Segments of the right-wing blogosphere have become obsessed with the idea that Obama was born in Kenya, and was thus not a natural born citizen. Lawsuits have been filed with SCOTUS challenging Obama's status as a natural born citizen.

The basis of these claims is the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952, which was in effect at the time Obama was born in 1961.

Gail Fenumiai, director of the Alaska Division of Elections, tells ABC News that regardless of the impression given to members of the Alaskan Independence Party, "Gov. Sarah Palin first registered to vote in the state in May 1982 as a Republican, and she has not changed her party affiliate with the Division of Elections since that time."

You can't elect a Presidential candidate who is a pathological liar.

You can't elect a Presidential candidate who supports a federal ban on handguns.

You can't elect a Presidential candidate who supports legalizing same sex marriage.

I like to post excellent Daily Kos diaries at rec.gambling.poker, so the diaries can reach a wider audience. I seldom post diaries at Daily Kos, because the whole trusted user system is nothing but a system for repressive Stalinist censorship, in my opinion.

RGP is an unmoderated usenet newsgroup. Anyone can post there. No one can moderate you. I like the freedom.

When I post a diary, I like to prefix my own analysis as an introduction. Here is my introduction to bondad's econmic talkling points diary. This is not a metadiary, but a diary about a diary. Enjoy.

United States vetoes UN ceasefire call

The Bush Crime Family is really too much. There are 15 nations on the UN Security Council. 14 of these nations are in favor of urging a ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon. But the USA has veto power on the Security Council. We turned thumbs down on the idea of calling for a ceasefire.

What the fuck??? I guess that Bush thinks his Israeli surrogates have not killed enough "terrorists" yet. I guess Bush thinks the Israelis haven't dropped enough 500 pound bombs on innocent civilians yet. The current civilian death toll is about 100 in Gaza and about 100 in Lebanon.

Two lies from the Wall Street Journal Rove/Wilson editorial

As you probably know, the Wall Street Journal published an editorial today viciously smearing Joe Wilson. This editorial was basically a regurgitation of Republican lies about Joe Wilson, Republican talking points published yesterday by Ken Mehlman, RNC Chairman.

I already posted this at Little Green Footballs.

My post is comment #295 in the thread. At comment #291, I also posted a recapitulation of Ken Mehlman's lie exposed by Josh Marshall at Talking Points Memo. My LGF post is below the fold.

At the risk of being drummed out of the liberal community, I have to say that I am in favor of a constitutional amendment banning burning or other desecration of the American flag.

Yes, I know it is an issue of free speech. I also know that burning is the approved method of disposing of a damaged flag. I also think the Republicans are being political opportunists by introducing this amendment. They are clearly trying to change the subject.

I noticed in the Daily Kos Presidential Poll that Wesley Clark was by far the most popular choice for the Democratic Presidential nomination in 2008, with Hillary Clinton and Russ Feingold essentially tied for second.

While all three would make fine candidates, I think the Daily Kos community needs a reality check. Barring unforeseen developments, Hillary Clinton is the strong favorite to be the nominee.

My evidence? How people are betting on the 2008 election at gambling sites like Tradesports.com. Read More

Well, Tim Russert really outdid himself today with an all-star line up of Media Whores for his media panel --

Gwen Ifill -- close friend of Kinda Sleazy Rice and shameless Republican apologist.

Judy Woodruff -- shameless Republican apologist.

David Broder -- "Dean" of the Washington press corps, who never says anything of importance.

John Harwood -- reporter for the Wall Street Journal. Need I say more? Read More

Why free trade and CAFTA are good ideas

President Bush is going to start pushing for the passage of the Central American Free Trade Agreement, commonly referred to as CAFTA. I predict that most Democrats and liberals will oppose CAFTA, but they shouldn't.

In this case, Bush and the Republicans are right, and the Democrats and liberals who oppose CAFTA are wrong. Free trade is always a good idea and always benefits all countries involved. This hasn't been a matter of argument in economics for 200 years. Every student of Economics 101 knows this.

The United States has benefitted from every free trade agreement we have entered into, and we will benefit from this one. All this nonsense about jobs going to Mexico because of NAFTA? Pure bullshit. The statistics clearly show that the economy gained more jobs from increased trade with Mexico than were lost because of jobs going to Mexico.

Well, you can add me to the list of frustrated diarists who see their diaries scroll off the list of recent diaries within a few hours after the diary is posted. Once the diary is pushed off the recent diaries list, it will be found only by real diary junkies, and has absolutely no chance of becoming a recommended diary, must less a front page post.

Earlier today I posted the diary --

I have my front page set to show the 40 most recent diaries. Within three hours, my diary had disappeared from the recent diaries list. For those specifying less than 40 diaries to be displayed, my diary disappeared even sooner. Read More

I post regularly on the usenet newsgroup rec.gambling.poker (RGP) as Wilhelm Kuhlmann, AKA Ramashiva. Although RGP is a poker newsgroup, there is quite a bit of off-topic political discussion, which can get quite heated and interesting, since RGP is completely unmoderated and uncensored, and the entire political spectrum is well represented.

I have started two new threads on RGP related to the Time cover story on Ann Coulter. You can read my first post here --

OT: Ann Coulter puts the cunt in country

Three days later, I made a second post about the war of words that had erupted between Eric Alterman, David Brock, and John Cloud, the author of the Time artice "Ms. Right".
