I was away for a day or two and am late with my tribute to all those who served on D-Day. Unlike our current president, however, I understand that it's better late than never.
Sixty-six years ago yesterday, Operation Overlord began. For 80 blood-soaked days, 2 million men fought for every inch of Normandy in perhaps the most epic and important battle on behalf of freedom the world has ever known. The beaches of Normandy are soaked still with the blood of those who gave everything so that those suffering under the most barbaric of tyrannies could breathe free again, and those of us who came later could enjoy what their extraordinary sacrifices bought for us.
Where was the Bama yesterday? At Ford's Theater, whooping it up with Lionel Richie and Kelly Clarkson. First he blows off Memorial Day services at Arlington to grill veggie burgers in Chicago. And on the 66th anniversary of the greatest military invasion in defense of liberty, he's chuckling at the comic stylings of George Lopez.
We're going to have a 21st century D-Day to save ourselves from this malignant force that has Manchurian Candidate-d its way into our highest office. It's called November 6, 2012.

Who would Monica rather see galvanizing and leading the troops ashore on D-Day---Alaska's Sarah Palin who can field dress a moose (and maybe even oil executives and media snarks) with her own hands, or another star of the Ivy League ghetto, Jeb Bush. fortunate brother of the "Ït's a religion of peace" Georgie?
Monica?....Monica, yoohoo!

As to how fit the Republicans really are for D-Day heroics, here is another sampling of how they have surrendered totally to the Alinsky/Media Machine that cleverly tries to ridicule anyone who dares to ask perfectly legitimate questions about Barack Hussein Soetoro Obama's Constitutional elegibility for the highest office in the land. Orly Taitz, one of many attorneys on the case, may or may not have made legal mistakes. However, we now get.....
'BIRTHER QUEEN'..... REPUBLICANS TREMBLE.
California Republicans optimistic about their prospects in November could find themselves with a bit of a problem after the votes are counted in Tuesday’s primaries — a statewide ticket with the so-called “Birther Queen” as one of their candidates.
Orly Taitz is an Israeli émigré who has spent the past two years filing lawsuits challenging President Barack Obama’s right to be president on the grounds that he was born in Kenya. In the process, she has earned herself $20,000 in court fines.

Taitz gained considerable media exposure for her contention, against all evidence, that Obama lied about being born in Hawaii and under the Constitution cannot be president.
“
DeVore’s spokesman told the Los Angeles Times that DeVore “strongly disapproves of Orly Taitz and the crazy theories she continues to advance,” while a Fiorina spokeswoman said Obama is “absolutely eligible for the presidency.”

gringoNOTE: Yet more evidence of how the Media and the Republicans (yes, Republicans) reinforce each other's deviousness and intellectual bankruptcy.
Whether Orly Taitz here is quoted accurately is beside the point. Even if she said Obama lies about his Kenyan birth, that is irrelevcant to the basic Constitutional issue. The issue, as every non-half wit understands, is about his having a non-American parent, whether or not he was born in Hawaii. This is so clear that deviants from the Ivy League 'hood have to work overtime to muddy it up. The Founders were dead set against this (having a non-American parent) for the highest office in the land. Libworld, with Republican connivance, has fiercely opposed the adjudication of this profound issue in courts of law. It's that simple. Which is why LibWorld, and the Republicans, leave it to the Alinsky Media Machine to obfuscate via "ridicule." with the added dollop that it's been in court, while they know perfectly well that no court has adjudicated the issue, only ruling that you have "no standing" to raise the issue, yada-yada.
What troopers these Republicans be!

Obama may not be the Democratic Party's candidate. Clinton, who has been operating as President by proxy, is anxious about taking the reins of power directly.
Despite taking a "thumpin", the Republican Party forwards a candidate whose wife Columba, tried to cross the border freely in 1999, and was apprehended for not declaring all the goods she purchased.
Either way, we are going to be stuck with shamnesty, So who is for shooting at Mexicans crossing the border?

CANCUN, Mexico — Police discovered six dead bodies in a cavern near the tourist resort of Cancun on Sunday, three of them cut open and their hearts removed.
Authorities are investigating the identities of the four men and two women found dead in the natural cave, said Francisco Alor, the Quintana Roo state attorney general.
"They were apparently tortured and their chests were opened to remove the hearts," Alor's office said later in a statement.
Three of the bodies had the letter "Z" carved on their abdomens – a possible reference to the Zeta drug gang, though officials did not make an explicit connection to cartel violence that has plagued many parts of Mexico.
------------
Are the Mexicans ready to join with the US, with an open border? Perhaps in 50 years. Most American citizens have resented the US-Mexican corridor project, placing the cart before the horse, foisting this project on the public in backroom scheming, and destabilizing parts of the American Southwest.

Question is: WHAT TOOK SO LONG?
And how come we didn't get treated to the usual media howling that usually comes immediately after even the slightest transgression that could possibly be interpreted in a racialist way becomes known?
Can you say Macaca?
How many times did we hear this blurb blasted across the major media channels?
Jesse Jerckson got off pretty easily with his Jew-baiting as well as his nut-cutting N-word spewing tirade during the election.
Looks like if you're a lib you can say pretty much whatever you want. they'll circle the wagons for you.

Note: A little known fact: Before the onset of WWII and the Holocaust, Hitler & co. were actually in favor of offering the Jews a better deal than what he had in mind for the Slavs. He wanted to deport Jews to Madagascar via the "Madagascar Plan." As for the Slavs, his plans were to make them permanent slaves of the "Master Race of Aryans."
------
Who Were the Five Million Non-Jewish Holocaust Victims?
Of the 11 million people killed during the Holocaust, six million were Polish citizens. Three million were Polish Jews and another three million were Polish Christians and Catholics. Most of the remaining mortal victims were from other countries including Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Ukraine, Russia, Holland, France and even Germany.
Why Did Hitler Cause 11 Million to Die?
First we need to examine Hitler's egocentric and maniac ideology. Hitler, who was Chancellor of Germany during the Holocaust, came to power in 1933 when Germany was experiencing severe economic hardship. Hitler promised the Germans that he would bring them prosperity and that his military actions would restore Germany to a position of power in Europe.
Hitler had a vision of a Master Race of Aryans that would control Europe. He used very powerful propaganda techniques to convince not only the German people, but countless others, that if they eliminated the people who stood in their way and the degenerates and racially inferior, they - the great Germans would prosper.
-- "Neighboring Poland - The First Target: "All Poles will disappear from the world.... It is essential that the great German people should consider it as its major task to destroy all Poles." - Heinrich Himmler

DJ, I'd say that only about 30% of the population of Germany would have "measured up" to Hitler's "Aryan standards". In fact it is quite evident simply by looking at him, that Hitler himself wouldn't have "measured up".
I think that was a major theme in Moonraker.

Thanks DJ. The libs on Facebook are defending Helen Thomas and attacking Israel. They don't understand why Helen Thomas' comments were offensive.

Might Gringoman find a homosexual reason for the intrigue when the Constitution and the US Code fail him? A drag racing female sea captain with a slant-hemi warship? A disciple in aqua coloured shower slippers preaching to Buddhists in Cambodia?

Sometimes the clarity of an issue results in poor Gringoman walking headlong into a glass door, nose first. Please listen, you don't know what your missing.
My late partner penned a song about a guy like you. Took him all of twenty minutes.
You could look it up yourself. It would take less time then the first verse of Jenny Wren.
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. The Constitution authorizes the Congress to do create clarifying legislation in Section 5 of the 14th Amendment; the Constitution, in Article 1, Section 8, Clause 4, also allows the Congress to create law regarding naturalization, which includes citizenship.
Currently, Title 8 of the U.S. Code fills in the gaps left by the Constitution. 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.
* There is an exception in the law — the person must be "subject to the jurisdiction" of the United States. This would exempt the child of a diplomat, for example, from this provision.
Anyone falling into these categories is considered natural-born, and is eligible to run for President or Vice President. These provisions allow the children of military families to be considered natural-born, for example.
See, Gringo? Easier than a melody by Jobim. Open the door and let 'em in.
