Federal Judge Dismisses Frivolous Birther Lawsuit
Land Ruling - Rhodes v. Macdonald
As I've written in earlier posts, if you're gonna win the war, you cannot waste it by picking stupid battles wherein you're throwing rocks and bottles against targets of no significance. You have to use your heavy artillery and go after battles where we are right and have the authority to support our position. If you have the facts and the law behind you, you will prevail. Not so in these cases which all they do is weaken our position. This is a fringe argument with no legal basis. I've said it all along. I said it last year when the first lawsuit was filed.
This judge is a conservative judge appointed by George W. Bush. He's not some sappy liberal. To win the war against the socialist pricks in the government right now, we have to speak the truth, use the law, and be loud. If you get attacked you then have the weapons to fight back. If you dwell on frivolous UFO type theories, you will never get out of the fox hole and they will win because you were not focused. If folks want to associate with the types that file this lawsuit, go ahead. You will have no credibility on the matters that count.
Just my 4 1/2 cents.
Obviously I do not know lawyer Orly Taitz, but from what I have seen of her on t.v. she strikes me as being border line cuckoo.
I really do not think she or her financial backers (WND?) care about winning any lawsuit, they just want them to remain in the public eye, ad nauseum. If the people behind this really cared about winning, I think they would enlist a more respected lawyer.
As Joseph Farah said last December: "It'll plague Obama throughout his presidency. It'll be a nagging issue and a sore on his administration, much like Monica Lewinsky was on Bill Clinton's presidency," and, "It's not going to go away, and it will drive a wedge in an already divided public."

So I don't think this is going away anytime soon. No matter how much it damages our position.
Bravo, CMike, thank you ... finally someone calls it as it is. What a waste of energy and resources to chase rabbits in hibernation, when there are so many more pressing issues we need to tackle and where we can really make a difference.

Look how much impact Glen Beck has made in just the last 2 months. They're after him now. But he's nailing these bastards with their own words. They can't fight against that. He's not wasting his time playing Don Quixote.
Likewise, the filmmakers going after ACORN. TO put it bluntly, we need to call a spade a spade and show the world who these people like Van Jones really are. They don't need to get a pass. the MSM gives it to them. We need to research who these people are and spread the truth like wildfire.
"Birthers" are a silly distraction.
The sooner these clowns dissapear from the public debate, the better.
