Jim Crum has written the following letter to each of the US Supreme Court justices: Scalia, Souter, Thomas, Roberts, Ginsburg, Stevens, Breyer, Kennedy, and Alto:
The Honorable Associate Justice Antonin Scalia
United States Supreme Court
One First Street, N.E.,
Washington, D.C. 20543
Re: Mr. Obama Birth Certificate
Justice Scalia:
By now you must be aware of the various litigants and the constitutional issues surrounding their requests to secure a valid and authentic long form birth certificate for Mr. Obama.
The long form birth certificate is an exact photocopy of the original document that was prepared by the hospital or the doctor at the time of the child’s birth. It typically includes some very specific information such as the birth place, the doctors’ names, the name of the parent(s), as well as residence. It will usually include a signature of the parent and the physician.
It would appear that instead of resolving the matter by furnishing the authentic document for review, the defendant has chosen to obstruct the matter with legal maneuver and judicial ju-jitsu. Perhaps some might see this approach as appropriate, yet candidly it does not serve:
• The defendant whose eligibility and qualifications may be unfairly besmirched
• The electors who may unknowingly certify an ineligible candidate
• The Republic whose laws must be followed
• The nation who must come to consensus over the candidates legitimacy to serve
• The Supreme Court whose powers will be eroded if they refuse to act quickly
I make no determination to the truthfulness of the allegations being pressed to your body for review. Neither should yourselves, or anyone else, until such a time as the documents are secured for inspection, authenticated, and made public.
It is time to do the job for which you were appointed. Specifically, factually determine Mr. Obama’s eligibility to serve the office as described in the US Constitution.
Sincerely,
Jim Crum

$350 Billion of Paulson Bailout for Foreign Investors
Contrairimairi has forwarded this video from Count Us Out. Based on C-SPAN and CNBC clips, Count us Out says that the bailout was not targeted to help the US economy but rather to in large part bail out foreign investors, specifically in China, Britain, Australia and Germany. It seems to me that decades of public indifference to Federal Reserve policy on the false assumption that monetary issues are technical economics rather than political may be coming to an end. Wall Street is twirling the American dog around by its tail, and the public is going be yelping about how much trusting the media's Fed apologists and the Wall Street apologia that has spewed from Ivy League universities has cost it. Americans have put up with declining real wages,caused by the Fed's inflation, for three decades. Now they are witnessing the financial system's destruction of the real economy.
What seems to me to have happened is that sub-prime mortgages were packaged and sold to foreign dollar holders. The sellers, Wall Street, defrauded the foreign investors. The foreign investors are now ready to dump these assets. They may also be threatening to retaliate by broader dumping of dollars.
The investors in other countries may not be all that greedy, which is what Count Us Out argues, but just suckers to Wall Street's fraud. Let's see what the alternatives are.
1. The bailout bill is not implemented. Foreign debt holders sell US securities on the market. They are angry because they've been cheated. The dollar plummets. Perhaps they retaliate against Wall Street and the dollar in other ways. The stock market falls. US taxpayers aren't on the hook for the bailout money. The dollar may cease to be the world's currency.
2. The bailout bill is implemented. Foreign debt holders sell the US securities to the government. The dollar plummets. Foreign investors are not angry and do not retaliate against Wall Street and the dollar. The stock market holds firm or goes up. US taxpayers are on the hook for the bailout money. The dollar continues as the world's currency.
Either way the dollar plummets. With no bailout, a falling stock market would hurt American stockholders, but a broader swathe of taxpayers would be relieved of the cost of the bailout. The dollar might cease to be the world's currency now rather than later. This would hurt consumers in the short run, but impose discipline on the economy in the long run.
Contrairimairi, like many Americans, is upset. She wrote this to me in an e-mail:
>"I don't know about anyone else, but if you thought I was angry before, you ain't seen nothin' yet! The handwriting is on the wall, and I have read it. I am going to start a new round of DEMANDS to Congress. First, STOP this bailout! NOW! Second, BEGIN PROSECUTIONS! I want Barney Frank, Nancy Pelosi, Chris Dodd, Barack Obama, Paulson, Bernahnke, Kashkari, Chris Cox, and anyone else involved in this mess BEHIND BARS! That would include, of course, all their "inside friends", Raines, Johnson, Pritzker, and all the others whose names escape me at the moment, because their are just too %*#@ many of them!
>I think the "Call to Arms" has already passed, and we are smack dab in the middle of this thing. I am gearing up for a whole new round of "taking officials to task" for all that is going on. We formed a revolution 200 odd years ago against taxation without representation. Well, guess what? We have just been hit with the LARGEST "Taxation without Representation" in history. We are the ones who will foot this bill. The American people TOLD our legislators to vote "NO!" on this bailout and they did NOT listen. We were NOT represented! Few of the representatives elected "For the People" remembered us, our children, or our grand children. They said "NO!" to performing their sworn duty to uphold the Constitution. Anyone who thinks the American People should not revolt AGAIN, has their head stuck firmly either in the sand, or somewhere else where the sun can't find it! I'm off to start making my demands, hope everyone else will jump on board!
>PLEASE watch the videos included in this info [see above]. You won't need to heat your house if it's cold where you are, this will BOIL your blood!

Gays Attack Lansing Church--Concerned Women for America Responds
I just received the following e-mail from Jamie Hope:
>I don't know if you have seen this on the internet I think Bill O'Reilly is going to do a segment on it on Monday. A church was attacked by this group...Attached is an open letter on the incident that I put together in response.

An Open Letter on the Homosexual Attack on Mount Hope Church in Lansing, Michigan
Jamie Hope, Legislative Liaison, Concerned Women for America of Michigan
We as a Christian community in America are responding as a unified Body of Christ to the outrageous assault on Mount Hope Church in Lansing, Michigan, last Sunday, November 9, 2008, by a group of radical self-avowed anarchist gay and lesbian individuals known as “Bash Back.” We are addressing our American Christian community, law enforcement, the media and the groups responsible for and associated with this assault on our civil liberties.
For those in our nation that have not heard of this incident, below is a clip from an article by worldnetdaily.com that best describes the attack on this church:
"'Jesus was gay,' they shouted among other profanities and blasphemies as they rushed the platform. Some forced their way through rows of women and kids to try to hang a profane banner from the balcony while others began tossing fliers into the air. Two women made their way to the pulpit and began to kiss," he wrote.
He cited the Bash Back organization's own announcement of other items members brought into the church, including "a megaphone, noise makers, condoms, glitter by the bucket load, confetti, pink fabric ..."
According to the alternative Lansing City Pulse – which reported it was notified of the protest ahead of time and sent a reporter along instead of warning the church – the protesters also screamed at parishioners and pulled the church facility's fire alarm. Printed material protesters distributed said, "We specialize in confronting homophobia, transphobia and every and all other forms of oppression."

We as a Christian community in America would first like to address the group ”Bash Back.” While what you did was vile, especially in the presence of children, we forgive you. However, it is unfortunate that you have taken the message of a church and their Biblical beliefs and twisted them into a lie to benefit your cause. First and foremost, Mount Hope Church, and any true Christian church, does not preach hate. Yes, we preach the word of God that states homosexuality is a sin. Mount Hope Church upholds this belief. However, Pastor Dave Williams along with his associate pastors have stated many times that homosexuality is no more a sin than drunkenness, gossip, cohabiting heterosexuals, etc. Mount Hope Church is also very clear that we as Christians are to love one another Christian and non-Christian in spite of our differing views and beliefs. To promote this church as a “hate church” is a satanically-inspired lie to justify crude and lawless behavior. In fact we challenge you to buy or download Pastor Dave’s sermons and find one time where he preaches and promotes hate for homosexuals as people. You will find he condemns the sin not the person. And for any other church in this country that does preach hate, including for homosexuals, they are not of our flock, and we do not count them as Christians. They are counterfeits. Oh and on a side note, we are not a phobic group of individuals. Phobia is a fear. We are not homophobic; we are Bible believing Christians.
We as a Christian community in America would also like to address the media. Your slanted coverage and liberal bias toward our community is coming to an end. We are taking back our rights, our country and standing up for our God. The fact that the only local news coverage (other than the internet) was the Lansing State Journal is a sad testament to your journalistic integrity. The four local news stations, WILX TV 10, WLNS TV 6, WLAJ 3, WSYM 47 failed miserably in their ability to accurately report the news in their community. The fact that a supposed journalist from Lansing City Pulse was aware that this attack was going to happen in a church where children were present shows the selfish ambition and corrupt morals of people who look out for their own interests ahead of the safety of children. This was a heinous assault on a group of innocent church attendees by a radical self-avowed lawless group and not one station bothered to even report this story. If this were a group of church people that stormed a gay and lesbian rally with terrorist style clothing and defaced their property and told them they were going to hell for being gay, this would not only make local news but their would be a public cry from CNN, MSNBC, NBC, CBS, ABC, etc. There would be protests and riots in the streets. But because you have shown especially through the election that you are biased and liberal and no longer “just report the news” but push your personal agendas, we are firing you. You are fully discredited until you begin reporting unbiased news.
Law enforcement, where were you? You were at the church, but did you do your job? Why were there no arrests? We would like answers. From the story reported, it appears this group has already labeled themselves as not conforming to the laws of our society (anarchy). They assaulted a church, defaced property, disturbed the peace, potentially emotionally abused children for exposing them to a threatening environment and yet, no arrests. We as a Christian community are calling upon local law enforcement and the Attorney General to investigate this incident, arrest those responsible and charge them with the appropriate crimes. Just because we are a forgiving people does not mean these individuals should not face the consequences of their actions. We need to hold people accountable for their actions when they break the law. By your silence and lack of urgency in this matter you have sent a very clear and powerful message to radical groups and to every Christian in America.
For the true Christian church and not those counterfeit Christians who preach hate and false doctrine, it is time for us to unite with one another and separate ourselves from the counterfeits. We may vary in our denominations, but we all believe Jesus is the Son of God and the only way to heaven. For those churches and organizations that espouse these beliefs, we need to work together and come together to show the rest of America that we are a voice in this country, we are a community in this country and we deserve to enjoy our freedoms in this country without fear of persecution. It is a common characteristic for Christians to love their enemy, pray for their enemy and forgive. But do not let us forget the teachings of Jesus himself in John 2:13-17, Matthew 21:12-13, Mark 11:15-18 and Luke 19:45-46. When it was time for the Jewish Passover, Jesus went up to Jerusalem. In the temple courts he found men selling cattle, sheep and doves, and others sitting at tables exchanging money. So he made a whip out of cords, and drove all from the temple area, both sheep and cattle; he scattered the coins of the moneychangers and overturned their tables. To those who sold doves he said, "Get these out of here! How dare you turn my Father's house into a market!"
Jesus was outraged. He did not walk into the temple and tell those people who were desecrating the temple, “I will pray for you brother; it’s okay.” No, he acted and destroyed what was an abomination in the eyes of God. He defended God and drove out all those that were discrediting God by their corrupt actions.
We as a Christian community in America no longer can afford to stay within our churches and act as “Sunday” Christians. We who are good are now being called evil, and those who are evil are now being called good. Some of this is due to our own inaction. It is time we revive our Christian beliefs and act as a unified Body of Christ. Speak out, act out, call your representatives, senators, news stations and write to your papers that this will no longer be tolerated among the Body of Christ.

Breaking: President George W. Bush Confused about Definition of "Capitalism"
Speaking at the Manhattan Institute yesterday, George W. Bush said that he believes in capitalism, arguing that:
"the surest path to...growth is free markets and free people."
It seems to me that President Bush is confused. Free markets and free people are by definition independent of government. Dictionary.com defines capitalism as:
"an economic system in which investment in and ownership of the means of production, distribution, and exchange of wealth is made and maintained chiefly by private individuals or corporations, esp. as contrasted to cooperatively or state-owned means of wealth."
President Bush has:
-used a government agency, the Federal Reserve Bank, to pump endless amounts of money into the economy for the past eight years causing massive distortion, over-building, over-purchasing and economic dislocation
-aimed to solve these government-induced problems, induced during his administration, by pumping even more money into the system
-caused the federal government to take a $150 billion stake in an insurance company, AIG, to help his cronies on Wall Street
-caused Congress to authorize $750 billion in bailout money to interfere with market forces
-overseen massive growth in the federal government budget
-failed to cut any government agencies or budgets of note
It seems to me that President Bush is confused. Capitalism means private ownership. The bailout his chief economic advisor, Henry Paulson, has engineered involves new breakthroughs toward public ownership.
The current instability in the economy is indeed due to big government, specifically the past 28 years of Federal Reserve policy, mostly during Republican administrations.
The Bush presidency has convinced me that northeasterners and anyone associated with a university in the northeast ought not to be allowed near the levers of power. President Bush, a graduate of the Harvard Business School, does not seem to know what capitalism means. He does not know what markets are. He is an economic illiterate. He is the symptom of an underlying problem. Progressivism, the dominant ideology in the northeast, is opposed to freedom and opposed to free markets.
