See below a video interview with Dr. Herbert Titus, our Distinguished Senior Fellow in Constitutional Law, Jurisprudence and Public Policy, explain why being born in Hawaii does not make Obama a natural born citizen.
Exclusive: Alan Keyes and John Haskins warn of inaugural splendor replacing eligibility
Now steps onto the stage of world history a man apparently quite conscious that the Supreme Law of the United States prevents him from being president of the United States.
For why else would anyone hire lawyers and expend millions of dollars to avoid producing a $12.50 birth certificate to show eligibility under the Constitution? ‘Midst the rhythmic chants of a delirious, sycophantic media, inaugural splendor will substitute for simple proof that the United States of America will have a constitutionally legitimate president.
Britain has descended into chaos. A nation once famous for its civility has degenerated into an orgy of rioting, burning, and looting. Shops are smashed, pillaged, and burned. Shopkeepers and homeowners are attacked and even killed. There are many contributing factors but virtually no rationalization or justifications for what commentators insist on attributing to “deprivation.” Yet the intelligentsia insists, as the BBC did recently, on describing the rioters as “protesters,” an open admission that Britain’s political ideology is a major contributor to the mayhem. Even the conservative press avoids giving offense. Mary Riddell in the Daily Telegraph writes that more welfare “is the only solution.”
The following open letter from John Haskins, then Executive Director of the Parents' Rights Coalition, to Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council in September 2006 was copied to a long list of Perkins' colleagues in the "pro-family" movement. Perkins was and is one of numerous "pro-family", social conservative and "Religious Right" figures who (then and now have) persistently hidden Mitt Romney's
Joint Letter to Governor Mitt Romney from Pro-Family Leaders
(Authored by John Haskins in consultation with multiple constitutional authorities, this letter was hand-delivered
to the Governor’s staff at his office in the State House.)
Judith Reisman drubs Arlen Specter for OK'ing attorney David Ogden
Well, his friends sure did it. We are on the road, big time, as they say. The Senate Judiciary Committee voted 14-5 to endorse David Ogden to be majordomo at the Department of Justice.
…[O]ur sages in the great [constitutional] convention…intended our government should be a republic which differs more widely from a democracy than a democracy from a despotism. The rigours of a despotism often…oppress only a few, but it is the very essence and nature of a democracy, for a faction claiming to oppress a minority, and that minority the chief owners of the property and truest lovers of their country.
Fisher Ames, American statesman, 1805
In a syndicated column that was something less than objective, Matt Towery explains that “Romney has the most going for him in 2012.” According to Towery, “when staunch Republicans start considering the big prize—who can actually take the White House for the GOP—and when they see Romney ably debate Obama my guess is that even the most ardent Tea Partiers will be cheering Romney’s every word.”
The more I peruse the current public discourse about the application of the Fourteenth Amendment to the present quandary of public debt that confronts this country, the more I am convinced of the wisdom of the observation of the ancients that “Against human stupidity even the immortal gods contend in vain!”
Having looked at the swelling of the Tea Party, I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s not a uniform movement.
There are at least three different movements trying to give the impression of being one. The most influential of these movements is the one that fits most easily into the GOP. It is associated with Sarah Palin, Karl Rove, and other Republican regulars appearing on Fox. It emphasizes what Dick Morris describes as “economic issues exclusively,” and those issues can be summed up as Obamacare and some of the ill-considered bailouts passed by the Democratic Congress since 2008.
