California bar now considering disciplinary action against birther lawyer Orly Taitz
OPS_admin | Mar 19, 2010 | Comments 0
The Republican primary race for California’s secretary of state is turning unusual — to put it mildly.
The Orange County registrar has confirmed that Orly Taitz — the de facto leader of the “birther” movement trying to prove President Obama wasn’t born in the United States — has qualified to run for secretary of state. And her main opponent is a man who has only ever voted once.
Taitz’ move appears to be related to her campaign to have Obama disqualified as president. Secretaries of state are responsible for elections.
Taitz, who has filed and so far lost numerous lawsuits challenging Obama’s eligibility for the presidency, told WorldNetDaily that if elected, she will use her office to pursue an investigation of Obama’s citizenship.

If we don't change our ways soon...
A new report by the Royal Society, chaired by Nobel prize-winning biologist Sir John Sulston warns that world population must be stabilized and consumption in wealthy nations must be reduced or the entire planet is in big trouble. As the report reads: "The number of people living on the planet has never been higher, their levels of consumption are unprecedented and vast changes are taking place in the environment. We can choose to rebalance the use of resources to a more egalitarian pattern of consumption... or we can choose to do nothing and to drift into a downward spiral of economic and environmental ills leading to a more unequal and inhospitable future."This is the same warning that President Jimmy Carter gave Americans back in the 1970's - but it was ignored when Ronald Reagan came to power with a "more positive" message basically telling Americans we can do whatever we want. And then after 9/11 - Bush told us all we should go shopping and consume ever more.And now with corporations calling the shots in Washington - long-term sustainability of the planet takes a back seat to short-term profits. If we don't change our ways soon - and embrace clean, alternative energy and educate women around the plant - then we all could be headed for a rough century.-Thom(Is there any chance we will learn in time?

The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.
