Video: Birth Certificate OCR Theory Debunked

The following video debunks the theory put forward in a Fox News article by Jana Winter.  They report that the layers which appear in the pdf birth certificate could have been created if the document was scanned using OCR (optical character recognition) software.  In the first place, OCR is software that is used to convert images files so the document's text can be searched and edited.  Second, as the video below illustrates, there are nine different layers within this man-made document. Each layer was manipulated in various ways. For example, some text boxes were rotated 90 degrees, others were resized, etc.  If OCR software had been used to scan the birth certificate, none of those actions would have been possible.

Wonder how much longer Barack Obama will be smirking at the American public.

Sen. Obama Co-Sponsored A Resolution in 2008 Declaring McCain Was A Natural Born Citizen Because BOTH Parents Were American Citizens

By Bob Unruh

April 29, 2011

Perhaps it's a good thing that the U.S. Senate didn't take up a resolution on Barack Obama's status as a "natural born Citizen" in 2008 – as members did for GOP candidate Sen. John McCain while both were seeking the U.S. presidency.

The Democrat might not have qualified under the requirements the Senate, including Obama, a co-sponsor and then-senator, put in the resolution, including the demand that the candidate have "American citizen" parents.

First There Were Truthers, Then There Were Birthers, Now There Are Racers

Lesson learned from Alinsky. Nothing sweeter than turning the table on those who invented the pejorative "birthers". Anyone who calls you a racist because you distrust Obama or dare to question his policies, should now be called RACERs. Love it! Use it! Spread the word!

Chile's Privatized Social Security System Is A Resounding Success, Yet Our Congress Trembles At The Idea

By Monica Showalter
Investor's Business Daily
April 30, 2011

May Day — socialists' paean to class warfare — evokes memories of Soviet tanks in Red Square and leftist radicals rioting. But Chile celebrates the actual empowerment of workers.

May 1 marks the 30 years since Chile became the first nation to privatize its social security system. By turning workers into investors, the move solved an entitlement crisis much like the one America faces today.

"I like symbols, so I chose May Day as the birth date of Chile's 'ownership society' that allowed every worker to become a small capitalist," wrote Jose Pinera, former secretary of labor and social security and the architect of this pension revolution. He is now a senior fellow at the Cato Institute in Washington, D.C.

What he designed has succeeded beyond all expectations. Yet Congress remains reluctant to adopt anything like it, despite efforts by Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush to partially privatize an American system.

Obama Sr. Forced To Leave The U.S.

AmericanThinker.com
April 29, 2011

 Barack Hussein Obama Senior was forced to leave Harvard in 1964, prior to the completion of his doctoral thesis, according to documents released under the Freedom of Information Act.  Jack Cashill comments today on what they tell us about the fairy tale narrative propounded by candidate Obama (II), a story that is demonstrably false, yet was uncritically accepted by the media and political establishments.

The entire cache of documents can be seen here, and they tell quite a story about Obama Senior's truncated academic career. Sally Jacobs of the Boston Globe, writes about the elder Obama's career at Harvard and his subsequent decline and fall. She has biography of the BHO Senior coming out in July, and that should cast further light on Obama's birth certificate father. 

Obama's Embellished Biography

By Jack Cashill
AmericanThinker.com
April 29, 2011

Newly released documents from Barack Obama Sr.'s immigration file,  obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, justify "birther" doubts about the nativity story on which Barack Obama based his presidential campaign.

The documents were posted Thursday in an article by Heather Smathers on the Arizona Independent web site.  When I checked with Brian Wedemeyer, the Independent's managing editor, he confirmed, "They are legitimate documents."

A memo dated Aug. 31, 1961, from William Wood of the Immigration and Naturalization Services, does verify that Barack Obama, Sr. fathered a son, Barack Obama II, who was born in Honolulu on Aug, 4, 1961.  For the record, most birthers of my acquaintance believe that Obama was born in the United States.  That is not their issue.

Wood adds, however, that the child is "living with mother (she lives with her parents & subject resides at 1482 Alencastre St.)."  He adds that Obama's citizen spouse plans "to go to Washington State University next semester."

This document thoroughly undermines the Obama nativity story, a story that has been told almost as often as Jesus's but with nowhere near the accuracy.  Obama led with it in his 2004 convention speech and repeated it in the first sentence of his 2008 speech.  

Obama Administration Punishes Reporter

Obama Administration punishes reporter for using multimedia
Posted by Phil Bronstein
San Francisco Chronicle
April 28, 2011

The hip, transparent and social media-loving Obama administration is showing its analog roots. And maybe even some hypocrisy highlights.

White House officials have banished one of the best political reporters in the country from the approved pool of journalists covering presidential visits to the Bay Area for using now-standard multimedia tools to gather the news.

The Chronicle's Carla Marinucci - who, like many contemporary reporters, has a phone with video capabilities on her at all times - pulled out a small video camera last week and shot some protesters interrupting an Obama fundraiser at the St. Regis Hotel.

She was part of a "print pool" - a limited number of journalists at an event who represent their bigger hoard colleagues - which White House press officials still refer to quaintly as "pen and pad" reporting.
[snip]
What's worse: more than a few journalists familiar with this story are aware of some implied threats from the White House of additional and wider punishment if Carla's spanking became public. Really? That's a heavy hand usually reserved for places other than the land of the free.

Attorney Leo Donofrio: Bon Appetit Birth Certificate

By Leo Donofrio, Esq.
April 27, 2011

I predicted multiple times that President Obama would produce the original long form birth certificate when it best served him to do so. Today that prophecy was fulfilled. I have always maintained that the birth certificate issue was a red herring smoke screen protecting Obama from facing the true issue of his ineligibility – dual nationality.

Like Chester Arthur before him, Obama was protected from genuine questions regarding his birth status having been governed, as he admits, by the United Kingdom via the faux BC issue until October 27, 2008 when I instituted my law suit against the New Jersey Secretary of State alleging that neither Obama nor McCain were eligible.

I predicted over and again that when it served Obama best, he would feed you an original birth certificate on national TV. Bon appetit to those who allowed this conspiracy theory to take precedence over the genuine legal issue: how a person born owing certain allegiance to a foreign nation can be a natural born citizen of the United States?. Since the BC was played so perfectly by the Obama team, the genuine legal issue will now be more marginalized than ever.

They simply played a better game of chess. And due to this sick game, Obama now sets a precedent that anyone who hates this country, from Osama Bin Laden to Kim Jong Il, can have a child with an American woman and that child can be President. Obama’s defeat of the dual nationality issue, in both the courts and the media, means that the President’s parents do not have to be US citizens. If that is true, then the natural born citizen requirement in Article 2 Section 1 of the Constitution is basically rendered meaningless.

If a person born with dual allegiance can be President, then I don’t see the difference between a citizen and a natural born citizen. To become naturalized as a US citizen, one must at least swear an oath of allegiance to the US by renouncing all other allegiances. But a person such as Obama, who was born with dual allegiance is apparently not even required to renounce all previous allegiances under oath.

The BC was a conspiracy theory. The dual nationality issue is a legal question. Obama always controlled the issue of whether or not he would produce the BC. But the legal issue was never under his control. So he exercised as much control over it as possible by allowing the birth certificate to fester casting a huge shadow over his dual allegiance. Well played, sir.

Attorney Mario Apuzzo: Even With A Birth Certificate, Obama Still Is Not A Natural Born Citizen

Obama Releases His Alleged Long Form Certificate of Live Birth But He’s Still Not a Natural Born Citizen
By Mario Apuzzo, Esq.
April 28, 2011

On December 20, 2008, I published an essay entitled, The Two Constitutional Obstacles that Obama Has to Overcome to Be President, accessed at http://puzo1.blogspot.com/2008/12/two-constitutional-obstacles-obama-has.html.  I explained that Obama has to first conclusively show that he was born in Hawaii. Having done that, he must still show that he is an Article II “natural born Citizen” which is a child born in the country to citizen parents. I also explained that Obama may be able at some point to show that he was born in Hawaii, which would make him a “citizen” under the Fourteenth Amendment, but that he would not be able to show that he is an Article II “natural born Citizen.”

On April 27, 2011, putative President, Barack Obama, released to the public a digital image on the White House web site of his alleged long form Certificate of Live Birth. A majority of Americans have wanted Obama to confirm that he was in fact born in Hawaii. Yet, Obama refers to these concerned Americans as “sideshows and carnival barkers.” But worst than that, the document that Obama has released raises some very serious issues and confirms a critical piece of information.

Feds Propose Outrageous Barriers To Obtaining A Passport

These new passport applications are so onerous that they make it virtually impossible for us to obtain a passport. Why? Does the Obama government want to keep Americans within our country's borders so that they can milk us of every dollar we earn? Might there be other nefarious reasons? The proposed "supplemental" form is embedded below.  Look at the nature of the questions!

By Terresa Monroe-Hamilton
New Zeal
April 27, 2011

Do you remember the legislation that now dictates that passports must be shown at US land borders? It went into effect on June 1, 2009 I believe. That’s almost two years ago. Here is a link to the old passport application form. When this became law, many of us shrugged it off with the reasoning that is was for homeland security and that it was logical to show papers to get back into the country to prove who you were and that you were a documented American. Now I wonder…

I live about 100 miles from the Canadian border. Just a few years ago, we could drive over the border just by showing our driver’s license. We might have to submit to a brief car inspection and a rude border guard, but that was about it. Now, it’s “papers please!”

When I first heard on the Glenn Beck show on the radio yesterday about the new proposed passport forms, I instantly got very angry at what I perceived as a fourth amendment infringement on our rights. I then proceeded to look up the form and research it. That is why I did not post until today. I wanted to get my facts straight and cool off a bit before racing into battle. My conclusion – I have never had a passport in my life, but always intended to get one. It may very well be that I can now never get one and I was born and raised in America. I grew up as a construction brat and we moved an average of four times a year. There is no way I can ever find out all the schools I went to and all the places I have lived. In my life, I have worked at casinos and applied for security clearances as well. They only asked for the last 10 years. What the government is now asking for, effectively bans me from ever getting a passport. It bans me from traveling legally over the Canadian border as well. I find myself a prisoner in my own homeland. I am beyond furious over this.

Obama Is Practicing Chicago Politics-of-Revenge Against Texas Citizens


Editorial
Investor's Business Daily
April 28, 2011

Politics: Asked last week why he's so unpopular in Texas, the only thing our president could say was "Republicans." Now that Texas has been lashed by tornadoes, his curious refusal to aid the state suggests the depth of his dislike.

Two weeks ago, Texas Gov. Rick Perry pleaded with the president in a 16-page letter to declare a large number of Texas counties disaster areas after historic wildfires ravaged over a million acres across the state, burning 350 homes and killing three.

A bad combination of hurricane rains, freezing weather and subsequent drought have made ideal conditions for the inferno during this tornado season.

Perry's request was a routine effort to free up federal disaster funds so the state wouldn't have to fight the fires alone. Texas should have been granted it easily.

But to date, nobody's gotten back to him — though other states with natural disasters, such as Oklahoma next door, got the declarations they needed. North Carolina got its declaration a mere four days after it made its request. So far, the White House seems to be saying Texas can burn.

This is no isolated incident.

Obama Challengers: Doc proves president ineligible

By Bob Unruh
WorldNetDaily
April 27, 2011

The "Certificate of Live Birth" document released by the White House today, if authentic, assures Americans that their president was born in Hawaii as he has said, according to two participants in a lawsuit who challenged the president's tenure in the Oval Office.
But they say it also proves he's ineligible under the Constitution's requirements to be president.
According to Mario Apuzzo, the attorney who argued the Kerchner vs. Obama case, and the lead plaintiff, retired Navy Cmdr. Charles Kerchner, the documentation reveals that Barack Obama Sr., a Kenyan national subject to the jurisdiction of the United Kingdom, was the father when Barack Obama Jr. was born.
That, they say, would disqualify Obama because of the Founders' requirement in the Constitution that a president be a "natural born Citizen," commonly understood during the era of the beginnings of the United States to mean a citizen offspring of two citizen parents.

QUESTION: How Did Official Hawaiian Documents Record the Race of Blacks in 1961?

I raise this question because the long-form Certificate of Live Birth released by the White House today describes Obama Sr.'s race as "African."  That word is common in today's usage, but because political correctness has renamed many cultural groups over time, was that the designation used for all black babies born at Kapiolani Hospital in the 1960s?  Perhaps someone will release their birth certificate from that time as a comparison.  In the meantime, I'm still searching for an answer.

Click to enlarge
Interestingly, in the September 1968 issue of Ebony Magazine, on page 27, there is an article titled "The Negro In Hawaii".  Throughout the article, the author never uses the term African, just "Negro."  The article offers a balanced debate about the pros and cons of being a "Negro" in paradise.  If black people of the 1960s era referred to themselves as "Negro," did the hospitals record the births of black babies as "Negro?"

Here's an excerpt from the article:
The interviewer asked how they would feel about having a Negro as a co-worker. The answer was unanimous: no problem. When asked how they would feel about a Negro as their immediate supervisor, again the answer was unanimous: no problem.


How they would feel if a Negro bought the house next door? A few had doubts, but again the majority fully accepted the possibility.


But then came the question: how would they feel if their daughter dated a Negro . . . or if she married a Negro. Suddenly the picture changed: the great majority drew the line here. They said, in effect, no dice.


How would they characterize Hawaii's attitude toward the Negro? Prejudiced, unprejudiced or partly prejudiced? They stated unanimously: partly prejudiced.


"People want equality for the Negro," said one, "so long as it doesn't affect them personally."


One local Caucasian believed that Hawaii tolerates the Negro because of the small number living here, but that the state still does not accept them.

So, if the state didn't accept black people, would it be reasonable to think that they probably listed a black child's race on a birth certificate as "Negro," rather than African?

What do you think?

BREAKING: White House Releases Obama's Long Form Birth Certificate

Mark Knoller, CBS White House correspondent says he has obtained Barack Obama's long form birth certificate.  If this is genuine, perhaps NOW we can debate the bigger issue--can a person with dual citizenship be defined NATURAL born, as opposed to NATIVE born?  Natural born means the child was born in the Republic to parents who were BOTH American citizens. Native born simply means the child was born in the Republic to parents of any nationality.  The historical records say NO, as this video explains.

If Obama Is Natural-Born, Why Suppress Evidence?

By John F. Gaski
Investor's Business Daily
April 27, 2011

Second of Two Parts

So what of the cumulative evidence against our maybe-president's citizenship?  Let the reader judge the balance and weight of a summary appraisal. (Curious machinations over a crucial piece of evidence, a birth certificate of all things, changed the balance for me.)

1. If B.H. Obama is a natural-born U.S. citizen, those who flack for him should be able to do better than the unpersuasive defense they have offered.

More specifically damning, haven't you noticed how Obama apologists rarely offer a substantive argument for his citizenship at all, but instead use personal attack, invective, sophistry, demagogy and ridicule? The bottom line: If you believe that the artist formerly known as Barry Soetoro really is a natural U.S. citizen, prove it.  If the subject of the controversy cannot, others are not likely to be able to either.

(When this writer uses attack, ridicule, etc., it is not gratuitous but grows from the substance, such as the appearance of an insidious political provocation and national existential emergency, as here.)

Agnostic's Dreaded Verdict: Birthers Are (Mainly) Right

Finally!  A very serious article in a very serious newspaper regarding Barack Obama's eligibility challenge. This is the first in a series of two articles in Investor's Business Daily. This article consumes over half of the editorial page.

By John F. Gaski
Investor's Business Daily
April 26, 2011

First of Two Parts

I will give you the unpleasant punch line upfront: There is sufficient evidence to reasonably conclude that Barack Obama is probably not a U.S. citizen, therefore constitutionally ineligible to be president of the United States.

The fact that he has been serving in that office would then be not only the most audacious hoax in world history — at least since the Trojan Horse. It also creates a constitutional crisis of the first magnitude that will take decades to straighten out.

We will now approach this one step at a time to break the news to you gradually.

'Truth, honor and freedom will hit its mark and bring down the two headed evil Goliath of the liberal media and the Obama regime in 2012'

Tea Party: David Vs Two Headed Goliath: Obama Administration/Liberal Media
By Lloyd Marcus, Pround Unhyphenated American
April 24, 2011

On the O' Reilly Factor TV show, Dennis Miller was asked his thoughts regarding the media's response to Obama's numerous flip flops. Miller said the media will report whatever Obama does in a positive light.

We patriots are well aware of the liberal media's love affair with Obama. And yet, for some reason, the reality of Miller's comment hit me hard right between the eyes. I thought, “Oh my gosh. This is not funny. Our country is in serious trouble”.

Not only must we defeat the Obama administration, we must “take on” and defeat the liberal mainstream media as well; two powerful well funded entities committed to the fundamental transformation of America. Lord, help us!

Patriots, we can, will and must defeat this two headed evil Goliath. Despite the Left's shock and awe public relations slanderous attacks on the tea party and our candidates, we took the House of Representatives. Thus proving, they can be beaten!

I am so sick of advisors cautioning us conservatives to “walk on eggs” when dealing with the liberal media. It has even been suggested that we stop using the term “tea party” due to the negative image created by the media.

Patriots, even if we change our name to the “Happy Go Lucky Nice People Movement”, we will still be targeted for destruction by the media. What part of they hate us and want us to fail do our advisors not understand? The liberal media is going to put a negative spin on whatever we say.

Now, am I advocating saying stupid provocative things? Of course not. I am advocating fearlessly and aggressively attacking Obama's horrific record. Call out the liberal media on their bias reporting. Stop allowing the democrats and their media minions to set the rules of engagement. Patriots, the stakes are far too high to wimp out foolishly seeking approval from those actively pursuing our total destruction.

Again, I say, what do we have to lose by confronting the democrats and the liberal media? They are going to trash us regardless.

Yes, they will call you a racist. I say this in love, “Get over it”. Throughout U.S. history many have suffered far greater and paid the ultimate sacrifice. Why? Because America is worth it.

Tons of articles have been written calling me a stupid self loathing nigger, an Uncle Tom, a tea party minstrel, a traitor, a sellout and a clown. It all rolls off of my back. I know I am on the right side. So, why should I care what evil stupid people say or think of me? But most of all, my strength and peace comes through knowing God is with us and America is worth it.

Like little David in the Bible, we must boldly confront the two headed Goliath, Obama administration/liberal media.

Why do you think Trump and Palin are doing so well in the polls? Both are boldly and unapologetically “takin' it” to Obama and are not kowtowing to the liberal media. Patriots are frustrated with republicans pandering and trying to “play nice” with a democrat party and liberal media who are relentlessly and viciously attempting to kill us politically. The democrats and the liberal media take no prisoners.

Rush Limbaugh says the democrats and liberal media will tell you who they fear most by the intensity of their attacks. Who has been numbers one, two and three on the democrats' and liberal media's excrement list. Answer: Donald Trump, Sarah Palin and the Tea Party. Brothers and sisters, we can beat them!

How do we defeat them? In addition to ceasing to fear Obama and his liberal media co-conspirators, we must continue doing what we have been doing. Patriots must continue following their passion and using their gifts and talents wherever needed in our extraordinary divinely inspired Tea Party Movement.

We are blessed with great minds on our side; patriots are writing books, organizing and conceiving various strategies to take back our country.

While some lament that we lack a central leadership organization or charismatic leader, I am grateful for all of our numerous patriot groups and committed individuals. Each are driven to politically defeat Obama in their own way. Their spirit is the tea party.

Just as God's grace guided David's stone to topple Goliath, our stone of truth, honor and freedom will hit its mark and bring down the two headed evil Goliath of the liberal media and the Obama regime in 2012.

Americans 'hope against hope that President Obama is a symptom of a foreign ill rather than a domestic one'

By Benjamin Shapiro
Front Page magazine
April 22, 2011

Two days ago, Matt Drudge linked to a new book by Jerome Corsi, unflinchingly titled Where’s the Birth Certificate? The book immediately leapt to number one on Amazon.com, where it has remained ever since.  The media has shown its usual incredulity at the indisputable stupidity of the American people.  How could so many people question President Obama’s birthplace?  How could they wonder about his origins?  Are they all simply racist?

The answer, of course, is that Americans are desperately seeking an answer to a simple question: why does President Obama appear to be so un-American?  The term un-American here is not synonymous with anti-American (though Obama has been that on occasion); instead, it merely signifies that President Obama is unconcerned with typical American principles and traditions.  He sees capitalism as selfish and evil, religion as dangerous and oppressive; he sees the Constitution as antiquated and entrepreneurialism as exploitative.  He is the representative of the Fareed Zakaria ideology at work, celebrating the post-American world.

Texas Redistricting Plan Punishes Texas Conservatives

By Freedoms Truth
RedState.com
April 22, 2011

Texas Redistricting is underway, and a shocking blunder is about to happen in Texas. The Republican majority is about to pass, at the behest of the supposedly Republican Speaker, a redistricting plan that punishes conservative Republicans so badly, it might as well have been a Democratic gerrymander. Coming off the heels of an amazing Republican victory last November, the plan forces Republican incumbents in 8 districts to be paired off, and curiously, many of them are conservatives and freshmen Reps who opposed Speaker Straus.

Earth Day Co-Founder Killed, Composted Girlfriend

April 21, 2011

Ira Einhorn was on stage hosting the first Earth Day event at the Fairmount Park in Philadelphia on April 22, 1970. Seven years later, police raided his closet and found the "composted" body of his ex-girlfriend inside a trunk.

A self-proclaimed environmental activist, Einhorn made a name for himself among ecological groups during the 1960s and '70s by taking on the role of a tie-dye-wearing ecological guru and Philadelphia’s head hippie. With his long beard and gap-toothed smile, Einhorn — who nicknamed himself "Unicorn" because his German-Jewish last name translates to "one horn"  —advocated flower power, peace and free love to his fellow students at the University of Pennsylvania. He also claimed to have helped found Earth Day.

Obama is Lying With Great Audacity

It's unlikely today's student of history is even familiar with the debtor's prison of past centuries "home" even to innocent children, bearing the unfortunate sins of their parents.  Today's student may be even less likely to know debtor's prisons seem to be making a formidable comeback.  Worse, the debtor's prison of which today's youth and certainly their offspring are now born, is of their own government's making.


Obama continued his campaign for the youth vote in Annandale, Virginia this week, giving lip service to America "living within its means," and throwing out soft bribes of free-flowing Pell Grants.  After all, who needs a defense budget in the new, borderless world order?

Obama Snoozes While US Entitlements Are On The Verge Of Crashing

Cartoon by Erin Bonsteel

Amb. Alan Keyes Interview on Fox Business News About Natural Born Citizens

In this video interview on America's Nightly Scorebored on Fox Business News, Ambassador Alan Keyes explains in a very reasoned and factual way that the natural born eligibility issue involves far more than the birth certificate. For the first time we hear in a popular public forum, the requirement that both parents should be citizens for the child to be declared natural born. Keyes states private foundations, politicians, and public figures cannot provide the definitive answer. He says the courts must adjudicate this constitutional question. Enjoy.

'Republicans should insist that any surpluses created by this comprehensive deficit reduction package are to immediately buy back debt'

By Noel Sheppard
AmericanThinker.com
April 21, 2011

The media were enthralled by former Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan's suggestion on Sunday's Meet the Press that we should immediately end the Bush tax cuts and raise the marginal brackets to what they were in Clinton's last year in office.

Before conservatives summarily cast this aside, maybe it should be considered with one caveat: we also go back to former House Speaker Newt Gingrich's spending levels in 1999.

Consider the numbers before thinking me crazy.

NPR: Breathing Life Into Bland, Blunt Birth Certificates

Note that Jake Halpern makes the typical journalistic mistake of calling Obama's "CertificaTION of Live Birth" a "CertificATE of Live Birth". As the two images below demonstrate, there is a huge difference between the two documents.  Halpern's sloppy mistake is representative of the way the media confuses the public. Is this error accidental or deliberate? Other than this mistake, Halpern has a surprisingly interesting take on the subject.


Breathing Life Into Bland, Blunt Birth Certificates
By Jake Halpern
National Public Radio - All Things Considered
April 19, 2011

Jake Halpern teaches journalism at Yale University.

President Obama's birth certificate, the one that his campaign released in 2008, is one seriously boring document. It tells us almost nothing about his actual birth — other than the bare-bones details. I assumed all certificates were like this until one day, a few weeks ago, when my dad discovered his father's birth certificate — which was issued in Poland, 107 years ago.

The document is packed with juicy details — I won't go so far as to say it's a swashbuckling tale of adventure — but, in terms of story development, it's way better than Obama's. It mentions, for example, the name of the presiding midwife — a woman named Chaje Rader from the town of Hutar. It also provides the name of the guy who performed the circumcision — Mr. Benzion Klein — and it even indicates that Klein was the town's butcher. This makes sense. I mean, you wouldn't want the town's blacksmith doing the deed — would you? The document notes that Grandpa was an illegitimate child. There is even a part of the document offering the name of the godparents who witness the birth.

The Substitution of Rhetoric for Thought

The Pitfalls of Rhetorical Exuberance, or The Substitution of Rhetoric for Thought

Harold Laski was an intellectual of the Left who inhabited the British Political Scene during the 30s and 40s. An academic with the gift of fiery eloquence, Laski bestrode the Socialist League like a popinjay, not afraid to advocate violence if the Labour Partydid not obtain what it needed by general consent.” He reveled in the great triumph of Socialism at the end of the Second World War, when the British dumped the iconic war hero Winston Churchill and embraced the brave new world promised by the amiable and stoic Clement Atlee and his Labor Party.

Laski was cerebral, convinced and convincing. He was also apt to be intolerant, impatient and ill-disciplined. He irritated Atlee, whom he considered a mediocrity, to the extent that the Prime Minister issued a famous laconic rebuke that effectively ended Laski’s career: “ ... a period of silence on your part would be welcome.

More cutting still was the verdict of Ayn Rand who placed him as the villain Ellesworth Toohey in The Fountainhead. Even the great Democratic Establishment Historian Art Schlesinger could not resist a crack. In Harold Laski: a Life on the Left he writes: “He (Laski) gave the highest value to individual freedom but never explained how it could survive without diversification of ownership. His fatal fluency enabled him to glide over the hard questions. His besetting sin was the substitution of rhetoric for thought.

Call it a debt hawk’s dream, but Rep. Tom Reed introduced a resolution last week to install a ticking clock to blare the national debt directly onto the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives.

President Obama on Thursday hosted Emir Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani of Qatar, otherwise known as the Boss of Al-Jazeera, for a meeting in the Oval Office. Obama called him “Your Highness” and “His Highness,” even though the Emir dropped his robes of royalty for a business suit. Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al-Thani financially sponsors Al-Jazeera and its most famous personality, anti-American and anti-Semitic cleric Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, who has just returned to Egypt from Qatar to supervise the transformation of that one-time U.S. ally into an Islamic state.
