Justice’s wife launches ‘tea party’ groupThe nonprofit run by Virginia Thomas, wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, is likely to test notions of political impartiality for the court.

By Kathleen Hennessey

Reporting from Washington

As Virginia Thomas tells it in her soft-spoken, Midwestern cadence, the story of her involvement in the “tea party” movement is the tale of an average citizen in action.

“I am an ordinary citizen from Omaha, Neb., who just may have the chance to preserve liberty along with you and other people like you,” she said at a recent panel discussion with tea party leaders in Washington. Thomas went on to count herself among those energized into action by President Obama’s “hard-left agenda.”

But Thomas is no ordinary activist.

She is the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, and she has launched a tea-party-linked group that could test the traditional notions of political impartiality for the court.

In January, Virginia Thomas created Liberty Central Inc., a nonprofit lobbying group whose website will organize activism around a set of conservative “core principles,” she said.

The group plans to issue score cards for Congress members and be involved in the November election, although Thomas would not specify how. She said it would accept donations from various sources — including corporations — as allowed under campaign finance rules recently loosened by the Supreme Court.

“I adore all the new citizen patriots who are rising up across this country,” Thomas, who goes by Ginni, said on the panel at the Conservative Political Action Conference. “I have felt called to the front lines with you, with my fellow citizens, to preserve what made America great.”…Continue Reading

PROMISES, PROMISES: Is gov’t more open with Obama?

Mar 16, 5:28 AM (ET)

By SHARON THEIMER

WASHINGTON (AP) – Federal agencies haven’t lived up to President Barack Obama’s promise of a more open government, increasing their use of legal exemptions to keep records secret during his first year in office.

An Associated Press review of Freedom of Information Act reports filed by 17 major agencies found that the use of nearly every one of the law’s nine exemptions to withhold information from the public rose in fiscal year 2009, which ended last October.

Among the most frequently used exemptions: one that lets the government hide records that detail its internal decision-making. Obama specifically directed agencies to stop using that exemption so frequently, but that directive appears to have been widely ignored.

Major agencies cited that exemption at least 70,779 times during the 2009 budget year, up from 47,395 times during President George W. Bush’s final full budget year, according to annual FOIA reports filed by federal agencies. Obama was president for nine months in the 2009 period.

Departments used the exemption more even though Obama’s Justice Department told agencies to that disclosing such records was “fully consistent with the purpose of the FOIA,” a law intended to keep government accountable to the public….Continue Reading

Lebanon surrenders to AssadPresident Assad riding high as Lebanon’s anti-Syrian camp falls apart

Roee Nahmias

If anyone still had any doubt that there is no longer an “anti-Syrian camp” in Lebanon, there came Walid Jumblatt and provided the final nail in the coffin. In an interview to al-Jazeera, which symbolically enough was held on the eve of March 14 – the political code of this camp – Jumblatt apologized to Bashar Assad.

“I said, at a moment of anger, what is improper and illogical against President Bashar Assad. It was a moment of ultimate internal tension and division in Lebanon,” Jumblatt said, hoping to “open a new page” via the interviewer, known for his connections with Hezbollah; that is, Jumblatt was hoping that the Syrian president will invite him to the presidential palace in Damascus.

To Jumblatt’s credit, we must note that he was not the first one: Before him, the prime minister and head of the anti-Syrian camp, Sa’ad al-Hariri, headed to Damascus – the same Hariri who held Assad responsible for the assassination of Hariri Sr. in 2005. Following the handshakes and kisses traded with the Syrian top brass, Hariri is reportedly planning to visit Tehran soon, but not the United States. And if this what the head of the anti-Syrian camp does, why should Jumblatt conduct himself any differently?…Continue Reading

5th state exempts guns. Is Washington noticing?

‘I think they’re going to let it ride, hoping some judge throws out case’

A fifth state – South Dakota – has decided that guns made, sold and used within its borders no longer are subject to the whims of the federal government through its rule-making arm in the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, and two supporters of the growing groundswell say they hope Washington soon will be taking note.

South Dakota Gov. Mike Rounds has signed into law his state’s version of a Firearms Freedom Act that first was launched in Montana. It already is law there, in Tennessee, Utah and Wyoming, which took the unusual step of specifying criminal penalties – including both fines and jail time – for federal agents attempting to enforce a federal law on a “personal firearm” in the Cowboy State.

According to a report in the Dakota Voice, the new South Dakota law addresses the “rights of states which have been carelessly trampled by the federal government for decades.”

“As the federal government has radically overstepped is constitutional limitations in the past year or so, an explosion of states have begun re-asserting their rights not only with regard to firearms, but also in shielding themselves against government health care, cap and trade global warming taxes, and more,” the report said. …Continue Reading

Catholic Archbishop Warns About Dishonest Pro-Obamacare Leftist Groups Posing as Catholics

Monday, March 15, 2010, 4:48 AM

Jim Hoft

A Catholic Archbishop warned Americans today about dishonest leftists and democrats who claim the church backs the pro-abortion Senate health care bill.

We saw a bit of this already this weekend. A non-Catholic Catholic group of radical leftists and Marxists released a letter (signed by non-Catholics) in support of the Senate’s pro-abortion bill.

Kathryn Jean Lopez at The Corner reported:

In a piece to be released later this morning, Catholic archbishop Charles J. Chaput of Denver comes out swinging against the health-care push in Washington this week. He writes, in part:

Groups, trade associations and publications describing themselves as “Catholic” or “prolife” that endorse the Senate version — whatever their intentions — are doing a serious disservice to the nation and to the Church, undermining the witness of the Catholic community; and ensuring the failure of genuine, ethical health-care reform. …Continue Reading

…“Another Obama Camp scam?
When I first read about the Virginia lawsuit claiming Obama is ineligible and the subsequent ruling by the judge, it did not smell right. I have reread the exerpts placed on the internet and after much thought and deciding that I had to read the Petition and the judges ruling, I searched for a record of the filing and hearing on the official Virginia Courts website. I did extensive searching by names and dates and
found nothing. After much searching, I called the clerk of court’s office. I was told that several people had called inquiring about the case and they could find no record of any case.”…

Obama’s Birth Certificate and the Suppression of Free Speech, Larry Sinclair

This is from Democracy Project:

Phil Orenstein • August 3, 2008 • Uncategorized

Blogger and Brooklyn College Professor of Business Mitchell Langbert has been doing a yeoman’s job investigating the records of Senator Obama’s birth certificate. Despite the pleas from many quarters of the blogosphere, thus far his birth certificate has not been made public, except for a proven forgery on the Daily Kos site and his own campaign site Fight the Smears. At this time, there is no proof that Barack Obama is a natural born citizen of the United States, and therefore no proof of his eligibility to be president. What should be a simple matter of producing a paper document from the State of Hawaii Public Information Office under the Freedom of Information Act especially for a candidate who seeks to promote change, openness and transparency, has turned into a crisis of stonewalling and fraud, offering up only blurred jpegs and photoshopped forgeries of the alleged original – a story that the media will hardly touch. But now the scandal has exploded into a rampage of intimidation, censorship and veiled threats by Obama’s supporters against bloggers and investigators who continue to pursue this issue. Now Professor Langbert’s blog has been shut down, just as traffic was increasing to his blog in support of a petition for the release of Obama’s true birth certificate. In place of the media’s dereliction of duty to inform the public, it falls on the shoulders of such blogs as the Democracy Project, on which Langbert was a former blogger, to expose the full story.

As the recent firestorm was brewing over the absence of Obama’s actual birth certificate, Daily Kos published a jpeg image to quell the swirling rumors that Obama’s country of birth was not United States of America and questions about his religion, his original name, his mother’s country of birth, and his father’s origins. Pamela Geller of Atlas Shrugs has a reader named Techdude, a certified forensic computer examiner, who began an investigation into the authenticity of the document. Techdude lists as his credentials, membership in the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners, American College of Forensic Examiners, The International Society of Forensic Computer Examiners, and other similar organizations. As his rigorous analysis proceeded, someone tracked down his name and address and vandalized his car and hung a mutilated rabbit from his front door in order to frighten him to cease publication of the results of his investigation, which was the evidence that the birth certificate proved to be a fraud.

Political blogger Raquel Okyay sumed up the feelings of many fellow Americans who are sick and tired of being spoon fed political propaganda by the media. If people continue to be content to put certain media stars up on pedestals, neither questioning the facts nor holding these political leaders to account, they will then be ruled by the leaders they deserve.

Recovering a true copy of Obama’s birth certificate IS important to the general public, because he is being interviewed by us for the most important job in the world, the President of the United States. Unfortunately major networks or newspapers are not covering this story, because if they can keep you from learning new information about Obama, the better chance their candidate will win. This type of media, elitist attitude assumes that the average American fed their propaganda, spoon by spoon, are more or less too dumb to see the clear bias in their reporting. Ha! Welcome to the internet, where the voices of average Americans are heard.

Regardless of the candidate, trust is a big issue with the public, and if it is true that Obama’s campaign doctored his birth certificate, it is important that we know it. It doesn’t matter where the “rumor” started, what matters is that as American citizens we have the right by law to learn the truth, it’s called the “Freedom of Information Act”, and it’s at our disposal. So, don’t be scared off by a group of people not interested in truth finding, instead dig, dig and dig.

Under the Freedom of Information Act, Langbert acted on his right to obtain access to the authentic document and requested the same from the State of Hawaii. However, his request was denied in a letter from Janice Okubo, Public Information Officer of the Communications Office of the State of Hawaii who justified the denial by citing state law under a section of the Hawaii Revised Statutes which she claims overrides the federal provisions of FOIA. After exhaustive research Langbert found that the Hawaiian statutes do not contradict federal laws for free public access to information. Rather, “the statute specifically permits divulging birth certificate information to anyone who has a vital interest in the information” and public requests for the birth certificate of a presidential candidate constitutes a vital interest. However, he was further stonewalled after repeated inquiries.

Recognizing this was a dead end, Langbert soon discovered a petition circulating in the State of Illinois demanding that “Barack Hussein Obama produce documentation of American citizenship in the form of a legal birth certificate.” He focused on supporting this approach encouraging the residents of the State of Illinois to sign the petition, although as he noted, a previous petitioner who put the petition up on the website Birth Certificate Now was tracked down and threatened by Obama supporters to close his website. According to blogger Rorschach, the site operator reported:

Petition Closed

A veiled threat was made against myself and my family which included our home address, so I have decided to close the petition for good. It is truly sad that political discourse in our country has come to this.

As the volume of traffic was increasing to over 250 hits on Langbert’s blog in support of the Illinois petition, Blogger the blogspot engine owned by Google put a block on his account denying access to further blogging. Yesterday, I received the following in an email from him:

Dear Friends: I have been using blogspot for about a year and enjoy it very much. I am a professor of business at Brooklyn College and include notes from my academic reading as well as political blogs that are somewhat controversial on my blog, http://www.mitchell-langbert.com. I have had over 7,100 individual views since March 23, 08. I happen to be a Republican and favor John McCain for president. I have blogged some anti-Obama blogs, nothing that ought to be problematic from offensive content or similar kind of concern. However, somehow, right after I got an increase in traffic from some blogs I did on the Obama campaign, my access to the blog was blocked due to an allegation, which was of course false, that my blog is a “spam” blog.

Pamela Geller of Atlas Shrugs reported the news that at the same time seven other Blogger accounts critical of Obama were likewise closed down and added Langbert’s blog to the growing list. They each received email notices from the Blogger team indicating that their blogs were identified as potential spam blogs and that “you will not be able to publish posts to your blog until we review your site and confirm that it is not a spam blog.”

All indications are that this goes far beyond the level of the accidental and that Google and the Blogger team has abused its power by effectively censoring free speech in America. In a draft of a letter to Google’s Vice President, Vinton G. Cerf, Langbert warns the management of the danger of the Blogger platform being hijacked as a partisan tool by Obama’s supporters:

I raise this question with Google’s management because your policy against Spam has been turned into a policy that facilitates a malicious form Spam-the kind that suppresses free discourse and exploits your firm into becoming a malicious tool of the Obama campaign. The individuals who are reporting something like 10 anti-Obama sites as Spam are as culpable as those who would use your company’s blog site for unethical purposes. Hence, there needs to be better balance in your policy, and Google needs to improve its PR by coming out and publicly stating that you support free speech and that you will block further complaints from those who complained about my and the other blogs.

Langbert’s blog has just now become accessible, and he has posted a rejoinder excoriating the Obama campaign and their minions of likeminded thugs who would resort to violence and coercive measures to shut down free speech and censor contrary viewpoints rather than engage in civic minded debate. These “left-wing hooligans” will use any means of power at their disposal to silence and quash civil discourse and when positions of authority are not at hand, they will resort to raw violence, threats and intimidation to trample opposing views in order to achieve their socialist dreams. In his own words:

This incident sheds a bit more light on Mr. Obama. It is fair to judge a candidate by the nature of his supporters. Nor is this kind of behavior unrelated to a long history of left-wing hooliganism and violence. The ideology of socialism is the most macabre in the history of the world. Obama does not claim to be a socialist, but rather a “progressive”, a social democrat, who utilizes socialistic rhetoric but avoids being pinned down to appeal to his real clientele: investment bankers, Morgan Stanley, George Soros and Warren Buffett….

The naked lust for power cloaked in the garb of “change”, “justice”, “reform” or “revolution” is nothing new. There was enough blood let in the last century to drown all of Obama’s supporters. The willingness to defraud, lie, and manipulate is characteristic of a social democratic or socialist demagogue like Mr. Obama. The deceit that Mr. Obama’s followers exhibit characterizes his campaign’s values.

Professor Langbert’s vigorous activities to question, seek answers, and hold public officials accountable, should be held up as an exemplary model of the American citizen who is not content to be seduced by the force of ignorance or the status quo. His actions demonstrate one more reason why the repressive bastions of the media and academia are dying and the free blogosphere is alive and well, and any attempt by radical thugs to commandeer the tools of this venue as Google has allowed, must be vigorously fought.
