Celebrating Ronald Reagan – From the Heritage Foundation

The blog every ‘Birther’ should read – and all the rest of us on the right, too

I went looking for the blog that my good friend AFVET mentioned in another post regarding our START treaty with Russia and stumbled on this one. Everyone should read it.

Although I’ve waffled on this topic and can see both sides of the issue, mostly I’ve believed that this whole birth certificate thing is a red herring. It’s being used to set up the right as the nutwings the progressives believe we are. This is an issue that the left wants in the news, daily. And this Abercrombie in Hawaii is as stupid as a fox by using it to whip up more and more headlines in order to make conservatives look more and more nutty.

Did you know, for instance that this birth certificate thing all started with the Hillary movement, in 2008? Or that Orly Taitz (the lead attorney in this whole thing) is a democrat donor? And that a lot of this hoopla about the certificate has been fowarded by 9-11 truthers?

Well, I for one, had no idea of these things. But the author of this blog seems to have evidence to those assertions. And I find no reason to doubt his statements. And I admit to pretty much ignoring this BC topic because I believe, in the end, that it’s going to be a hammer used to beat us up and win this election for Obama.

When I read that this governor was going to “settle this birth certificate thing once and for all,” I smelled a rat. There is no way that this was going to happen without the imprimatur of the White House. Abercrombie, the self avowed socialist, was not working unilaterally. Obama’s people had to be involved in this. If the gov’s goal was to settle this, then why didn’t the WH just produce the thing and settle it?

I think it’s clear why they didn’t. They want to use the birthers to beat up on the right during this next election. Of course, the beating up will not OFFICIALLY come out of the Obama campaign. It will be a whisper campaign that will then be carried and screeched by all MSM.

The birthers want the same thing that the all conservatives want: a one term president. They need to quiet down this whole thing and let it ride until we vote him out.  Otherwise this is going to be used to beat the right – all of the right – over the head. This could change some independents minds come November 2012, who were likely NOT to vote to reelect him.

If the birthers turn out to be right, this can all be settled after we vote him out of office.

But who knows – maybe in the eleventh hour of this election, like a Hail Mary pass, someone will produce the real birth certificate, make the birthers look like wingnuts and a little thing like that could swing the election for Obama.

More failed cronyism in the Obama regime

I love this story – so  much I’ve read it twice.

Cynthia Stroum formerly ambassador to Luxembourg

One more incompetent, unqualified Obama appointee hits the road.  But she’s not been removed from the state department’s website yet.

The situation (at the Luxembourg embassy) was so bad that the inspector general recommended that the State Department dispatch medical personnel to Luxembourg to test the stress levels of embassy employees. It said at least four staffers quit or sought transfers to Iraq and Afghanistan during her tenure, unusual steps for diplomats assigned to a modern, Western European capital.

Ha! so bad that the staff not only needed medical attention, but also actually REQUESTED transfers to Iraq and Afghanistan???  Boy… that’s saying a lot about the competence and managerial style of this ambassador.

And don’t forget – all of this incompetence and dereliction at taxpayer expense.

Job well done, Mr. Obama – Indeed well done!

Dept of Labor partners with lawyers for employee complaint lawsuits

It’s one thing after another with this regime. And the public is generally unaware of these things. The latest is a partnership between the Department of Labor and the American Bar Association. A hotline has been created so that unhappy employees with complaints about their bosses can report and retain an attorney for legal action.

Next to the DOJ, Labor has the most attorneys already on payroll than any other department in the federal government but they can’t seem to address all the complaints coming in from disgruntled employees. On a contingency basis, the ABA will provide attorneys to help out. That means that they only get paid at the end of a suit – after it’s gone to court or a settlement is reached.

Yes sir. More lawsuits against small businesses. More government/taxpayer funded employees to monitor the program. And if you’re a lawyer and not a member of the ABA, chances are you won’t be getting referrals.

There’s no information about the same kind of program for businesses who have complaints about their employees, however.

You really have to read this article at Fox Business about this whole thing. This program has far-reaching ramifications and those involved do not appear to be the most ethical people.

It’s one more example of this governments animosity towards business, especially small business, in America.
