Lawsuit Claims Obama Can’t Be President Because He’s Black
This apparently is for real. An Alaskan man, Gordon Warren Epperly, filed a lawsuit to have President Obama removed this November’s ballot because…he’s biracial, or a mulatto. The suit states, in part:
“Barack Hussein Obama II, a.k.a. Barack Hussein Obama, a.ka. Barack H. Obama has the race status of being a “mulatto.” Barack Obama’s father (Barack Hussein Obama I) was a full blood Negro being born Nyang’oma Kogelo, Nyanza Province, Kenya and raised in the Colony of Kenya. Barack Obama’s mother (Stanley Ann Dunham) was a white Caucasian woman being born in Wichita, Kansas on November 29, 1942 and raised in the state of Washington and in the state of Hawaii.
As stated above, for an Individual to be a candidate for the office of president of the United States, the candidate must meet the qualifications set forth in the United States Constitution and one of those qualifications is that the Candidate shall be a “natural born citizen” of the United States. As Barack Hussein Obama II is of the “mulatto” race, his status of citizenship is founded upon the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. Before the [purported] ratification of the Fourteenth Amendment, the race of “Negro” or “mulatto” had no standing to be citizens of the United States under the United States Constitution.
As the fourteenth amendment is only a grant of “civil rights” and not a grant of “political rights” Barack Hussein Obama II does not have and “political rights” under any provision of the United States Constitution to hold any Public Office of the United States government.”
In other words, Epperly still believes that the original framers of the U.S. Constitution meant for only full-blooded Caucasian males to serve as elected officials, mainly president. I already knew the “birther” movement was born of racial hatred and intolerance. But, this move is pure bigotry. White people who wish the United States was a White-only society don’t realize they already have one. It’s called Europe. That’s where Epperly and his like-minded ilk need to go. And, take that idiot Sarah Palin with you!
Quote of the Day
“You have to ask him. I cannot answer that question for anybody … He has said he’s a Christian, so I just have to assume that he is.”
— Franklin Graham, evangelist and son of Billy Graham, saying in an interview he cannot say for sure that President Obama is a Christian. Later in the same interview Graham said he is certain that Republican presidential contender Rick Santorum is a Christian.
Which is like saying, “I’m not sure if the Earth is round. I think it’s round, but I’m still not sure. I have to go to the edge myself to find out.”

Supreme Court to Review Stolen Valor Act

In a unique challenge to the 1st Amendment to the Constitution, the U.S. Supreme Court will review the Stolen Valor Act, a 2006 federal law aimed at curbing false claims of military valor. The Obama Administration has been particularly strident in pursuing violations of the law, but civil rights advocates say it technically violates free speech rights. Some writers, publishers and media outlets, including the Associated Press, have told the Court they worry the law and Obama’s defense of it could lead to more attempts by the government to regulate speech.
The Court’s ruling will be interesting, especially after last year’s controversial Snyder v. Phelps, in which the justices ruled 8 – 1 that the 1st Amendment covers even hate speech. The Stolen Valor Act attempts to suppress false claims of military service, in part, because of the benefits military veterans receive, such as financial aid and medical care. But, it’s also a response to the increased respect for military personnel and what they endure, especially during times of war. Wearing unearned military medals has been a crime for years, but lying about being decorated for military service was beyond the reach of law enforcement.
The House of Representatives has more than once voted to name a post office after men who claimed awards they never received. The Air Force named an award after a man who falsely claimed to have survived the Bataan Death March and been awarded the Silver Star in World War II. The Boxing Writers of America named its perseverance award after the late Pat Putnam of Sports Illustrated because of his made-up tale of surviving a Chinese prisoner of war camp in the Korean War and receiving a Navy Cross.
Pam Sterner, a Colorado woman whose husband, Doug, is a decorated Vietnam veteran, was the genesis for the law when she wrote a paper for her political science course at Colorado State University in Pueblo, CO. The essay had grown out of her husband’s frustration with false claims of heroism. Doug Sterner maintains a database of military citations, including the Medal of Honor, the highest possible award for any military service personnel.
As the son of a Korean War veteran and friend to many other military veterans, I feel the punishment for phony military service claims should be more than public embarrassment. I was upset with the Supreme Court’s ruling in favor of the Phelps gang. If stalking someone and slandering their name is covered by the 1st Amendment, then why, for example, should death threats against the President of the United States be exempt? Our military personnel give more than enough of their time and energy. They don’t need some fool with delusions of grandeur trying to earn special favors from society.
