Chuck Norris: Investigative Reporter

Chuck Norris has the first of a three-part serious detailing President Barack Obama's hatred of the Boy Scouts.

Over the past months, a widely circulated e-mail has reported that President Obama is not signing Eagle Scout certificates, which only 4 to 5 percent of Boy Scouts attain. Categorically, Internet watchdog sites like Snopes.com and TruthOrFiction.com have classified the claims as "hogwash." But I have found a steady stream of White House whitewashing when it comes to the Boy Scouts of America.

Fact-checking sites found that the story of Obama refusing to sign Boy Scout certificates is an e-mail urban myth. Scopes.com even produced a photo of a Boy Scout certificate with Obama's signature. Chuck Norris writes for World Net Daily. No web site has tried harder to spread the birther myth than WND. Conspiracy stories are what drives WND's readership.

Below is a photo of a Boy Scout certificate with Obama's signature.



Norris ran this quote he found from the conservative web site Human Events.

"No Eagle recognition letters have been received this year from the president," said Richard Meyers, who attained his Eagle rank in 1957 during the Eisenhower presidency and is now assistant scoutmaster for troop 162 in Arlington County, Va. Meyers made this clarification at a Chain Bridge District 2010 Life-to-Eagle Seminar on Jan. 30, 2010.

The date of Meyers quote is important. Scopes.com fact-checked Norris's op-ed. Scopes.com found that the cut-off was the spring of 2010. World Net Daily re-edited the Norris op-ed to show the date of the Meyers quote. Norris has this bizarre theory that the President is anti-Boyscout. What Norris doesn't know or fails to mention is that Obama was a Boy Scout (or possibly Cub Scout) when he lived overseas. The web site BoyandGirlScouts.com interviewed former classmate Rully Dasaad.

Nice to meet you..yes me and Barry Obama went to school together at Besuki elementary back in 1970 – 1971in Jakarta..he was a good hearted kid,i always play with him everyday during that time..we jointed the boy scout at the same junior A group..our uniform at that time was kakhi shirt and dark brown pants and on our neck we wore red and white small flag(indonesian flag colour)..we learned at that time how to use rope for building camp tent,climbing and others standard use…we also learned how to marching ect…we did camp at that time but its in our class school(in the evening) thats what we learned at the time before we really camp on the mountain side..but Barry Obama never get the chance to camp outside the city to the mountain..unfortunately,he went back to Hawaii in 1972…if you want to see our old school and picture of his former classmates,please check my Facebook..just search my name..thanks for your kind attention..cheers,Rully

Norris represents the many conservatives that will dismiss facts to paint a fantasy that fits their worldview. It is disservice when proper news analyze is needed. I also wonder if people like Norris are borderline mentally ill.

Today In Wingnuttery

Chuck Norris says he may run for President for Texas. Besides the Norris's candidacy for an imaginary office; Norris argues Texas may need to secede from the United States.

On Glenn Beck's radio show last week, I quipped, in response to our wayward federal government, "I may run for president of Texas."
That need may be a reality sooner than we think. If not I, someone someday may again be running for president of the Lone Star State, if the state of the union continues to turn into the enemy of the state.

From the East Coast to the "Left Coast," America seems to be moving farther and farther from its Founders' vision and government.

...I'm not saying that other states won't muster the gumption to stand and secede, but Texas has the history to prove it. As most know, Texas was its own country before it joined the union as the 28th state. From 1836 to 1846, Texas was its own republic. Washington-on-the-Brazos served as our Philadelphia. Washington-on-the-Brazos is where, on March 2, 1836, a band of patriots forged the Texas Declaration of Independence.

Those enemies of the state are voters, Chuck. Norris is mad at secularism. The former action star should read the 1836 Texas Constitution.

SEC. 1. Ministers of the gospel being, by their profession, dedicated to God and the care of souls, ought not to be diverted from the great duties of their functions, therefore, no minister of the gospel or priest of any denomination whatever shall be eligible to the office of the Executive of the Republic, nor to a seat of either branch of the Congress of the same.

In other news: Congressman Bill Posey introduced H.R. 1503. The bill once again brings the debunked Obama birth certificate controversy. Posey explained the bill to Ben Smith.

Opponents of President Bush used the 2000 election results and the court decisions to question the legitimacy of President Bush to serve as President. Opponents of President Obama are raising the birth certificate issue as a means of questioning his eligibility to serve as President. Neither of these situations are healthy for our Republic. This bill, by simply requiring such documentation for future candidates for President will remove this issue as a reason for questioning the legitimacy of a candidate elected as President.

Posey and his office are being disingenuous about their true reasons. Posey's spokesman, George Cecala said "If the president wanted to put an end to the whole thing, he could order Hawaii to release the authentic birth certificate. That’s up to him."

Posey refused to state if Obama is an American citizen.

He added: “I haven’t looked at the evidence. It’s not up to me to look at the evidence … I can’t swear on a stack of Bibles whether he is or isn’t.”

So much for clearing up controversy. The Supreme Court wouldn't even hear a case on Obama's birth certificate. Scopes has debunked the false allegations against the birth certificate's authenicity.

I remember conservative investigate reporters Matt Drudge, Rupert Mudoch and Newsmax telling the public they had DNA proof of Bill Clinton's black child. If any politician would have a love child it would be Clinton. These conservative muckrackers haven't produced the proof or child. I'm still waiting.
