Posts (dated articles with a feature that allows for comments from readers) are below the front page.

Same with links to other websites, videos and blog archives. They are on the right side of the blog where opposite posts in a narrow column.

SCROLL DOWN if you want to research or get sources. Use the "labels" feature and simply click on the topic or person that interests you. An idiosyncracy of this format is that whenever you click on a label or older post, you will again see the front page. Nothing we can do about that.

The Oath of the President of the United States


US Constitution, Article II, Section 1


Before he enter on the execution of his office, he shall take the following oath or affirmation: "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States."


The case could be made that Obama has violated the oath of the office of the Presidency of the United States in not closing the borders at the threat of a global pandemic of the Mexican flu, the violations of the U.S. Constitution in the CIFTA, and his refusal to clarify the circumstances of his birth. Think about it.

Northern Leopard Frog to be "protected" by the Endangered Species Act?

Dear Directors, members & friends,

Attached (pasted directly below) are the comment the Coalition sent in on the petition to list the Northern Leopard Frog. If individuals wish to send in comments they should be directed to Steve Spangle at the addresses below.

RE: Comments Regarding Request for Additional Information on a Petition to List the Northern Leopard Frog

Dear Sirs & Madams,

These comments are being submitted by the Arizona Counties, Cochise, Gila, Graham and Greenlee and the New Mexico Counties, Catron, Chaves, Eddy, Harding, Hidalgo, Lincoln, McKinley, Otero, Rio Arriba, and Sierra along with representation from the timber, farming, livestock, mining, small business, sportsman and outfitter industries as members of the Coalition of Arizona/ New Mexico Counties (Coalition). Our representation currently exceeds 488,167 in combined county populations.

A number of our member counties fall within the geographical area for the Northern Leopard Frog described in the notice seeking additional information. The affected counties should have been invited to participate in the listing decision and preparation of the environmental impact statement required for any possible designation of critical habitat. Our member counties have indicated that they have not been directly notified as required by the ESA and the implementing regulations.

The Coalition has commissioned a review of the status of the western U.S. population of the northern leopard frog (Lithobates Rana pipiens) and the petition to list the frog as threatened under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). This review will be sent to you in early December 2009.

In the interim, please include the following comments in response to the October 28, 2009 Federal Register, Volume 74, Number 207, Page 55525-55526, 90-Day Finding on a Petition to List the Northern Leopard Frog (Lithobates [=Rana]pipiens) in the Western United States as Threatened.

The northern leopard frog should not be listed as threatened due to its wide range, adaptability and abundance. Habitat for northern leopard frog is already protected by numerous laws including the Clean Water Act implementing regulations prohibiting the net loss of wetlands and Clean Air Act implementing regulations prohibiting acid rain. Leopard frogs are easily propagated, prolific and resilient. They thrive in manmade environments as well as a diversity of natural habitats, including marshlands, brushlands, and forests. They are found in agricultural areas and on golf courses. Leopard frogs are well-adapted to cold and can be found at elevations up over 10,000 feet. This species is not in any danger of extinction.

The Coalition has assisted in past efforts to coordinate communications and development memorandum of understanding between the affected counties and the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. Please feel free to contact our office at the address and phone numbers below if you are interested in having the Coalition serve in that capacity for the Northern Leopard Frog listing actions.

Sincerely,

/s/ Louise Peterson, President

Wikipedia, not always accurate, attributes Northern Leopard Frogs' declining numbers to acid rain.  I can see the hysterical Global Warming devotees jumping on this one.

We have already discussed Chiracahua Leopard Frog here on ORF.  Scroll down the labels to see what we have already said because conservatives rely on good science.

EMAILS PROVE GLOBAL WARMING HAS BEEN A FRAUD FOR YEARS

CLICK ON THE LINK BELOW TO READ EMAILS HACKED FROM THE Climate Research Unit (CRU) at the University of East Anglia.

The emails prove what ORF, YOU, and others have been saying for years: GLOBAL WARMING IS A FRAUD. Billions of dollars have been taken from the citizens of the United States in taxes for the alleged purpose of stemming global warming or climate change.

Government policies designed to alter Citizen's lifestyles to include the fraudulent carbon footprint scam have raked in billions in
fraudulently begotten taxes. Al Gore has profited immensely with his selling of carbon credits.

It was and continues to be a hoax perpetrated on the world for the sole purpose of re-distributing wealth, lowering American's standard of living, and illegally expanding the jurisdiction and authority of the federal government and global influence in the United States.

President Obama will stick with the climate change agenda because he's too far into the pockets of the globalist agenda that seeks to destroy the U.S. Constitution, American jobs. and our children and grandchildren's futures.

Think of all the jobs lost in the U.S. because of stringent EPA regulations and federal policies designed to fight global warming or climate change.

IT WAS A GLOBAL HOAX. A LIE! AND YOUR ELECTED OFFICIALS EMBRACED THE LIE WITH THEIR GREEN JOBS SCAM AND
ADVOCATING FOR CAP AND TRADE.

ANY ELECTED OFFICIAL WHO CONTINUES TO ADVOCATE FOR POLICIES INITIATED BY THE FEDGOV TO FIGHT GLOBAL WARMING IS A LIAR AND A THIEF!

The link to the emails. The emails the mainstream media doesn't want you to read:


Otero Residents Forum has been consistent in portraying global warming or climate change as a fraud and having nothing to do with saving the planet. More often these global warming policies are designed to manipulate economies and implement communist policies and control on nations to include the United States of America.

911 TRIALS & THE PUSH FOR A NON-AMERICAN BORN PRESIDENT

ORF OPINION PIECE:



Attorney General Eric Holder's decision to try accused terrorist Khalid Sheik Mohammed as a 'civilian' in a New York City federal court may be the first part of a strategy to amend the Constitution to allow the election of a non-American born U.S. President.

Non-citizens have been tried in American courts as criminals. Illegal aliens are tried and convicted in federal courts in the U.S. probably everyday. Terrorists captured on the field of battle or apprehended in foreign nations with help of that nations police force should be tried before a military tribunal. I am thinking that Attorney General Holder has announced his plan to try Mohammed and other terrorists as civilians in a federal court is part of a farther reaching strategy. Holder and other Constitutional law experts may expect the decision to be challenged in another federal court. They may purposely loose this trial in hopes of taking the issue of non-citizen status in the United States to the Supreme Court. Once in the Supreme Court, Holder or some other liberal Constitutional legal expert may argue that the Fourteenth Amendment: Section One of the U.S. Constitution (The Citizenship Clause) is un-constitutional. If, with the help of Justice Soto-Mayer, the SCOTUS decided the 14th Amendment: Section one was un-constitutional and prevented non-citizens from living full lives, participating in joy and happiness and blocks them from full participation and protection of the American legal system, could therefore proceed to amend the U.S. Constitution to allow a non-American born foreign national to be elected President of the United States. I know this is a stretch, but its a stretch in strategic thinking.

For brushing up on your Constitutional reading and enjoyment, I recommend: http://www.usconstitution.net/consttop_citi.html

From Constitutional Topic:

Natural-born citizen

Who is a natural-born citizen? Who, in other words, is a citizen at birth, such that that person can be a President someday?

The 14th Amendment defines citizenship this way: "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside." But even this does not get specific enough. As usual, the Constitution provides the framework for the law, but it is the law that fills in the gaps.

Currently, Title 8 of the U.S. Code fills in those gaps. Section 1401 defines the following as people who are "citizens of the United States at birth:"

  • Anyone born inside the United States *
  • Any Indian or Eskimo born in the United States, provided being a citizen of the U.S. does not impair the person's status as a citizen of the tribe
  • Any one born outside the United States, both of whose parents are citizens of the U.S., as long as one parent has lived in the U.S.
  • Any one born outside the United States, if one parent is a citizen and lived in the U.S. for at least one year and the other parent is a U.S. national
  • Any one born in a U.S. possession, if one parent is a citizen and lived in the U.S. for at least one year
  • Any one found in the U.S. under the age of five, whose parentage cannot be determined, as long as proof of non-citizenship is not provided by age 21
  • Any one born outside the United States, if one parent is an alien and as long as the other parent is a citizen of the U.S. who lived in the U.S. for at least five years (with military and diplomatic service included in this time)
  • A final, historical condition: a person born before 5/24/1934 of an alien father and a U.S. citizen mother who has lived in the U.S.

What's good for the goose.....

On Tuesday, the Senate health committee voted 12-11 in favor of a
two-page amendment courtesy of Republican Tom Coburn that would
require all Members and their staffs to enroll in any new
government-run health plan. It took me less than a minute to sign up
to require our congressmen and senators to drink at the same trough!
Three cheers for Congressman John Fleming of Louisiana !
Congressman John Fleming ( Louisiana physician) has proposed an
amendment that would require congressmen and senators to take the same
healthcare plan they force on us (under proposed legislation they are
curiously exempt). 

Congressman Fleming is encouraging people to go on his Website and
sign his petition (very simple - just first, last and email). I have
immediately done just that at:
http://fleming.house.gov/index.cfm?sectionid=55&sectiontree=29,55
Please urge as many people as you can to do the same!
If Congress forces this on the American people, the Congressmen should
have to accept the same level of health care for themselves and their
families. To do otherwise is the height of hypocrisy!
Please pass this on!!

Muslims in New York celebrate the deaths of Americans in the Fort Hood jihad

MAIN STREAM MEDIA AVOIDANCE AND HYPOCRISY

ORF OPINION PIECE:


Main Stream Media intellectuals have diagnosed Army psychiatrist Major Nidal Hasan as suffering from PTSD like symptoms from just hearing of the horrors of war other soldiers experienced in combat. Hasan never served in combat. The MSM has skewed the definition of PTSD to explain ,in empathetic terms, the underlying reasons Hasan murdered 13 American soldiers at Ft. Hood, and wounded several others.

The National Institute of Mental Health defines PTSD as:

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, PTSD, is an anxiety disorder that can develop after exposure to a terrifying event or ordeal in which grave physical harm occurred or was threatened. Traumatic events that may trigger PTSD include violent personal assaults, natural or human-caused disasters, accidents, or military combat.

If we are to believe the MSM's assertion that Hasan was so terrified by the description of combat related experiences he heard from soldiers he counseled, then we have allowed the MSM to create a new anxiety disorder. The MSM is using this poorly explained convenient obstructionist view of Hasan's actions in an act of avoidance to connect a lone Islamic terrorist and murderer to the teachings of the Koran.

If the MSM has identified a new dynamic to PTSD brought on by simply hearing about violence, then ORF asks is not the billion dollar media industry around the world that exploits gratuitous violence on film, TV and in video games also culpable of inciting individuals to violence after simply viewing a violent flim or playing a violent video game?

In the spirit of liberal and communist political correctness, shouldn't the liberal political machine demand an end to all violence in Hollywood productions, MSM prime time TV shows and in video games?

2010 ELECTION WORDS TO PONDER: OLIGARCHY

An oligarchy (Greek Ὀλιγαρχία, Oligarkhía) (oligocracy) is a form of government in which power effectively rests with a small elite segment of society distinguished by royal, wealth, intellectual, family, military, or religious hegemony. The word oligarchy is from the Greek words for "few" (ὀλίγος olígos) and "rule" (ἀρχή arkhē). Such states are often controlled by politically powerful families whose children are heavily conditioned and mentored to be heirs of the power of the oligarchy.[citation needed]

Oligarchies have been tyrannical throughout history, being completely reliant on public servitude to exist. Although Aristotle pioneered the use of the term as a synonym for rule by the rich, for which the exact term is plutocracy, oligarchy is not always a rule by wealth, as oligarchs can simply be a privileged group. Some city-states from ancient Greece were oligarchies. The combination of the words plutocracy and oligarchy make the word plutarchy.

RESTRAINTS ON POLICITICAL CORRECTNESS

ORF OPINION PIECE


Political correctness is a communist viral invasion of American moral, religious, political and cultural traditions. At some point in our immediate future, the States must amend their State Constitutions to define the abrogation of State Constitutional Rights and U.S. Constitutional Rights by secular non-vote agendas that are defined as law and truth by self-indulgent political operatives who advance the cause of one group at the jeopardy of all Americans. Political correctness is not reality but creates a dangerous reality forced upon Freedom loving Americans. Fight back.
