Chris Matthews Apparently Obama Does Not Long Enough Birth Certificate

Birth Certificate Update

Matthews "Size Matters." 

Grab Picture If You Want It

If Teabagger Chris Matthews is not stressing over Michele Bachmann, he is trying to convince himself that is ok to become the President of the United States without a birth certificate.

Undoubtedly, these are the two issues that are worrying him the most.

Moonbat Gov. "Suggests controversy could hurt president's re-election chances"

You can bet that this is going to numb the tingle in Chris Matthew's leg. Despite all of the birther ad hominem from Hardball, and Matthews trying to pass Obama's certificate of live birth as an actual birth certificate, the document remains elusive. WND reports that the birther hating Governor of Hawaii has conceded that the fact is Obama's birth certificate does not exist.

Matthews Trying To Pass Off  The Certificate Of Live Birth Copy As An Actual Birth Certificate

Hawaii Gov. Neil Abercrombie suggested in an interview published today that a long-form, hospital-generated birth certificate for Barack Obama may not exist within the vital records maintained by the Hawaii Department of Health.


Abercrombie told the Honolulu Star Advertiser he was searching within the Hawaii Department of Health to find definitive vital records that would prove Obama was born in Hawaii, because the continuing eligibility controversy could hurt the president's chances of re-election in 2012...Read More

TOM DELAY Where is the birth certificate -- Is a news paper article a legal document?

Update

Now Chris's Ass Is Hanging Out

Here we go again with Chris Matthews trying to make Obama's birth certificate the equivalent of the Emperor's New Clothes. If you don't see that he is a citizen, even with no legal document to prove it, you are an idiot.

I don't know where he was born, but I know that I have a birth certificate, I can tell you who delivered me, and I can tell you what hospital I was born in. I would be glad to show you the original document.

How about you?

It is beyond stupid for Matthews to keep saying that the only reason a mother -- with a foreign born kid -- might have for faking a baby's US citizenship, would be because it might later become President. 

I would if I thought it might get my kid American rights and benefits.

Here is another video with Chris Matthews arguing with himself of the birth certificate. First he holds up the certificate of live birth, and tries to pass it off as the original document, and then later he is wanting to know why Obama just don't release it.

Which is it Chris? Was you lying when you was holding it up the first time, or are you lying now?

Rush Limbaugh - Federal Judge Rules Obamacare Unconstitutional

NM State of the State Reminds Me

New Mexico Governor Susana Martinez (R-NM) gave her first State of the State address on January 18, 2011. Not the perfect speaker, she pitched the positive and appeared practically presidential. Sounding a little like no one I've ever heard, her talk rang true. Inspiring, non-partisan, and motivational, she framed the issues and said laid a foundation to fix the state’s problems with examples and specific solutions. That, my friends, is what we call Reagan-esque!

Reminiscent of someone we haven’t heard in years, and out of left field, she shocked me by saying she'd cut the state's film subsidy from 25 to 15 percent. What? But then she explained, "When a film is made in the state, New Mexico taxpayers cover 25 percent of the costs." She also said, "I support the film industry and support maintaining the incentive at 15 percent. But in these tough times, when New Mexicans are facing an historic budget deficit, I cannot support subsidizing the expense of Hollywood by cutting programs like child care services for working moms." Nice to hear, right?

Governor Martinez also said, "Unfortunately, some are still pushing tax hikes: Doubling the tax when you buy a car. Taxing job creators. Even taxing the Internet. To make them sound better, some call them 'revenue enhancements.' They can be called many things but they will all be vetoed." I found this statement refreshing, but we have the right to be cynical. We’ve heard this one before. Let's see how she handles the power of the veto pen.

To help address her state's deficit, she spoke about cutting costs "by reducing the governor’s budget. I cut overall salaries within my cabinet by 10 percent. I will reduce the number of political appointees in state government by at least 20 percent." The Governor then widened some eyes when she offered to "cut costs at the Governor’s residence by 55 percent – permanently eliminating the positions of two personal chefs." She added, "The First Gentleman will just have to help out with the cooking." Unfortunately, she flubbed the line, saying it in a way that made me think of the first personal chef! I have to admit I didn’t get it until I read it.

Remember how Nancy Pelosi, when she was Speaker of the House, demanded the use of a large, private jet at the federal government's expense? Well Gov. Martinez said in her State of the State that she "will get rid of that ultimate symbol of waste and excess, we will sell the state’s luxury jet." The Governor of New Mexico is a politician who seems to be aware of what's going on. Her address can be read and heard at: Gov. Martinez' first NM State of the State Address I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

The Snarky Files - Euripides' Views on the Week (02/01/11)

The Snarky Files. Snarky means several things. I prefer the definition of "sharply critical." Here's my take on some news stories this past week. No real news here, just snark.

What? Seriously. What?
California's incoming Governor Jerry Brown in his State of the State address made the following statement:

When democratic ideals and calls for the right to vote are stirring the imagination of young people in Egypt and Tunisia and other parts of the world, we in California can’t say now is the time to block a vote of the people. (LA Times Blogs)

Is Governor Brown comparing the rioting in Tunisia and Egypt to the stirring of the democratic process? I suppose if he has his way, when the citizens of California take to the streets in riots, he'll be able to say "Mission Accomplished."

Is this also the same Brown who, when blocking the vote of the people of California in passing Proposition 8, refused to defend the law as California's Attorney General?

Global Warming
Al Gore keeps spreading his global warming doctrine. According to his ideology, any climate change verifies global warming with absolute certainty:

A rise in global temperature can create all sorts of havoc, ranging from hotter dry spells to colder winters, along with increasingly violent storms, flooding, forest fires and loss of endangered species. (Al Gore Blog)

It's completely obvious to anyone except climate change ideologues that they can blame any kind of weather on man-made global warming and still be perfectly consistent. Of course, if we go back to the 1970s, all the same hysterical predictions were made about global cooling. (Wikipedia) Meanwhile, the climate changes while the ideologues stay the same.

The Feeling's Mutual
Egyptian President Mubarak stated today that he won't run for another term as president. (NY Times)

In other news, Mubarak called President Barack Obama and suggested that he should follow his lead and also not run for another term as president.

Unconstitutional Healthcare
US District Court Judge Roger Vinson ruled that the Healthcare mandate for Americans to purchase healthcare insurance was unconstitutional and therefore the entire law must be declared void. (WSJ)

As part of Judge Vinson's ruling, he pulled out this gem: "If a mandate was the solution, we can try that to solve homelessness by mandating everybody to buy a house." (Washington Times)

The source of this dissenting view of the healthcare mandate? Barack Obama, of course, in an election debate with Hillary Clinton.

Flip Flopping Leftists
In responding to Judge Vinson's ruling, defenders of Obamacare all took pretty much the same position. Here's a sample:

"We don't believe this kind of judicial activism will be upheld and we are confident that the Affordable Care Act will ultimately be declared constitutional," Assistant to the President Stephanie Cutter said in White House blog post. (Bellingham Herald)

In a decision that constitutes radical judicial activism run amok, Judge Vinson declared the "individual mandate" portion of the Affordable Care Act unconstitutional. (Huffington Post)

The judge's ruling, like the rulings in similar lawsuits in Virginia and Michigan, is sure to excite commentary about the proper role of judges in our society. And tragically little of that commentary will actually involve an honest debate about either the Constitution or the important role judges play in enforcing it. (Huffington Post)

He then took the opportunity to insert his political philosophy into public policy, striking down the entire law! This decision flies in the face of fourteen other decisions, contradicts decades of legal precedent, and could jeopardize families' health care security. And to make matters worse, this is the very kind of judicial activism that most conservative justices and politicians have argued against for years. (Huffington Post)

The bottom line is this case, from our perspective, is and always will be about the law and not about the judge who decides it.... The appellate courts are going to focus on the law. (Huffington Post)

Oh. Wait. That last one was a leftist praising the decisions of activist Judge Vaughn Walker when he ruled in favor of the leftist position favoring same sex marriage. Of course, judges are only activist when leftists disagree with their position.

Or, perhaps, judges aren't the bastion of measured thought and opinion that we seem to think they are? Which is it, oh Ye Defenders of American Social Justice? Do judges act in their own interests or don't they?

Aren't They the Bad Guys?
Wikileaks released documents showing that three suspected terrorists involved with the 9/11 destruction of the World Trade Center and the Pentagon are still at large. (Telegraph) In addition, the documents seem to reveal a plot to use nuclear materials to manufacture and set off a nuclear "dirty" bomb.

Wasn't Wikileaks supposed to be the Bad Guy? I guess if you're pretending to be a news agency, like The New York Times (a former newspaper), anything Wikileaks produces is underhanded and suspect.

If Patriotism Had A Report Card.

I don’t think we’d need a graduated grading system say, for instance, ‘C’ for Champion and on the opposite end, ‘T’ for Traitor. Look at all the fun we could have with all of the grades in between.



‘Everyday’ patriot I think would describe most of us… just Americans who go about our lives, proud of the greatness of our nation. Then, on the opposite end of the spectrum, there are the inhabitants of the darkside. Goons, Goobers, Frauds and Thieves.

The Marxist pantheon is vast. The world they inhabit is as insubstantial as an early morning meadow mist that only they can see. But cling to that mist they will, beyond any ken of reasonable, rational men and women.

This is the great divide. It’s where the rubber hits the road. In the coming months, the divide between the American Patriot and those who would destroy America for the sake of their land of mists… the choices will become plainer than ever before. Those who work to enslave free people, those who consort with or give aid and comfort to the enemies of this great nation, will be called out to answer for their perfidy.

This nation may be facing the greatest perils and challenges of our country’s history. Aside from the enemy within, we are beset with enemies around the world. The deteriorating situation in the middle east can be laid directly at the door of Barack Hussein Obama and his administration. Worldwide food shortages, looming inflation, demonstrations, riots… can all be laid at least partially at the administration’s doors.

A monetary policy out of the travels of Gulliver and a foreign policy best described as incoherent, as it is anti-semitic. Now our bold leader is making nice with the Muslim Brotherhood… about as dangerous and anti-American as they could possibly be.

President Obama is a weak fool and, quite possibly, a treasonous one as well.
How would you grade President Obama?

Federal Judge Rules ObamaCare Unconstitutional

In the lawsuit filed by attornies general in 26 states against the Department of Health and Human Services, ObamaCare today has been ruled unconstitutional, in its entirety, by Senior United States District Judge Roger Vinson in Pensacola, Florida. See the ruling in its entirety here.

The Ruling

From Justice Vinson's 78-page ruling:

"I must conclude that the individual mandate and the remaining provisions are all inextricably bound together in purpose and must stand or fall as a single unit."

"Congress exceeded the bounds of its authority in passing the Act with the individual mandate."

"Because the individual mandate is unconstitutional and not severable, the entire Act must be declared void."

"My conclusion in this case is based on an application of the commerce clause law as it exists pursuant to the Supreme Court's current interpretation and definition. Only the Supreme Court (or a Constitutional amendment) can expand that."

Back to Founding Principles

Justice Vinson meticulously combs through and quotes the Federalist Papers throughout his ruling. He cites Federalist 45, which I blogged about here, where James Madison clearly states that Federal powers are "few and defined:"

"In establishing our government, the Founders endeavored to resolve Madison's identified "great difficulty" by creating a system of dual sovereignty under which the powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the State governments are numerous and indefinite."

"...in 1791, the Tenth Amendment reaffirmed that relationship: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited to it by the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."

Kudos to Justice Vinson for actually digging into the Founders' intents in his ruling.

But One Major Concern

I only have one very serious concern with the ruling. Justice Vinson undermines the free market and keeps the door open to continued regulation when he states this:

"That is not to say, of course, that Congress is without power to address the problems and inequties in our health care system. The health care market is more than one sixth of the national economy, and without doubt Congress has the power to reform and regulate this market. That has not been disputed in this case. The principal dispute has been about how Congress chose to exercise that power here."

Now, where does that anti-free-market philosophy come from?

Regardless, today's ruling is a huge reason for celebration as the battle to repeal ObamaCare marches on. This battle's not over, there's more to come...

Rush Limbaugh - Feb 01 2011 Morning Update

Rewriting History

Anderson Cooper of CNN bashes Barbara Bachman for warping American history during her Tea Party rebuttal to President Obama's SOTU Address. She said of people arriving to America, "it didn't matter the color of their skin...their language...their economic status...once you got here, we were all the same." Coopers response was "As good as that sounds, that's simply not true, " citing Irish immigrants finding signs that read "No Irish need not apply", Japanese Americans placed in internment camps during World War II and enslaved Africans. Which lead to pointing out Washington and other founding fathers owning slaves and concluding with "we believe facts matter."

Progressives use the "Well Washington had slaves!" note to selective negate any important idea of a Founding Father and justify Leftist policy. The best reasoning came from Leftist Janeane Garofalo explaining that America was based on a sham. That rich white guys were in one room talking about freedom while they had domestic slaves, (wives) in the kitchen and societal slaves (blacks) in the field. Thus America and it's policy of small government is bad. Thus bigger government and changing what America stands for is good. Thus lumping any pro American with a slave owner is justified.

The fact is that America was founded on the idea of individual freedom. Of self-governance. Of small unobtrusive government. Her only role is to ensure individual freedom to self-govern and that no other force becomes obtrusive in civilian life.

While America was more free any other place, she still didn't have all her cards together as slavery existed at that time. But what was put in place was not just freedom, but also the idea that we the people can change, or "progress" our government to ensure freedom. Clearly slavery inhibits freedom. So in time we "progressed" and eliminated it.

That never justify health care for everyone at everyone's expense. How would a mandate be less obtrusive? How would government control promote self-governance? Equal outcome destroys freedom of choice. If all outcomes are the same, then there is no point in choosing one over the other. With choice eliminated, you have no freedom to chose your own path specific to your individual needs or even creative whims.

So we may "progress" but only in terms individualism never collectivism.

Perhaps Ms. Bachman should have said "America was founded on and stands for freedom. While we were and never are perfect, we find ourselves always in a constant struggle to preserve those principles. Our Founding Father's ideas are facts which matter. Ideas that it shouldn't matter the color of your skin, language or economic status. We are all the same." Even Anderson Cooper says this idea "sounds good." So let's "make it true". Or are progressives selective about the facts that matter?

JUDGE ROGER VINSON -- THE MAN WITH THE BIG FUZZY NUTS

This man may have single–handedly killed Obama Care! 

For the lack of something better to say, "live long and prosper." You have just made two hundred million new friends. 

wikipedia

Clyde Roger Vinson (born February 19, 1940) is a senior federal judge of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Florida.

Life and career

Born in Cadiz, Kentucky, Vinson attended the United States Naval Academy and graduated in 1962 with a bachelor's degree in engineering. He served at Naval Air Station Pensacola as a naval aviator from 1962–1968, attaining the rank of lieutenant. After his service, he attended Vanderbilt University and received his J.D. in 1971.

Returning to Pensacola, Florida, Vinson joined the law firm of Beggs & Lane, where he practiced general civil law from 1971–1983. He was nominated to the federal bench by President Ronald Reagan on September 9, 1983 to a seat vacated by Lynn C. Higby, was confirmed by the Senate on October 4, and received his commission a day later. Among the notable cases he has presided over:

• Four defendants of abortion clinic bombing, 1985^[1]
• Escambia County, Florida ordinance banning The Last Temptation of Christ, 1988^[2]
• Shoney's $134 million race discrimination settlement, 1993^[3]
• Paul Jennings Hill (federal Clinic Access Law charges), 1994^[4]
• Sentenced Financial Manager Marcus Schrenker, who attempted to fake his own death by parachuting out of his plane after charges were brought against him for securities fraud, to four years in federal prison in 2009.^[5]

Vinson was chief judge from 1997 to 2004. He assumed senior status on March 31, 2005.

He was appointed to serve a seven-year term on the Federal Intelligence Surveillance Court, effective May 4, 2006.^[6] In 2009 he was installed as president of the American Camellia Society.^[7]

In 2010, Vinson was assigned to hear a case brought by a group of 20 states that was filed with support by 16 attorneys general and four governors challenging the constitutionality of the new Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), specifically its requirement that most individuals obtain medical insurance. The suit is the second of more than 15 lawsuits filed against the act that has advanced to this stage of litigation.^[8] On January 31, 2011, Vinson ruled that the individual mandate provision of the PPACA violated the Constitution by regulating economic inactivity, and as the mandate is not severable the entire statute was ruled unconstitutional. Vinson allowed the law to stand while it is being appealed by the Obama administration.^[9]
