7 Easy Steps to Jailing Obama
We may be entering President Obamas sixth year as president, but there is still a swath of the population that believes he is not a natural-born U.S. citizen and a large portion of the U.S. House of Representatives that believes it could impeach Obama on those and other grounds. While the Democratic-led U.S. Senate stands ready to foil any impeachment attempt, Lord Christopher Monckton has a foolproof plan to lock up not only Obama but any public official who believes Obama is qualified for the presidency. Step 1: Stop being panty-waists, writes the World Net Daily columnist and adviser to former British prime minister Margaret Thatcher. In other words, members of Congress should quit fretting about what the left will say about them and band together to move forward with a congressional inquiry into the self-evidently bogus birth certificate that festers to this day on the white house website. Step 2: Call the attorney general of Hawaii, the head of the Secret Service, and the head of the FBI, and ask them why they did not act when they were telephoned and written to by concerned U.S. citizens. Step 2: The GOP caucus should get its wobbly bottom down to Phoenix and get itself up to speed on the investigation, led by Sheriff Joe Arpaio. Step 4: Draft a bill to remove every statute signed by Obama because they are all invalid. Step 5: Dont expect Obama to be arrested while hes still in office, but as soon as his term ends, various agencies will belatedly scramble to start doing the job they should be doing now, in the vain hope of evading prosecution for acting as accessories after the fact of forgery. Step 5: Give private citizens the right to bring prosecutions without the consent of the states attorneys general, Monckton writes. Let the heads roll, right across federal and state governments. Fill the jails. And finally, Step 7: If you think all of the foregoing is mad, just watch and learn.
Republicans Arent Convinced About Evolution
A third of adult Americans do not believe in evolution, according to a new poll from the Pew Research Center. How exactly humans came to be is becoming an increasingly more partisan issue, with Republicans now more skeptical about evolution than ever. The poll found that the percentage of Republicans who believe in the theory of evolution has dropped from 54 percent to 43 percent over the last four years. Weve seen evidence of the trend with the number of state school bards that have attempted to stop teaching evolution in public schoolsor, as in Texas, suggested that textbooks should offer students a creationist alternative to evolution. Bryan Fischer, spokesman for the American Family Association and Fringe Factor regular, emphasized this attitude on his Christian radio show Thursday, ringing in the new year with the declaration that anyone who believes in evolution should be disqualified from holding political office. Its not that there should necessarily be a law banning people from holding office if they think humans evolved into their current form over time, he said. But the American people shouldnt vote for them because that guy, if he does not believe that we are all created beings and that our rights come to us from God, that man cannot be trusted to protect your civil rights, he explained.
Texas Senate Race: Whoever Loves Guns More Wins
How can underdog Rep. Steve Stockman get a leg up in Texass Republican Senate primary? Prove hes more pro-gun rights than his NRA-endorsed opponent, Sen. John Cornyn. In an effort to do just that, Stockman tweeted a photo of a gun and spray can labeled Liberal Tears with the message The best gun lubricant around. Though Cornyn has already won the approval of the NRA, Stockman boasts the endorsement of Gun Owners of America, a hard-line Second Amendment advocacy group that has criticized the NRA for compromising on gun rights issues.
