Take from those that earn a living (aka "the rich") and give to those that can not/will not earn a living (aka "the poor".) 2. Take the control away from the people to put it into the hands of politicians. Supporters can try to sugar coat Obama and create some cool words to mask socialism, but fact is Obama is attempting to turn our country into a socialist state.

And why shouldn't Hannity, Beck, or Dobbs put the pressure on the (Prez)? Isn't the Law of the Land good enough for HIM to obey? Why can't Obama just show his birth certificate and put the issue to rest? Obama knows that millions of citizens want to see it yet he continues to hide it. What/why is he hiding?<br />If I remember correctly, John McCain, third generation naval officer, was required to send representatives to court to establish his ‘natural born’ bona fides due to his actual live birth in the Panama canal zone while his father was serving in the U.S. Navy. In the presidential contest McCain chose not to pursue this issue and there may be actual evidence of Owebamas birth that proves his case. None of these circumstances, though, explains the reason for Owebama to resist displaying such evidence to the American people. The case can be referred to as a right wing nut smear, but unless and until an actual birth certificate is produced, this can only be assumed to be dissimulation or another from of deception.<br /><br />If you want a social security check, you will show the long form of your birth certificate. A certificate of live birth is not good enough, but according to you it's good enough proof to be the commander in chief of our armed forces.<br />The Constitution of the United States of America requires that only those born in the United States of America can become President of the United States of America. So what's the big problem with showing the American public the birth certificate? Why not? Is the law beneath HIM? Or is he waiting for Kenya to receive Statehood! Why do we have to take HIS word?<br />And why should YOU and your ilk suggest that they go after Lou Dobbs for his campaign to see the certificate? What crime did Lou Dobbs commit?<br />Your post make you sound like a idiot!<br />This and your posts about republicans and the others about Blupittbull show your incredible ignorance of what has taken place in this country during the last 7 months.<br />And the way that you the way rabid ‘libtards’ attack Sarah Palin anyone would think SHE was the one that was paying Lawyers hundreds of thousands of dollars to hide her original Birth Certificate.Ciao Babyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08107648279058305058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1883838569462983439.post-69010530372842587852009-08-04T07:33:09.975-04:002009-08-04T07:33:09.975-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Ciao Babyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08107648279058305058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1883838569462983439.post-29136078642971035952009-08-04T01:15:15.164-04:002009-08-04T01:15:15.164-04:00TAO, what you describe is called "astroturfin...TAO, what you describe is called "astroturfing," <a href="http://swashzone.blogspot.com/2009/08/how-astroturfing-and-town-hall.html" rel="nofollow">a short synopsis here</a>.(O)CT(O)PUShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07589336822561030860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1883838569462983439.post-24378673238872397172009-08-03T22:00:27.765-04:002009-08-03T22:00:27.765-04:00Lets see we had Whitewater...

You don't have to know very much about American history to recognize that such nonsense, when spread to the unstable, can result in tragedy and violence.
