I can't wait for the Republicans to nominate Jeb Bush and Liz Cheney to run against Obama in '12, and try to pass them off as change candidates.

Hey, Liz, let's talk about your daddy.

On May 8, 2001, he was tasked with overseeing a national effort for responding to domestic attacks. The group was supposed to draft a national terrorism response plan by October 1st. They didn't even meet once before Sept. 11th.

Bush and Cheney halted attempts to catch Osama bin Laden, yanked our troops out of Afghanistan and started an invasion of Iraq--for no good reason. As a result, 8 years later, al Qaeda and the Taliban are still going strong and Afghanistan is a huge mess now.

Please, Liz, point out to us where Obama has allowed us to be attacked and has not taken action to defend the country. Oh wait, you meant a 'verbal' attack. So, if Obama doesn't take great offense to something Ortega or Chavez or Ahmadinejad said and threaten to blow their countries to smithereens, he's weak and his citizenship should come into question. Do I have that right?

Defending the country from a foreign military or terrorist attack--not so big a deal. Defending the country from brutal verbal assaults--true patriotism. Got it.

No, Liz, what the right wing crazies are worried about is a president who is half African and has an African first name and Hussein for a middle name. We don't have a monarch as a symbolic national parent figure so the president gets to fill in for the small minded ones. This kind of guy doesn't fit the mold so they have to latch on to anything they can to disqualify him, no matter how crazy. Once again, the best part of the nefarious Obama citizenship scheme was going back in time to the year 1961 and planting birth announcements in both Honolulu newspapers.

Why hasn't Liz Cheney shown us her birth certificate? Until she does, we can't know with complete certainty that she is no the daughter of an alligator.

Oh wait, her dad is Dick Cheney. Never mind.

The reason people really are so concerned is for the first time they have a President who, when they look at him and consider his record and his demeanor and the whole package both domestic and overseas, they think to themselves, wait a minute here,

this guy's black.

That's what really gets at them. At the Liz voters to be. And jumping macacca -- she's setting up against Jim Webb for Virginia Senator in 2012. Telling her base here of a get-out-of-bigotry free they can whip out when they get called out for being the heinous racists that always have been, i.e., they're really concerned about some other malarkey. In a pig's eye!!

Some of these low-lifes will be grateful.

Dear Liz: Gidget called and wants her hair style back.

Jerk Store. I'm goin' with Jerk Store

Leave Liz's hair alone. Wearing a white hood for hours at a time, often around a soaring bonfire, can really mess up your 'do and produce split ends.

Let's get real about the "code" she's talking about here. People are fundamentally uncomfortable with a black man as President and they find it unfathomable that a black man should be the leader of the free world. He isn't "defending" America, because he's inherently a sort of "feriner" .. not a real American. They think he's not a native American, just an African Native. This birther thing feeds into their fundamental belief that blacks are not full humans, much less "real Americans".

Obama is not a conservative Christian. Conservative Christians appear to be on the side of empire and hegemony. If your enemy tongue lashes you,"fight back," they say. I suppose this theology was something that happened with the conversion of the Roman emperor Constantine. It suits empire.

Matthew 5:44 puts a stick through the spokes of that position: "But I (Jesus) tell you to love your enemy, and pray for those who persecute you." Maybe Obama is simply being a Christian. I don't see that fighting back has been very productive. In fact, I think the world has seen (and finally we ourselves have seen) how ugly and brutal we can be.
