Wow! Who could have guessed this outcome.
U.S. District Court Judge Clay Land has thrown out a complaint questioning the president’s birth from an Army captain fighting deployment to Iraq and gave a warning to her lawyer, birther maven Orly Taitz.
Land also put attorney Orly Taitz, who represents Capt. Connie Rhodes and is a leader in the national “birther” movement, on notice by stating that she could face sanctions if she ever files a similar “frivolous” lawsuit in his court.
“(Rhodes) has presented no credible evidence and has made no reliable factual allegations to support her unsubstantiated, conclusory allegations and conjecture that President Obama is ineligible to serve as president of the United States,” Land states in his order. “Instead, she uses her complaint as a platform for spouting political rhetoric, such as her claims that the president is ‘an illegal usurper, an unlawful pretender, [and] an unqualified imposter.’”
#12 Birther Movement SPEAKS,
So, by your logic, John McCain would also not be able to be president, as he was born in PANAMA, which was leased to the US. As McCain was clearly NOT born in the US, he could not have been president either.
My buddies, who disagree with me politically, voted for Obama thinking him a post racial candidate…and centrist…
They learned the hard way he lied, he is a leftist radical…
But now they are actually starting to hate him…he has ginned up the race industry…and its calling them racist…because of Obama…and they blame him…
Thank you all.
I just love this. In another six months as the primaries start up, the Republican candidates are going to worry about pandering to their extreme base and still appearing to a centrist style candidate. When the extremists start running their own candidates the mainstream candidates will need to spend all their campaign money in the primaries.
Now that is going to be funny. Republicans trying to explain during the election why they think Obama’s Birth Certificate is forged. Why they claimed death panels were in the Health Care bill, why they think Obama has too many “unaccountable” czars when they supported Bush when he had even more, why they voted against the stimulus package then they turned around and claimed money for their district, …
Funny, funny, funny

Serious question.
My buddies, who disagree with me …
How much do you pay these buddies to be your friend?
It wasn’t long ago when the Birthers proposed the Constitution be amended to allow anyone who has lived in America for at least twenty years to run for the Presidency.
This was to support Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger (R-CA) run for the Presidency, who was born in Austria.
Senator Orrin Hatch (R-UT) introduced a bill that would change the Constitution to allow anyone who has lived in America for at least twenty years to run for the Presidency.
Isn’t this just so hilarious???
Her logical next step is to challenge the judge, demand to see his/her birth certificate, etc. Obviously if the judge cannot prove that to her then his ruling is invalid?
Ok they say, put your self in other people shoes before you judge.
Ok, let’s try thinking like a Birther… Here it goes… I am losing my self….
Maybe the Birthers are right, maybe Obama wasn’t even born, maybe Barack Obama is a black Android….
But why black??
Wow that blows my mind Barack Obama is a black Android, … wow.
The Birthers where right; they are our heroes, only trying to save humanity from being over run by Androids.
Wow!
Poor Alfie, in #59 he calls Obama a radical leftist, in #60 he complains about Obama giving billions to bankers. It’s probably too much to expect of him to keep his accusations coherent.
“The food was terrible, and the portions were so small!”
Well done Phydeau, it looks like you are getting close to the root of the confusion over Obama’s policies. We’re being fleeced in a new way and the old left-right language doesn’t really fit.
Production, risk and liabilities are all being nationalized but profits and control of capital is being further privatized.
What do we call it? fascist-socialism?
#68 It fits his plan to make America a third rate impoverished country…
Then it gets what it deserves.
Obama apologized for the things we did ascending to the top…
Now he is undoing them.
#68 Phydeau
I really enjoyed the “Incorrect…the data, the facts, are not subject to the Razor…”
Then two lines later he says:
“The only ‘model’ that accounts for the existence of all the data, and that satisfies Ockham’s Razor, is…”
I gotta agree. It’s endlessly amusing, and so easy. Fish meet barrel, barrel meet fish.
#71 There was no contradiction, a conclusion is not a fact, they aren’t the same.
You do not apply Occam’s (Ockham’s) Razor to facts…its a rule that applies only to conclusions based upon the facts…
For example, a skater slips and falls…
Occam’s razor, taking all the facts into account, would conclude the skater lost his balance.
A left loon theorist, for example a “qb”, might multiply entities thus, “a cloaked Klingon war vessel knocked the skater over…”
The addition of a cloaked Klingon vessel, required for that theory, violates Occam’s razor.
The Klingon warbird is not a fact, it is speculation.

Please stop, my guts are hurting.
# 72 Alfred1,
Poor Alfred1, clueless as ever.
But, he is persistent, that is; his “analysis” are always persistently original.
I agree with # 73 qb, Alfred1 your more entertaining then TV.
Another illustration that I hope clears up your confusion:
While looking out of a 10th floor window, we observe a man traveling downward at a fast clip.
You exclaim: “He is flying to a different location.”
I say: “No, he is falling to his death.”
As humans can’t fly, as theory requires the ability to fly exist, you are multiplying entities, to conclude as you do.
You are violating Occam’s razor…
Whereas my statement rests squarely upon known fact about gravity and human nature.
#75 You may be able to the knack of flying Alfred1. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.
(With apologies to Mr Adams…)
# 71 qb,
Prof # 75 Alfred1 has spoken.
“You are violating Occam’s razor…”
You most be punished!!!
This is what you get, when you indulge in these … behaviors of yours.
Now for your torture, uh, I mean punishment, you most go and imbibe in your preferred beverage – often.
Now don’t you talk back to me!!!! The Prof has spoken, GO NOW!!!!
#72, Alphie the dolt
For example, a skater slips and falls…
Occam’s razor, taking all the facts into account, would conclude the skater lost his balance.
If a skater slips then they didn’t lose their balance. They slipped and the resulting lose of traction prevented them from mechanically maintaining their posture. Yes Alphie, even skating requires friction.
You are finding conclusions that lack analysis or evidence. A very common thing among wing nuts.
noname, now that you put it that way, yes I will take my penance. An Australian Shiraz should do the trick. Wait a minute, I’ve been very wrong since I just saw some Irish Whiskey in the cupboard.
Sherlock Holmes would use Occam’s Razor
Alfred1— awww well ok he is an example of Hanlon’s razor “Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.”
#76 same apologies>
Alfred1 reading your posts is like reading Vogon poetry
The Birthers are bunk, I guess the longer they stay at it the better for the Dems because they look so laughable.
enjoy Hawaii
why do you want to take away States Rights? you are a bad man Alfred1 god is crying
