1245 Obama - World Citizen

Newt Gingrich Addresses GOP Fundraiser, June 8, 2009

Let me be clear. I am not a citizen of the world!

I think the entire concept is intellectual nonsense and stunningly dangerous.

There is no world sovereignty. There is no world system of law. There is, in fact, no circumstance under which I would like to be a citizen of North Korea, Zimbabwe, Venezuela, Cuba or Russia. I am a citizen...

I am a citizen of the United States of America, and the rest of this speech is about the United States of America!

America is a unique civilization. Callista and I a couple of years ago did a movie called Re-discovering God in America, which is a walking tour of the city. We did it deliberately. It was our answer to the 9th circuit court, which is, in fact, irrationally out of touch with this country and which actually ruled that One nation under God was unconstitutional, grounds, in my judgment, for abolishing the court and re-recruiting (ph) it.

That is not a radical position. Thomas Jefferson and eliminated 18 out of 35 federal judges, over one half of all federal judges. I am merely proposing one court of appeals. I am a moderate on this issue. But the core of this is a very straightforward historic debate. It's not a theological debate. It's not a religious debate, despite every effort of the elite media and the academic left to distort it. It's a fundamental question of political history.

If you go to the National Archives, you will find the Declaration of Independence, a political document. It says, We are endowed by our creator with certain inalienable rights, among which are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. This is fundamental to the nature of America. We are the only country in history which says your personal rights come from God directly to you, and you loan the government sovereignty, but the center of sovereignty in America is inevitably and inexorably with the citizen because it is inalienable. That's the core document of this country.

That is why quotas and Sotomayor are wrong. That is why rationing in health care is wrong. No government bureaucrat has the right to take from you the rights that God gave you, and rationing under health care is inevitably limiting your life at the whim of a bureaucrat and at the manipulation of a politician!

1246 Obama - Global Baloney

Touche!

Signs put up at several BK's under Memphis-based company called Mirabile Investment Corporation (MIC)

J.J. McNelis MIC's Marketing President:

" would agree that it's a viewpoint, but not necessarily a political one. But we're not sheeple around here, and while Barack Obama would like to have you believe that no one is entitled to have a view other than his, if someone wants to stand up and say "Global Warming is Baloney", then I'm all for it. It doesn't matter to me, whether I believe in it or not. They have first amendment rights to say whatever's on their mind. And nobody dictates otherwise."

What you'd think is a Photoshop gag actually is not. Across the states of Mississippi and Tennessee you'll be seeing this.

Now it's likely just the franchise owner's (Mirabile Investment Corporation) sentiment but how many people can split those hairs.

At least it isn't the typical vulgar character omission from their "Angus Burger" sign. But I digress.

While BK might try to divorce themselves from this lousy PR situation, they also seem to have divorced themselves from Global Warming as well.

Climatecounts.org gives them a big ZERO on their scorecard. To see what that means look at the link.

I have always like Burger King because they have tried new things. Maybe it's that they're forced to take more risks to try to match McDonald's but their Veggie Burger was a great menu item and way back they were ahead of the game when they switched their fry oil to all-vegetarian.

I'll give them the benefit of the doubt that while they haven't publicized their efforts to win over every .org on the net, they do have methane emissions and Global Warming on their radar. But then again,

I'll be paying closer attention now.
