Senate Flounders on Health Care

Posted by Mike on Monday, December 21, 2009 5:01:29 PM
http://westernperspective.blogspot.com/
As America awaits the coming of a newborn infant this Christmas, our representatives in Washington DC are scrambling to get the vote on the Senate version of the health care bill done before the Christmas recess so that a bill will be ready for Obama to sign. Of course the bill will not be perfect. The Senate will again betray the American people, this time by failing to include adequate safeguards to protect the lives of unborn American children by surreptitiously and sinisterly diverting public funds to private insurers and other payees that promote abortion. Some government this is.

Government of the People

Posted by Mike on Thursday, December 17, 2009 1:47:30 PM
http://westernperspective.blogspot.com/
It wasn't for nothing that the Founders included safeguards in our Constitution to keep those of questionable status from occupying the highest office in the land, that of President of the United States. Today, legal scholars can quibble all they want over whether or not the Fourteenth Amendment substantially changes the restrictions on eligibility of Article II, Section 1. However, in the person of Barack Hussein Obama, America is witnessing the very form of anarchy of which the Founding Fathers warned against.

Barack himself has made clear his antipathy to the Constitution as a document limiting the power of the federal government with negative provisions designed to keep the government in check. Barack the megalomaniac believes inside that the power of the federal government should be absolute. Barack and the other Washington liberals are really only interested in satisfying their own big egos. They want to impose a tyrannical dictatorship like that of ancient Egypt wherein Pharaoh has absolute power. This is really what the government economic bailouts and healthcare takeover are all about.

Americans must therefore change the course of government following the constitutional mandate protecting our individual rights and keeping big government permanently in check.

Hamlet Story Ends Tragically

Posted by Mike on Wednesday, December 02, 2009 2:31:32 AM
http://westernperspective.blogspot.com/
The gist of the Hamlet legend is that those guilty of murder do not escape unpunished.  As Hamlet has become a metaphor for Obama and his deliberative response to major issues, America could be in for some big changes.

Hamlet did eventually avenge his father's murder.  Both the murderer, Hamlet's uncle, and Hamlet's mother ended up being killed, as did Hamlet himself, and others.  The figure of the Danish legend was ultimately killed in battle against a later rival for the kingship.  To carry the analogy a step further, the question arises whether our modern day Hamlet will pay a political price for his dithering and ultimate acquiescence to the military buildup in Afghanistan while secretly planning to withdraw American forces during the coming years.

On another level, it may be asked whether those responsible for the torture and unjust killing of Iraqi and Afghan detainees will be punished for their crimes, as Hamlet's uncle eventually was.

Clemmons Clemency Should Put Huckabee Out of Race

Posted by Mike on Tuesday, December 01, 2009 3:11:37 PM
http://westernperspective.blogspot.com/
Once again, the field is narrowing for 2012. In the absence of a strong pro-life Democrat or third party candidate to challenge Obama, the two front runners on the right are now Mitt Romney and Sarah Palin.

Mike Huckabee acted as more of a spoiler in the Republican primary last year which may have sealed Romney's fate. Now with the news of the Seattle cop killings allegedly at the hands of the released convict Maurice Clemmons now deceased, his credibility as a law and order candidate has justifiably sunk.

The question then becomes, will Romney or Palin, if elected in 2012, continue a failed war policy in Afghanistan, or bring the troops home?

The Palin Factor II

Posted by Mike on Tuesday, November 17, 2009 12:56:22 PM
http://westernperspective.blogspot.com/
As things stand today, Sarah Palin is the only potential candidate with any chance of dethroning Obama in 2012. This is because the wealthy capitalist elite has succeeded in conditioning the electorate to believe that diversity is, in and of itself, a good thing for America.

Obama won in 2008 because he is black. It will take an even greater anomaly, namely a credible, intelligent woman candidate, to overcome Obama's presumptuousness because of race.

To paraphrase Abraham Lincoln, you can only fool all of the people some of the time.

NY Terrorism Trial Signals Muslim Imposition

Posted by Mike on Tuesday, November 17, 2009 10:02:13 AM
http://westernperspective.blogspot.com/
The trial setting for Khalid Sheik Mohammed and other suspected Islamic terrorists in New York is a concession to Islam. The West is no longer Christian but rather officially secular and agnostic. This is evident in the recent banning of the crucifix from Italian public schools which will be ignored by the Italians themselves and inspire other schools in Europe to display Christian symbols such as the nativity scene in the classroom.

The pope is trying to broker a deal with Islamic leaders in exchange for the building of mosques in Europe for them to allow churches to be built in Muslim lands and to give Muslims the right to convert to Christianity or Judaism.

Secularism leaves a void in the soul which leads people to seek guidance to answer the basic questions of their existence.

The decision by the Obama administration is saying to Muslims throughout the world that the West will accommodate them even in times of war. This will inevitably lead to demands that western countries allow Muslims to live under a separate system of sharia law, something that the EU already permits at the local level.

The goal of Islam is jihad to destroy the Great Satan of secularism particularly in America and Israel. Obama is conceding that they won and that at least for the time being, America will concede them a gradual victory.

A Reconstituted Reagan Coalition?

Posted by Mike on Friday, November 06, 2009 10:21:30 AM
http://westernperspective.blogspot.com/
The Reagan presidency reconciled three elements that often seemed opposed to each other. These were the social, fiscal and defense conservatives respectively.

Today's world is much different than that of 1980 when Reagan began making his stump speeches across the country igniting a wave of prairie fires caused by discontent with big government. But the principles are the same. Limited government and lower taxes, keeping the federal government at bay.

Today there is no central national leader to lead the charge. Instead, the wave of indignation is occurring spontaneously at tea parties and town hall meetings nationwide. The lesson of November 3 is that Americans are reasserting their God given liberty which transcends political categories. Either the politicians will get on board, or they will face extinction in the upcoming elections.

Those who view Doug Hoffman's showing in New York's 23rd as a defeat completely miss the point of the reawakening process. As in the days of Ronald Reagan, this is all about redistribution, but not as Obama's supporters envision.

Both Wars Stink

Posted by Mike on Wednesday, November 04, 2009 9:59:45 AM
http://westernperspective.blogspot.com/
While the MSM has predictably jumped on the Obama bandwagon in distinguishing between the Iraq war as a war of choice as opposed to the Afghanistan war of necessity, the fact remains that both wars together have taken a huge toll in terms of American lives, economic resources, and world recognition. The criticism leveled against Bush 43 for leading American forces into Iraq is not altogether justified. There had to be some strong military response after 9/11. To blame everything on Al Qaeda, and the Afghan Taliban for harboring Al Qaeda, seems simplistic at best. Saddam's regime was far more brutal and dictatorial than that of the Taliban, and was responsible for some of the terrorist violence preceding 9/11.

Unfortunately, America's war crimes, particularly those directed against detainees many of whom were demonstrably innocent, more than offset any rational justification for war at this point. Capitalism breeds vindictiveness. The legitimate goal of interrogation gave way to the temptation to exact vengeance and to dehumanize and ridicule.

Obama's exit strategy is the beginning of our economic recovery. Iraq and Afghanistan will never become like us. The sooner we realize this, the better.

The Copenhagen Fiasco and the G-20

Posted by Mike on Monday, October 26, 2009 10:14:26 AM
http://westernperspective.blogspot.com/
The Copenhagen Climate Summit looks like it may fizzle out. China and India, our future biggest economic rivals, have opted out. Likewise, Obama has RSVP'd that he will not be in attendance. Despite the rhetoric, nations need to act together to bring greenhouse gasses under control. Extending carbon credits to nations and multinational corporations is a workable solution. As stewards of the environment, it does not make any difference how much pollution is man-made and how much is naturally caused. The point is, we must live within the limitations set by God. At the recent G-20 summit, University of Pittsburgh student Kyle Kramer was forced to kneel by Chicago police for a trophy photo. This goes to show how irresponsible and out of touch some local government agencies are with the American people whom they are commissioned to serve. The bad news is that some law enforcement officers now regard themselves as Americops, or worse yet as Cosmocops (see inset).The good news is that more and more law enforcement and military are now taking their obligations to serve seriously, which brings hope that the higher level wrongdoers in government will face justice soon.

Will Rahm Be Next Unqualified Candidate?

Posted by Mike on Sunday, October 18, 2009 10:33:55 PM
http://westernperspective.blogspot.com/
The rise of neo-conservatism during the Bush administrations coupled with presidential aspirations of politicians with dual citizenship is clearly an attempt at an Israeli takeover of the United States from within.

Rahm Emanuel, who is believed by some to be an Israeli agent, is the likely next choice for a Democratic candidate after Obama leaves office. Although he was born in Chicago, both of Rahm's parents were from Israel. This gives Rahm an equal status with Barack Obama of being qualified or unqualified to serve as President of the United States. If the Supreme Court finds that Barack is unqualified, Rahm will be unable to seek higher office, his presidential aspirations will be frustrated, and America will not become surrogate to the state of Israel. Conversely, if the Supreme Court finds that Barack is qualified, this will give Rahm the green light to subordinate America's national interest to that of Israel. This is clearly what is at stake. Rahm himself has stated his opportunistic belief to not let a serious crisis go to waste.

It is therefore a critical time in history for Americans to do all that we can to expose the lies of Barack Obama and the Chicago Mafia. Americans must make sure that our Constitutional form of government is not subverted. We must keep all those disloyal Americans with adverse interests or divided loyalties out of our government as our Founding Fathers intended.

What about Those Born on US Soil?

Posted by Mike on Wednesday, October 14, 2009 10:51:24 PM
Good question.
http://westernperspective.blogspot.com/
Think about it a minute. Everyone knows that most, if not all, of the 9/11 hijackers were here in America legally. Let's just suppose hypothetically that one of these hijackers, say Mohammad Atta, was instrumental in conceiving a child later born in Florida. Would the mere fact that the child was born on US soil give that illegitimate child an entitlement of eligibility to one day occupy the highest office in the land, that of President of the United States? Same situation as Obama. Father being a Muslim foreigner, enters the US legally, gets his girlfriend pregnant. (Remember, Barry's father was still married to the woman in Kenya at the time).

The short answer is no. Merely being born on US soil does not confer an entitlement to someday being eligible to be President. That was the reason why the Framers put in the words "natural born" before "citizen" in reference to qualifications for the office of President, whereas they just specify that Senators and Congressional Representatives be ordinary citizens. Likewise, a mere congressional resolution that someone who was not born on US soil but whose parents are US citizens is henceforth a natural born citizen does not confer on that person any entitlement to eligibility to be President.

Confusion may arise because at the time the Constitution was ratified in 1789, there was no Fourteenth Amendment, so all future citizens born after 1789 were either natural born citizens following the English common law criteria, or became citizens through the process of naturalization. The Fourteenth Amendment to protect the Negroid extended citizenship to all those born in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, whether or not their parents were citizens. This leaves open the question of whether a child, one or both of whose parents are here illegally, who happens to be born in the United States, is or is not a citizen, which depends on whether the child falls within the jurisdiction of the United States or that of a foreign power. If we use the same criteria that all citizens are either those that are natural born citizens or those that are naturalized, we run into problems because the Framers clearly never intended that all persons born on American soil would be natural born citizens and so eligible to hold the office of President.

The court is asked to decide whether the Fourteenth Amendment is an assertion that all those who are now citizens by virtue of being born on US soil, but who would not have been natural born citizens in 1789 by virtue of either one or both parents not being US citizens at the time of their birth, but rather subjects of a foreign power, automatically acquire eligibility to hold the office of President, which would not have been the case had they been born in 1789 as they would not have been natural born citizens at that time as required in Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution.  This may be a case of first impression.

This case will probably reach the US Supreme Court. Obama is too arrogant to do the right thing and resign like Nixon did in 1974.

Obama's Birth a Red Herring

Posted by Mike on Wednesday, October 14, 2009 3:39:24 PM
http://westernperspective.blogspot.com/
The question of where Obama was born is a distraction to shift the focus away from the real reason why he is unqualified to serve as President of the United States. Kenyan officials and relatives of Obama have a vested interest in saying that he was born there to promote their own country. The real question is not one of birth, but of parentage.

Barry Obama's status follows that of his father. When born in Hawaii in 1961, Obama was a subject of the British Crown like his father. He only obtained US citizenship by virtue of the Fourteenth Amendment.  Hence he is not a natural born citizen.

The question is one of remedy. The federal court in exercising jurisdiction is called upon to decide whether Barack Obama can actually prove that he is qualified to be President. Citizens have a right to demand that our government leaders, and the Commander in Chief in particular, are qualified to hold public office. Because of the separation of powers, it is doubtful whether a federal magistrate can remove someone from the office of President. Congress alone has that power through impeachment proceedings. However, the Constitution only allows impeachment in the case of "high crimes and misdemeanors".

It is worth noting again that Barack Obama took the presidential oath twice, because in the first ceremony there was a defect. This basis of impeachment will have to be fraud on the electorate, which will require proof of intent. This will be difficult to prove in Obama's case, mostly because of prior cases of unqualified candidates running for office.  The court could at some point, however, issue an order barring Obama from seeking reelection in 2012.

Can the Illegitimate Son of an Alien Be President?

Posted by Mike on Monday, October 12, 2009 7:41:00 PM
The answer is no.
http://westernperspective.blogspot.com/
There were certain classes of people excluded by our Founding Fathers from being eligible to hold the office of President of the United States. The first excluded class is citizens of foreign countries or subjects of foreign powers. The second is people who were not US citizens by virtue of being too young or not having been emancipated. The third is people who lived within the states but were not citizens because they belonged to a Native tribe or nation. Barry Hussein Obama born in 1961 in Hawaii is a US citizen because the Fourteenth Amendment grants citizenship to all persons born within the United States of America, and within the jurisdiction thereof. Barry Obama's father Barack Obama was a subject of the British Crown at the time of Barry's birth. He was a resident alien living in Hawaii on a student visa. Barack Obama purportedly married a US citizen in Hawaii. At the time he was married to a Kenyan woman and the Hawaiian marriage is therefore legally invalid. This means that Barry Hussein Obama was illegitimate, something we all knew anyway. This has no bearing on his qualifications to be President of the United States, or lack thereof. Would a child of an alien father here in America illegally, who happens to be born here, be eligible to hold the office of President someday? Most Americans would agree that such an offspring of an alien here illegally would lack the status to qualify for holding the highest office in the land. They would be right. Under our Constitution, such offspring would not be a natural born citizen.

 Does it in any way matter that Barry's father was here legally on a student visa?

Out of Africa

Posted by Mike on Friday, August 21, 2009 6:45:06 PM
http://westernperspective.blogspot.com/
This blog has dealt with scientifically the issue of how genetics, specifically Y-chromosome DNA configurations, has been a decisive factor in presidential elections in America, including the ancestry of Thomas Jefferson. Now with the election of Barack Obama as our first African-American president, it is clear that America has passed a milestone in leadership selection.

My prior observations were based on the similarities between Y-chromosome DNA between the major candidates and the various ethnic groups within the general population. A cursory look reveals that almost all prior presidents were descended paternally from ancestors born in the British Isles, except Van Buren, both Roosevelts, and Eisenhower, whose paternal ancestors hailed from northwest Europe which shares many of the same paternal genetic characteristics with the British Isles. The one anomaly was regarding Thomas Jefferson who was found in the Sally Hemings paternity investigations to have had a rare form K of the male ancestor DNA markers passed down from father to son only.

Obama's election pushes the analysis one step farther to include more American males, since scientific studies now show that the ancestors of all living humans originated on the African continent, and that all living humans have a single common ancestor, both male and female, who lived in Africa.

During the Roman Empire, there was no racial discrimination. A person's social status depended upon whether one were a Roman citizen or not. Thus, there were many of African descent, bearing such sobriquets as Africanus, Niger, Moor, etc., who were well respected within the Empire. Some of their DNA characteristics have obviously been handed down in Italy, and among Italians of African descent. Also, a good percentage of our European ancestors were descended from Africa at a relatively recent time anthropologically speaking.

The Obama factor in 2008 demonstrates a degree of unity among American men which has not existed before in history. Instead of voting on the basis of Western European male genetic characteristics, Americans picked a president whose paternal ancestry reflects, to some extent, that of all human beings at some point going back in time. This also is a further step toward globalization which is proceeding at a much faster rate than expected.

Let's Have Some Real Health Care Reform

Posted by Mike on Friday, August 14, 2009 4:35:22 PM
http://westernperspective.blogspot.com/
The Obamaites in the media continue to repeat the mantra that the Obamacare proposal will not force American taxpayers to pay for abortions. Yet it was the same Obama administration that scuttled the Mexico City Policy so that they could fund abortions abroad with our tax dollars. How can any intelligent American believe that this plan drummed up by Rahm Emanuel will not lead to government coercion to kill the terminally ill and elderly among us? Rahm's brother Ezekiel, chairman of the department of bioethics at the National Institute of Health, has himself made the point that the bill will use a person's age as a basis for denial of health care benefits because older Americans theoretically will have had greater access to health care when they were younger and able to work. Rahm again is only looking out for Israel where abortion is against the law, and he is trying to weaken America so that Israel will not be left out in the cold after decades of dependency on America.

This health care plan amounts to treason by Obama and the liberals in Congress. America cannot wait until the killing of our senior citizens, and citizens with serious disabilities, becomes commonplace. We must act now to bring the traitorous scoundrels to justice. America must act independently in order to promote good in the world. This isn't just about grandma anymore. It is an attack against America.
