Sorry for the delay

I'm sorry about the non-posting.

I just got a new job (it was quite sudden). Well, it's just sort of a trial period now, but it may be a real new job. So that's been keeping me busy. Back soon, but I'll leave you with this:



Apparently, the person who created this is not aware of all internet traditions.

Also, apparently this person is not aware of any design traditions, or even that we didn't have two parties in this country until 1841, and after that, there were two other extended periods of one-party rule: after the Civil War and after the Great Depression.

Also: we were living under Communism from 2001-2007. Who knew? This person, evidently.

Can it be? Donofrio makes sense?

Leo Donofrio is making some sense. I still think he's an idiot and probably hallucinating, but he seems to know that sticking your hand in a rat trap is a Bad Thing. Doc Orly doesn't seem to get that and will probably send Donofrio to the outer darkness, where there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

I originally thought that this was going away after the inauguration, but I forgot the When Prophecy Fails scenario. Judging from that and other similar cults, once Easterling gets court-martialed, Donofrio will be attacked as an agent of the enemy.

Military POTUS Eligibility Madness

A few weeks ago, I suggested hypothetically that active military might have standing to bring a class action to question Obama’s POTUS eligibility. After reviewing various sections of the Uniform Code of Military Justice pointed out to me by various readers, I came to the conclusion that such a law suit would probably not only fail, but would also subject soldiers to potential court martial.

I decided to have nothing to do with any such law suit involving military plaintiffs. Their burden is already so large. This is our burden.

Then, after seeing a consent form issued by Orly Taitz within which active military were being asked to state that they might disobey orders from President Obama, I realized that these men were truly being put in serious jeopardy. I responded with a blog which suggested that any soldiers who had a problem with Obama’s eligibility should consult a JAG lawyer or their personal attorney rather than going to the internet for advice.

I hoped the issue would go away, but it didn’t. This week an active military officer signed a consent form to be a plaintiff in a future law suit brought by Orly Taitz. Besides erroneously reporting that the officer had defied a Presidential order, the officer’s name was released and inflammatory and contemptuous statements were also released via World Net Daily, Orly’’s blog and the Drudge Report.

I complained vehemently and eventually the incorrect headline which grossly and erroeneously stated that the officer had defied a Presidential order was changed at all three sources.

Unfortunately, the damage had already been done. Review the following statement by the officer:

“Until Mr. Obama releases a ‘vault copy’ of his original birth certificate for public review, I will consider him neither my Commander in Chief nor my President, but rather, a usurper to the Office – an impostor…”

This statement should never have been made public. If Orly Taitz is going to solicit active military to join her potential law suit and sign consent forms thereto, then she should be charged with the responsibility of knowing the exact punishment her clients will be subjected to, and she should be protecting them from any unnecessary jeopardy.

The Easterling thing is exploding nicely

Military.com - Officer Calls Obama 'Usurper' President

"We are taking a look at that ourselves right now," Lt. Col. Christopher Garver said. "We are always trying to balance our ... military requirements under the Uniform Code of Military Justice versus critical freedoms that all Americans enjoy."

Welp, looks like Lt. Easterling will probably enjoy a nice dishonorable discharge.

While I'm here, I'd like to note Doc Orly's response:

Open Letter Response to the Lt. Easerling (sic) story covered by Bryant Jordan of Military.com

Can't even get her own client's name right. I'm sure there's a metaphor or something in there.

1. In a letter you questioned the very existence of officer Easterling and Mr. Tulley stated that information was given by a third party with an ax to grind. As a reporter you could check Officer Easterling's existence, instead of questioning that. Mr. Tulley claimed that I am a party with an ax to grind. Based on what? His imagination. That is a defamatory statement and I expect retraction and apology.

If there were one way to describe Orly, axe to grind would not be it. Obviously biased would be the phrase I prefer.

Also, for those of you looking for point #2, there is no point #2. Point #3 is, presumably, No Pooftahs.

As far as the last comment goes, about Chief of staff saluting Obama, I don't know if I should respond seriously or laugh. In Germany chief of staff saluted Hitler, didn't make him legitimate. In our recent history chief of staff saluted Nixon, as he was getting into helicopter and leaving office disgraced during Watergate.

Doc Orly apparently missed a few days in history class. See, while Nixon did use dirty tricks to get validly elected, Hitler was actually validly elected without any dirty tricks (well, unless you want to count Dolchstoßlegende, in which case, it was the fault of the voters for not thinking critically). In both cases, the election was valid and they were president and chancellor, respectively. Which was the point that the original author made.

I don't think that's proper address

Dr. Taitz's Military Action Welcomes' Officer Easterling

You don't address military officers as "officer." You use whatever rank that particular officer is. Otherwise, you can't tell a lowly second or first lieutenant from a colonel or a general. I wonder what rank he is...

I was promoted to 1LT on Feb. 2, 2009

Ah! First Lieutenant. An O-2 pay grade, the second lowest in the officer corps (which he joined straight out of basic training in this case).

Wake me up when you have a captain. I probably won't pay any attention then, either, but at least you won't be embarrassing yourself.

You say you want a revolution...

Tea Party revolution brewing

The kettle’s whistling. Tea Parties are popping up all over the country. People are flocking to these sites which have cropped up practically overnight in search of information about rallies, demonstrations and Tea Parties in their cities. The revolution is brewing!

You know, for self-proclaimed patriots, these people seem positively giddy at the thought of personally killing their fellow countrymen (and women).

Screwing for chastity

What will YOU do when “they” come for your neighbor???

So someone puts up a sign saying that Obama is a traitor and someone should make a citizen's arrest. Given that the person in question does not live in North Carolina, the only state to allow citizens' arrests, I can see how someone might get the wrong idea and why they might send for the Secret Service, though I think that's taking things way too far.

And then, hang on a tick...

THIS is exactly why we need to organize on a local level first!

Oh.

RESISTERS

Ah.

Are you going to RESIST or are you going to sit at your computer writing letters that are ignored, or planning for your ‘big protest’ several months from now??

Uh, well maybe she only means...

What WILL you do WHEN they come for your neighbor?? What will you want your neighbor to do when they come FOR YOU??

Uh... nevermind.

Yes, Yes This Is Cause For Alarm Is Cause For Alarm

Yes This Is Cause For Alarm

Greg on his blog justly pointed at the need to restore the Militia of the several States as if we are to restore, defend and uphold the Constitution, and thereby the Constitutional Republic, against current conspiracy of usurpation and tyranny from within it is essential we work on State and Country level.

Yeah, that sounds an awful lot like treason.
