Anderson659 - Arizona Will Require Proof of Citizenship

Donald Trump has reignited the birther issue with president Obama. Many believe that the media shames those who want to see the Obama birth certificate into complacent silence.Obama however, is not the first president to have a citizenship issue that should have, or would have kept him from the office of the presidency.

Chester Arthur was not a US born citizen. Chester Arthur's father was a British subject who became a United states citizen in 1843. Chester Arthur future president of the United states was born in 1829, making him at best case scenario, a dual citizen, and at the time of his birth a British citizen.

It would appear that Chester Arthur pulled a fast one in his time, lying about his parentage history. Athur was ineligible to be president and obviously he knew this, yet went ahead with his fraud. My guess is that there would have been those in the media that knew of his ineligibility in that time and kept quiet or assisted in the lie. Arthur was a Republican, of some reported ill repute, and tied to machine politics at the time.

Greg Dehler, a historian has copies of the microfiches of his parents in his book "Chester Allen Arthur"

If the Obama birth certificate shows he was born in Kenya or outside of the USA, or his father and mother were not naturalized citizens, or Obama was issued an amended birth certificate because he was adopted, he will not be the first to perpetrate a fraud on the American people.

The Arizona legislature just passed a law that awaits the signature of the governor demanding proof of eligibility to be on the ballot in Arizona. I think that proving you hold the qualifications the American people want to hire you to perform is nothing more than basic procedure given the fact the American people may have been fooled twice.

Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.

anderson659 - Steve Benson, the Contrary Mike Adams.

The Arizona Republic has an acclaimed editorial cartoonist by the name of Steve Benson, who authors editorial cartoons circulated in many newspapers. Whenever a Benson cartoon is published, within a day or two, or even the same night, readers of the Arizona Republic may offer Benson comments about his cartoon in the on-line forum.

Benson claims that his interaction is the desire of his boss, to encourage "robust" exchanges with the readers. Benson is up all hours of the night defending his cartoon of the day. Steve Benson writes some of the most far left cartoons imaginable, not surprising, many readers of the Arizona Republic, a newspaper owned by the Gannett corporation, find Benson cartoons unacceptable and not at all humorous.

Does the name "Benson " ring a bell? It should. Steve Benson is the great grandson of Ezra Taft Benson, the late head of the Mormon church. I completely disagree with the Mormon church for many reasons, but the devolution of Benson from a conservative with family values and conservative, principled upbringing, to an unbridled over the top militant far left progressive, a contrary Mike Adams, is unique.

Here are excerpts from Steve Benson's acceptance speech on Nov. 5 following presentation of a "Tell It Like It Is" Freethought in the Media award at the 22nd annual FFRF convention in San Antonio in 1999.

"I've been asked to share with you what it's like to go from being a born-in-the-bed Mormon to a born-in-the-head atheist; from a Latter-day Saint to a Latter-day Ain't."

"It was also stupid. Dr. Robert Ellis, a psychotherapist, notes, "Either religion appeals to the stupid, or religion results in stupid people."

"As with the misuse of bug poison, the injection of religious propaganda into an otherwise normal human being infects the mind and sickens the system, quashing natural curiosity, discouraging healthy skepticism and spreading the plagues of nonsense and hate"

"Leave it to the mentally ill to help us realize that the mind created God, not the other way around."

There are many more of these statements in this acceptance speech clearly identifying Steve Benson as a far left progressive, and a very aggressive militant atheist.

Steve Benson like Mike Adams, is also an admitted gun owner, a Glock is his choice, and some time ago he was either a reserve police officer or a person who wanted to be a reserve police officer in his community.

After the Tucson shootings, Benson authored cartoons that demonized Sarah Palin for the shooting of Gabrielle Giffords, his cartoon was as dastardly a hit piece as I have ever seen. Here is a response by Benson himself as to why he went after Sarah Palin:

"By the way, before folks here think that I may have gone too “sentimental,” my Palin gun-sites cartoon (drawn because she had posted an awful Facebook rant defending her anti-Giffords cross-hairs map the very day Obama was in Arizona) has got me holy hell nationwide.

But the value of one’s contribution to the discussion, if you will, can arguably and to some degree be determined by the enemies it generates.

Enter the Tea Party-type mob.

I’m not complaining about the rabid reaction from the fringe to the cartoon, since it has brought them into the arena for debate over all kinds of relevant issues–gun laws, political rhetoric, mental health issues, etc.–and where it is, quite frankly, fairly easy to pick their arguments clean of any substance.

That debate, particularly in Arizona, is raging.

It’s ugly out there–and when Palin got ugly, I went for the jugular.

I just hate it when folks slur me by describing my work as too nice."

I encourage all conservatives to log on to Arizona Central and register for a free account. Benson believes he can take apart any conservative, on any issue. Benson will defend his cartoons, they usually come out a couple days a week, and they can be located in the "Opinion" section. Those conservatives that tackle Benson will find a lot of militant progressivism, when Benson is taken to task and loses, he has the offending replies deleted or the account deleted.

That way Benson always wins. The way of the progressive
