Let’s get a few things straight here. As much as we all loved Andrew Breitbart’s moxie, he, like virtually every other national Conservative who was or is a part of the “establishment” (read, those who have established themselves financially, and been acknowledged by their peers) had avoided the issue of the Constitutional eligibility of the president of the United States. Much like Sewanee, the University of the South, has avoided gridiron rematches with Texas, Tennessee, Texas A&M, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Auburn, LSU, and Ole Miss since beating all eight (along with four other schools) in their 12-0 1899 season. Far better to boast that they had once proved their mettle on the playing field than to have to do it again…in real time.
So, like the mythically-fearless Michelle Malkin, or the once-cocky and courageous Ann Coulter, the “Senior Staff” at Breitbart prefers to live off of past – and in their case, borrowed – glory. And, given their namesake’s own calculated denial of this historic issue, the youngsters at Breitbart apparently believe they can get away with it. But it’s tough trying to be all things to all people – especially when the views encompassed are diametrically opposed.
So here come the princes of political archeology – they can hardly be called monarchs in their own right – and they have a find…but it’s a sticky one. You see, the recognized king of sequestration, the billionaire financier of burying (not excavating) the past, has declared certain digs “off limits.” Those would be any that might uncover relics from the entombed past of the current Occupier-in-Chief. So…to disclose or not to disclose? Such a dilemma! The heady thrill of breaking a story of potentially enormous national interest, as well as consequence…but on an officially quarantined (and hermetically-sealed) topic…. How to proceed?
Ah, the obvious approach…to break the story, but make sure that the purse-strings-that-be know that you yourselves don’t take it seriously. Heaven forbid! Bittersweet, but what could be more important at this point than one’s Arianna-approved “intellectual” (press) credentials – even if such a notion is in its very essence oxymoronic…or, just plain moronic? So here we have it, in their own contortionist’s attempt at simultaneously claiming credit for, and dismissing, the obvious implications of a recently unearthed find:
Note from Senior Management:
Andrew Breitbart was never a “Birther,” and Breitbart News is a site that has never advocated the narrative of “Birtherism.” In fact, Andrew believed, as we do, that President Barack Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, on August 4, 1961.
Yet Andrew also believed that the complicit mainstream media had refused to examine President Obama’s ideological past, or the carefully crafted persona he and his advisers had constructed for him.
It is for that reason that we launched “The Vetting,” an ongoing series in which we explore the ideological background of President Obama (and other presidential candidates)–not to re-litigate 2008, but because ideas and actions have consequences.
It is also in that spirit that we discovered, and now present, the booklet described below–one that includes a marketing pitch for a forthcoming book by a then-young, otherwise unknown former president of the Harvard Law Review.
It is evidence–not of the President’s foreign origin, but that Barack Obama’s public persona has perhaps been presented differently at different times.
Wow! Where to begin…? Let’s start with disclaimer #1: “Andrew Breitbart was never a ‘Birther,’ and Breitbart News is a site that has never advocated the narrative of ‘Birtherism.’”
Reading this makes me want to ask in bemused wonder: How old are you? (I could, of course, ask the same question of Anderson Cooper, Bill O’Reilly, Mark Levine, Neal Boortz, or Glenn Beck – who are clearly much older to a man.) But seriously, how immature – or insecure, at least – must one be to be so concerned with what the cultural elites think of them? Young Ben Shapiro (twenty-eight, and reportedly the youngest nationally syndicated writer in the country) went to Harvard Law. One wonders if he had been president of the Law Review if we would have ever seen one of his publications…but I digress. Joel Pollak…sure enough, went to both Harvard and Harvard Law – just as I had expected.
While I must congratulate the two on emerging from that milieu with any non-collectivist values, it seems that neither of them escaped with a penchant for identifying and confronting the Alinsky staple of marginalization…or, they accept the practice so fully that they simply can’t bear the thought of being on the receiving end thereof. Well, grow up, boys! If what Media Matters says about you is a concern (and it clearly is), then perhaps you should choose another line of work.
(I recently observed with some pride that the highly-irrelevant New Times – I believe it was – a radical statist rag, no doubt printed in an abandoned warehouse somewhere near the ASU campus, had called me a “birther.” I wouldn’t have known it except that in checking up on the circulation of some recent video productions I stumbled across it. My point being that it made me laugh…not cry. Why would I – or anyone over the age of, say, thirteen – care? Short answer? He wouldn’t…that is, if he had any sense of his own self-worth; and I thought that was all they taught in school these days!)
So, the timorous teens immediately jump on the pejorative (and proverbial) bandwagon with “Birther” and “Birtherism.” What does that mean, Joel? Are you referring to those who not only profess to believe in the Constitution, but are actually willing to defend it? I suppose we should just cut to the chase then, and call John Jay “the original birther” – rather than Hillary supporter, Phillip Berg. (It was – they were – actually, Lawrence Turley and Gabriel Chin, two highly regarded law professors, from Georgetown and the University of Arizona, who originally raised the issue with respect to Senator John McCain with the full support of the national media…and without derision, just respectful awe for this serious Constitutional inquiry, which they said must be undertaken. According to Chin, nothing less than “the rule of law” was at stake! See Chapter 17: “The Final Word from Professors Turley and Chin,” in the newly-released Oh Really, O’Reilly! – Part I of II.)
Why John Jay? Because it was he who, in a letter penned to Constitutional Convention President George Washington, on July 25, 1787, queried: “Permit me to hint whether it would not be wise and seasonable to provide a strong check to the admission of foreigners into the administration of our national government ; and to declare expressly that the command in chief of the American army shall not be given to, nor devolve on any but a natural born citizen.” (Emphasis added.)
Or perhaps we should go back further still, to Emmerich de Vattel, the contemporary legal authority of the day, to ascertain the meaning of the phrase from which the more erudite term “birther” most assuredly derived. The Swiss diplomat was the author of Law of Nations, about which Benjamin Franklin (was he a “birther” as well?) said the following in a letter to Charles W. F. Dumas, the book’s publisher, in December, 1775:
“I am much obliged by the kind present you have made us of your edition of Vattel. It came to us in good season, when the circumstances of a rising state make it necessary frequently to consult the Law of Nations. Accordingly, that copy which I kept …has been continually in the hands of the members of our congress, now sitting, who are much pleased with your notes and preface, and have entertained a high and just esteem for their author.” (Emphasis added. The source of the quote is an excellent article on the superiority of Vattel over Blackstone and English Common Law as the predominant legal source of the writers of the Constitution, as Blackstone defines “natural-born citizen” or “natural-born subjects” of the King as any born within the British Empire. One immediately sees the motive for such a definition as it applied to “subjects,” in contrast with “citizens” who might one day command the military.)
“The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens….I say, that, in order to be of the country, it is necessary that a person be of a father who is a citizen; for if he be born there of a foreigner, it will be only the place of his birth, and not his country.”
So yes, it looks like we’ve found our man! Now that we have cleared up the auspicious origins of the tin-foil-hat terms “Birther” and “Birtherism,” so skillfully employed by the youthful Pollak and company (Breitbart’s “Senior Staff”), in distancing themselves from their own explosive find, I will finalize my analysis of their Houdini-like effort to extricate themselves from what appears (to them, at least) to be a certain and painful death.
In an excruciating attempt to continue the heralded “vetting,” while voluntarily confining themselves within the officially sanctioned limits of inquiry (which excludes anything and everything – of a factual or provable nature, at least – prior to his election, or, in other words, his entire life), the post-pubescent heirs to the Breitbart legacy submit to the Soros-inspired shackles with a willingness and zeal which can only give one pause….
They heroically chastise the “mainstream” media (once again displaying a mindlessness beyond my meager ability to comprehend) for “refus[ing] to examine President Obama’s ideological past, or the carefully crafted persona he and his advisers had constructed for him.”
Yep, his “ideological” past is somewhat fair game, but not his real past – things like where and when he was actually born; who his father really was (these things are a bit difficult to prove absent the same validating document that every American is required to have for that very legal purpose); how we actually got into three formidable universities (Occidental, Columbia, and Harvard) with obviously mediocre grades; and on what sort of scholarship? (For anyone who might suggest that his grades were anything but an embarrassment, is it even remotely plausible that the Narcissist-in-Chief would not have paraded them before the world if they were? No, it is not!)
And finally, what about “the carefully crafted persona he and his advisers had constructed for him.” Are those of us not so fortunate as to have gotten into Harvard via affirmative action (Mr. Obama could, of course, dispel that misguided notion – if it is such – by simply releasing his school records, as did his much-maligned predecessor) supposed to simply accept “on faith” that his “carefully crafted persona,” i.e., totally fabricated life story, somehow magically begins or ends with…what? I guess I just can’t grasp the new Breitbart.com “rules” for what we can and can’t “vet”! This is no doubt what passes for “nuance” at Harvard and other elite academic environs. That may be, but real Americans aren’t buying it!
And what about this scholarly summation of their preemptive disclaimer?
“It is evidence–not of the President’s foreign origin, but that Barack Obama’s public persona has perhaps been presented differently at different times.” (Emphasis added.)
Since the absurdity of this has been duly covered ad nauseum elsewhere, I will just conclude with the highlighted word “perhaps.” Perhaps…the aging “Senior Staff” at Breitbart (who have clearly not yet come of age) have engaged in a desperate game of “Please don’t throw [us] in the briar patch!” – except that they were regrettably serious – but in their feeble attempt at supplanting the truth, they can’t even do that with decisiveness. His “public persona has perhaps been presented differently at different times”?
How about this instead? His “public persona” is so ensconced, and has been so often sealed or falsified, that we know not with any certainty, where he was born; when he was born; who his father was; if his parents were ever married; why his Kindergarten Records are missing; what his real/legal name is (it was Barry Soetoro, among others, at various points in his life); if he ever reapplied for U.S. citizenship – which could or would make him a naturalized citizen, depending on his age at the time- (his Indonesian elementary school application lists his country/nationality as “Indonesia”); how he got into Occidental College, Columbia University, or Harvard; how he paid for it, or who paid for it; what his grades were at any of the three highly-exclusive schools; what he did while in the Illinois State Senate (those records are all inexplicably missing or have been destroyed); and, finally, why both he and First Lady Michelle Obama were required to surrender their law licenses (that isn’t done voluntarily, but is done in order to avoid further legal sanctions).
In summation, the Senior Staff at Breitbart.com has shown an inordinate insecurity and woeful inability to simply report the facts and allow their readers to decide for themselves what those might mean. So, given their essentially adolescent refusal to do so, here’s what their story clearly demonstrates: Barack Obama was either lying to us then – and the ruse continued for sixteen years, from 1991 to 2007 – or he has been lying to us throughout the five years since. Absent any kind of legal proof – and a widely discredited digital image on a website does more to suggest fraud than to dispel it – we have only the “public persona,” which we have all witnessed over the past four years, on which to rely. And his proclivity for misrepresenting the truth is so profound that one doubts that he has ever done otherwise!
Perhaps the most honest thing he has ever done is to not compare himself to our nation’s first President – the man known for never telling a lie! I say “perhaps,” only because I’m not entirely certain that he hasn’t – but the Obama night is still young…as are the Senior Staff at Breitbart.com!

standing applause! Since coming awake, couple years ago, I am continually dismayed and disillusioned by the media, most especially “conservative” mainstream media. Reading their continuing obfuscation of the truth, sickens me and makes me quite fearful for this country. But I continue to hope and work to do what I can to spread the truth… let those with eyes to see, let them see, to borrow a biblical quote. In my own corner of this once great country, the Obama fraud is widely known! Like an open secret, talked about on AM radio, acknowledged by community leaders, but yet the game plays on. True, many still have their blinders firmly in place, but more and more are awake, and a bit pissed off at what they’re seeing!
They had better get a LOT pissed off or we might wake up to four more disastrous years with Obama at the helm.
Bravo Tom!! Glad to see someone taking after these hypocrites. Been disgusted with them ever since Erick Erickson of RedState threw the ‘birthers’ under the bus with the ‘truthers’ a few years ago and asked those who those who didn’t think Obama was legally president to never come back, and I haven’t. Many of these so called conservatives have really painted themselves into a corner and will hopefully be exposed for what they are as more evidence is revealed.
Maybe the “Senior Staffers” at Breitbart are simply afraid of “having a sudden heart attack” after having a few drinks at a local bar. Or maybe they don’t want to be found in a Park, allegedly having committed suicide like Vince Foster. The forces that created the “persona” of Obama have gone to great links to do so, over a long period of time, and are not going to take kindly to his being exposed now, when he is in the process of carrying out their Saul Alinski agenda, now to the point of orchestrated Chaos in the Streets aka: “Occupy Wall Street” Plans for them to disrupt both Polictal Partie’s Conventions this summer are in full force, as well as the Recall Election of Scott Walker, which is nothing but Political Terrorism. Walker was duly elected by the people of Wisconsin, already beat the same Candidate running against him in the Recall. The Alinski followers just didn’t like it that they lost, and created chaos, Came up with a million signatures, probably many of whom have “passed on” or were not from Wisconsin. If they succeed with that, they can do the same thing in other states, and possibly even in the Presidential election! Rioting and Violence in the Streets, damage of Private property, rapes requiring the “President” to declare Martial Law, and perhaps “suspend” the Election. This is an International Movement, that is capable of anything to bring down the United States and destroy our Constitution.
The International CABAL is hard at work doing exactly what you suggest they are doing. I am very much afraid the globalists are much too powerful to challenge.
Bonnie: oh so true–everything you said.
I just read somewhere today that some ‘mole’ in DHS is saying that the Obama gang is planning to set a white supremacist up to fake an assassination attempt on Barry Whosane, after or during a series of riots by Occupy/Anarchist/Communist children in every major city. This is to allow for martial law and the cancelling of the election. It’s is gonna be a long, hot summer folks…get ready–for anything.
Excellent! Finally an author who doesn’t make me feel like i am living in bizarro world where truth are lies and lies are truth. By the way, could someone tell me where the absurdity of assuming that he was lying about being born in Kenya has been covered? This is the first time i have seen anyone talking any sense other than comment boards
Hi, Everyone. Thanks for chiming in. Here is the quote from Emmerich de Vattel, which I failed to include in the piece: I modified the paragraphs before and after as well, so here they are: (This should be updated in the actual piece shortly, but for any who have commented thus far, and may be getting notices of further comments, here is the correction.)
“I am much obliged by the kind present you have made us of your edition of Vattel. It came to us in good season, when the circumstances of a rising state make it necessary frequently to consult the Law of Nations. Accordingly, that copy which I kept …has been continually in the hands of the members of our congress, now sitting, who are much pleased with your notes and preface, and have entertained a high and just esteem for their author.” (Emphasis added. The source of the quote is an excellent article on the superiority of Vattel over Blackstone and English Common Law as the predominant legal source of the writers of the Constitution, as Blackstone defines “natural-born citizen” or “natural-born subjects” of the King as any born within the British Empire. One immediately sees the motive for such a definition as it applied to “subjects,” in contrast with “citizens” who might one day command the military.)
Wrote Vattel:
“The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens….I say, that, in order to be of the country, it is necessary that a person be of a father who is a citizen; for if he be born there of a foreigner, it will be only the place of his birth, and not his country.”
So yes, it looks like we’ve found our man! Now that we have cleared up the auspicious origins of the tin-foil-hat terms “Birther” and “Birtherism,” so skillfully employed by the youthful Pollak and company (Breitbart’s “Senior Staff”), in distancing themselves from their own explosive find, I will finalize my analysis of their Houdini-like effort to extricate themselves from what appears (to them, at least) to be both certain and painful death!
Tom Ballantyne – Author of Oh Really, O’Reilly! “The Spin Starts Here…Apparently!”
I agree with what you say but I understand how very dangerous it is to put not just yourself in danger, but your family members in harm’s way, and they would be if they spilled the whole pot of beans about ‘Obama’.
It’s very likely that Breitbart was whacked by an Obama operative. Many of the people who work at Breitbart have wives, husbands and children. Bill Clinton’s, (the original ‘birther’) ‘daughter’s’ life was threatened. Even Savage warns about going too far with this info…and you ask: how far is too far? I understand your frustration and rage. I feel it too, every moment of every day.
I also agree wholeheartedly with your assertion that Vattel is the go-to guy on what it is to be a NBC—however, Barry could also be a NBC, because his real father could easily have been Frank Marshall Davis. (I’m sure you compared pictures.) This lie (that he’s an Obama) traps him into the forgery(s) of the (short and) long form birth certificate, which his little girl lawyer has admitted is not authentic and having to run interference on the bio that says he was born in Kenya.
So many people don’t give a hoot where he was born, but if it’s revealed that he lied about his birthplace for book sales or popularity, that puts him in a bad light and it looks to me that he’s had weeks of bad lighting.
Bottom line: No matter where he was born or who was his daddy, Barry is an anti-American, neo-Marxist; that explains why he’s determined to “fundamentally transform America”. We must stop him at the ballot box, if not before, because we may not be given the ‘privilege’ of a free election in November.
Tom your opinion is fine but why is this web site running these treasonous ads? Someone needs to speak up. Will it be you?
STOP THE ADS AND POLLS FOR VP THAT INCLUDE RUBIO AND JINDAL NOW!
I find it really hypocritical that I look over here to my right on this page and WCT like all the other sites (WND, ORYR/BIRTHERREPORT, and others) helping to fight the birther battle seem to be running a lot of Pick the VP polls, like this WCT poll as ads. Why would you shoot this fight in the back by allowing statistics to be gathered allowing the RNC and establishment republicans to derive information as to our sincerity? If people from this and other sites choose a Marco Rubio or Bobby Jindal, both who are not ELIGIBLE it’s going to give ammunition to the charge that we never cared about the Constitution, never cared about Natural Born, that in fact we’re just hypocrits and that proves we’ve been racists all along. This polling is despicable and those sites that do it for ad dollars hurt the cause and mock themselves. Look people our fact finders and web sites are cheating us. This will surely be info used to damn us if Rubio/Jindal ends up on the VP ticket. Don’t doubt me we’ll be called racists and the Democrats will I promise you say. that Rubio/Jindal are not eligible. They did it about McCain (also not eligible) and believe me if you think Obama won’t suspend or invalidate the election to keep office…Oboy. These polls must stop on these sites. They are betrayals. Most are for money. These polls cause these sites to mock themselves for money. These polls mock us.Why would the Republicans pick the sites of the hated ‘birthers’ to gather this info for any other reason except to gather negative numbers that undermine us? That give them the proof maybe that they can pick a Rubio. Why would these sites be complicit in promoting Rubio or Jindal? Money or stupidity take your choice. It pisses me of. How about you?
Great letter Tom, it’s unfortunate that so many American’s are either un-imformed or they are so wrapped up trying to survive they have no real idea what’s going on in this country. I have approached many individuals in my gym and asked them a simple question that most American’s should be aware of as to current events and I have found that few if any really have a clue. I then asks them if they tend to vote in the general elections and when they say as most do that they do, I tell them that they should not vote since they are clueless as to whom they are voting for or just as important what they are voting for. It’s a sad state of affairs and I do not see it getting any better any time soon.
I agree Harleyguy. I don’t know what angers me more , Obama or the ignorant populace. People are just going around in their little bubbles totally oblivious to the fact that this country is ready to fall off a cliff. I think there should be some sort of litmus test to vote. For one if you are getting any kind of welfare, public assistance other than social security if you are over 65, you should not be able to vote. For another, people should have some idea about current events. Good for you for telling these people that they shouldn’t vote
You’re right. It won’t get any better any time soon. The die is cast.
As an AZ resident, I am so happy, Tom, to see your comments on the media and our treasonous elected officials–especially Rep. Jeff Flake who is campaigning for retiring Sen. John Kyl’s seat.
In case readers are unaware, AZ Secretary of State, Ken Bennett says he received a “Verification of Birth” from Hawaii late yesterday. The Verification claims to confirm a BC is on file in Hawaii and the information previously submitted by SOS Bennett is correct. The Verification can be viewed on KFYI.com. It appears to be an e-mail confirmation without a State of Hawaii Seal and with a suspect signature (from my point of view.) So now SOS Bennett is satisfied that Obama can appear on the AZ ballot and the ‘matter is closed. However, without being a certified copy of a legal document, it can’t be considered legal proof.
The fact that is doesn’t begin to legally prove Hawaii (and U.S.) citizenship, and of course can’t prove eligibility for this declared ‘dual-citizen-at-birth child, is immaterial to Arizona’s elected Secretary of State who took an Oath of Office to support the Constitution. Once again, we, the People, are being screwed by our elected representatives to government.
And it will always be so. The human race is hard wired that way.
That should not surprise anyone. After all, Bennett is both lawyer and politician, a deadly duo.
All of what Breitbart exposes is important bjut the simple expanation is the best — my physics education takes over.
lets explore the evidence:
1. He was born to an american woman — probably in Hawaii; however the second part of the requirement may not be met “subject to the jurisdiction…”
2. Obama used “born in Kenya” many times for some purpuse — has to be to gain an advantage.
3. obama uses composites of people — including himself (see dreams of my father)
4. Obama’s idealogy is not from Rev. Wright but Jesse jackson (see the book the Amatuer)
% Student Loans
Jobs and Economic Empowerment
Employee Rights and Livable Wages
Educational Access
Fair and Decent Housing
Voter Registration and Civic Education
Election Law Reform
Fairness in the Media, Sports, and Criminal Justice System
Political Empowerment
Trade and Foreign Policy
Affirmative Action and Equal Rights
Gender Equality
Environmental Justice
5. Obama’s foriegn policy is pro isalmists (see libyan operation, Iraq and afghanistan, egypt, etc)
6 Eric Holder is implementing most of the above agenda in subtely ways
7. Obama uses fraudently photos (see situation room photos and birth certificate) to show a personna he wants everyone to see
8. Obama is the President. The republicans have the house and are afaird to take action. the democrats have the senate and are bidding their time and giving as much as possible to the president. ergo a divided government with zero checks on his presidency — he knows it and is not hesitate to exploit it.
9. The news media believes in the liberal/progressive idealogy and just like the 1920′s/1930′s will not see the evil it brings until it is too late — ask the Germans!
In conclusion Obama is what he is a progressive that believes he has a a divine mission to remake this country . we have to re-take the senate and hold the house to checkmate his assumption of power. Until the house and senate has the grit to take action we all are just venting our frustration and nothing will be done.
Obama will win re-election with at least 294 electoral votes
I hope to God you are wrong !!!
Oh, no he will not win re-election! I don’t believe it for a minute. Several reasons, first the elites/globalists who installed him are realizing their fraud is falling apart. They will back off, and try to implement their tyranny through Romney. BTW I will vote heartily for Romney, even though I’m not sure I trust him, but I know that obama is a complete fraud and a communist working to destroy this country. And the fact that you state he will win leads me to two ideas about you: You are a victim of the PsyOps implemented by the Dems/Progs who want us all to think “we can’t defeat him” OR you are not really on this side of exposing obama at all. I don’t mean this as a personal attack, I hope your intentions are good, but we cannot survive as a country if we do not expose him and defeat him. Also, I sincerely believe that alot of powerful Repubs, military officers are sitting back and letting the election process work, knowing that if he somehow DOES win/steal this election, they Will expose him. Because if not, we are done.
BRAVO. I noticed this maybe about a week after Andrew died.
They are blowing with the wind. If Breitbart was not a believer in the fraudulent birth certificate, then why all the communications with Sheriff Joe. Do they think that we read these articles and think, “Oh me, I must have read that other article incorrectly”. “Oh me, I am just not as smart as they all are”. The truth of the matter is that we did not major in journalism. And we remember everything. I believe after we get Romney in office, Breitbart.com may even dismantle.
Andrew Breitbart was driven by faith in God, the country,his family and his fellow countrymen. These writers seem to be word manipulating machines driven by their paychecks.
These are just my thoughts over the past month.
I’ve been watching “midsomer murders” on netflix this week just to get away from all this mess for an hour a day. In one of the episodes with John Nettles, their was a death at a gathering in one of the villages. The lady involved drank wine and then turned bright red and killed over. Do you think the young man Christopher was being truthful with his description of Andrew’s last minute on earth. The lady was poisoned with arsenic. It may be better to keep this sort of news from us, i am just suspicious.
A masterpiece, Tom! Shapiro and Pollack are perfect examples of what happens when young Harvard (Ivy League) lawyers venture into professional journalism and “can’t find their you know whats with both hands”! Both of these guys need to just quit wasting words and “tell the truth”! You either have the guts – or you don’t, but this phony little game of “hide the truth” just won’t wash when it comes the story of the biggest fraudster in American History! Disclaimers are for cowards – and in the real marketplace, cowardly journalism usually leads to financial failure! Ballantyne strikes again!
NaturalBoredCitizen,
Hi. Joseph Farah explained this in an article at WND last week. He (and probably Floyd Brown here at WCJ) don’t want to censure different perspectives. I would keep any kind of salacious material off or my site (and do), but Joseph points out that, say, the Huffington Post or Media Matters, et al., probably do just what you’re suggesting, and he can’t condemn them while doing the same thing.
As for Marco Rubio, I’ve stated that if the Republicans were actually so defiant (or ignorant) of the Constitution as to nominate him, I would not vote. I defend that because if the Constitution means nothing to the entire Republican Party (or its leadership and a significant portion), then we need to suffer the effects of such mindlessness. I don’t believe they will nominate Rubio, but frankly it has nothing to do with his being Constitutionally ineligible – just a political calculation. My own belief is that the Republican Party will not survive much longer. Right here in AZ, EVERY elected Republican Leader in the State is blatantly ignoring the Arpaio Investigation. They are all cowards and willfully uniformed, and they are in lockstep with the “leadership” (the opposite thereof, actually) in DC. I will never vote Democrat, obviously, but have no use for those who pretend to align themselves with the Constitution, while refusing to defend it.
Tom Ballantyne
Right-On Tom From AZ And God Bless Andrew Breitbart And Sheriff Joe Arpaio. I Also Live In AZ And Can Verify That Both Andrew And Sheriff Joe Have Something That Most Elected Officals Do Not Show After They Get Elected, Yikeess, Number One Is “Guts” Plus They Tell The Truth. Anyone In A Church With Pastor Jermiah Wrong Or Wright Is A “Flake” And The Only Thing They Could Do Is Sell “Chevy Volts” !!! Yikeess, Chi-Town Politics, Tell Them Anything, Like All Car Saleman Barry Soetoro. God Bless Andrew Breitbart And Rest In Peace.
