most recent communication, to both me and apparently to many others. Here it is:
Dear Mr. Ballantyne:
Thank you for contacting me about the citizenship requirements for the office of President of the United States. I appreciate knowing your views on this issue. [Really, John?]
As you may know, Section 1 of Article Two of the United States Constitution sets forth the eligibility requirements for serving as President of the United States: “No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.”
Again, thank you for sharing your thoughts on this very important matter. Please feel free to contact me on this or any other issue of concern.
Sincerely,
John McCain – United States Senator
Really, John?
Once again, John, having very little knowledge of such things, I was surprised to hear that the whole matter of Barry (or Barack’s) identity/citizenship was actually addressed in the Constitution. Imagine my surprise upon learning that!
So what you, John, and that dusty old document you quoted from are suggesting is, what? That someone aspiring to the highest office in the Free (or not-so-free) World should be “natural-born”?
It occurs to me that since the FDA had not even remotely crossed the minds of men like Madison, Jay, and Hamilton, this archaic and quaint criterion must be referring to more than his now-highly-revered mother toughing it out in the delivery room – in either Kansas or Kenya…er, that is Honolulu! (Which hospital was it that was claiming him these days, John? It’s so hard to keep up with all the changes!)
Could it mean that his unwed parents – both his under-aged mom and his Kenyan-born British subject/citizen “father” could not possibly have bestowed citizenship – much less “natural-born” citizenship – on their illegitimate offspring? While I am loathe to repeat myself in referring to his unfortunate “illegitimacy,” John, is there anything about this phantom president which is, in fact, provably legitimate? I’m all ears, John, should you come across something…although I won’t refrain from drawing breath in the interim….
In any case, John, I know you’re not aware of it, as evidenced by your conspicuous absence at the March 31st Arpaio Press Conference in Sun City West – at which, had you attended, you could have addressed some 1,200 or more of your constituents. But the most widely-recognized Sheriff in all of America – who also, come to think of it, hails from your own “home” state of Arizona-has proven beyond doubt (reasonable or otherwise) that whoever the current occupant of the Oval Office is, or may be…wherever he was born…and whoever his parents may have been, the digital/virtual image that he has posted on his MySpace page is a cheap imitation, and proven forgery! (And, thanks to Mike Zullo and Sheriff Arpaio’s Cold-Case Posse, we can also say with certainty, the same regarding his Selective Service Registration – which alone makes him ineligible to serve in any federal capacity or office …but I digress!)
I truly hate to bring it up, but given his woeful inability to obtain even the lowest-level security clearance (an extreme difficulty when one can’t even pass E-Verify), our esteemed Commander in Chief would without question not qualify to work in Michelle’s celebrated White House vegetable garden – unless, of course, she too hires “undocumented workers”…but once again, I digress!
But getting back to my previous point; in spite of the vast array of irrefutable proof of multiple unprecedented forgeries, you, John, find the matter of the Constitutional eligibility of the Commander in Chief of the most powerful military on Earth, unworthy of comment…other than to reaffirm that you, like your aspiring young colleague, Jeff Flake, “believe” that he is a “citizen.” While you, of course, offer no rational basis for that “belief,” I seem to recall from your highly-informative letter that he must be “natural-born,” John…whatever that may mean!
In any case, John, isn’t this a little like continuing to “believe” that the Earth is, indeed, flat – even after Columbus has returned from his historic maiden voyage? Actually, it is, so by all means, go ahead and remain rooted in the clearly-fashionable ignorance of the past! After all, we no longer burn at the stake those who depart from the firmly-established orthodoxy of the elites, but whatever it is that the Ruling Class do to dissenters these days, it must be terrifying, John, to cow an old war hero like you. What could it be…banishment from the castle of the cultural elites? Is that it, John? Is that worth betraying your country and your oath of office, John, as well as your oath as a uniformed military officer?
Fortunately, all is not lost, John…as your highly-informed and courageous constituents nonetheless sail on, undeterred, and armed with the truth as irrefutably substantiated by Sheriff Joe and his Posse (along with a vast army of countless other citizen soldiers across this nation.) And we expect to reach America ourselves very soon – this time, all of it; as all but the most fervent zealots will soon be forced to acknowledge what everyone else in the room already knows but won’t admit-the all-but-blinding truth-that the Emperor in the People’s House has not even a stitch of clothes!
Signed:
Tom Ballantyne – A Once-Ardent Admirer (along with countless others!)
Author of Oh Really, O’Reilly! and Uncommon Sense…Apparently!

McCain is a FRAUD. I voted for him over obama but I never liked him. He’s a “hasbeen” and just another PUPPET of the Elite.
John,
QUIT before you’re OUTED!
Not only is he a fraud, but also a traitor to his country! His Vietman service was not as rightous as many believe and all who are interested should read U.S.Rep. Bill Hendon’s book, “An Enormous Crime”, which spells it all out. So you see he will continue to ride the backside of the fence for fear O’Bozo will out him. Chi-Town intimidation tactics are the ruling force today in Washington!
I forgot to mention that I also received the canned, asrrogant, sensless reply from McCain!
These Senators are to chicken to address and issue that may offend any of the black race. This President is a fraud and he know it and so do all the rest. If it were Bush he would have been gone a couple of years ago. Believe me this so call free press is becoming the USSR Politico. We need to stop buying papers all together for a couple of months and demand a fair and balanced News Paper.
Tea Party inquire
What you say?
I can’t believe John new the clause in the Constitution. Now abide by it for a change John. Do your job like your suppose to.
Congrats Tom, at least you got a reply. I wrote to the inept Orrin Hatch and never even got a reply, probably because he remembered my last letter to him that I hand delivered, telling him that he had become nothing more than a Ted Kennedy in sheep’s clothing. So much for honoring an oath uphold the Constitution. We are surrounded by impotent zombies created by a socialized education system and a media that is promoting our destruction. I fear that we are not far from a day when everything we hold dear will become a thing of the past and take bloodshed to regain it. Where are the George Washingtons when you need them.
Excellent letter, Tom! John McCain is not the only one that has ignored the truth about Obama in every respect. In this entire country, no one except Sheriff Arpaio has the guts to have Obama investigated. That’s hard to believe that the citizens of the U.S. are so weak or scared of Obama to do anything about his ineligibility to be President. What is going on? What have we become? There’s not one Senator or one Congressman or the FBI or the CIA that is willing to come forward to fight this illegal, corrupt, fraudulent person and arrest or impeach him or bring charges against him or anything. To top off the whole mess, half the country still thinks Obama is the greatest man on earth. They don’t mind living under a dictator spending money we don’t have, being taxed to death, having the IRS control our healthcare and becoming a country that the government has total say over every move we make. I’m horrified at what we have become!
Scarey stuff isn’t it? Be afraid, be VERY afraid. Did you hear on the national MSM that the next presidential vote will be counted by a company overseas? A Spanish company bought out the U.S. company that previously held the contract. I’m absolutely against any “company” doing the vote tally let alone a company in Spain! Let’s see Obama has reportedly billions in his campaign war chest. How much of that would it take to buy the result you wanted. P.S. the company was awarded the contract BY the Obama administration. Now, for the really good news. You also did not see on national MSM that Obama just signed an executive order that gives him (and any subsequent president) total control over every facet of civilian life. From farm equipment, to manufacturing capabilities, power, water, food distribution, to drafting public citizens to serve in a Homeland Security emergency response army. Are you scared yet? I am! We as a citizenry have been totally preempted. There really is no need to hold an election this November. The die has been cast and the Constitution has been usurped just like the Executive Branch of the United States. “Those who have eyes let them see. Those that have ears, let them hear.” Jesus
Just in case you think I’m making this up. Please read it yourself. http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2012/03/16/executive-order-national-defense-resources-preparedness
Anyone that thinks this is about national defense, look into a mirror and call the person that looks back a fool.
How funny! I too, have received the same BS boiler-plate response from John McCain’s office! My response to him was just as harsh. Congress including John Boehner, are completely silent about this whole scandal. Now, if this scandal involves a Republican President, the liberal press would be all over it. And, they would call for impeachment and brand that President as a traitor! But, just because Obama is being protected by the liberal media, there is complete silence! The truth needs to come out, and we Americans must do the job that Congress won’t do!
Considering we are alll receiving “the same BS boiler-plate responses from John McCain’s office”, perhaps it’s time to replace this Senator with somone who takes Arizona and our issues serious. I’ve yet to hear a response on my concern over the Executive Order the POTUS issued on Friday, Marich 16, 2012. This one is scarey, in that it enables Obama to declare martial law during peacetime. Does anyone know what we can do to arouse public attention or Congressional concern over this issue? I hope the Tea Party is able to complete the task of replacing all progressives and rinos with Constitutional Conservatives on November 6, 2012. If this latest Executive Order is allowed to stand, Obama may complete his fundamental change objectives!
to Tom Ballantyne Jr.: Great letter–when McCain reads it, and I’m sure he will, what do you suppose his comments will be? I get letters (boiler plate) from Feinstein and Boxer with about the same amount of thought in their creation. I’ve asked both senators why the cost of their senate offices is well over $4 million a year, whereas the vast majority are in the $2.5 million range….and I get replies much the same as John McCain sent you–probably written by the same person at Staples.
Anyhow, thanks at the effort to crack open the shell surrounding by far the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people, with only a handful of people willing to take the heat from the ‘perpers’…we may be ‘birthers’, but they’re the ‘perpers’.
This is a wonderful letter to an old RINO elite who can no longer be trusted with the Sovereignty of America! It’s hard to tell which side he’s on – but from all recent appearances, it’s the wrong side! John needs to be removed “sooner rather than later” and Ballantyne makes the case very well indeed! Isn’t it amazing how smart one becomes when elected to the United States Senate! But our Patriot Army is mobilizing — and just like with Obama, “we’ll be coming for all in our Congress who refuse to recognize and enforce ‘truth’ -and ‘honor our Constitution’! I’m with Ballantyne! Just keep pouring more water on Obama the Fake President, and the elitist rock!
I am a NATIVE Arizona ex pat, I have distrusted McCain for Decades. THANK YOU, Mr. Ballantyne for your undying efforts and those of your staff on my own, and behalf that of ALL Americans, who treasure Constitutional Liberty.
Further I wish to thank you for defying the powers that be, and reporting the truth which Joe Arpaio’s ‘Cold Case Posse’ has brought to light. Ya’ll are doing what no one I’ve formerly counted as brave media expositors, (Beck, Limbaugh, and so on), are willing to do.
I would also ask you to tell Sheriff Joe he has support all over the country, and THANK HIM. I want him to run for president….LOL!
Dear Mr McCain, I am an admirer of your past service to our nation, and thank you for what you and other in our military has gone thru, especially those who became POW’s such as you, but today is a new day, sir. Today we who deeply believe that this President does not and should not be the president of the USA. I say this not because you did not make it into the White House, but because you refuse to look at the evidence before you in all seriousness. Senator, I really do not understand why you doubt the evidence that professional police Investigator’s & professional Criminal Attorneys who took their own time, without pay from the American People, and went to Hawaii, not to prove that this President was guilty of a crime, but hoped that they would have proved that this President was legal, but unfortunately they found that he was guilty. Now, Mr Senator, could you tell me if you would do what those professional men did, by staying away from home for weeks on their own dime hoping to prove that this President was not lieing by saying he was legal, but then finding out that his Birth Certificate was falsified. In otherwards Tampered with very poorly at that. Sir, by not working with the american people and by not doing your job in this matter, you sir will have to pay the consequences for your non-action of not persuing this matter further.
Senator McCain’s reply was a stunning example of political elitism and hubris. Did he forget that he works for the people who elected him — and even for those who did not — and not the other way around? What a revelation of an inside-the-Beltway, condescending, political snob. John, we hardly know ye.
Well now, after the grueling elections and all the ass kissing etc, the Senator is no King and no longer has to worry for 3 more years and then start the ass kissing and lying again,. I wonder if this has anything to do with the Intelect of the voting sheeple
Thank You Tom Ballantyne for the excellent letter to Mr. McCain.
I deffinitely agree with you in all aspects of your letter! But I would also regard McCain in the same classification as Obama, Holder, and the vast majority of the Democrat Party; TRAITORS to the U.S.A. and every thing it stands for!!
Vietnam Vet 1962-1967
I sent the following message to Senators McCain’s Official website, got the customary reply acknowledgement – will never get a real answer. As Ross Perot said “it’s time to clean out the barn”. I’m plumb full of Washington D.C. platitudes and “feel good messages”. “WE THE PEOPLE” HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS SLACK-JAWED REPRESENTATION WE ARE SADDLED WITH, God bless Joe Arpaio.
THIS “ONCE GREAT NATION” TRULY HAS AN ARROGANT FELONIOUS FORGERER, ILLEGAL ALIEN, USERPER OCCUPYING THE WHITE HOUSE. WHAT IS CONGRESS GOING TO DO ABOUT THIS DISASTROUS SITUATION???

Man your a good dear john writer. Thanks again, I couldn’t have said it better. It’s a shame I really liked him. I respected him and now he is part of the problem. I would have never thought he would turn out like this. Bummer. A once great American has fallen. I wouldn’t piss on him if he was on fire now.
John McCain and the entire republican establishment ignoring Joe Arpaio’s investigation and I am outraged by their inability to defend the Constitution. It is funny to watch all the politicians when they are running for office they promise to the constituents they will take the oath to defend the constitution but the minute they get to the office they forgot about the promises they made. I am getting to the point to when just one mention of establishment makes me sick to my stomach. What happened to Republican Party? If they have no spines in their body to stand for what is right why should we stand by them?
Very good letter, once AGAIN mccain was the lesser of the two evils, and is totally a fraud, but at least you got a response that was regarding the problem, all I ever get is a benign letter that all it states if thank you for contacting my office, make sure you sign up for my email letters………………..
What a shame that our Washington representatives have all caved in to the Obama lies. My two senators and one representative claims that since the head muslin alien in charge showed a birth certificate he is eligible to be the leader of our country. It doesn’t matter that the birth certificate, selective service infomation and his social security number are all bogus. Where are these peoples brains. They swore to uphold the constitution and the people who elected them to represent them and they have all turned their backs on America. I would like to load them all up to deport them to another country and it would not hurt my feeling is the plane crashed in the middle of the ocean….
Our entire Congress (Senate and House) are traitors to this country. They swore an oath to defend the Constitution. They have allowed this fraud to occupy our White House with proving who he is and wht hisw credentials are. That was supposed to be done before he was allowed to run. Since he was allowed to get by with running and stole the election, (He actually had less actual ballot votes) he now should be removed from office for impersonating a legal citizen. he has lied to the American people, the Courts & the Congress. He threatens the press with IRS action against them if they even dare to report any negative stories about him. His goon squad has terrorized the public for speaking out against him. This is our right as an American Citizen with the freedom of speech. he has trampled our Constitution at every turn and laughs at the citizens while doing it. He knows there is no one in Congress or on the Supreme Court that will do anything to or about him. We have a pack of wolves running our country with every idea of devouring us as a country. Obamanation has and is dfoing all he can to turn us over to our enemies. He dilutes our military so badly that we will have difficulty defending our homeland if attacked. He has stolen jobs form the American people and sent them overseas. He has taxed corporation so much that they can’t afford to do business here at home. He has prevented companies from obtaining our own resources for power. he instead sets us up to be beholding to Muslim countries for fuel. We have enough fuel here at home for 100 years and are not allowed to go get it. He has tried to fill our Supreme Court with his cronies that will do only his bidding. He imposes laws that only apply to the populous, not the office of President or any elected officials. America, wake up to this presidential imposter. If given enough time, he will put an end to us as a free nation. He is working on being King without restriction. He cannot be allowed to continue. We cannot depend on our elected officials as they are now. We must clean our Congress and start again with real American Patriots. There should never be a President allowed to serve the office that has not served his country first. Our Tree of Liberty that we have taken so for granted is withering and dying. it is being poisoned by a foreigner serving as our President. His loyalties are not to us, they are to himself alone. REMOVE THE IMPOSTER. He should be imprisoned or deported without financial support from the public he has robbed. He should be forced to repay the country for any monies spent on his and his family’s behalf while illegally serving as it’s President. I respect the Office of President of The United States but not the fraud illegally squatting in it.
One of the best letters I have ever read. Thank you, thank you Tom Ballantyne Jr. You said what all of us out here wanted to say too. John McCain has left the sacred post of guardian of the people. I think his brain has been zapped.
Another great “Open Letter” Tom. Thank You! With as corrupt as all of these politicians have become though, I wonder if they even recognize the truth when it hits them right between their ears. McCain has had double standards for a very long time. Even the potus admits on youtube in one of his interviews, that McCain would not address his religion, amongst “other” things. I know McCain fought for our country, but I still do not count him as honorable. He has “2″ faces, and neither of them stand for justice, or the truth. The only thing we can count on from McCain, is he will happily join the forces of Socialism, if that time ever comes. And I pray it doesn’t.
~Take Care Our Good Friend~
And all the best to Sheriff Joe and his Cold Case Possee!
You gotta be fluking kidding!
I would have taken a dump, wiped my arse with it and sent it back to him.
If he is not a traitor, he is gone senile!
Great “Dear John letter, Tom. I received precisely the same response to my “ilegitimate POTUS” inquiry. Thereafter, I forwarded the following letter regarding the latest Obama Executive Order hazard:
On Friday evening, March 16, 2012, Barack Hussein Obama signed into existence “National Defense Resources Preparedness,” an Executive Order which enables the president possession of dictatorial powers over the nation and the American people whenever he wants to implement it. Some of the more important—and frightening—dictates of the Obama decree include::
1) The President can place the Order in effect whenever and for whatever reason he wishes.
2) The Executive Order makes it clear that the nation need not be at war or threatened with aggression to
be implemented. The Order specifically states activation may occur in peacetime.
3) All commerce, services materials and facilities may be commandeered by the President “as deemed
necessary or appropriate to promote the national defense…”
4) The entire economy will literally work under the President’s direction. He and his representatives will
also “control the general distribution of any material (including applicable services) to the civilian market.”
5) The President’s representatives will have authority to “encourage the exploration, development and
mining of strategic and critical material”, (including oil) after the President has become a dictator.
6) The President’s representatives have authority to take over privately owned companies, plants and
facilities, modify them, add or delete equipment and “authorize” production schedules
7) The Director of Selective Service and the Secretary of Defense will decide who will be inducted into the
armed forces and who will be deferred. The President will also control all civil transportation, all forms, supplies and suppliers of energy, farm equipment, all food, water and health resources; strategic and critical materials.
9) Also, emergency preparedness mandates of Obama’s Executive Order will be carried out according to
title VI of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief Act, facilitating creation of “temporary housing” facilities
for displaced persons, also known as FEMA camps.
As the American people consider what Obama has done, it is also necessary to ask why. Does he know or expect something the American public does not? And how will the enslavement of 300 million Americans better prepare the United States for the requirements of “national defense?” Perhaps this “Martial Law” declaration is the insurance Obama needs to win the 2012 general election. This may be the “Ace-in-the-hole” he needs to guarantee he never loses power before ample opportunity to complete his mission to “fundamentally change the USA”!.
If this condition prevails without Congressional resistance, why should anyone donate to either party?
Actually, we may already be toast?
