Senator Mel Martinez (RINO from FL) has suggested that voters have made Barack Obama eligible to occupy the Oval Office, whether or not he meets the constitutional mandate of being a "natural born" citizen. I don't know whether Mr. Obama was born in Kenya or Hawaii, but if the thinking of Senator Martinez is correct, then why even have a constitution at all? Why, we could elect Tony Blair or Vlad Putin if we wanted to.
This is a prime example of the kind of vacuous thinking that pervades our society. The truth is, the voters went to the polls believing that Mr. Obama met consitutional muster. If he did not, then his election is fraudulent. If he knew he did not, then he has committed a serious crime and must be removed from office by the Senate and put on trial for fraud. But to suggest that the will of the voters electing a man under fall pretenses trumps the clear requirements of the United States Constitution is irrational and dangerous. The rule of law is our protection against arbitrary rule. This was our Founders' genius. Again, I don't know the truth about Mr. Obama's birth, but if guys like this continue to run our government, we are clearly heading for the arbitrary rule of an autocratic elite. Maybe we're already there.

This is an illustration of the tyranny of the majority. These socialists don't care about the Constitution. They've long ago perverted it for their own purposes. Now that they are rigging the electoral process, they no longer need a constitution. But I wonder, what ever happened to all our precious rights guaranteed by that piece of parchment? I believe the answer is that as long as you are politically "correct," and you follow the party (Obama/leftist) line, then you don't need "rights." Your political strongman is taking care of your rights, so that you don't have to worry about it, and can spend your time volunteering and "sacrificing." If you're not politically correct, well, then you're a hater, you're a distraction, you're practicing "the same old politics of division," etc. You're not being "bipartisan" or part of the "unity." Why, you're practically a criminal.
