An Alabama State Supreme Court justice earlier this week agreed that findings suggesting Barack Obama presented a forged birth certificate to the nation “would raise serious questions about the [document's] authenticity†if presented as evidence in court.
Though the Alabama court denied a a petition filed by Hugh McInnish seeking to require an original copy of Obama’s birth certificate before the sitting president would be allowed on the state’s ballot in November, Justice Tom Parker filed a special, unpublished concurrence in the case arguing that McInnish’s charges of “forgery†were legitimate cause for concern.
Parker writes, “Mclnnish has attached certain documentation to his mandamus petition, which, if presented to the appropriate forum as part of a proper evidentiary presentation, would raise serious questions about the authenticity of both the ‘short form’ and the ‘long form’ birth...

This may are may not be the case. But it is certainly reasonable in this matter to make that assumption.

He's from Alabama. Why would he go to an out of state court?
Gentlemen, I see we are in agreement about the political environment, though probably not how to handle it? Oh well, The Church in the Political Process.

The Republicans aren't a conservative party. The Democrats aren't an American party. When your choice is between two losers, you are voting against, not for. This year the against is necessary.
Unfortunatly, Dance, I agree. I see no end in site for this disingenuous dance that has been going on for some time now. There is no end in site I'm afraid. Sometimes the conservatives will win and sometimes they will lose, abortion will continue and the homosexual agenda will continue. Nothing will change and we have lost or focus on the Kingdom and spreading the true gospel message. Oh well, let the dance continue...

Perhaps Christianity and the Republican Party are so entwined because the Founding Fathers, as fine a job they did, omitted certain Constitutional provisions to keep liberty in check.
For example, if they had considered the Didache (a 1st/2nd Century catechism), they would have included a passage against abortion in the Constitution. Instead, the country is awash in the blood of the innocents with no end in sight.

Jesus' welding Evangelicals and Catholics together will have no end.

It's gotten so bad that there are some that think you have to be a republican to be a Christian. However, no one can explain why that while they controlled the house, senate and presidency in the last 20 years, not one piece of legislation has been introduced to curb, slow down or stop abortion. We get good lip service, just no action. It has become imperative now for the Christian community in America, to get a republican elected at ALL COST. Sometimes, even at the cost of our witness...
