Back to the birth certificate issue for a moment. There is a lawsuit in progress at the Federal Courthouse in Santa Ana California regarding Obama being a "natural born citizen" as required by the Constitution.
No coverage by the local media that I can find and nothing in the msm which is par for the course. The interesting development is that the DOJ is participating in the case trying to get it dismissed. So Obama has the government lawyers intervening on his behalf at taxpayers expense.
Would it not be much easier to just show the documentation. Why do they continue to trivialize and thumb their noses at the Constitution. Maybe because it was written by "old white men"? Maybe because they think it is a "living document" that they can change at their whim?
So what do you think?

THE ANT AND THE GRASSHOPPER
This one is a little different... Two Different Versions- Two Different
Morals......
OLD VERSION:
The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his
house and laying up supplies for the winter.
The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays
the summer away.
Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed. The grasshopper has no food
or shelter, so he dies out in the cold.
MORAL OF THE STORY: Be responsible for yourself!
MODERN VERSION:
The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his
house and laying up supplies for the winter.
The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays
the summer away. Come winter, the shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while others are cold and starving.
CBS, NBC , PBS, CNN, and ABC show up to provide pictures of the shivering grasshopper next to a video of the ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with food. America is stunned by the sharp contrast.
How can this be, that in a country of such wealth, this poor grasshopper
is allowed to suffer so?
Kermit the Frog appears on Oprah with the grasshopper and everybody
cries when they sing, 'It's Not Easy Being Green.'
Jesse Jackson stages a demonstration in front of the ant 's house where the news stations film the group singing, 'We shall overcome.' Jesse then
has the group kneel down to pray for the grasshopper's sake.
Nancy Pelosi & John Kerry exclaim in an interview with Larry King that
the ant has gotten rich off the back of the grasshopper, and both call for
an immediate tax hike on the ant to make him pay his fair share.
Finally, the EEOC drafts the Economic Equity & Anti-Grasshopper Act
retroactive to the beginning of the summer.
The ant is fined for failing to hire a proportionate number of green
bugs and, having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, his home is
confiscated by the government.
The story ends as we see the grasshopper finishing up the last bits of
the ants food while the government house he is in, which just happens to
be the ant's old house, crumbles around him because he doesn't maintain it.
The ant has disappeared in the snow.
The grasshopper is found dead in a drug related incident and the house,
now abandoned, is taken over by a gang of spiders who terrorize the once
peaceful neighborhood.
MORAL OF THE STORY: Be careful how you vote.
