Duty. Honor. Country.

Being  Called/To Account

When any decently
Open-minded person
Starts looking into
             the history
           of the issue
                    of the 
"Natural born" citizen
          requirement
For the office
Of the nation's
Presidency, they
Will quite soon discover
            the truth
                of the matter:
            that
The whole point
Of the exercise
        on the part
Of the constitutional
          Framers
Was to make sure -
             at least
As sure as they could,
           in their time
           and place - 
           that 
           the person
Who ended up
            occupying
That office -
                  who would 
                   as well
          become the
Commander in Chief
Of the nation's military
Forces - 
       did not have any
            conflicting
      loyalties or
Allegiances.  
                       Like a
          naturalized
Citizen.  And like a - 
             wait
             for it - 
                    Dual
Citizen.  Like, say,  
                         er,
               Obama.

      Reasonable
      deduction,
     wouldn't you
Say?  Wouldn't any
                   decently
Open-minded person
Say??  
               Of course  
They would.  
    And this reading
Of the Framers'
           intention
Is highlighted by
        the fact that 
              before
      the vote on
       the matter
Of that office's
            eligibility
Requirements,
      Alexander
        Hamilton
Had proposed 
              that
Said candidate
Need only be
           a, quote,
'Citizen'.  
                And
His proposal
Was turned
Down.  
        The result:
  that federal
  office - 
        and that
federal office
      only -
Has that stricter
     eligibility
     requirement
     for it.             
               Worth
Consideration,
   wouldn't you
Say?  Wouldn't any
         even halfway
                 decently
Open-minded person
Say…             
              So, who's
Kidding whom
In our day.

                  This is
                   not
                   rocket
                   science,
          folks.
          What is
          the matter
          with you?
          I am here
          apparently
          to tell you -
                     like
The little boy
           calling
The emperor
On his fine
New clothes -
           that you
           are all
Wrong.

(It would appear
                    to be
My job in life
                   to cut
Through things
With the knife
Of discrimination.
                Oh well.
             Someone
                   has to
                      do it.
                 It might
                  as well
                    be me
      to say:)

Stop
This
Nonsense.
        And get back
  to theTruth
  of things,
      America
      of this
  generation.
       Or suffer
The consequences
      of your 
      immoral
Actions.

-

Duty.
Honor.
Country.
We weren't given
A nation
            in order
            for you
     to squander
Your legacy.
               You -
               you -
 Are being called
                   to
Account.
           Let's see
          your best
Response.
     And make it
Quickly.
                We
   don't have
   much of
   an opportunity
To make it in
              before
              the rot
              sets in
        too deeply.

Do you hear me,
                        O
             America
Of my heart?
            Do I have
            to play
            my part
Too harshly
In order
To get your
Attention?
                 I hope
                 not.
I can embody
                 Love
But I can also
             embody
                 Truth
   with a terrible
     swift sword.

                Take
         my word
                 for it
               or not.
          It makes
   no difference
                      to
The Outcome.
Which is
Separation
From
Our recent
Past.

At
Last,

Ascension:
           here
We come.
Whether some
Are ready
For it
Or not.  They
     will just
     have
     to wait
     their turn
     in
     and for
     another
Time.
   The rest
    of us
    have
    another
    Duty
    to perform.
    That
     of
Unrebellious
Children
Inheriting
Our Father's
Kingdom
          more fully
           and
           honorably
           in
           a Far
Country;
          having
          learned
          how
          to run one
Properly.

P.S. The following is a fax that I have just sent to my Congresscritters.  It is self-explanatory.

STEP 1 - Choose an Opening Point
NumbersUSA is running the following ad in political journals across the country, noting how Members of both Parties and some in the media agree that Pres. Obama's executive amnesty is unconstitutional. Please take a look at the ad and support a short-term spending bill, so Congress can later defund the President's action.
STEP 2 - Edit or Write your own Main Text
"Those who seek absolute power, even though they seek it to do what they regard as good, are simply demanding the right to enforce their own version of heaven on earth.  And let me remind you, they are the very ones who always create the most hellish tyrannies.  Absolute power does corrupt, and those who seek it must be suspect and must be opposed."  That is Sen. Barry Goldwater speaking to us from the grave.  It doesn't matter which side of the political aisle one stands on: one can stand on principle wherever they are.  And this is a sound principle.


Please heed it.  This president has gone too far.  Rein him in.  Before The People have to 'reign' him out themselves.
