In 1988 when George H. W. Bush was running for President he used that ever so famous line “Read My Lips: No New Taxes.” This line, written by the elegant Peggy Noonan, has become a buzzphrase connected to the word “Liar.” He raised taxes and lost re-election.
It’s time for Read My Lips: Take 2
For most of April and all of May, Leo Donofrio was silent on his blog. But he has returned in June with some excellent posts:
Why do both Obama’s State Department and the Senate require two US citizen parents for those born abroad to attain natural born citizen status?

The purpose of this post was to drive traffic to Leo’s posts.
I’ve unexpectedly received traffic from Leo’s blog (my links must have generated pingback comments in his posts). For people who are interested in what I have had to say about Obama’s eligiblilty, I, like Leo, believe that our founders intended “Natural born Citizen” to be defined as it was defined by Vattel, and by that definition Obama himself has made it clear that he is not qualified. But even for those who think that birth location alone (without regard to citizenship of parents) is all that is required to be a “Natural born Citizen”, consider this…
The only “birth document” that the Obama campaign ever produced was pronounced a forgery by document experts, and never “validated” by the state of Hawaii.
No official birth document for Barack Obama has ever been released by the state of Hawaii.
Hawaiian officials have never put out an official statement saying that Obama was born in Hawaii.
In each of the 50 states, the Secretary of State took Nancy Pelosi’s word (!) that Barack Obama was legally qualified under the Constitution of the United States to hold the office of President and Commander-in-Chief.
The Associated Press lied.
Annenberg Political Fact Check lied.
Members of Congress “outsourced” the responsibility of validating Soetoro/Obama’s eligibility, and accepted the lies told by the Associated Press and Annenberg Political Fact Check.
I included the actual text of a letter I received from one of my Senators in this post.

Barack Hussein Obama has long been known for telling people what they want to hear. At Harvard Law,
People had a way of hearing what they wanted in Mr. Obama’s words. … According to Mr. Ogletree, students on each side of the debate thought he was endorsing their side. “Everyone was nodding, Oh, he agrees with me”.
Now, Obama is telling Muslims, atheists, and even those Christians who are Biblically illiterate, what they want to hear, so that all of those groups are nodding, “Oh, he agrees with me.”
…so long as you’re attacking from the left.“ (H/T HotAir)
The YouTube video will be directly embedded in comment below. Look also for a response to the attacks on Bush.
The words “establishment” and “endorsement” have very different meanings.
If I “establish” a restaurant that is totally different than if I “endorse” a restaurant.
If I “establish” a restaurant, I create it, I own it, and I operate it.
If I “endorse” a restaurant, I am just a customer who likes it enough to tell someone else about it.
The first Amendment prevents Congress from making any law respecting an “establishment” of religion. Our Government is not allowed to create, own, or operate a religion (as was previously done by the Government in England with the Church of England).
The first Amendment does NOT prevent Congress from making any law respecting an “endorsement” of religion. Our Congress has always “endorsed” Christianity, from the moment of the opening prayer at the very first session of Congress.
When the President gives the State of the Union address, do you know what is above his head, LITERALLY CARVED IN STONE?
And do you know whose image is carved in stone on the opposite wall?

There were many influences on Peoples Temple and on Jonestown. Peoples Temple was a blend of the beliefs and movements of the 1960’s and 1970’s, and Liberation Theology was one the most influential of those beliefs, a belief that still shapes the world we live in today.
“Black Liberation Theology” is Racist and Marxist
“Reverend” Wright: “Them Jews” – Oops! “Them Zionists“
Many who studied the subject believe Liberation Theology began in 1961 when in an unprecedented act, the World Council of Churches (WCC) invited the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC) to join the organization. Unknown to the WCC, the ROC was a KGB appendage, staffed by intelligence officers. I know this well because of my experience in Israel and Jerusalem.
The Soviets took advantage of the invitational opportunity and sent Metropolitan Nikodim (then of Leningrad), the ROC’s second ranking prelate, to the WCC assembly. He espoused a doctrine known as Liberation Theology which was eagerly accepted by Latin American priests and bishops. Its revolutionary philosophy soon became a vehicle for violent change in Latin America as well as Africa and Southeast Asia.
They proposed to combine the teachings of Jesus with the teachings of Marx as a way of justifying violent revolution to overthrow the economics of capitalism.
The eyes are the window to the soul…
“To thee I do commend my watchful soul,
Ere I let fall the windows of mine eyes.”William Shakespeare, “King Richard III” Act V, Sc.3, Line 117
The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness!
