Here's a petition I hope you and all liberals will sign ... if you don't, you're a hate-filled bigot! Heh. I've already signed it ... unfortunately, they won't let me sign it more than once under different names .. what's with liberals having a problem with that? Libs Petition to Move DNCC out of NC This is too much to hope for, but it'd be great if they pulled their convention out of NC over gay marriage. Hopefully, a lot of the convention speaker's will feel compelled to express their outrage at the state over their vote. BY: Washington Free Beacon Staff - May 9, 2012 10:32 am Progressive forces are petitioning the Democratic Party to move its convention out of North Carolina in protest of the state’s recently enacted ban on gay marriage. “In protest, the Democratic National Convention Committee should MOVE its convention (September 2012) to a state that upholds values of equality & liberty, and which treats ALL citizens equally,” the petition states. Initiated by Gay Marriage USA, a gay rights advocacy group, the petition has already attracted 14,946 signatures on its way to an anticipated 20,000. http://freebeacon.com/libs-petition-to-move-dncc-out-of-nc/ Now, there's a petition I can sign!

BOTH OBAMAS SURRENDERED law licenses in '93 & '08 Wed, 05/09/2012 liberty.com Did you wonder how President Obama could make un-Constitutional statements and challenge the Supreme Court when he was a "Constitutional Law Professor"?............... This can be easily veriified at iardc.org Stands for Illinois Attorney Registration And Disciplinary Committee. It's the official arm of lawyer discipline in Illinois; and they are very strict and mean as hell. 1. President Barack Obama, former editor of the Harvard Law Review, is no longer a "lawyer". He surrendered his license back in 2008 in order to escape charges he lied on his bar application. A "Voluntary Surrender" is not something where you decide "Gee, a license is not really something I need anymore, is it?" and forget to renew your license. No, a "Voluntary Surrender" is something you do when you've been accused of something, and you 'voluntarily surrender" your license five seconds before the state suspends you. 2 Michelle Obama "voluntarily surrendered" her law license in 1993. after a Federal Judge gave her the choice between surrendering her license or STAND TRIAL FOR insurance FRAUD. 3. So, we have the first black President and First "Lady" - who don't actually have licenses to practice law. Facts. Source: jdlong.wordpress.com 4. A senior lecturer is one thing, a fully ranked law professor is another. Barack Obama was NOT a Constitutional Law Professor at the University of Chicago. 5. The University of Chicago released a statement in March 2008 saying Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) "served as a professor" in the law school-but that is a title. Obama, who taught courses there part-time, never held, a spokesman for the school confirmed in 2008. 6. "He did not hold the title of Professor of Law," said Marsha Ferziger Nagorsky, an Assistant Dean for Communications and Lecturer in Law at the University of Chicago School of Law. Source: blogs.suntimes.com ; 7. The former Constitutional Senior Lecturer (Obama) cited the U.S. Constitution the other night during his State of the Union Address. Unfortunately, the quote he cited was from the Declaration of Independence ... not the Constitution. 8. The B-Cast posted the video: breitbart.tv 9. Free Republic: In the State of the Union Address, President Obama said: "We find unity in our incredible diversity, drawing on the promise enshrined in our Constitution: the notion that we are all created equal. 10. Um, wrong citing, wrong founding document there Champ, I mean Mr. President. By the way, the promises are not a notion, our founders named them unalienable rights. The document is our Declaration of Independence and it reads: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. 11. And this is the same guy who lectured the Supreme Court moments later in the same speech?

Leftism Comes First As Black Studies Critic Is Fired May 10, 2012 IBD Editorials » news.investors.com Free Speech: A news source for college professors fires a noted writer for racism after she exposes "left-wing victimization claptrap" masquerading as scholarship. So much for free academic inquiry. What was the offense that garnered 6,500 names on a Web petition calling for Naomi Schaefer Riley to be silenced in a favorite news site of America's comfy, tenured, leftist-dominated academic elites? The former Wall Street Journal editor specializing in higher education, religion and culture dared to write a blog post for the Chronicle of Higher Education titled "The Most Persuasive Case for Eliminating Black Studies? Just Read the Dissertations." Riley considers it idiotic that people are awarded Ph.D.s for spending years researching topics like "Black Women's Authoritative Knowledge on Childbirth," imaginary federal conspiracies to place blacks in single-family homes during the 1960s and how black conservative intellectuals such as John McWhorter, Thomas Sowell and Clarence Thomas "assault" civil rights. Her post's devastating crescendo highlighted real black social problems, "from high incarceration rates to low graduation rates to high out-of-wedlock birth rates," lamenting that debates on such issues are "not happening in black-studies departments." She suggested we "let some legitimate scholars find solutions to the problems of blacks in America. Solutions that don't begin and end with blame the white man." Racist? This serious voice of reason and genuine concern is a white woman who happens to be married to a black man, Wall Street Journal writer Jason Riley. Let's not beat around the bush about what the Chronicle of Higher Education did in giving in to a mob of petitioners, which was organized by entrenched leftist academic interests. This is the same kind of high-tech lynching that was tried against Clarence Thomas two decades ago during his Senate confirmation hearings. The goal then was to keep a black conservative out of power, so the illusion of big government helping blacks could continue unchallenged. The goal in silencing Riley is to gag someone of unique credibility whose well-informed opinion carries tremendous weight. Then as now, the bullies of the left will lose — not least because their firing of Riley has backfired: Thanks to her firing, her astute thoughts on this boondoggle academic "discipline" have already in the last week been read by tens of thousands of people who would never be caught dead reading the Chronicle of Higher Education.
