Are All Conservatives Willing to Defend the Constitution?

[Jim Delaney]

Not on your life!

Mr. Carl Swensson, one of the plaintiff attorneys at the 1/26/12 Obama eligibility hearing in Atlanta, reported that none other than conservative radio talk show host Neal Boortz "berated" the hearing, callling both GA Sec. of State Kemp and Judge Malihi "backwoods hicks who are going to initiate a race war."

 
So far, I haven't been able to confirm if it was Boortz who leveled this attack, or if one of his guests did, but in an interview with Pastor James David Manning (atlah.org) on January 27th, Mr. Swensson attributed the derisive comment and scare-mongering to Neal Boortz himself. Go to YouTube to view the interview for yourselves (www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hxx33V4WuY).

Tragically, I understand conservative icon, Eric Erickson, also cavalierly disparaged the proceedings in Atlanta.

When so-called conservatives either fear or are demonstrably unwilling to defend the Constitution and, instead, attack those who do with dire predictions of gloom and doom, in this case "race wars", this Republic is more than merely teetering on the brink. It's no longer on life support. It's in a coma.

I don't know what scares me more, the threat I see, that being Obama and his neo-Marxist minions, or the vipers slithering silently within our own ranks. Let me hasten to answer my own question: I fear the elusive snake in the grass more, and so too should we all.

Thanks for doing some "in-depth reporting" Jim. We can't find that kind of research being done in the media anymore.

Annette and all,

As promised, I tried reaching Neal Boortz this morning. Was only able to speak to his screener who told me that "he knew nothing about it." I also scoured the audio archives of his radio show and couldn't find anything. So, I'm thinking it was caller, not Neal Boortz himself, who derisively characterized Kemp and Malihi as "backwoods hicks."

I then emailed Pastor Manning who repeated the attribution at the end of his show to determine the validity of the characterizations attributed to Neal. Awaiting a reply.

I then called Carl Swensson who actually took the call. He readily admitted that his report was second hand and that he couldn't verify if, in fact, Neal Boortz had made that statement. We spoke for 10 minutes and I have to tell you he is one of the most humble, sincere, soft spoken, genuinely patriotic and evenhanded man with whom I've ever had the pleasure of speaking. Not once did I detect anything but humility.

I extended my heartfelt thanks to him for his "heroism", likening him to the Founders who were also on the outs with their friends for their principled stand. He was a tad forlorn by the "friends" who had abandoned him,  but, like the Founders, he is determined to "walk the walk" and to do the right thing in order to restore our country to greatness. He described his experience as very humbling and more than once thanked me and others who have called and donated to the effort for their encouragement and support, without which his lonely struggle would be much more difficult, both procedurally and personally.

I ask that you please go to his website (www.riseupforamerica.com) and send a much-needed donation to the cause. A phonecall to buoy his spirits might be helpful as well (678-438-6138). He is a man of stellar character and grace. Simply a great America.

As for the words attributed to Boortz, I can do no more. Still can't absolutely determine one way or the other if Neal made that statement, or, as said, if a caller did.

Jim, I hope it wasn't Boorst either - please do let me know.  Thanks. Annette

[Jim Delaney]

Right on, Philip. I say bring it on!

[PHILIP SCHNEIDER]

I would guess there are so-called conservatives deathly afraid of Obama eligibility issues because they fear a race riot if Obama is NOT allowed to run for a second term. They also are afraid to face the gargantuan possibility of rewriting all those rules, regulations, laws, and directives which occurred with Obama's signatures, if his eligibility is proven to be fraudulent.

If we are convinced that Obama is and was NOT eligible to be president we MUST be prepared to face a race riot and deal with the reversal of thousands perhaps millions of pages law and history.

You think this is going to be easy . . . . you think we're done if Obama isn't reelected? You think our responsibility ends because the task seems beyond our means to rectify? Our job begins when Obama is left on the dust/dirt/debris heap of the democrat machine waste bin.

Teresa,

We'd all best clearly focus on the issues of  "natural born citizenship" ineligibility and social security fraud issues. They are slamdunkers. All the rest is sheer speculation.

[Jim Delaney]

Annette,

I too was incredulous. Replayed the YouTube interview three times. Swensson is clearly attributing the comments to Neal. Since Neal's info could be secondhand, I will be calling the Boortz radio show tomorrow (877-310-2100) for the skinny. (Am thinking Erickson, a guest, may well have been the source. But, again, I will confirm tomorrow and leave a comment. Hope it wasn't Neal. Bummer.) 

[Teresa Smith]

I listen to Boortz, and he is insulting a lot of the time. I really dont care for him. He also bans any calls on abortion. He wont speak on the subject. Im sick to death of people being called birthers. I once was one, but believe Malcolm X was his father, and Stanley Ann married Barack Obama Sr. because Malcolm X  New his baby would be a target too. I do believe O is a Muslim. I do believe he was groomed to destroy America. Just my thoughts.

[Annette Akerman]

Thqat certainly doesn't sound like Boortz, but I think I would make a call to the radio station to clarify whether it was or not.  You can do that, you know. However, any enemy, seen or unseen, is still the enemy.
