DISQUS

The Washington Independent: McCain Campaign Investigated, Dismissed Obama Citizenship Rumors

  • andy c · 5 months ago
    To all the non-Birthers here: stop wasting your time. There is NO evidence that will ever convince these people. They are essentially making a religious argument: the conclusion was decided first, for highly emotional reasons that will never be re-considered. They don't care that their facts are false and their reasoning is nutty. Anything that supports the pre-made conclusion must be true. The overwhelming sea of evidence to the contrary is automatically negated: they won't hear anything they don't want to. This is not about facts.

    They've been fed a lot of angry lies and told that it makes them special.

    Even the most intellectual-sounding arguments, full of weird twists on cherry-picked, black-sheep citations and total fabrications written in big legal words, are a dead giveaway. They keep holding up the word "objective". But an objective investigation lays out *all* the data and follows where it leads. Even the best Birther arguments are carefully structured like a long flow chart with every box pointing to the same conclusion. The sea of contrary data is omitted or denied as just part of the big conspiracy.

    Please, let them go tire themselves out. In a way, it's very convenient. It's like the Republican party has a built-in rubber room where they can all keep themselves company.

    The problem for the butt-sucking Obamaphiles ("ll the non-Birthers here") is that they're the ones who have "NO evidence" to support their blind-faith contention that Barry Soetoro (looks like he didn't legally change his name back to "Barack Hussein Obama, Jr." after having been adopted by Lolo Soetoro as a child) is lawfully qualified to have run for or to hold the office of President of these United States.

    And knew it long before he announced his candidacy for that office, meaning that among his other criminal offenses, he's pretty much sewed up the issue of criminal mens rea with regard to felony violation of a boatload of federal campaign laws, not to mention the precipitation of the most spectacular constitutional crisis since "old Clay Whig" Abe Lincoln refused to remove his tax collectors from a tariff duty station smack in the middle of a foreign country's major seaport.

    And this thing just will not "go away" as the Obamaphiles would like. Even the National Socialists' captive drive-by media organs are reporting on it. Associated Press gave up trying to ignore it to death, and slammed together a hack job that got published in newspapers nationwide yesterday.

    The arbiters on this Web site won't allow me to post a link directly to the article. Use a search engine and enter "Associated Press" and "David Crary" and "Doubters" to locate it online. It'll come up.

    Unless, of course, the Obamaphiles have scrubbed it already, the way they're sending everything on the Web pertinent to their Mombasa Messiah's "birth certificate" embarrassment down the Memory Hole.

    You may not be old enough to remember '72, andy, but I am.

    Smells a whole helluva lot like Watergate redux t'me.

    Every time a birther is shown a web link to, or hard copy of Obama's official birth certificate (you know, the one that is recognized by the federal government when applying for a passport), they pull the equivalent of a 9-year old covering his ears and shouting "nyah, nyah, nyah, I can't hear you!"

    You can lead right wingers to the truth, but you cannot make them embrace it.

    Each state has its own standard for an official record of birth.

    With respect to the true motivations of the birthers, fundamentally, it comes down to the following mindset: "I cannot accept THAT man in the White House because.... (fill in the blank)."

    Just about ANY reason will do -- any excuse that will legitimize their race-based outrage.  If it wasn't about a birth certificate, it would be about his middle name. (He's a closet Muslim, you know.)

    In addition, there are a handful of unscrupulous politicians and pundits who, although not necessarily racist themselves, have no problem capitalizing on the bigotry of others by fueling their fear and hatred of Obama in order to score political points or further a personal agenda.
  • majordomo · 5 months ago
    labman57, you hit the nail smack dab dead center! The repuglicans are using the ignorance of the birther movement to create civil disobedience and unrest allowing the underlying racial bigotry to surface. It's nothing more than Kabuki Theatre being played on the political stage and the birthers are nothing more than the willing puppets completely unaware its nothing but a show.
  • Chris H. · 5 months ago
    Your first comment is incorrect. If you were to print out this photoshopped piece of shit, the passport issuer would send you home. So, first of all, posting incorrect info to try to sound authoritative.

    Secnd point about the truth, seems to apply more to you based on #1 above.

    The rest of it is ignorant drivel, only worth clarification in that this is for many (and there are MANY and growing) people, a matter of constitutional law, and not personal bias. You however seem to be pretty satisfied blidly accusing many around you of racism,etc-- If anything you seem to destroy your own credibility while at the same time lending credence to those who pursue this issue because of a love for the rule of the law of our nation, rather than blind allegiance to the office of the presidency.

    I have followed the Obama eligibility issue from the beginning. At first I thought it was nothing more than a political smear tactic, however as more information comes out about it the more I believe that he is not eligible for the office of POTUS. I even contacted the Secretary of State's Office both in Illinois and my home state of Tennessee. Both offices stated that they do not verify that candidates meet the eligibility requirements for candidates. The only thing that is required is that the candidate sign a statement saying that they are eligible.

    Many seem to be blurring the lines between the terms 'citizen' and 'natural born citizen'. The term 'natural born citizen' has never clearly been defined by our legal system although statements made by people involved with framing the US Constitution appear to indicate that a 'natural born citizen' is an individual born to two US citizen parents and not owing allegiance to any foreign governments.

    When asked to define natural born citizen, John Bingham, the author of the 14th ammendment which extended the bill of rights to former slaves, stated, "Every human being born to parents who are US citizens and are under no other jurisdiction or authority." The Naturalization Act of 1790, also passed by this congress, declared "And the children of citizens of the US shall be considered as natural born, provided that the right of citizenship shall not descend to persons whose fathers have never been a resident of the US." Neither of these definitions mentions birthplace, only the citizenship of the parents.

    http:/ / www. fightthesmears.com/articles/5/birthcertificate
    “When Barack Obama Jr. was born on Aug. 4,1961, in Honolulu, Kenya was a British colony, still part of the United Kingdom’s dwindling empire. As a Kenyan native, Barack Obama Sr. was a British subject whose citizenship status was governed by The British Nationality Act of 1948. That same act governed the status of Obama Sr.‘s children.”

    In the case of Obama, his father was NOT a US citizen, regardless of where Obama was born. As a minor, he lived in Indonesia for several years and school records there indicate that he had Indonesian citizenship, while at that time Indonesia did not recognize dual citizenship. As an adult in college, he traveled to Pakistan and it has been questioned as to what country issued the passport he traveled on. An individual involved in illicitly accessing Obama's passport records was murdered, shot in his vehicle (http://www.federaljack.com/2009/07/11/key-witne...). Obama has spent nearly $1 million trying to prevent the release of documents that nobody should have a problem releasing when applying for the office of POTUS, or for that matter, ANY job. These documents include his long form birth certificate (in his book Dreams of My Father he states on page 26 that he has it), his college application and records, his grad school application and records (these documents state citizenship and financial aid being received), his published news articles for the Havard Law Journal as the editor, his medical history, and his US passport travel history.

    The COLB that he has published proves nothing, even the State of Hawaii will not accept that as proof that he was born there. The birth announcements also prove nothing. I was born in Louisiana, yet my birth announcement showed up in a newspaper in Indiana because my grandmother called the paper to have it put in since my parents had both grown up there.

    The bottom line is that where there is smoke there is fire, and Obama's actions in trying to conceal these documents, documents that anyone not having something to hide would have revealed immediately, speaks volumes. These are the same documents that I had to produce when applying for an entry level security position with police/sheriff/probation departments. Obama is NOT my president because he has not shown that he is eligible.

    "I even contacted the Secretary of State's Office both in Illinois and my home state of Tennessee."

    Don't stop there. Look up every GOP politician you can find and contact them. Urgently and frequently.

    Assemble outside their offices in areas where the lighting is good for television cameras. Sing patriotic songs spontaneously. Speak in tongues and wail for the slain unborn if you can remember. Bring signs from home.

    But the main thing is, do not give up. Pay no attention to the GOP RINO's who try to write this off as an idiotic pursuit that is only taken up by a handful of crazies (Ann Coulter) or the weak-kneed drafter of the birth certificate bill, Tom Campbell (R - CA) who admitted on Hardball that he believes President Obama was born in Hawaii.

    Stick with the REAL leaders. GOP men and women of substance, family values, and the good sense to pay off their mistresses and EACH of their mistresses' children, without leaving one little guy out in the cold.

    But don't give up. Your country needs you to focus all your attention and energy, and that of your like-minded friends and representatives, on this issue to the exclusion of all others.

    "John Bingham, the author of the 14th ammendment"

    Gee, what does the 14th amendment actually say?

    First line: Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.

    Since SarahPAC can't give its money to Palin, you birthers should ask if you can use the money to make signs that you can hold up at GOP town hall meetings and ALL health care debates.

    To get you started, I thought of a few obvious ones.

    "Don't Re-distribute My Email"

    "Socialism is a fascist plot by communist followers of Noam Chomsky"

    "Where'd the Burrito Lady Go?"

    "Show me your tits and I'll show you my birth certificate!"

    "The President is a Democrat!"

    "I care more about your unborn baby than my lack of healthcare"

    "Where's Kenya on ANY Legit Map?"

    "Doesn't ANY black guy know enough to comply with the law?"

    "Where can I buy Oxycontin and Adderall at the same time?"

  • stephenperry · 4 months ago
    Rachel makes for a good example of the correlation between a Fox viewer's tendency to absorb information without question and said Fox viewer voting against his or her own interests by voting Republican.

    Beyond that I don't think there's really a "Rachel." Posts of this length that purport to be from birthers are usually cut-and-pasted from the internet, with different names and personal stories. Many purport to be from Democrats, or black people, or veterans. It's an attempt to gain credibility before spewing nonsense.

    "Rachel" gives it away by indicating that although she followed closely from the beginning and once thought it a political smear tactic, she has come to believe that President Obama is not eligible.

    Fail. No one who paid attention to this year-old story became MORE convinced as time passed. If anything you click on one or two links and see a birth certificate and then get back to looking at your friends' worst dates on Facebook.

    Utter, long-winded, non-plausible fail.

    Keep it up Tuci, you're just proving the point that you birthers are making leaps of faith even the most ardent religious cleric couldn't fathom. And keep up with the insulting about the President and supporters. Barry Sotero, AKAObama , Obamamessiah, The One, Usuper (do you even know what the word means?) Obamabots, Obots etc.

    The more I read you and the other birther's nonsense,the more I keep wondering why you just cannot accept the truth. The reaches you and other birthers have made are beyond all normal reason or any reason for that matter. but then I realize it's born of pure hatred, pure unreasoning hatred, and of course racism.

    You keep pulling things out of thin, VERY thin air and just run with it screaming down the road, "The truth, the truth, the truth" as if anyone with more than two brain cells to rub together believes any of the idiocy you post.

    I've read every excuse birthers like you and even some of the more rabid ones, have stated and not one of them is anymore than conjecture, dream wishes, hatred, and in most cases, pure racism.

    And just look at the morons who have no actual understanding of the legal aspects, such as your fellow birther claiming he is only half America. THAT is hilarious.

    But then again, all of you birhters are pretty danged funny to read.

    And even if Barry were the President - the point of this discussion is the happy, entirely-too-damned-plausible-for-your-comfort contention that by law (that pesky old Article II, Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution) "President" is precisely what your paradigm of political prevarication AIN'T - what's wrong with "insulting" the miserable shitebag?

    I never called Bush the Douchebag in chief and in fact that is the first time I personally have heard or seen that. I referred to him as Shrub ever so often but more often than not a Bush.

    And let's be honest here, the man was an idiot. Couldn't even carry on a conversation without sounding like he hadn't a fifth grade edumacation sometimes. It's great to hear a president who speaks damned near perfect English, has a grasp of the subject matter and doesn't have this idiot act of "Bring 'em on" nonsense.

    But back to you tinfoil hat brigade members (tell us are you an officer or just an enlisted man? AND what rank?) do ANY of you have the ability to comprehend actual real life English?

    That phoney simulation of an Oil Patch shitkicker was (and still is) an act. Perfectly rehearsed, carefully polished, and deliberately fabricated to make Dubbya appealing to precisely the cadres of confused and witless "Flyover Country" oafs who voted him twice into the White House.

    By definition, a con man capable of gulling millions of people - and getting away with things like the USA PATRIOT Act and the Heimatsicherheitsdienstand his bankster buddies' TARP One - is anything but an "idiot," rog.

  • Tuci78 · 4 months ago
    Calm. The hell. Down.

    First, neither you nor anybody else - not even the most ardent, ass-kissing Obamaphile infesting this forum - has ever seen hide nor hair of Barry Soetoro's "birth certificate." Nobody except the bureaucrats of the state government of Hawaii have, and they're very carefully not saying what the hell that birth certificate reveals about our Fraudulence-in-Chief except that (a) he was born, and (b) like his younger maternal half-sister, Maya Soetoro-Ng, there's enough information on file for the state of Hawaii to issue him a Certification of Live Birth if he were to ask for one.

    Not that he had been born in Honolulu as he had sworn when he signed multiple documents certifying that he is a "natural born citizen" of these United States during the National Socialist Party's presidential primaries, but that the state of Hawaii had some sort of birth certificate on file for him.

    That his alleged biological father had been a foreigner is neither here nor there, save as it serves to explain his birth in Mombasa. For all anyone knows, Barry's last name might well be "Davis" or "Little." Stanley Ann Duham slept around a lot. He does not have to be biologically "100% American" except that the patch of the planet where he first drew breath has to have been in these United States for him to qualify as a "natural born" instead of a naturalized citizen.

    Barry's claimed Kenyan daddy - a British subject at the time of Barry's birth - would no more detract from that third-generation red diaper baby's grown-up citizenship status - whether born in Mombasa as he had been or in Honolulu as he would like the nation to think - today. Barry is a U.S. citizen.

    Just not a "natural born" U.S. citizen, and therefore not qualified to sit as President of these United States.

    That is quant. suff. for this recipe.

    That someone who is born to two alien parents on US soil is a natural born citizen and even if the parents return to their home country where the child acquires a double allegiance, he can, upon reaching the age of majority, return to the United States and continue his natural born birth right which would allow him to run for president.
    There is no such thing as 50% US citizen.

    Let me walk you through some relevant quotes

    Rawle's View of the Constitution of the United States (page 86) it is said:

    "Every person born within the United States, its territories or districts, whether the parents are citizens or aliens, is a natural-born citizen within the sense of the constitution, and entitled to all the rights and privileges appertaining to that capacity."
    </bloclquote>


    Moreover, if, as is suggested, he was born to the advantages of a double allegiance, upon attaining his majority he exercised the right which was his, of electing the government to which he would give allegiance, and that election related back to the time of birth. Upon these authorities, La Fayette had by birth what his father did not then have, citizenship of the United States and of the state of Massachusetts. This privilege neither needed nor received any strengthening by reflection from the subsequent naturalization of his father. He held it to the fullest extent in his own, and that the highest, right. ..."


    In Re Look Tin Sing, 10 Sawyer 353, 21 Fed. Rep. 905 (Fed. Cir. (Ca.) 1884)

    After an exhaustive examination of the law, the Vice-Chancellor said that he entertained no doubt that every person born within the dominions and allegiance of the United States, whatever the situation of his parents, was a natural-born citizen; and added, that this was the general understanding of the legal profession, and the universal impression of the public mind.


    Town of New Hartford v. Town of Canaan, 5 A. 360 (Ct. S.Ct. 1886):

    n Lynch v. Clarke, 1 Sandf. Ch. 584, it is said as follows:

    "Upon principle, therefore, I can entertain no doubt but that, by the law of the United States, every person born within the dominion and allegiance of the United States, whatever were tlie situation of his parents, is a natural-born citizen. It is surprising that there has been no judicial decision upon this question. None was found by the counsel who argued this cause, and, so far as I have been able to ascertain, it never has been expressly decided in any of the courts of the respective states or of the United States. This circumstance itself, in regard to a point which must have occurred so often in the administration of justice, furnishes a strong inference that there has never been any doubt but that the common-law rule was the law of the land. This inference is confirmed and the position made morally certain by such legislative, judicial, and legal expositions as bear upon the question. Before referring to those I am bound to say that the general understanding of the legal profession, and the universal impression of the public mind, so far as I have had the opportunity of knowing it, is that birth in this country does of itself constitute citizenship



    Perkins v. Elg, 307 U.S. 325 (1939):


    Second. It has long been a recognized principle in this country that, if a child born here is taken during minority to the country of his parents' origin, where his parents resume their former allegiance, he does not thereby lose his citizenship in the United States provided that, on attaining majority he elects to retain that citizenship and to return to the United States to assume its duties."


    and

    The court below, properly recognizing the existence of an actual controversy with the defendants [page 350] ..... declared Miss Elg "to be a natural born citizen of the United States," and we think that the decree should include the Secretary of State as well as the other defendants. The decree in that sense would in no way interfere with the exercise of the Secretary's discretion with respect to the issue of a passport, but would simply preclude the denial of a passport on the sole ground that Miss Elg had lost her American citizenship.


    Hope this helps

    Wrong again. Sorry my friend. Natural Born merely means native born
    For example:

    Afterwards however in Convention the words natural born citizen were stricken out and the word native was substituted as the original words might have left an uncertainty as to the meaning of the Convention for natural born citizen might have had some reference to the manner of birth while the word native would refer more particularly to the place of birth

    What does that have to do with Article II of the Constitution which was formed from Vattel's definition of "natural born" citizen and John Jay's comments to George Washington not wanting Foreigners in government.

    There is no evidence for the former and as to the latter, the intent was to prevent indeed foreigners from being naturalized and run for president. Only those born on US soil could do so.

    The suggestion that the article was based on Vattel runs counter to the Supreme Court cases which refer to Blackstone and Common Law, not Vattel.

    A friend of mine gave me a great idea. All of you birthers believe the non birthers are dumber than rocks. How can you be expected to reason with such simple people? We’re idiots at best. It must be very frustrating for you. We were dumb enough to vote for President Obama, how can we be expected to be rational?

    Why try to convince us? Use the system. Call all of your Republican State and Federal legislators and demand they take action and kick that Kenyan, socialist out of office NOW. Call and email them. Then call and email again. Nothing they do today is more important that this. Go to the top, Michael Steele. Provide the same links and other concrete proof you’ve been presenting here today.

    I wouldn’t bother your Democrat legislators because they won’t listen. They were dumb enough to vote for President Obama so they are a lost cause. Bring it up after Church tomorrow. Email all of your friends. Go door to door. Take it to the streets.

    If I truly believed a foreigner was POTUS I would be all over this. I wouldn't be posting here until I contacted my State and Federal legislators. I would do it every day till they took action. Online petitions are OK but go to the legislators and demand they do their jobs TODAY.

    Also suggest that all of them start wearing their BC next to their Flag pin as a statement.

    Aw, not only "dumber than rocks," jimmie. I'm sure that other "birthers" will join me in offering the opinion that you Obamaphiles are also corrupt, tyrannous, Keynesian (or you'd acknowledge Keynes as the guiding light of what we'll laughingly call Barry Soetoro's "economic policy" if you weren't too damned stupid to know who Keynes had been), socialist, "transnational progressives" (short term is "Tranzi"), morally bankrupt, evil beyond all possible redemption, scum of the earth, the dregs of humanity -

    (( "Now, dear. They can't be scum and dregs at the same time!" ))

    - pathogenic in every aspect of your existences, and rotten to the core. You're also spectacular "reverse racists," but that goes along with the Tranzi thing.

    Have I left out anything? Well, I can post more later.

    And it's not what you might or might not have "believed," jimmie. But - beyond the fact that your sad sack of shit Barry Soetoro conned his way through an election and into the White House, what do you REALLY know about him?

    As usual Tuci the test-taker is talking out of his ass but the fingers he jammed up there muffle the words.

    I used to be mildly amused by that guy, then I felt bad about his obvious mental instability. Now the thing I pay most attention to is his death threats against our President. Either way, he's a total fuckup and not worth the time it takes to poke him with a long stick.

    Well, it's http://www.denbeste.nu/external/Fonte01.html

    The mistake I made in posting the link to The Obama Timeline was purely typographical. I forgot a space between the colon and the insertion of the URL, rendering it "unclickable."

    The consensus agreement in these fora, jimmie, is that if you don't bitch about people's typos and such nonsense, they won't bitch about yours. Verstehen sie?
  • stephenperry · 4 months ago
    No matter what you do, there will be something to bitch about.

    The consensus is that if you post in good faith, typo's are overlooked.

    If you post hideous racist invective and anti-government lunacy, expect your filth to be thrown back at you.

    And the irony of you, who think you're God's gift to books no one gives a shit about, trying to call someone else out for an error is only slightly less gargantuan than the irony of you, who couldn't get someone to piss on you if you were on fire, trying to speak to what the consensus rules are here.

    Death threats against the President are even more out of bounds than your racist nonsense spewed all over the site.

    So shut the fuck up. Figuratively. I don't care what you say. It's what you type. But the more you do it, the better everyone else looks for not doing it. So it's your decision, test-taker. You'll make the wrong decision. You always do.

All of them, remember, are "class effect" linked to the induction of symptoms and signs of metabolic syndrome, and your psychiatrist ought to be checking your blood pressure at each visit.

    Let's see, now it's "hideous racist invective" and "anti-government lunacy"...

    Well, the latter is certainly fair. Like other constitutionalists, I'm assuredly "anti-" THIS government.

    "Death threats" psychotically drawn from satirical expressions of hatred for stevie's malignant socialist Fraudulence-in-Chief - like hating Barry Soetoro isn't a civic virtue? More of the old "racist" crapola, a censoring admonition to "shut the fuck up"...

    Wow, you certainly know how to abandon reason and logic in your pursuit of dislike of our President.
    I am not sure what your intentions are but convincing is likely not one of them.
  • Tuci78 · 4 months ago
    It's "reason and logic" that gives me to "dislike" (too mild a word by far!) our Fraudulence-in-Chief.

    My intentions are to amuse myself while pursuing Barry Soetoro's arrest, indictment, conviction, and incarceration on myriads of state and federal criminal charges, with the added hope that exercise of the RICO Act will catch up the entirety of the National Socialist Party leadership and as many of the Republicans as can be managed. Destroying ACORN will be incidental thereunto.

    I'm just intent upon the equivalent of debriding a decubitus ulcer on the American body politic. Gotta get all that corrupt, necrotic crap out and off before healing can begin.

    And if you're an Obamaphile, who could possibly describe you as susceptible to "convincing," anyway?
  • nbc1 · 4 months ago
    I understand your sentiments and your hopes even though they are far removed from reality. As I pointed out many of those who are 'birthers' are upset by Obama having won the elections and now that he is implementing his promises, they feel a threat.

    Amuse yourself, there is plenty of time till 2012.
  • Tuci78 · 4 months ago
    "A man's reach should exceed his grasp, else what's a heaven for?"

    Or something like that. I'm not "upset" that Barry Soetoro won the election; the choice was between cholera and bowel cancer, and bowel cancer "won."

    I'm "upset" (if anything) that this reeking, lying sonofabitch should've gotten even to throw his hat into the National Socialist Party's ring to contend for the nomination in the first place. He is so bogus, so thoroughly rotten, such an unwavering "red diaper baby" of a stinking Tranzi that the chain should've been pulled on him before he even slimed into the Illinois state senate.

    I don't "dislike" him for the tiny trace of Luo blood in his body (that "touch of Negritude" that's supposed to be so powerful) but because of what we'll call for courtesy's sake his politics.

    If he were as pale as milk, blue-eyed, blond-haired, and his first name was "Sven," I'd hate him no less heartily - and so should you, if you have any goddam sense at all.

    I read this soulless libertarian crap and long for Republicans. When they figure out that your masters want to put the whole of the US government in a grass hut, they may even ask then if Uncle Sam truly needed to be drowned in a bathtub.

    Where has the Plutocrat-utopia you want so badly been tried? (the absense of any notion of 'We the People) If the US spends ~20% GNP on the federal government, then what is the perfect number that your forgotten arcane knowledge suggests? What models do we have to see the libertarian utopia in operation?

    The liberals know of none; wait till the Republicans figure out what you really want to do. We learned balanced history, not libertarian nonsense history...
    You are trying to make Americans hate her whole history, bit by bit, pocket by pocket. Both political parties have long usurpations to what?

    If you didnt notice this is the wealthiest planet in the history of earth. In the last 100 years, Democrats and Rebublicans built this. Where the fuck where you?


    There is no such thing as government by quoting an endless lists of quotes by plutocratic cranks.
  • Tuci78 · 4 months ago
    Oh, the Republicans hate the hell out of libertarians. As one astonished Republican flunky reported, wide-eyed and pale, after meeting with a group of libertarians back in the '70s:

    "They're pro-choice on EVERYTHING!"

    Think "Bourbon Democrat," fitz, and you'll have something of a handle on what libertarians want of civil government. Only a bit less.

    Well, hell. A lot less.

    As for our "wealthiest planet" (yeah, I know; you mean "nation"), the Republicans (as Whigs and then under that "try to pass as Jeffersonian" handle) have been plundering that wealth ever since they cankered up on the scene back in the early 19th Century, by way of Clay's "American System." The Democrats went into the tank pretty much completely by 1912, when the progressives/populists/"Liberal" assholes took over and started sliding socialism into the nation's weasand like a well-sharpened assassin's knife.

    All of that wealth, fitz, could and would be much greater if the people producing it could keep more of it in their hands, instead of being subjected to government (and government suck-ups') depredations.

    Aw, hell. You're obtuse and opaque, ain'tcha? I could recommend some reading to you, but you wouldn't take the assignment.

    Gotta keep your willful ignorance intact, don'tcha?
  • jjfitz · 4 months ago
    The wealthy have always complained so, while living in a society powerful enough to protect their wealth. Was it the libertarians that created public schools? was it the libertarians that demanded children be in schools rather than factories? Or was it the commies you hate so much? The wealthy like to pretend that the 98% literacy rate destroys them, actually it protects their wealth. Thanks to many of the things that the wealthy hated, this society is powerful enough to protect wealth better than any society EVER.
  • Tuci78 · 4 months ago
    Nah. "The wealthy" have always bought government power, the better to screw the non-wealthy. What part of the long and filthy history of the Whig Party (and its false front, the Republican Party) don't you understand?

    Big money always buys (or rents) politicians. The only way to keep big money from buying advantage in the form of government goons-with-guns holding the "big money" types victims down for gang rape is denying the politicians the power to do what the "big money" guys want done.

    Small government - confined, constrained, highly limited, "frugal" (in Jefferson's word) - is what you want, if you're not a total stupe. You want the officers of your government to be pretty much helpless and powerless and able to function only as "public servants" and not as civil masters.

    "The two enemies of the people are criminals and government, so let us tie the second down with the chains of the Constitution so the second will not become the legalized version of the first."

    As for who "demanded children be in schools rather than factories," it wasn't the monied interests. It was organized labor. Child labor out-competed them in a lot of jobs. The government indoctrination systems where the kids wound up, now...

    Well, that's a wonderful story. Look up Horace Mann and his ilk, and then look into the writings of teacher John Taylor Gatto.

    Especially look into the history of the Pledge of Allegiance and find online images of the "Bellamy salute."

    "Seig Heil!"

    There's a helluva lot they didn't want you to learn in school, fitz. Might be surprised. Who knows?

    In Hamlet the politician Polonius declares that "Brevity is the soul of wit", continues to enlarge upon Hamlet's supposed madness. The impatient Queen dryly demands "More matter with less art," that is, more substance and less rhetoric.

    You may also want to refer to Hamlet's line "there is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so."

    Test-taker here could take an undoubtedly good idea, like the Federal interstate highway system or the standing armed forces, and, merely by running it through his IBM Selectric of a brain, spit out something entirely indefensible about what's wrong with those two things.

    You gonna accomplish all that from the computer in the library in the town where you've gone to rust away, living only for the day when your disability check arrives in the mail?

Now if only you had any intelligence whatsoever, I could compare you to any other politician. But none of them, again, are dumb enough to threaten violence against the President, like you've done dozens of times. Not even Campbell, who got embarrassed by Chris Matthews on Hardball, is dumb enough to say what you said.

    So it's just as well that you'll never have a career in politics. You never had a career in anything else, either. Otherwise you wouldn't spend your time projecting your misery and fear of power onto people who wouldn't stop their motorcade to inspect your facial lesions.

The chest surgeon who wrote the first M*A*S*H novel (after having served in Korea in one of the 8th Army mobile hospitals) liked the film, but hated the left-wing fantasy of the television program. I feel pretty much the same way about the two different derivatives of his work.

    Hawkeye Pierce - as written by Dr. Hornberger - was a decidedly conservative (and thoroughly anti-authoritarian) "down east" Maine man, and nothing at all like the simpering New York "Liberal" that Alan Alda portrayed.

    I love politicians' autobiographies. The most inventive works of fiction out there.

    So what has my curriculum vitae - or "resume" - got to do with what you find in the stuff I type into these "comments" boxes? How often do I have to keep repeating that old cartoon caption, "On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog," anyway?

    It would be enough to know about a positive vision even if reasonable ppl disagreed. But I secretly suspect that the hard libertarians dont have a vision beond usurping 'we the people' I'm not entirely sure that the libertarians have anything outside of complaints. I want to see a vision of how you really think a contry of 300 million people should live. (would you blieve i havent seen it even once) we need pragmatic stuff now. not what is wrought thru the absence of what right-wing cranks fear.... and its American why?
  • Tuci78 · 4 months ago
    Jeez, fitz, you haven't hung with libertarians much at all, have you? We've got "positive vision" oozing from our sweaty pores. The analytical stuff can get pretty dry, but remember for most libertarians it starts with what we encounter in popular literature. Ayn Rand was right; more people can be engaged through fiction writing done properly.

    But I didn't come up through Mrs. O'Connor. I only read Atlas Shrugged after I'd read The Fountainhead, and I didn't read either until I was in med school. I went through all of her expostulatory prose first - the stuff she'd published in The Ayn Rand Reader and journals like that, gathered into anthologies. Her essays. When I got to her fiction, I found that it mostly sucked. Heinlein and Eric Frank Russell and H. Beam Piper had gotten there first.

    Want to read a recent instantiation of the libertarian "positive vision," fitz? Look for Aaron Zelman and L. Neil Smith's novel Hope (2001). An excerpt is online at:

    If all of that is true as you say Omaar, why then did he provide a forged COLB?

    Dr. Polarik writes: “There are laws on the books in Hawaii and the Federal Statutes that clearly spell out exactly what constitutes forgery, and in both Hawaii State Law and the Federal Statutes, the act of altering an official government document -- even if it is just a facsimile of that document -- constitutes forgery. The bogus COLB that Obama created is also considered to be a "false identification document, a felony forgery.” Dr. Polarik’s evidence is preserved online. There is also a YouTube video summary of the evidence.

    Forensic document examiner Sandra Ramsey Lines, a Former Federal Examiner with a long history of expert testimony in state and federal courts, has testified in an affidavit that states, in part:


    After reviewing Dr. Polarik’s analysis, Sandra Lines says, “I can state with certainty that the COLB presented on the internet by the various groups, which include the “Daily Kos,” the Obama Campaign, “Factcheck.org” and others cannot be relied upon as genuine. Dr. Polarik raises issues concerning the COLB that I can affirm. Software such as Adobe Photoshop can produce complete images or alter images that appear to be genuine; therefore, any image offered on the internet cannot be relied upon as being a copy of the authentic document.” Sandra Ramsey Lines summary is posted at U. S. Law Blog.

    Now hear this!! Just because pictures showing Obama's document provided is different from all other genuine 2007 COLB'S does not mean it was forged......it just shows he's like a God or something.....a magical Messiah....HE IS DIFFERENT!!!!

    He did not such thing Do you not feel silly for promulgating a falsehood?

    Greg: Just because pictures showing Obama's document provided is different from all other genuine 2007 COLB'S does not mean it was forged


    I compared a known 2007 COLB and Obama's, to noone's surprise they matched.

    So what do we know about the COLB?

    That it has a raised seal, and a signature and matches COLB's released in 2007. In addition, it shows President Obama born in Honolulu Hawaii on August 4, 1961, and that his birth was registered on August 8th, just in time for the birth announcements in two Hawaiian newspapers.

    Wow. No wonder you have to called it a forgery...

    Well naturally as a confirmed OBOT DRONE you would conclude what you say from the link you provide. It's when you get in really close the way forensic document examiners do you can clearly see discrepancies. But you being an OBOT DRONE are not interested in anything an expert might conclude. How smart is that. Got any more pathetic selective logic to fool those who can't think for themselves. I do research for a living and that includes looking at official documents and pictures on a daily basis. Your approach and conclusion is laughable. No, on second thought it is down right stupid.
  • nbc1 · 5 months ago
    Why the name calling? Have you no arguments?

    No credible forensic examination has been done and no credible discrepancies have been shown. Your argument was that Obama's COLB was different. No such evidence has been provided so far and I have shown that your statement is thus incorrect.

    Does it not bother you that the two COLB's are identical, other than the expected differences in the printed text and the location of the seal and signature?

    It is unfortunate that we do not have non-jpg format pictures so far since jpg can run havoc on any forensic examination since it is a lossy compression, and every time you save it, even without changes, it becomes further compressed.

    RAW or TIFF format would be ideal. Nevertheless, the unfounded claims like yours have been quickly put to rest. If you have any other objections, feel free to present them.
    So what expert are you referring to ? Polarik?... What are his credentials? Sandra Lines? All she said is that she cannot determine if there are any forgeries involved.

    “There have been numerous requests for Sen. Barack Hussein Obama’s official birth certificate. State law (Hawai‘i Revised Statutes §338-18) prohibits the release of a certified birth certificate to persons who do not have a tangible interest in the vital record,” DOH Director Dr. Chiyome Fukino said.

    “Therefore, I as Director of Health for the State of Hawai‘i, along with the Registrar of Vital Statistics who has statutory authority to oversee and maintain these type of vital records, have personally seen and verified that the Hawai‘i State Department of Health has Sen. Obama’s original birth certificate on record in accordance with state policies and procedures. No state official, including Governor Linda Lingle, has ever instructed that this vital record be handled in a manner different from any other vital record in the possession of the State of Hawai‘i,” Fukino said.

    Klein may be the king of the dung heap at CNN, but this story is far from dead.

    The simple fact, that Klein, Chris Matthews, Brian Williams, John Stewart and even The New York Times, are addressing the eligibility issue on a daily basis now is clear evidence that the eligibility question is never, ever, going to go away. It will dog Obama until he goes back to Chicago -- or releases his bona fides.

    The Times writes, "Advocates of the issue, who are sometimes called Birthers, have succeeded in calling attention to themselves through frequent calls to talk radio shows, e-mail messages to news organizations and a videotaped question at a Congressional town hall. The Associated Press said that Obama’s citizenship status had been one of the most popular topics for the wire service’s 'Ask AP' column."

    A few months ago, Birthers numbered in the hundreds. Now, they number in the millions. Millions of Americans are demanding -- "Obama, show us the birth certificate"

    "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win." Mahatma Gandhi

    We are currently at Ghandi's stage three.

    Somehow, you know its coming. That OMG moment is just around the corner. You can feel the inescapable reality creeping up on you. Something will leak. Someone will spill the beans.

    He has and the idea that there are millions is just hilarious. Regardless, they all lack standing and once the people are explained that President Obama did present his birth certificate, another conspiracy will bite the dust.
  • Greg · 5 months ago
    So if Obama is legit why does he submit a forged 2007 COLB with the 2008 COLB border? Why do the numerous pictures of different parts of Obama's COLB differ from confirmed Hawaiian citizens COLB'S? If you suffer from reading comprehension just look at the differences in the photographs. Why does Obama's COLB show evidence of heat(think Laser Printer) and the other COLB's show minimal heat as is normal for a standard impression type printing machine? God this gets tiresome trying to get OBOT DRONES to thnk rationally.
  • nbc1 · 5 months ago

    As I understand it, the DOH uses laser printers for printing their birth certificates. As to the evidence of 'heat' could you present some evidence?
    I double checked and the COLB shows "LASER" at the bottom, so it clear is not surprising to see evidence of a laser printer on a document produced on such.

    Smart move :-) The answer is no, not on CSI

    But I have done some of my own investigations into these claims

    Given some of the conflicting stories surrounding Obama’s Certification of Live Birth (COLB), I decided to collect the many relevant images, include the highest resolution jpg and do some of my analysis. I will be adding the relevant pictures over time, so check back regularly. Note that I am not claiming to have any expertise in image analysis beyond my ability to read relevant papers, and use third party software. However, this is not rocket science either and anyone interested in the ‘controversy’ could have done the necessary work. But rather than focusing on the data which confirm that the COLB is a valid certificate, some seem to have been more interested in finding minor ‘discrepancies’ which can be easily explained when one understands JPG compression as well as scanning artifacts and the procedures of the Hawaiian DOH.

    I have come to the conclusion that the original document shows

    1. Evidence of the two folds
    2. Evidence of the raised seal
    3. Evidence of a date stamped on the back

    It says that online documents CAN BE forged, because software like Photoshop exists.

    Look, I know you don't trust me. Read it again. And then stop cutting and pasting gibberish. Gibberish in all caps, gibberish with four exclamation points, gibberish with a link to a libertarian website, still gibberish.

    Lastly genius(oxymoron), all three links(you know those blue lines that when you click them you go to another web page) state unequivocally that the Obama COLB is forged. Had you actually gone to those links and read the reports and viewed the photographic evidence showing forgery you would not be making stupid assumptions.
  • stephenperry · 5 months ago
    Again, those issues are the ones she goes on to "affirm" which are precisely that it is theoretically possible that this online document, as with ANY online document, could have been altered.

    No other expert opinion was expressed by the forensic examiner.

    Steve, nobody is interested in the truth. They just want to thump their chests. Here's a little truth for you.

    Every time someone calls "Birther" a "nutjob", all they are doing is making an argument to bring back the tyranny of Bush/Cheney. Obama was born in Kenya and Bush/Cheney don't want you to know. Bush/Cheney are only doing what they did for 8 longs years. They lie to get what they want.

    Right now, Bush/Cheney want Obama to be President. So they are engineering a lie about Obama's country of birth. Bush/Cheney are like cockroaches who scurry away when anyone shines some light on them.

    Like Steve, I say it's about time to shine the light of truth on Bush/Cheney and their pawn Obama. Why are people so worried about the truth? It's because they would rather live a lie than face up to the truth.

    This is less possible to stephenperry because stephenperry lives a life in a very narrow intellectual corridor. Stephenperry ignores the doors on either side of the corridor and assumes everything he/she needs to know exists in the corridor. Stephenperry has convinced his or herself that nothing of worth can be gained from opening one of the doors and taking a careful look around.

    Stephenperry, not only are there many rooms to explore, there are many other corridors as well. Some of the rooms are inter-connected. Some rooms are as large as football stadiums and others are no larger than linen closets.

    I know that the reverence you hold for Bush/Cheney blinds you to what the Birthers are really saying. That's OK. For a few months after 9/11, I was similarly blind. Maybe it will take you decades to achieve what I achieved in a matter of weeks. But you can get there if you just keep trying.

    Better analogy:

    My advice is more akin to telling a person who is walking across a narrow bridge over a deep canyon that it is OK to stop and examine the nature of the canyon.
    It is also a good idea to take a careful look at the bridge to ensure it can bear the weight of all the baggage you are bringing with you.
    Lastly, it is perfectly acceptable to occasionally ask yourself whether you want to go to where the bridge is leading.
  • JimPA · 5 months ago
    Best analogy:
    And after the engineers inspect the bridge and they find it to pass all the codes and standards, you continue to stand on the narrow bridge and say I want to see the core samples of the concrete. And the engineer ensures you that every truck's concrete was tested and certified to meet the standard. But you tell the engineer I read on the internet that isn't true and I demand to see the orginal documents. No matter what proof the engineer presents, you respond, they are fakes.

    And the people waiting in line to cross the bridge tell you to move to the other side of the bridge so we can start fixing our problems.

    jtx,

    We're not Obama "lovers." Maybe some of us are. Not all by any stretch. We're just rational people.

    We don't "only engage in ad hominem attacks." This is one thread among many. I first posted here last Friday, 7/17, the day the "Birthers Dog Republicans" story got posted. I saw many logical responses and citations to evidence among the early posts. I added my own. They were polite and they were truthful. They are still there. You can check.

    But birthers don't sincerely seek answers to their insulting questions. They never provide answers to your questions, only more questions (insulting ones at that).

    And birthers are racists, in addition to being liars.

    So after a few iterations of the same story, it's more useful to call a spade a spade, while using the idiocy of the birthers' own tortured, circular reasoning against them, and examining closely the real import of what you birthers are saying, by mocking it. Reductio ad absurdum, I'm sure you're familiar with it.

    If you didn't think we were making sense, anyway, why would you care? Why not let us go on and have our sophomoric fun? Not bothering anyone. Just jibber-jabberin' away like monkeys in a tree while you go on and run your Ziplock Bag Birth Certificate Parade.

    Forgers? Try Folger's. Might help you think more clearly.

    Some racists may be birthers and vice versa but the suggestion that this is a uniformly valid statement is somewhat silly. Most of the birthers may be poorly informed and let their dislike for Obama's policies cause them to believe in these myths.

    Sorry AristotleTheHun,

    What validates the righteousness of my stance is the fact that I am a natural born American citizen. Nothing more. Nothing less.

    I espouse Righteousness because I self evidently have the right to do so.

    I refuse to be marginalized because those I disagree with are contemptuous of the truth. Obama's election is illegitimate because his place of birth violates the laws of the great country.

    I don't expect he will resign. Bush/Cheney never resigned when they viciously attacked the Freedoms contained in our constitution. So why should Obama resign when his election also contravenes the articles in this same Constitution?

    Obama is a child of Bush/Cheney. We paid for Obama's election by wilfully allowing Bush/Cheney to break the law and make a mockery of what once made us great.

    The real Birthers understand this and are not afraid to stand up for what is both right and true.

    StephenPerry and AristotleTheHun are just a couple of people making the same argument for the same thing. They just don't know it.

    You can (and will I.m sure) babble along as much as you can, but that does not change the issue that Obama has never shown himself eligible to holdd the office he now occupies ... be sure and mention that to him next time you're in his office.

    They never showed him the PowerPoint. But he might be on to something.

    Look at what happened during President George W Bush's watch. Catrina, an unnecessary war in Iraq, a financial mess pale to a Muslin slipped into the Whitehouse. Now if you say President Bush was involved he goes from being incompetent to competent.

    Steve:
    I support the search for the truth. A question has been raised, and it desrves an answer. The Constitution by which ALL Americans are bound so states, those who have grievances are entitled to redress in accordance with the 5th amendment.


    I checked my version which states

    No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.


    Nothing here that seems to support your claim. Could you please elaborate? While you have the right for your grievances to be heard, there is no right for them to be acted upon.

    The 1st amendment explains

    Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.


    You are free to petition for redress of grievances, however this confers no right beyond this.

    As I'm sure you know but don't wish to admit, Obama has not yet shown himself to be eligible under the requirements of the Constitution and he'll eventually have to do so in court.

    An your claims that he needn't do so because "he won" is nonsense. It may very well mean that, being ineligible, he is continuing to commit serious crimes ... and some fools are trying to justify that behavoir.

    Why does just asking make you mad? Last time I checked this was the USA. Simple questions require simple answers. People want to know everything especially about the person who is running our country. The insanity comes from not knowing and preceived efforts to keep things secret. Face it the media has gone over board in it's love and affection for this president. Every little detail of Palins life was trashed including her children. Bush has every grade he made researched. Clinton had every word scrutinized. McCain's records were scoured to the nub and he was war-hero. With this president, it seems, all his mis-steps are immediately dismissed and excuses are quickly made. I have never seen any of our presidents get handled with such kit gloves by the press.
  • stephenperry · 5 months ago
    "Just asking" doesn't make me mad. It makes me laugh.

    Repeatedly asking, once you've been politely answered, makes me annoyed.

    Repeatedly asking, and inserting distortions into your question, makes me frustrated.

    Repeatedly asking, slipping in distortions and lies, and slurring the President's race or the nation of Kenya, all at the same time, ticks me off.

    Doing all that at a time when we have two wars and a crippled economy, makes me mad.

    But I'm just speaking for myself. Other people may get mad because you people are obviously the result of an underfunded public education system and a 40 year GOP Southern Strategy of playing the fear card from the bottom of the deck. They may be mad on your behalf. I'm mad at you.

    See the difference? Hope this helped.
  • artmayes167 · 5 months ago
    Asking is not the problem. The problem (as with any recalcitrant child) is asking, being answered, forgetting that you were answered and asking again. Over and over and over.

    I don't ever remember seeing Palin's birth certificate, or Hillary's for that matter. Bush had his military records redacted and/or classified. Obama at least explains his missteps-- Bush pretended he never made them. And if you don't remember a president being handled with kid gloves, you forget everything that happened between 9/11 and the time the press finally realized Bush was feeding the Constitution to Cheney.

    I don't know why I even bother, though. Find someone else from Hawaii and demand to see their birth certificate. If they don't slap you, the only thing they'll have to offer is a Certificate of Live Birth. Why? That's Hawaiian state policy.
  • jtx · 5 months ago
    artmayes167:

    But "being answered" as you claim actually misstates the facts of the matter.

    those facts are that the man has never shown himself to be eligible under the U. S. Constitution to hold the office he now occupies - NEVER!!

    Of course if you have access to some of his never-released and always legally-contested documents I'm sure those would be of great interest. Be sure to tell everyone how you came into possession of them - the court may wish to know (and don't forget, there are penalties for perjury).

    The state of HI has pubicly stated that they have Mr. Onamas original BC on file. Are you of the belief that they lie???
  • stephenperry · 5 months ago
    I don't know why anyone would care what the state of HI says about Mr. Onamas, whoever he is.

    I think you're confused. President Barack Hussein Obama II declared his intention to run for President years ago, and eligibility questions were settled then.

    The rest of your confusion can be resolved by re-reading what artmayes167 wrote. Get a liberal friend to help you with the difficult words.

    Stop drinking the Kool-Aid, man. It's poisonous.

    Do a quick search (use Google, if you like) for "Obama birth certificate," you will find an on-line version of the Certificate of Live Birth. HI has a policy of distributing copies of that document to the person to whom it belongs. The do not, as a matter of policy, distribute the filed birth certificate.

    There's so much actual information out there. The only way you can still buy in to this conspiracy crap is. . . wait, the average human being has an IQ between 90-109. Chances are I'm talking to one of them. Maybe even a bunch of them.

    Despite the 1,700 well metered words contained in the article above, which present a rationally modulated debunking of the 'birther" conspiracy, the ensuing comments are riddled with the same nutty delusions. This controversy is not about facts, it is about visceral prejudices. No amount of empirical data will change the deeply held bigotry of the complainants. A public revealing of a "long form Certificate of Birth" would only serve as a platform for the next installment of crazy talk from these folk.

    The ever expanding neural network of interactive digital information (internet, twitter etc.) allows for the consolidation of groups of people with excessively maladaptive cognitive processes, and the injection of increasingly irrational tendencies into our social fabric. Long term, a continuation of this trend will undermine our capacity to function as an interdependent community of 300 million souls.

I personally have never been to Africa and I HONESTLY believe a great deal of my brothers and sisters also have never been there. Why can't we just understand,and be thankful,that our peoples have come a long path? Will we never let go? Or will we continue to carry on,instilling in our children,that it is Ok to go through life with hatred,crying racism, bigotry and that we are victims of the white man. As a fact,untill we pull together and accept what WAS, then we will continue to go down the path of HATRED! This, is not what MLK meant by "HAVING A DREAM"!

    ShawnE... I am also an American of African descent. I wanted to respond to your post and not one of these hateful fake Christian kooks. I do believe as a proud black man that the deplorable state that so many of our brothers and sisters are in today is at least partially due to the after effects of centuries of captivity, denial of education, breeding for physical strength, the destruction of the family unit by slavemasters, discrimination, physical and sexual abuse, inadequate diet, lynchings, segregation, and the self hatred that resulted from it. That's a lot of abuse for a very long time to just disappear from a culture in a few decades. Yes, I said CULTURE... the current blacks in America were not directly victimized by slavery or Jim Crow, etc, but lasting damage was done to the culture of black people in America. I BELIEVE THIS COUNTRY REMAINS CULPABLE, HOWEVER....... I do not espouse reparations and truly believe the only answer to this for blacks in America is forgiveness and to look inward and help ourselves. This won't happen overnight, but I think the positive role modeling of an intelligent BLACK president is a great start.

    ‘this is idiotic, but explain to me why,’”

    "After the DNC requested a dismissal of Berg’s lawsuit, he responded in a Sept. 29, 2008 filing that cited numerous Internet rumors and incorrect citations of American and international law. Berg cited “Wikipedia Italian version” and “Rainbow Edition News Letter” as evidence..."

    Berg argued that there was “absolutely no way Obama could have ever regained ‘natural born’ status.”
    “That’s just completely wrong,” said Mitzi Torri, an Arizona-based immigration lawyer.

    Obama’s step-grandmother Sarah Obama, who lives in Kenya, being goaded into saying (through a translator) that the future president was born in Kenya before quickly correcting herself. (A doctored version of this tape, which cuts off before the retraction, is posted on YouTube.)

    Another claim: Obama traveled to Pakistan in 1981, when it was illegal for an American to do so, suggesting that he used a non-American passport. The problem is that there never was any such ban. small PROBLEM for substantiation.

    “We have no record of any travel ban between America and Pakistan during that period or since,” said Noel Clay, a spokesman for the State Department.

    “We got that from someplace,” Berg told TWI on Thursday. In an email, he added his paralegal was “reviewing” his files on Pakistan. Yet the false claim appears in Orly Taitz’s lawsuit on behalf of perennial presidential candidate Alan Keyes, which argues that Obama visited Pakistan “when entrance to Pakistan was banned to Americans, Christians and Jews,” proof that he gave up his American citizenship. (One might suggest that they got it by pulling it outta someone's ass, you know, like the "THREE KINGS" Iraqi 'Ass Map'?

    “Polarik” submitted an affidavit in support Orly Taitz’s Keyes case that is signed “XXXXXXXXXXX,” making it inadmissible. “If it ever comes down to it,” explained Gary Kreep, another lawyer for Keyes, “we’ll use his real name.” (Hello, 'it came down to 'it', and was tossed, ya think THAT might have been a good time to 'come forward'?

    Carl Swensson, a conservative activist from Georgia, has organized “Citizens’ Grand Juries” that have indicted the president for treason. Now these boys do have experience in 'organizing' but it's going to be a tough 'sell' when their jurors show up in WHITE SHEETS, not black robes.

    Mario Apuzzo, a New Jersey attorney, has sued Obama on the grounds that he never was, and never could be, a “natural born” citizen. Both men pass over precedent for “The Law of Nations,” the 1758 treatise by the 18th century French scholar Emerich de Vattel. “It’s what the founding fathers used,” explained Swensson.

    And, these are the same fu*kers that last week were RANTING about Sotomayor wanting to apply 'FUR-IN' law on MUR-icans!! What a difference a week makes, eh?

    FULL CIRCLE > ‘this is idiotic, but explain to me why,’”

    asked and answered. the GOOD ATTORNEYS (ya know, the ones getting paid) say it's BS, and the (after)'birther' attys, well... sharp? not so much.

    To Diogenes:

    A woman died a horrible, gruesome, painful death. Cancer is never easy. Those of us who have watched loved ones eaten away by this disease know this.

    I don't care if you're sub-human, which you have amply shown yourself to be, but enough already.

    You are a racist.

    You want to know how I know you are a racist? And yes, you are very definately a racist. It's because you have absolutely no compunction about dehumanizing another person. You are completely willing, even eager, to reduce someone's mother to nothing more than the basest, most degrading, animalistic level possible.

    That's always the first step for a racist; dehumainze those you would victimize. Gotta remove any vestige of empathy - short work for you, I'm sure.

    So how about you quit trying to be coy. Forget the occassional post pretending to just an intellectual question of eligibility, you don't really mean it. Forget the protestations of feigned outrage at being called out for what you are, you aren't really offended by it.

    You don't really give a flying rat's ass about the birth certificate or the issue of 'natural born' citizen. Those could be addressed without attacking a woman who died a slow, torturous death in front of her children.

    You want, no, you NEED to degrade her. You need to make her less, so that you can feel justified in your hatred. That's why you need to post pictures you hope will bring her down to your level. And when that doesn't work, you start throwing in insults about her sexuality, something you know nothing about, in hopes of getting a reaction to that.

    It's all about dehumanizing the "other", making them appear to be less than you, because you believe they are less than you, you need them to be brought down.

    Because Obama is half-black, you have to hate his mother for sleeping with men of color, for sullying the pure white gene pool - that's why you have to make such a big deal of her sexuality.

    Because she did that, we have a half black president. That's why you have to attack her. You are a racist.

    Obama's mother, on the other hand, was apparently a pretty good woman. The proof of course, is that her children, especially her son, would never lower themselves to the public behavior you have relished in all afternoon, and which you have apparently spent quite a bit of time at beyond this thread.

    You are a racist.

    Go back to your dirty pictures, nobody here cares about them except for you and the other racists pretending this has anything to do with Hawaiian birth records.

    Wonderful article. Unfortunately, I highly doubt it, or any other media coverage, will put the issue to rest for those who, in their delusional state, cling to it so fiercely.

    If one looks at what is truly fueling this conspiracy theory-- as one group of concerned citizens at the politijab DOT com forum have been doing for months now--one quickly finds that some of the most dangerous and vile anti-government and racist hate groups are driving the issue and using it to recruit new members.

    Many of the birthers are clinging to a vision of the USA that is long past, and maybe never existed. They fear change and diversity, and they cannot accept what is happening before their own eyes. These people are being recruited, slowly, into much more dangerous existing hate groups. They are being encouraged daily to "take up arms" and "join militias" and "take their country back at all costs" and "get that Kenyan usurper and his gorilla wife out of office". Check any birther chat or blog and these types of comments are rampant. Most of the birthers are likely harmless "armchair warriors", but such sentiments are dangerous and the racism present in them is absolutely sickening.

    Please look further into the roots of this idiocy. That is where the real story exists. No one wants to see another tragedy like the recent events involving Von Brunn, who espoused birther theories on the internet before picking up his gun and shooting an innocent man.

    Dont you see how pathetic you are. Instead of wasting your time with this crap go do something productive. Why can't you just admit you don't like Obama because he is black. I though our society was better than that. Did 650,000 soldiers die in the Civil War so that 150 years later we can still be a racist country. I am a proud tax-paying american and it makes me sick to think that we still judge people by the color of their skin. Just remember this, Jesus hepled those who were sick, poor and outcasted by society. GROW UP and do something to HELP those less fortunate than you. Dont you think Abraham Lincoln would be turning in his grave (RIP) if he saw todays racist Republican Party. How many more people need to die to make you happy.

    What your witnessing is the death spasms of a dying Party. No ideas, no solutions. A Party that gladly let a moron and war-profiteer destroy this country in 8 short years. . All they got is hate - they hate blacks, gays, commies, Muslims, Greens, socialists, commies, democracy. It truely is an amalgam of anti-socialists. The sane Republicans bailed a long time ago. All that is left is a collection of loud mouthed paranoids whose only focus is finding the Holy Grail/illegal birth certificate

    No matter, best to let these idjits take front stage because the only value they now serve for this country is providing comic relief for the grim outcome that these rubes helped create.

    I was really expecting that after the crushing defeat they suffered last fall there would be rebuilding, maybe a move to toss off the know-nothings (like the "Obama is an Arab" woman who McCain had to take the mic from while saying "No, no, no maa'am"). I had not expected them to embrace the fringe, nutcase, racist, know-nothing constituents of the party as their base.

    Trust me, seeing the Republican Party in its death throes is fine by me!! I just wonder if we will now simply run unopposed in any meaningful way for a time, or if the moderate, rational folks that once belonged to the Republican Party but have now run screaming will move to build something new?

    No matter, I do think we may truly be seeing the death of the Party. And we have the birthers to thank for delivering the final, fatal blow.

    Birthers...I want to thank you.

    A heartfelt thank for your tremendous, ongoing efforts to make republicans look like a bunch of know-nothing, racist nutcases. Thank you for your unwavering devotion to this idiotic issue despite the mountain of contradictory facts thrown in your face every day. Thank you for attacking the moderates and thinking, rational people in your party, and for driving them to run away from your party, screaming in horror, at lightning speed. Thank you for being so completely delusional that you refuse to acknowledge that President Obama is sitting in the White House running the United States. Thank you for ignoring all the real issues going on in the USA right now. Thank you.

    Please do keep all this insanity going until we have successfully passed health care reform, the energy bill, education reform, and have successfully brought a case challenging bans on gay marriage to the Supreme Court. Please stay the course. It may be difficult, but you can do it! Please keep this up at least through 2010. We really appreciate you embarrassing and alienating decent republican candidates and voters, inserting a huge wedge in your party, keeping your money and focus on this issue while ignoring the mid-term elections altogether. Thank you. Thank you.

    We plan to do so much in the coming months, and then we plan to gain more House and Senate seats and expand our complete control of the entire government in 2010! Your help in this endeavor is very much appreciated.

    Thank you birthers, thank you.

    Maybe you all really ARE true patriots after all?
    Thank you for helping us take the country back.

    Please find a republican candidate's town hall meeting near you and raise this issue LOUDLY. I suggest then leading a rousing rendition of the Battle Hymn of the Republic when you do not get the answer you want!

    Unfortunately, Potter's so-called investigation only serves to highlight already unanswered questions about 0bama's place of birth.

    Potter said "To the extent that we could,.." meaning he relied on the word of 0bama and his supporters that he was born in Hawai'i but Potter never saw 0bama's OFFICIAL long form "Birth Certificate" with his own eyes. So in a court of law Potter's opinion means squat.

    The Certificate of Live Birth (COLB) printed on June 6, 2007 merely refers to the probable existence of an ORIGINAL long form Birth Certificate. During a Lou Dobbs exchange on the topic recent information came to light that 0bama's ORIGINAL long form Birth Certificate was DISCARDED eight (8) years ago when Hawai'i went electronic. So, any Hawai'ian official claiming to have seen the Birth Certificate or has it locked away safely in their office or have handled it are either lying or they are lying.

    Furthermore, if 0bama obtained the Certificate of Live Birth on June 6, 2007 then what Official document did he use to obtain an Illinois driver's license and a US passport to travel abroad when a Birth Certificate, as opposed to a COLB, is required to obtain both?

    Rep John Campbell is going about this the right way with the so-called "Birther Bill". A resolution requiring nominees present an OFFICIAL long form "Birth Certificate" is the only way to legally and OFFICIALLY get to the bottom of this controversy.

    I suspect that the person or persons for the state of Hawaii who encoded the original birth certificate onto electronic media actually SAW the "original birth certificate". Like they SAW the birth cetificates of every other native born Hawaiian that was tranfered to media when they went paperless. OOOOH...big conspiracy there. I'm sure that like most of us, we at one time or another had to acquire a certified copy of his birth certificate in order to get a drivers license or a passport or whatever. You can get as many of them as you wish, as long as you pay the fees and they would be dated whenever they were physically printed off. Use your heads, folks. But, that said - let the birthers ride!

    Don't be fooled by "evidence"

    I am very upset that the media and other liberals in America are ignoring the obvious fact of how the "evidence" that the "rational" people are suggesting refutes the unavoidable TRUTH that we have a Kenyan as POTUS - Time travel! Obviously, Obama and his cronies have gone back in time and changed the official records in Hawaii and posted the advertisement in the Honalulu newpaper. What's more, I have been told by an expert in such matters that Obama's time machine is fueled by t-cells extracted from third-trimester aborted fetuses and blood from endangered species. I WANT MY COUNTRY BACK!! {spontaneous declaration of something irrelevant follows here}

    I propose legislation to outlaw campaign time travel, but only on a going-forward basis for the next election campain, requiring all candidates to certify that they are incapable of rational thought and the discernment of truth from blithering idiocy to ensure that our govenrment is controlled by "real Americans!"

    To paraphrase Stephen Colbert - it is well known that the truth has a liberal bias.

    You are so right. Ive tried to explain to these idiot Dumbocrats but they are to stoopid to get it.

    JFK authorized the DOD to begin time travel experiments they same time he gave NASA the go ahead to fake the moon landings. In one of the early experiments they traveled to 1975 and convinced the Bee Gees to give up on folk music and go disco.

    Having suceeded in that JFK realized the only way he could realise his dream of putting a black muslim communist into the white house was to fake the paperwork on the birth certificates.

    Prove you were born in the U.S. to someone who discounts your birth certificate, your driver's license, your passport AND a vetting by the Secret Service and your presidential opponent's researchers. At that point, there is nothing you could say that would convince someone other than a trip back in time and an invitation in to see the actual birth.
    Of course Obama has provided MORE than this. We have an official certification from the appropriate office in Hawaii, we have a statement from the Republican Governor of Hawaii. We have two birth announcements in local Hawaiian news papers.

    Tell wise one. What would put this to rest for you?
    The answer is nothing. No one in the US could prove any more clearly that they were born in the US to anyone unless the doubter were in the delivery room. I suspect their hatred of Obama would probably be strong enough to rework their memories anyway. If Obama's parents took video of his wife driving to the hospital and continuously filmed to the delivery, someone would claim the film was doctored.

    Obama has bent over backward and proved beyond a doubt that he is a citizen. Could you get an affidavit from the Governor of your birth state?

    This is all fueled by hatred. I personally believe that hatred is partial based on racism and partially based on the fear ginned up for decades by the Republicans.

    2. Had the FBI Escort Bin Laden Family & Saudi Royals Flown Home, during a No Fly Zone Period, when he could have Used the Bin Laden Family Members as Bait, Bargaining or Hostages, until Bin Ladens Surrender or Capture.

    3. The Bush Business Ties [Prescott Bush] and the Republican-Corporate American Ties to Communist-Socialist China and how in 30 Years, the USA helped China become the World Dominant Economic Power.

    Republicans: Prescott, George H.W. Bush, Nixon, Reagan & George W. Bush Jr....

    By the Time Poor Clinton became President, the Red Communist-Socialist Chinese were Well Entrenched.

    4. We Owe China 6 years and Counting, 20 Billion Per Month with Interest, to Finance our 2 Mid-East Wars and they Own Large Government Bonds.


    Thank You [Republican Party & Corporate America]

    Who was Presidenet in 1961 when Barry Obama was born? Do you Left wingers even no your basic history? Well let me tell you.

    It was JFK , a DEMOCRAT! It is as well known fact that JFK used his Special Opps forces to place phony birth announcments in Hawaiian newspapers. Witness at the time reported black unmarked helicopters landing nearby.

    And now after all these years the plan is complete and the libs can force their Evil agenda of peace, prosperity and health care.

    Are you serious?

    You are a uninformed tool of the GOP and corporate elite which have dominated the policies of this nation for decades, creating artificial scarcity of goods, services, and healthcare for profit alone, and manufacturing wars and coup de tats to control the resources of 3rd world countries, and you think it's the libs with a evil plan? Go figure.

    Your hero Ronald Reagan the "little horn of satan in the flesh" is the sell out on the grandest scale!

    Columbia has a concordat with the Pope. A concordat is a treaty with the Pope. Hitler had a concordat. Mussolini had a concordat. Franco had a concordat. They want to set up a concordat here, which was the reason for Reagan formally recognizing the sovereign state of Vatican City in 1984. The greatest traitor we ever had was Ronald Reagan.

    The New World Order has been actively in play for decades, so if it took the election of Obama to wake you up to reality, I would imagine that you still have no idea whats actually going on, and your uninformed ranting only obfuscates the truth, Obama is breaking down those institutional power structures and aliances that apparently you are fighting to preserve.

    The GOP has always be part of the NWO take-over, why else would the so-called free-market, free trade model have such a negative affect on the median incomes of American citizens over the last 25 years if it's purpose was to create a better quality of life for Americans, and please don't say they are trying to help growth in emarging markets, when they oppose healthcare for 47M American citizens.

    #1: It's against the law of the state of Hawaii to show the original. That may be because it contains private information that is protected by law, but it wouldn't make any difference. These people won't believe the Republican Governor of Hawaii that she has seen it and that it is authentic, nor will they believe the head of their health services who said the same after checking it out. If they released all of the personal information that is on his original birth certificate, it wouldn't do any good. These people are not interested in facts. If they had the name of the hospital and the name of the doctor and all of the other personal information found there, they would simply institute a vast investigation of all those details. Obama's step grandmother, who never saw him before he was in his twenties, misspoke through an interpreter and immediately corrected herself about where Obama was born. The birthers just took out the immediate correction and ran with the mistake. They would try to do the same with every person who's alive or has a relative or friend who's alive who worked at or near the hospital when Obama was born. That would draw some crazies who are looking for some fame and it would go on and on.

    If the Obama administration chose to do anything, it could send some experts to look at it, but I doubt that it would do any good.

    #2 No white President has ever been treated like this. It's very shabby.

    Here you go moran-

    Aloha,

    Thank you for emailing Governor Linda Lingle's office. A recent article in WorldNetDaily.com (October 26, 2008) claiming that Hawai‘i Governor Linda Lingle sealed Sen. Barack Obama's birth certificate is false.

    Under Hawai‘i's state law (Hawai‘i Revised Statutes §338-18), copies of vital records may only be released to those who have a tangible relationship to the person whose record is being sought. Neither the Governor's office, nor any other office in the State of Hawai'i, can provide information concerning birth certificates, or produce birth certificates, to anyone except those who are listed in the law governing vital statistics records.

    Vital statistics records, such as birth certificates, are protected by strict confidentiality requirements. Specifically, pursuant to section 338-18, Hawai‘i Revised Statutes (HRS), the Department of Health, which maintains these records, may not allow the inspection of a birth certificate, or issue a certified copy of a birth certificate, or disclose any information contained in a birth certificate, unless it is satisfied that the applicant has a direct and tangible interest in the record:

    (a) To protect the integrity of vital statistics records, to ensure their proper use, and to ensure the efficient and proper administration of the vital statistics system, it shall be unlawful for any person to permit inspection of, or to disclose information contained in vital statistics records, or to copy or issue a copy of all or part of any such record, except as authorized by this part or by rules adopted by the department of health.

    (b) The department shall not permit inspection of public health statistics records, or issue a certified copy of any such record or part thereof, unless it is satisfied that the applicant has a direct and tangible interest in the record. The following persons shall be considered to have a direct and tangible interest in a public health statistics record:

    (1) The registrant;

    (2) The spouse of the registrant;

    (3) A parent of the registrant;

    (4) A descendant of the registrant;

    (5) A person having a common ancestor with the registrant;

    (6) A legal guardian of the registrant;

    (7) A person or agency acting on behalf of the registrant;

    (8) A personal representative of the registrant's estate;

    (9) A person whose right to inspect or obtain a certified copy of the record is established by an order of a court of competent jurisdiction;

    (10) Adoptive parents who have filed a petition for adoption and who need to determine the death of one or more of the prospective adopted child's natural or legal parents;

    (11) A person who needs to determine the marital status of a former spouse in order to determine the payment of alimony;

    (12) A person who needs to determine the death of a nonrelated co-owner of property purchased under a joint tenancy agreement; and

    (13) A person who needs a death certificate for the determination of payments under a credit insurance policy.

    Mahalo,

    Office of Governor Lingle

    Listen you racist imbeciles! How in the world do you think President Obama passed the highest and most stringent national scurity test in the nation? with a wink and a smile? In order to actually hold the office of the President of the United States of America, one must undergo and pass a very lengthy and stringent national security and personal identity test, this includes the submission of original documents, information on every family member, including nationality, place of birth, etc., finger prints, etc. Everythying submitted is verified and authenticated to death. The President of the United States holds the highest national security clearance of the nation, and one does not obtain that with a smile and a wink! THIS CERTAINLY INCLUDES PROOF OF HIS BIRTH, BIRTH PLACE AND PARENTAGE! WHICH IS AUTHENTICATED IN THE STRICTEST OF FORMS!
    U.S. Senators are also required to pass a stringent national security check in order for them to receive the necessary national security clearance for them to do their job. When President Obama became U.S. Senator, he also had to undergo a national security check to be granted the appropriate national security clearance to perform his job as a U.S. Senator.
    He has had a U.S. passport since he was a child. In order to obtain a U.S. passport, one must submit the original birth certificate to the State Department, where it is verified and authenticated.
    Those of you who chose to deny any and all evidence and proof are just doing this because you don't like the fact that our President is not white. Get over it and start behaving like Americans! Denying the legitimately elected and sworn in President of the United States is as un-American as can be.

    As far as why he'd raise it when his own was in question? Either he felt secure in the knowledge he could legally run, or he felt secure that pointing the light at Obama's citizenship would effectively refocus the laser-eyebeam level paranoia elsewhere.

    Either way, it's not rocket science. And "lol" at the phrase "non-believer" - this is political bollocks, not the coming of Christ. It's not an issue of faith, it's an issue of common sense.

When he didn't find any, he moved on. Too bad nutjobs like you can't do the same.

    You may not agree with the arguments, but a photo copy from Hawaii isn't enough to "prove" he was born in Hawaii.

    If I create a paper print out of my birth so called "hometown of birth" using about 30 minutes in photo shop or someone's database, am I a hawaii citizen too?

    Give me break. There is no evidence to prove he was born in Hawaii or Indonesia.

    The point is they won't release his birth records. And there is a LOT, and I do mean a lot of circumstantial evidence to suggest he's not a US citizen.

    Including eye witnesses and newspaper articles overseas, which means, this is going to get quite ugly since this is about the "LAW" and still no one has shown where he was born.
  • cindychristy · 5 months ago
    The COLB and the birth annoucements in the two papers provide plenty of evidence.

    All the circusmsantial evidence you point to has been shot down.

    There are no eyewitnesses to a birth overseas.
  • notsettled · 5 months ago
    It's not evidence at all, I don't understand how someone claiming a "copy" printout can be evidence.

    If I get a copy of someone's check even if it was wrote with monopoly money using someone else's name and not a real checkbook, is that suddenly "evidence" I am the writer and depositor of that check?

    And no witnesses? I don't think you have ever examined the evidence. There is a lot of witnesses who say, and have showed records, of him as well as his parents being in Indonesia and another country -- including a lot which the military has...which is very concerning.

    Start thinking about the fact that well, he might not be a US citizen and that does really matter for a lot of reasons. If it was Bush and so called "righties" were defending him it would be the same legal problem, there's someone in office who can't prove where they were born.

    You know this is a total joke what you're saying, I wouldn't have to because I received a stamped certified original document. At most it was a second hand creation directly by them.

    But it's as real as the original with the seal.

    And it is NOT most importantly, a paper printout off the computer

    So if I made a paper printout (NOT the course, rough paper that a birth cert is) that said I was born in......China?

    I would now be considered a chinese citizen and oh it was stamped with the same date. Let me just ask you again if that is what you are claiming.

    Without taking sides here, is that what you are claiming? I'd be chinese?
  • melodramy · 5 months ago
    Dear lord your ignorance is painful to behold.

    You can't even apply for a passport with that yellow-parchment gold-seal footprint thingie that looks so impressive and original to you. You have to request an official document from your state and they will issue a certification of live birth. What that will look like and what will be on that, will vary from state to state. For example, mine does not have footprints and DOES in fact look exactly like a photocopy made onto a sheet of normal, uncoarse, un-rough paper with a blue border on it albeit the paper is watermarked. It has an embossed seal and a stamp with date of issuance from the registrar which is the year 2007 (just like Obama's). It's so very plain looking. This "thing that looks like a normal piece of paper" is the ONLY document acceptable when applying for a passport. They practically laughed at me when I presented my old parchment with footprints on it at the post office. This plain paper photocopy looking thing is exactly what Obama was issued from his state, what has been examined in person by fact checking organizations, photos of itall over the net showing the embossed seal etc; what has been verified by the State of Hawaii itself. Your delusions are nobody's problem but your own, but a quick remedy would be for you to call the Hawaii Dept of Heath yourself and ask them if your claims are accurate about their official documents..and argue with them about how you "know better." Then get back to us how that goes for you.
  • labman57 · 5 months ago
    Exactly.
    When I applied for a U.S. passport a couple of years ago, I ran into difficulty because the federal government did not recognize my original hospital birth certificate as an official record of birth--it lacked the necessary embossed, notarized seal from the local county.

    So I had to apply to the state government for an official, notarized record of birth, which required filling out forms, paying fees, supplying other documentation, and waiting 8 weeks for them to confirm the validity of the information with the local county records office.

    So my official birth certificate, the one that the federal government recognizes, is the same type that Obama has in Hawaii.

What amazes me is how quickly folks invoke that word "LAW" when the truth of the matter is the criminals who took this country from the original inhabitants using GOD as their excuse, much like the Israelis used GOD as their excuse to commit genocide against peoples in the purported "promised land [thousands of years ago and today], created the "LAW" to justify their actions. Until we learn the very simple lesson of "Do unto others....AS YOU WOULD HAVE THEM DO UNTO YOU", "LAW" will always be an excuse for the most shameful behavior.

  • Kilgore Trout · 5 months ago
    You may not agree with the arguments, but a photo copy from Hawaii isn't enough to "prove" he was born in Hawaii.

    The document that was posted on the web was an original COLB from the State of Hawaii, the authenticity of which has been verified by the director of the responsible state department.

    The point is they won't release his birth records.

    He did, see above.

    There is no evidence to prove he was born in Hawaii.

    Other than the official document provided by the state of Hawaii, the same one that can be used to apply for a US passport. In other words, absolute evidence.

    I have an original, typed, signed birth certificate from 50 years ago. The government would not accept it when I applied for my passport, they wanted the state issued COLB, just like the one that Obama has.

    I have my original Birth Certificate in my hand and my states gave it out to me for free, all he has to do is go to the office, pull it out seal & all and put it before a camera and then put it away.

    But instead what they did sealed up all the records......And that is of concern to many americans, that's the actions of communists when you hide public records like that.

    Again if he was a fully proven US citizen, then Military officers would not be allowed to discharge from duty as well as ignore any orders to go overseas. Countless military officers have automatically ignored orders, because based on the law, they can not prove he is a US citizen which CONCERNS every citizen of the country.

    And you're telling me this is not my certificate....it's just a hoax??

    You make no sense. At most the document is a second hand iteration, but after handling it countless times, it's the closest to ORIGINAL record you can come to.
  • melodramy · 5 months ago
    Hey mr first rate, I have one just like that. Little footprints, yellowed parchment paper, raised gold seal, original signatures in ink. Know what I found out when I applied for a passport? It is not acceptable as an official state document and proof of birth or citizenship. I had to request a "Certification of Vital Record" from my state in order to obtain a passport. The Dept of Health issued this non-parchment piece of paper with a blue border, no footprints, and no original signature anywhere in sight. It is stamped by the registrar with a 2007 date, the year it was issued to me. Just like Obama's.

    How about you just get off your conspiracy theory behind and call the Hawaii Dept of Health for yourself and ask about the differences between an original hospital record and the official certificate they issue. Place of birth is not one of those differences, they will be happy to put your deluded mind to rest.
  • notsettled · 5 months ago
    So because it looked similar it must be real?

    That's the most ludicrous argument I've ever heard. If you try that in court they will laugh you right out of it.

    If I made a copy record that had "no footprints" like it looked as if it was out of the Department of Health and so on, that's going to mean I live in China?

    All I do is say that it means I live in China...therefore because it's the SAME document with China listed instead....I live in China???

    You got to be joking. And the Gold seal does matter.

    The truth is they could settle this all ages ago by just releasing the records and photos of them, then it's over with.

    But they don't and sealed up the records, stamped and all because there is concern he's not a US citizen.
  • melodramy · 5 months ago
    1) Yours is not "an orignal" it is a cute souvenir. It is not remotely acceptable as proof of citizenship when obtaining a federally issued passport.
    2) Obama's is real because it is the official document issued by the State of Hawaii to people born in Hawaii and it has been verified by them. All your parchment paper gold seal footprint spew and about how that constitutes "real proof" is pure b.s. and you've been called on it.

    My official document, valid for obtaining a passport, has no gold seal. So you can just leave ALL OF THAT OUT of your argument, now, because you are repeatedly demonstrating you KNOW NOTHING about what you are saying.

    3. Military officers have not been allowed to discharge from duty(?) or ignore orders to go overseas. The instance you are referring to (because there has only been one) resulted from a volunteer deciding that he did not want to go. As in this case the nutjob had already been dismissed from going by the military (they didn't want him either apparently) long before the suit. He purposely enlisted and then unenlisted within the 30 day window. Again facts please.

    Mayee this was never a christian nation. It was founded by many that were christians but they chose wisely to keep the government secular. Read the Treaty of Tripoli which was ratified by congress in 1797
    "Art. 11. As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquillity, of Mussulmen; and, as the said States never entered into any war, or act of hostility against any Mahometan nation, it is declared by the parties, that no pretext arising from religious opinions, shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries."

    Read the letters of Franklin, Jefferson and others and you will see that most of the founding fathers felt it was best to keep government and religion seperate.

    Dear Birthers

    Obama already presented his birth certificate to the people that matter. NO ONE gets an original copy of their birth certificate. If you go to the DMV, you bring your certificate of live birth, not your original birth certificate. He's the president (and legally, I might add), he doesn't have to do any more to prove his citizenship than he already has. If you had good evidence, you would have a case. But you don't. So deal with it and shut up.

    The funny thing is, you don't even know what you would do if by some reversal of the planets that Obama was somehow president illegally. What then? Biden is president? Pelosi? Or maybe you think there will be a reelection and Sarah Palin will be our new president. LOL. What exactly is your plan of action besides being racist and frustrated?

As a writer , why don't you write an article that has the headline PLEASE MR. PRESIDENT, RELEASE YOUR RECORDS SO THESE IDIOTS GO AWAY. John Mc Cain is a goofy old bastard that brought his honor to a knife fight with Obama and got gutted.

Roland Martin made a fool of himself last night on Dobbs, he made the comment " we have 39 million people who still thinks the president is a Muslim, " I wonder why? He goes to a muslim country and says " American is no longer a christain nation, then goes to Cario and tells the world , America is one of the larger muslim countries, (39th) Maybe if Obama didn't act like a muslim ( THE DESTRUCTION OF CAPITALISM, THE RISE OF ISLAM ) the theme of the Islam convention last week in Chicago. ONe would have to be short of being an idiot not to see that he is a muslim, raised a muslim , just lied to become the president.

  • metrowestmike · 5 months ago
    Mayree you need to go back and read the entire article again. For example:

    "Berg’s filings made other claims that have shown up in anti-Obama lawsuits and in the proliferation of “birther” Website. One relies on an audio tape of Obama’s step-grandmother Sarah Obama, who lives in Kenya, being goaded into saying (through a translator) that the future president was born in Kenya before quickly correcting herself. (A doctored version of this tape, which cuts off before the retraction, is posted on YouTube.) Another claim: Obama traveled to Pakistan in 1981, when it was illegal for an American to do so, suggesting that he used a non-American passport. The problem is that there never was any such ban."

    and...

    "‘Birthers’ who refuse to acknowledge the legitimacy of Obama’s Certificate of Live Birth often cite the expertise of “Dr. Ron Polarik,” a self-described “expert in computer graphics” who maintains a blog at Townhall.com and has recorded a video, in which his face and voice are blurred, explaining how the image was “forged” with Adobe Photoshop. “Polarik” submitted an affidavit in support Orly Taitz’s Keyes case that is signed “XXXXXXXXXXX,” making it inadmissible."

    and, particularly troubling...

    "Apuzzo is not convinced. He argued that the founders wrote the phrase “natural born citizen” for a reason; to make sure that no one with “blood ties” to another country could become president. He speculated what might happen if Gov. Bobby Jindal (R-La.), whose parents were Indian, became president. “India is a nuclear power. Here comes the president, who says we have to go in and attack Pakistan. Are we doing that because we are defending India’s interests? You just don’t know. You can’t have Constitutional rule if you allow this.”

    This would mean the native americans are the only people with rights to be here, and we'll have to go back to the countries where we have "blood ties". What country are you from Mayree? My "blood ties" are to Ireland.
  • captainobvious1 · 5 months ago
    Your "acts like a Muslim" comment makes about as little sense as something can. No "evidence" you give about him being a Muslim has ANYTHING to do with being a Muslim. Pathetic anti-Obama nut grasping at straws.

    There is plenty of evidence showing Obama is a natural born US citizen and ZERO evidence even suggesting he wasn't born here. I have never seen Bush's birth certificate so should I assume UNTIL I see a physical copy of his birth records that he is a foreigner?

    Again, nothing you said about Obama isn't insane ramblings of someone who just hates the President... nothing more.
  • captainobvious1 · 5 months ago

    Your post is a perfect example of the baseless anti-Obama rants that have become typical.

    You offer no PROOF that Obama isn't a citizen or that he is a Muslim but instead present your gut feelings as evidence. You "having a feeling" that he is a Muslim who is ineligible to be president wont hold up in court.

    You are correct. McCain's candidacy was an exercise in egg shell walking. He was a pathetic candidate. In hindsight, I should have not voted for him based upon his ineligibility and just sat out the presidential election. If Arnold has no hope of becoming president (not that I would support him), so should McCain and Obama. McCain is the perfect example of someone who is a citizen but not a natural born citizen. Obama is a fraud and a liar. He was born in Kenya. The clock is ticking on his presidency. I was pleased that the left-wing attack dog Chris Matthews (he had just lambasted Rep. John Campbell about the Posey bill), give G. Gordon Liddy (the G man) a wide berth in discussing the Obama Certification of Live Birth (COLB). At the end of the segment, Matthews indicated that some confirming information as to Obama's Hawaii birth would be forthcoming in the next couple of weeks. He then asked Liddy if he would apologize and retract his position that Obama is a usurper. Liddy said he would go on the air immediately and do his mea culpas. The question remains: will Matthews do likewise if the information were to confirm a Kenya birth? If so, then he should call for Obama's immediate resignation. In your dreams.

    I lost count of the number of faulty claims and misquotations in Mayree's comment above.

    However, here's a few:
    "...brought his honor to a knife fight with Obama and got gutted..."
    (the usual aphorism is "brought a knife to a gun fight");
    "...goes to a muslim country and says, 'American (sp) is no longer a christain (sp) nation, then goes to Cario (sp) and tells the world, America is one of the larger muslim countries..."
    (the true quotes are: 1) "we have a very large Christian population -- we do not consider ourselves a Christian nation or a Jewish nation or a Muslim nation. We consider ourselves a nation of citizens who are bound by ideals and a set of values." and 2) “And one of the points I want to make is, is that if you actually took the number of Muslim Americans, we’d be one of the largest Muslim countries in the world. And so there’s got to be a better dialogue and a better understanding between the two peoples.”

    I hesitate to throw your words back at you, Mayree, but yes, you'd have to be short of being an idiot...to accept what YOU said instead of what the President actually really said, which was to acknowledge that there ARE considerable numbers of Christians AND Muslims AND Jews (and a lot of Buddhists, Wiccans, Druids, and atheists, too) in the United States/America.

    I also lost count of the misspellings... :) ...a common problem amongst "birthers" and other wingnuts.

Yet, these "quotes" are actually not only misquoted, but misquoted on purpose, in order to skew the truth and gin up the mentally lazy ignorati to a drooling, fevered pitch! For example, among the rest of the faultily repeated garbage you mentioned, Obama never said this was "no longer a Christian nation"..not that it ever was, at that! But, that discussion aside, that alleged "quote" is still NOT what he said! You accuse others of not getting their facts straight, but dollars to donuts, you and your kind have never even watched, listened to or read..in their entirety..in the original..the very speeches you purport to "quote" from! Such ignorance is inexcuseable..but keep up the lawsuits, by all means.

    Justice is an impartial discovery, hearing and ruling of the evidence.

    The Kangaroo Court of the media and the blogisphere is not the place to judge the accusations.

    To me this case is not about a 48 year old piece of paper but our Constitutional Right to petition the government for a redress of our grievances.

    Obama's defense has been that the government has no constitutional obligation to hear the grievance and that ordinary people have no standing in the courts.

    I make no claims one way or another in regards to his eligibility. I have read the arguments on both sides. The evidence requested by the plaintiffs is simple to produce. Their opposition is not an honorable position.

    One would think that Obama would honor his oath to defend the constitution, face his accusers and make his case for the good of the country.

    When ever I make a point on these blogs like this, I am called a sore loser, racist, kook, wing nut, birthers etc., because I do not come across as an Obama supporter. Oh well, the right to petition our government for a redress our grievances and to be heard and judged impartially is something I will give my life to defend.

  • Chad S. · 5 months ago
    There's nothing wrong with petitioning the government through the courts to address grievances you may have. But when the state of Hawaii and their republican governor confirm that Obama was born in Hawaii as he claims, you're going to need some hard evidence that Obama and the state of Hawaii are lying to force a hearing. Just demanding that your questions be answered isn't enough.
  • Jaynez · 5 months ago
    I agree that we have the right to petition -- but I also believe this should not be abused to the point of absurdity.

    If you have time, read the legal documents for the case Kerchner vs. Obama at http://puzo1.blogspot.com/. I think that this case has the best chance of being heard soon. Mario Puzo is a competent attorney and the case and the blog is not being run like a three ring money making circus like similar operations.

    The government lawyers said in their recent motion to dismiss, that the government has no constitutional obligation to hear the grievances of the citizens that hit me like a punch in the gut.

    The government lawyers have not raised the vague statements made by Hawaiian officials as proof that the charges are bogus. Mario Puzo addresses the Statements by the Hawaiian officials.

    I believe that there is legitimate cause for the court to hear the case and review the documents.

    Respectfully,

Especially since it appears that he's trying to claim that since no one has "confirmed" that he's a natural born citizen, he must be barred from office. Thats absurd. No judge will entertain that. And they lose all credibility by bringing up the Sarah Obama conspiracy theory.

    The law is clear, you can be a dual citizen at birth and be a natural born citizen. Thats as clear as it gets. This raises no legitimate cause to hear the case(especially since there's no law backing it) and to review the documents. The birthers need a shred of proof that he wasn't born in Hawaii. They have to yet to present it. Asking Obama to prove their negative isn't proof.

    First, Mario Puzo wrote THE GODFATHER, among other novels, and died in 1999.

    Second, your beef with the government arguing that there is no constitutional obligation in these cases isn't Obama's doing. It's that of the framers. Once the Office of President is filled --- which it has been --- only Congress has the power to do what birthers are attempting to do with these lawsuits.
  • kenthewaterproofer · 5 months ago
    52novels,

    I stand corrected. I should have said Mario Apuzzo Esq. my apologies.

    You are right congress will have to action if it comes to that. Like I said I make no claims one way or another, I am not qualified to make that call.

    We the people have the right to use the courts to obtain discovery and a fair ruling. I believe the courts can order congress to investigate or take action.

    Going through the courts is how the people can keep the power of congress and the executive branch in check.

    Best wishes,

    Ken
  • 52novels · 5 months ago
    Actually, you best keep the legislative and the executive branches in check through the ballot. And Congress can start the impeachment process right now without a successful court case. As for Kerchner v. Obama, it really is warmed over Berg v. Obama. Expect it to get kicked, too.

    If we lived in the same town I would bet you a cold drink (adult beverage if you prefer) and a burger on that. Do you live in Virginia Beach?

    I am a patriot and contractor not a lawyer or a scholar. I play by the rules.


    I believe that the court has to give the plaintiff some benefit of the doubt. The plaintiff needs to show that there is probable cause. The proof can only be released by Obama or by court order. If Mario Apuzzo had the proof then he would not need to request it in discovery. I believe this whole thing is a mess. I would like to see a court hear and rule on it.

    When ever I make a point on these blogs like this, I am called a sore loser, racist, kook, wing nut, birthers etc., because I do not come across as an Obama supporter.

    No, it's because people who question Obama's citizenship *are* kooks and wingnuts. He has released a copy of the official Certification of Live Birth from the State of Hawaii, and the responsible state official has vouched for the validity of that document. This is the exact same type of document that I used to get my US Passport, it is *the* official, certified document required by the government as proof of citizenship. End of story.
  • KarenJ · 5 months ago
    What most "birther" nitwits don't seem to get through their thick skulls is that "a copy of the official Certification of Live Birth" for President Obama -- the one that everyone has seen posted on the Internet -- is the SAME KIND OF DOCUMENT as the one that wingnut woman in the red shirt at the town hall meeting with Rep. Mike Castle of Delaware waved around in a ziploc bag during her rant.

    NO ONE has their true original birth certificate in their own sweaty hands (or in a safe deposit box or safe), including that raving "birther" woman at the town hall meeting. They have a COPY that's been prepared by the county/district/borough Office of Records staff from the ORIGINAL which is kept in protected vault storage (hopefully safe unless the building actually burns down to a smoky cinder or is destroyed in a lava flow -- not likely on Oahu -- it's a good thing Obama wasn't born in Hilo on the Big Island).

    That COPY is then stamped or embossed with the seal of the county/district/borough of birth and verified by the agent responsible for the storage of the document.

    The only difference between an old-time handwritten COPY and the one that's on the Internet for Obama is that Obama's COPY is an updated-technology version. Some counties/districts/boroughs have modernized their technology....

    Most people don't get an updated copy of their original birth certificate unless they lose the one they'd been holding onto for years, or, in Obama's case, a timely updated version is more readable than one that's traveled in a worn envelope through 40+ years and a number of localities in several countries.

    It's bizarre that this is beyond the understanding of presumably educated "birther" people.

    How is anyone unnaturally born?

    I am a citizen of the USA because I applied for it, took the test required, spent the requisite number of years living here and my application was accepted as a result of which I took an official oath in a court.

    So far as I know, anyone born inthe USA even to parents who not citizens of this nation can choose to be a citizen of this country upon reaching the age of majority.

    Obama's father not being a citizen of the USA has no bearing on Obama's status as a citizen. Any notion that parentage might affect the possibility of loyalty to the USA should dismiss most of the residents of North America since more than 90% are of immigrantt stock and as such are all untrustworthy to behave in the best interests of this or any other nation.

    So far as I am concerned, running for president proves that you are mentally defective. Getting that job costs so much money and involves so much abuse that only someone mentally defective would actively seek such a position. (I realize that it is the path to many riches currently but has a better than average probability that someone may dislike so much as to wish to undertake to harm you. Something about that kind of exposure make me queasy.)

    http://www.yannone.org/BlogDocs/KerchnerAdverto...

    The problem is that there is no clear line of reasoning that Hussein Sr. or his mother ever obtained US citizenship, because they have for a long time held citizenship in Indonesia which means they relinquish their US citizenship - as they can't be in two places at once.

    You can't legally be a resident of Indonesia overseas and still be a US citizen, and you can't be "born" naturally while you are still an Indonesian citizen.

    Right there, Judges try to make this law murky or undefined but there are countless articles which prove the Obama's were not US citizens in that they were still overseas.

    And clearly reflected in the law, they are not natural born, if in fact this is all correct then Obama himself being born outside the USA was NEVER a natural citizen which is a concern to every person or should be.

    He can not produce his certified sealed copy certificate, which should concern everyone. He produces a print out "copy" of something and that will never fit the legal definition.

    Barack's father was from Kenya...never lived in Indonesia, ever. Are you thinking of Barack's stepfather, a man from indonesia, who his mother married after divorcing his father? So, your claim that his mother held indonesian citizenship when she was married to his father (from Kenya), before she married his indonesian stepfather, is completely telling of how moronic you are. And, ANY child born in the U.S. is a natural born citizen...whether your parents are immigrants, citizens, or what have you. Why do you think people like Bobby Jindal are called "anchor babies?"

There is not any requirement for citizenship that one's parents be citizens at the time of birth.

    As the article states, the law says that you cannot relinquish your citizenship unless you commit treason or formally renounce it, something Obama could not do when he was a child.

    Because they sealed up the records.

    AND HE MAY NOT ACTUALLY BE A US CITIZEN.....WHICH HAS THE MILITARY CONCERNED AS IT SHOULD CONCERN EVERYONE ELSE...

That very certificate can be used to obtain a US Passport, get a business license, gun permit, etc. It would be accepted in an application for a FEDERAL SECURITY CLEARANCE. Not a picture of the original on file. Not some mysterious "long form." THAT CERTIFICATE.

    To: Not settled I would say this.

    I was present at my birth but I am unable to describe the room or those who attended, nor do I remember if the doctor slapped me. My mother assured me that I was there and the city supplied with a certfied copy stating that someone with the name I currently use was born to a person who used my mother's name, or the one she used while in my presence. A man whose name matches the name the person I was told was my father and which person used in my presence as his name was asserted to be the father of the baby whose name I am currently using.

    Since I am nearly 60 years old I am unable to locate any living persons who attended the birth that I believe is the one I was involved with as a newly born child.

    Even more interesting is the notion that America as I knew it inthe early 1960s when I came here held no sane adults who believed that any African American child had any chance of becoming president in the next 100 years. Most did not believe that any civl rights legislation would ever pass muster in Congress. The amount of hope and planning needed in 1961 to set up anyone to become president inthe next 50 years was insanely massive. Let alone to set up a dark skinned child newly born on the path to the presidency.

    One of the things I kept hearing school was that anyone can grow up to be president. In the past 47 years since I came to the USA 10 people have managed it, well one already was persident when I arrived. The probability of anyone becoming president, a job that requires several hundred million dollars and years of effort, is nearly insurmountable. Starting a conspiracy of that sort in 1961 with a black child as its intended beneficiary would never have been begun.

    Notsettledyet is just religious about this or is simply insane. Such hubris is downright stupid.

    -----------------------------

    Like the people who challenged McCain’s citizenship in 2008 and 2000, or the people who challenged Dick Cheney’s right to run for vice president because he, like George W. Bush, resided in Texas, “birther” plaintiffs have failed again and again to get their cases heard because they lack standing.

    ---------------------------------------

    “We monitored the progress of these lawsuits against the Obama campaign,” said Trevor Potter, a Washington attorney who served as general counsel to the 2008 and 2000 McCain presidential campaigns. “The McCain campaign faced a series of lawsuits like this, too, alleging that he could not be president because he was born in the Panama Canal Zone. Both campaigns took the position that these plaintiffs lacked standing.”

Palin put McCain under along with 8 years of GOP thoughtlessness in choosing her as his running mate. What happened in eight years cannot be fixed in 7 months, and going after Obama's birth certificate is taking time from solving the real problems of this nation. P.S. there is NO bridge to Maui.

    Hey Florida Christian,

    Well if you go to Wikipedia or even go to their state government website, you will cleary understand that Hawaii is a state. It was admitted to the Union on August 21, 1959, according to the Hawaii Admissions Act, which was passed by both the senate and house and was signed by President Eisenhower.

    If BOTH of Obama's maternal grandparents were USA citizens, how does this not make OBAMA a USA citizen. How does this not make his mother a citizen? Family members on his mother's side served our country in the military. Does that NOT MATTER?

    This is a JOKE.
  • Dink Singer · 5 months ago
    No, it doesn't matter. Unlike many other countries your ancestors, other than your parents, do not have any effect on American citizenship and nationality. What makes Obama a citizen is that he was born in this country. The Fourteenth Amendment is very clear "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside." There are other people who are citizens of the United States from birth by law. John McCain, for example, is one of those people (although his case is unusual because he was not a citizen when he was born. He was about one-year old when the law was changed to say he was a citizen from birth.)

    Today if someone is born in a foreign country with a mother who is an American citizen and a father who is not, they are a citizen from birth by law it the mother has resided in the US for a total of ten years, two of which were after her fourteenth birthday. When Obama was born, the law was the same except it required five years residence after attaining the age of fourteen. Unfortunately, Ann Dunham was only eighteen when she gave birth to her son so she hadn't resided anywhere for five years after turning fourteen. There is, however, a special provision of the law, both then and now, for children "born out of wedlock". Since the president's parents marriage was not legal under Hawaiian law, it is possible this provision would apply to him. So even if the crazies are right and he was born in Kenya, he may still be a "natural born citizen".

    The portions of the Immigration and Nationalities Act cited by the attorney you interviewed were ruled unconstitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court in Afroyim v. Rusk, 387 U.S. 253 (1967). Their opinion concluded "We hold that the Fourteenth Amendment was designed to, and does, protect every citizen of this Nation against a congressional forcible destruction of his citizenship, whatever his creed, color, or race. Our holding does no more than to give to this citizen that which is his own, a constitutional right to remain a citizen in a free country unless he voluntarily relinquishes that citizenship."

    A Slave..

    The Slave Blood Theory.

    Slavery has Long Ended...

    Sorry, Bad History

    White Enslaving Whites has been around far longer than White-African Slavery [Sorry]

    I'm going to Dispel the Slave Blood Myth, right [Now]
    -----------------------------

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery_in_medieva...

    Chaos and invasion made the taking of slaves habitual throughout Europe in the early Middle Ages. St. Patrick, himself captured and sold as a slave, protested an attack that enslaved newly baptized Christians in his Letter to the Soldiers of Coroticus .

    In the Viking era starting c. 793, the Norse raiders often captured and enslaved peoples they encountered. In the Nordic countries the slaves were called Thralls (Old Norse: Þræll).

    Germanic laws provided for the enslavement of criminals, as when the Visigothic Code prescribed enslavement both for those who could not pay the financial penalty for their crime , and for those who were to be delivered up as slaves to their victims, often with their property.

    In Carolingian Europe approximately 20% of the entire population consisted of slaves.

    Note: Some people gave themselves to powerful landowners in order to receive protection or food; one Anglo-Saxon will has a land-owner freeing those slaves who had "given her their heads for food." Anglo-Saxons continued and expanded their slave system, sometimes in league with Norse traders.

    Big Note: About 10% of England’s Population Entered in the Domesday Book in 1086 were [Slaves]

    Chattel slavery of English Christians was discontinued after 1066, when William of Normandy conquered England.

    The slave trade in England was abolished in 1102.

    The restoration of order as the early Middle Ages passed was accompanied by the transmutation of this state into serfdom, and after the earlier portions, slaves were seldom of the same country as their owner in Western Europe.

    This IS NOT A RACISM ISSUE

    Believe it or not, the military is concerned because Obama he may have loyalties to outright communist interests or Banking families instead of America.

    Here's how one of your OWN PEOPLE describes it, again we should behave as Americans concerned about the nation.
    http://www.dailykos.com/story/2009/7/23/757034/...

    Let's forget all the petty meaningless he said she said bullshit.

    The left/right paradigm is meaningless. The law is clear. Either Obama is a US citizen with loyalties to that, or he's not.

    The DMV records printout without any gold seal, with nothing official attached is definitely not it as it doesn't prove where he was born.

    We DON'T know where he was born. I'm not saying he was born in Hawaii, Indonesia or Afghanistan. What I am saying is we do not know where...

    They could have settled it ages ago by releasing records and showing photos. That's it. That's all it took. They didn't and now it's a fiasco.

    He could be a NON US citizen this is what countless constitutionalists are saying & RP supporters who don't buy into the two party mafia war.

    if he's a NON US Citizen he could be taking orders from "other" outside forces, not America, which should be of top concern to everybody. Period.

    We need to know why obama has 16 social security numbers & need to know he's USA.
  • the latinist · 5 months ago
    Obama has released his Certificate of Live Birth, a legal document which proves he was born in Hawaii. Hawiian law does not allow access to original birth records or the release of photographs of original records. What we have is the official proof (and ONLY official proof) of his birth in Hawaii, complete with an embossed seal (see the photos at factcheck.org) and a signature. It is admissible in all jurisdictions as proof of birth in Hawaii. He is therefore a citizen of the United States and of the state in which he resides. Period.
  • notsettled · 5 months ago
    If that's the only proof of his being born there, then we're in trouble, because that's a copy without any seal that anyone could do.

    .....And that's no proof of anything in the end so we don't know who he is which isn't good

    Drives me nuts that people do not understand what a Birth Certificate (or a Death Certificate for that matter) is.

    The original documents regarding a Live Birth or a Death are always kept on record at the County Registrar's office. The records themselves NEVER leave the registrar's office, some are on computer only.

    What people order and see is a "CERTIFICATION of a LIVE BIRTH" or a "BIRTH CERTIFICATE" which merely states that a "Birth has occurred and is on record with the County Registrars Office." The County is merely CERTIFYING that a Live Birth is on Record!!!!!

    These Birthers need to get a life, oh, they don't have one... sorry. Forgot. Trust me, nobody who actually works at a County Registrar's office believes this crap because they know better.

    The most meritorious argument -- that dual citizens are not natural born citizens was bury after all the kook theories and poorly explained.

  • Beca · 5 months ago
    No, idiot! the 14th Amendment clarified that the nationality of the parents was not the sole determining factor in the natinoality and citizenship of the child. If the child was born on U.S. soil, the child is a natural born U.S. citizen, even if the parents are not--as were the slaves--their children born on U.S. soil were automatically natural born U.S. citizens.
    The parents could be legal residents of this country and give birth to a child on U.S. soil--that child is automatically a natual born U.S. citizen.
  • tommylotto · 5 months ago
    I am not going to resort to ad hominem attacks. I would just like to point out that the 14th Amendment says "citizen" it does not say "natural born citizen." The term of art "natural born citizen" only appears in the constitution when discussing the qualification of the POTUS and the VPOTUS. So the 14th does not obviously obviate the qualification in Article II. Also, all of the cases in this area are citizenship cases. There has never been a presidential qualification case wherein "natural born citizen" has been defined. We simply do not know how the SCOTUS will apply the term "natural born citizen" to a dual citizen. It might mean, as you suggest, anyone who is a citizen at birth. Or it might mean someone who is only a US citizen at birth, and would exclude anyone born with dual citizenship, dual allegiances and divided loyalty. We just do not know. And I am certainly not going to call someone an idiot for think one or the other interpretation is correct.

    The birther movement is just the start of the Republicans putting into play the strategy that they followed during the Clinton administration. They were able to make enough noise about Whitewater that an investigation was started. By the time it was finished years later, they had gone through Whitewater, travelgate, and numerous other issues, until they finally caught hold with Monica-gate, which hadn't even happened when the investigation started. They were able to disgrace (admittedly with Clinton's own help) a successful Democratic president which allowed them enough of a foothold to keep the race close enough to cheat their way into power in 2000. All the Repubs want to do is open an investigation, which they can use to harrass and persecute Obama throughout his presidency. It worked once, and they are hoping it will work again. Unfortunately for them, the last time around they had a Republican congress to authorize the investigation. This time they have a Democratic congrees who is unlikely to do that.

    Obama HAS. He was born in Hawaii and he has offered exactly what the State of Hawaii presents as it's certified birth certificate. They have a state law that protects their citizens privacy. They do NOT release or copy the original birth certificate. All Hawaiians get their passports with the form the state offers. The Senators and Representatives from Hawaii prove their identity with the state of Hawaii's forms. This is the official birth certificate of the state of Hawaii and Obama presented it ages ago! If you don't like it, you could try to get the state of Hawaii to change it's laws, but until then, this is the way it is.

    Thomas Jefferson was one of the authors perhaps you could be more honest and pick up a book yourself before slamming someone else.
    Authors of the US Constitution

    A man named Gouverneur Morris of Pennsylvania was in charge of the committee to draft the final copy of the Constitution. Other men who had much to do with writing the Constitution included John Dickinson, Gouverneur Morris, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Thomas Paine, Edmund Randolph, James Madison, Roger Sherman, James Wilson, and George Wythe. Morris was given the task of putting all the convention's resolutions and decisions into polished form. Morris actually "wrote" the Constitution. The original copy of the document is preserved in the National Archives Building in Washington, D.C.

    Jacob Shallus who, at the time, was assistant clerk of the Pennsylvania State Assembly, and whose office was in the same building in which the Convention was held, was given the task of engrossing the Constitution prior to its being signed.

    Here is more input from others:

    * The U.S. Constitution is the work of several men, directly and indirectly. The three most notable persons whose work influenced the Constitution but who were not involved in its writing are Thomas Jefferson, John Adams and Thomas Paine. The group of men involved in the writing of the Constitution are generally referred to as the "framers".

    * No single individual wrote it. Twelve of the thirteen states sent delegates to the Constitutional Convention to revise the Articles of Confederation and the entire convention worked on it. After the political questions were hashed out a 'committee of style' was formed to put the ideas into formal words. It is generally accepted that Gouverneur Morris created most of the actual wording included in the final draft from the Committee of Style.

    * Primary Author: James Madison (Drafted the Virginia Plan)
    * The original copy of the document is preserved in the National Archives Building in Washington, D.C.

    Look, what is never emphasized in any of these so-called "birther" dismissals is the fact that Obama himself gives the evidence against his own eligibility on his own websites. He admits that he WAS a citizen at birth of Great Britain. Thus, he held dual citizenships at time of birth and THAT is what makes him ineligible, according to the Constitution, for POTUS. There has never been any President in the U.S. history who had dual citizenship or was not a child of two parents who were both citizens EXCEPT for Chester Arthur who knew he was ineligible and so had to forge fraudulent records of his birth which was later discovered in the aftermath of his term. So, even though people today are ignorant of what is demanded by the Founders in the Constitution, we see that our history shows that it has been well understood by those who did not lack good education in our country's real history. AND .... we are witnessing the results of just such a one today whom our founders had the forethought to plan against (due to their own experience of fighting against those with loyalties to other than the U.S.). And we are seeing one more loyal to other than his own country as he attempts to dismantle its very foundations and discredits before the eyes of the world.

    Okubo, who said that she gets weekly questions from Obama ‘Birthers’ that are “more like threats,” explained that the certificate of live birth reproduced by Obama’s campaign should have debunked the conspiracy theories. “If you were born in Bali, for example,” Okubo explained, “you could get a certificate from the state of Hawaii saying you were born in Bali. You could not get a certificate saying you were born in Honolulu. The state has to verify a fact like that for it to appear on the certificate. But it’s become very clear that it doesn’t matter what I say. The people who are questioning this bring up all these implausible scenarios. What if the physician lied? What if the state lied? It’s just become an urban legend at this point.”

    No, it's not full of lies. No one has been able to find a specific thing wrong with it.

    And, I called Okubo after Weigel printed that quote above, and she refused to confirm the impression Weigel was trying to give.
  • Doubtful · 5 months ago
    LOL, another lie!

    There is no doubt that Okubo said just what Weigel quoted her as saying. People born outside the country simply do not get COLBs saying that they were born in Honolulu.

    You then concocted your own trumped-up version of what Weigel said. It was a lie, and of course Okubo refused to confirm it.

    You're not fooling anyone with this BS, you know!

    Following the tortured logic of the birthers, Geo. Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison were not legitimate Presidents because the did not meet the birthers definition of "natural born citizen." Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison were British citizens because they were in a British colony to parents who were British citizens. Thus, the 14th Amendment. Otherwise, at the founding of the USA, no one had the strict "natural born citizen" qualifications.
  • connjdllm · 5 months ago
    If you read the Constitution further, it provides another basis for those alive at the founding, namely Geo. Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, to be President. Obama does not meet that basis nor the natural born citizenship basis. The Law of Nations describes 3 types of citizenship: natural born, native born and naturalized. Natural born requires both his parents to be citizens. One was not. So, even if born in Hawaii, at best, he is native born and does not meet the Constitutional requirement ans there are doubts that he is even native born.
  • seedaddy · 5 months ago
    The Constitution does not provide any specific definition or qualifications for the term "natural born ." The legal requirements are found in Title 8 of the U.S. Code, Section 1401 which defines the following as people who are "citizens of the United States at birth:"

    Anyone born inside the United States *
    Any Indian or Eskimo born in the United States, provided being a citizen of the U.S. does not impair the person's status as a citizen of the tribe
    Any one born outside the United States, both of whose parents are citizens of the U.S., as long as one parent has lived in the U.S.
    Any one born outside the United States, if one parent is a citizen and lived in the U.S. for at least one year and the other parent is a U.S. national
    Any one born in a U.S. possession, if one parent is a citizen and lived in the U.S. for at least one year
    Any one found in the U.S. under the age of five, whose parentage cannot be determined, as long as proof of non-citizenship is not provided by age 21
    Any one born outside the United States, if one parent is an alien and as long as the other parent is a citizen of the U.S. who lived in the U.S. for at least five years (with military and diplomatic service included in this time)
    A final, historical condition: a person born before 5/24/1934 of an alien father and a U.S. citizen mother who has lived in the U.S.

    In The Law of Nations there are no definitions of native born or naturalized. These terms do not appear anywhere in "The Law of Nations" (1758) or appear in Vattel's work on the subject. Additionally, Vattel's work pertain's to the laws of Great Britain circa 1800. Therefore, not relevant to U.S. law.

    My point below is that if the authors of the Constitution had defined the requirements for "natural born citizen" as strict as the birthers claim, then no one would have met the requirements for the Presidency. Given that the first eight people to be sworn in as President belies the birther's claimed definition of natural born citizen.

    It appears that the birthers are just making up stuff and the suckers take it as truth without checking out the source documents, history or laws. None of the arguments he birthers have made have any substance. It's all smoke and delusions created by the deceitful and gullible.

    Enjoy your fantasy.

    Why do I even bother -- you are truly the racist dumbshit. Completely ignorant of the facts and constitutioal law of the country you live in. The founders included a clause in the Constitution which exempted the current citizens from the "natural born" requirement. Take 5 minutes and research it before you embarass your self and insult the logically thinking people visiting the site.

    This is not a racist issue -- the same people would be bringing these cases if McCain were pres. This is about clarification of the law. The president has provided no evidence that he meets the constitutional requirements for president. McCain's lawyer is mistaken is saying there is no evidence to the contrary -- Obamas mother gave a sworn affidavit that she witnessed his birth in Kenya! Also, birth announcements are not sufficient proof to even play little league softball or attend public school, hold a job, etc. Long form BC would be a good start for evidence, although only SCOTUS can resolve the ambiguity of "natural born" as it applies to those born to at least 1 foreign national. Do some research. And the Keyes case will probably be heard on the merits in California soon... so thats why there's been a sudden media blitz to try to fend off the growing outrage.

Governor of HI says I have a BC ...nope...not good enough. Show me the money as the saying goes...
    For those of you who (scared or stupid I assume) who so readily dismiss the issue without researching, I quote Shakespeare: "This above all: to thine own self be true, And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man"

  • Chris H. · 5 months ago
    Susan, I'm afraid you are an ignoramus. If you are comparing proof, the evidence overwhelmingly supports that he does not "MEET THE CONSTITUTIONAL REQUIREMENTS". (You say born in HI, but thats not the only issue.)

    Re Born in HI: No original BC -- experts have testified in court, however that the COLB online is a forgery.
    Obamas Grandma testifies she witnessed his birth in Kenya -- sworn affidavit -- circumstantial, but very compelling.
    Not only is the real EVIDENCE to prove this issue in Obama's hands, but he refuses to show it! What does that tell you?
    Gov of HI says the have A bc on file, but refuse to tell us what it says or show it. It may say place of birth Timbuktu for all we know!

    The issue is clearly in doubt, one way or the other. Those who believe blindly or ignore the constitional law of our nation, are the truly dangerous ones.

    This case has NEVER been heard on the merits in a US court of law, but there is a good chance that will happen soon in CA -- then, everyone can present their evidence and the Judge will likely subpoena the release of the original bc for scrutiny, then we can at least get that little elusive piece of info resolved.

    It really doesn't matter where he was born. He himself has admitted on his own website/s that he was a dual citizenship at the time of his birth - also a citizen of Great Britain. That in itself disqualifies him for eligibility according to the Consitution's requirements. You may look at all of the precedent cases that define that fact. Of course,who cares these days about the country itself, those who fought for it and its beloved Constitution under which all these leaders have sworn to uphold and defend - against DOMESTIC enemies as well as foreign ones. God bless all of the loyal citizens who have given up their lives for the sake of these truths and freedoms that so many today flush away so easily to their own detriment.

    Well Johnny foreigner. If the military (rightly) has reason to beleive the commander in Chief of the armed forces has no legitimate authority under the US constitution, then it is their SWORN DUTY not to obey his orders. Furthermore, if he is found to be illegitimate for office, any treaties, laws, declarations of war, etc will be considered null. Additionally, our military men fighting will not enjoy the protections of the Geneva Convention in the event of capture, or armistice, etc. So, its kind of important that we're sure he has legal authority to act as POTUS.

    THe question is moot since they no longer occupy the Whitehouse, Its also a weak effort to divert the argument to a meaningless and irrelavant speculation, but I'll humor you speculate that they would have had nothing to hide, and release the original documents without question.

    Nice biased article, David. Barry's never provided a "Certificate" of Live Birth. And again, the pro-barry b.s. artists attempt to blur the line between "citizen" and "natural born". The 14th amendment has nothing to do with "natural born".
    Barry's most damaging secret may not be about citizenship or natural born status at all. There are potentially worse revelations for him than not being born where he claims. We don't know anything about Obama's past beyond what he's told us in his "memoir", and he clearly has been proactive in keeping his birth, medical, and school records under wraps. You don't do so without a reason. And the breach of his passport records by an underling of John Brennan (an Obama security adviser) should be suspicious to everyone.
    He acts like a man hiding something.
    Why don't you write an article on the birth/vital records issuance practices in Hawaii, now and in the 60's, what a "Certification" of Live Birth is, when the electronic form was first put into use, the number of root documents it could potentially represent, the birth record amendment policies and procedures and how an amendment might reflect on what is displayed on a current "Certification" of Live Birth.
    If you're going to be content to simply ridicule people for pursuing the issue, shouldn't you be ridiculing Obama as well for taking it seriously enough to pay Perkins Coie and other firms to battle these lawsuits? If Barry thought it was all as big a joke as you do, I'd imagine he'd release the sought after records and make light of it. So, to be consistent you should be calling Barry a "birther" too. He obviously takes the matter as seriously as those "crazies" you mock.

    Bullcrap. The supposed affidavit was by Obama's Step-Grandmother not his mother and when she said she witnessed the birth in Kenya it was because there was a mistranslation... the family during the affidavit corrected the record several times, but, of course, that's not the part the birthers latch on to... because you are idiots.

    The State Department issued Obama a passport identifying him as a United States Citizen. And that was well before he was President so don't cop out on that.

    Why doesn’t the President dig one layer deeper and release the original or his birth certificate? Because it wouldn’t matter to the birthers. Legal documents, Republican governors, newspaper birth announcements (which come from the state Dept. of Health and not the parents btw) are all dismissed out of hand. Evidence is irrelevant. The real issue for birthers is that in their minds the President is “the other”, the outsider, someone who doesn’t belong to their identity group. It could be because he is half black, had a Muslim father, went to Harvard, lived in Indonesia, grew up in Hawaii or any of the other things about his life that some people can’t comprehend, much less relate to. This has nothing to do with facts or logic, so everyone can save their breath.

    Nobody's kept quiet, and - as has been verified many, many times - independent experts have seen the original birth certificate and testified under oath that it's okay.

    After the slaves where set free, many old white men needed their help with plantations and were upset over the freedom act. What did they do? They brought over Germans. The need persisted so after WWI and WWII many more Nazi prisoners captured by U.S. forces used them as your slaves on their plantations.

    So what do you have now? You have 25% of Americans are German. Many at highest levels in state or country. This is just a fact. But you have to recognize the 'White Supremecy', love hitler and adore him still in fact growing......................is stemming from this group of racist Americans. This group is part of who is running washington on the republican side, in fact ......recent talk of the 'Family' on "C" Street...........adores hitler and supports his ideals. Now is the time to see what 'Lazy old fat cat White Men" did to society". They destroyed America, vote by vote. Look at Limbaugh, Bohner, Bachmann, ...Liddy, Rove. Irish and British, not your country anymore. Sad, sad, sad thing for America becoming the New Germany.

    Those Germans got pay a wage for working. I know for the plain simple reason I knew some of them. This society was built by the people who lived above the Mason Dixon line (look it up if you don't know what that is. This is the reason the South was always poorer than the North. There was no slavery above the Mason Dixon line. Know your American History before you make your self look so stupid.
  • GeorgiaEliot · 5 months ago
    Slavery existed on both sides of the Mason Dixon line, and out west too. And both sides built the country economically, as before the Industrial Revolution, agriculture was the driver of the economy. After the Industrial Revolution, the South turned to cotton (cotton gin? textile mills? ring any bells?) What made the South poor was the lack of industry, the loss of slavery to run the agricultural economy profitably, and the profiteering after the Civil War designed in part to ensure that the South remained impoverished and therefore not a further threat to the Union.
    "Know your American History before you make your self look so stupid." Indeed.

    Obama has repeatedly said he has in a box at home an original birth certificate (not the computer generated official certification).

    That he won't show it, I think, reveals much about the man.

    It is a strategy right out of "Rules for Radicals", to inflame conspiracy theory and divide your opponents. He cares little or not at all for bringing people together, and sees political gain in division. He is the most partisan President in modern times.

    I blame Obama for the "birthers".

    I don't know about you, but I've lost a LOT of papers and documents since I've been in high school, and I'm a FEMALE. Teenage males tend to be a bit more careless.

    But it may have been in his Grandmother's care, because when he was a teenager, he lived with her. So it is possible it's floating around in a box that might have been packed away since her passing, OR she may have misplaced and lost it many years ago.

    As President of the United States, he really does have more important things to do right now other than searching around for an old paper birth certificate THAT WOULDN'T SATISFY THE SKEPTICS ANYWAY!

  • AstonKim · 5 months ago
    This story of his birth has been around since he was a presidential candidate. Many lawsuits with different angles filed by different people and states made it to the Supreme Court. Some where filed by AG but all were dismissed as "lack of standing". This is a simple question that deserve a simple answer. No president / candidate before had an issue of coming clean. Go figure.
  • ffakr · 5 months ago
    No candidate other than John McCain and, from what I understand a couple more over 100 years ago, have had to even deal with these accusations.
    Your issue that he is less forth coming is ludicrist. He's had to bend over backward to prove something that was certified by scores of Hawaiian officials, including the Governor of Hawaii (of the opposition party).

    He was vetted by the Secret Service. He was granted classified to top clearance first as a Senator, then a President so he was vetted by the Dept. of Defense. Hawaii has certified him.

    There is nothing that can be done at this point to convince you, not because he hasn't amply proven he's a citizen but because your hatred of him demands that you support any effort to depose him.
  • AstonKim · 5 months ago
    Ludicrist because you been played. Show me the scores of Hawaiian officials that certified it. No body in Hawaiian certified it. Several states filed lawsuit to get Obama to provide his long form birth certificate. DNC hasn't done its job to vet the candidates and "ignore" lawsuit to ask them to do so. Show me links that say the secret service vetted him. When he was a senator, he wasn't required to be a "natural born citizen".

    Have a group of legal document examiner review his long form birth certificate on file in Hawaii...that's all I ask....The one that he sealed aftering a day of stopping his race to visit his ill grandma. Convenient...
  • AstonKim · 5 months ago
    It isn't what the birthers want to believe or what the obamabot wants. Don't need to go to racial comments and try to destroy each other. Nobody knows the truth until it is revealed. The truth is in the original Birth Certificate that Obama doesn't want anyone to see.

    People have questions about the content of the Long Form Birth Certifcate. This letter only states that the director has "personally" seen and verified.

    The reason the official birth certificate it is prohibited to be release to others because Obama sealed it. It is on him unless he is suited in court to release it.

    There is no point arguing something neither party can proof or disprove if the question is not the COLB or other online copies. If there is a question of the facts..you check the original facts not a copy.

    AstonKim --

    Obama -- and NUMEROUS others -- have done exactly that. In Hawai'i you pay your $5 and get a Certified Copy of a "Certification of Live Birth" in which the recorder of vital statistics (or whatever his/her title is in Hawai'i) certifies that there is a Birth Certificate on file documenting the birth of the person listed on the date and place listed. You cannot get a copy of the ACTUAL birth certificate. Several officials in Honolulu have stated (maybe under oath?) that they have examined President Obama's actual birth certificate, that it is authentic and that ther Certification of Live Birth is legitimate and accurate.

    What more do people want??? It seems some people will not be convinced unless Pres. Obama can come up with a time machine so they can to go back in time and actually observe Baby Boy Obama emerging from his mother's vagina.

    This madness needs to stop.

    Note the careful wording - "...on record in accordance with state policies and procedures."

    What it does NOT say is Obama's place of birth is verified. What hospital? What attending physician? The long form will have that.
    Additionally Hawaii is a (surprise!) a chain of islands. Births (especially as far back as 1961) could be delayed in being reported.
    So O'Dumbo could have been born in Kenya as his Grandmother says and momma gets him to Hawaii some time later & 'reports' the birth. Hawaii (at that time & perhaps still) would issue the COLB on the basis of the 'report'. No way to verify.

    Same with the paper - they accept notices from anyone. So 'legitimizing' BHO sr.'s bastard son would be easy enough.

    The entire situation is nothing more than a diversion from Obama's agenda.

    The Republican Governor of Hawaii has reviewed the birth documents and has flatly said they are accurate and true. The hospital administrator concurs. The newspapers ran birth announcement in 1961.

    How could so many people (andy why would they) be in on such a ridiculous conspiracy.

    Birthers, they just don't get it. They keep asking the same questions, that have been answered over and over again. Are they that stupid, or just really in some dense denial?

    But given how stupid they are, facts aren't going to convince them of anything. They believe every unconfirmed, unsubstantiated rumor and lie (like the $800K figure that Obama supposedly spent on legal fees to keep his true identity a secret) without having one single shred of evidence to support their cause. Not one piece of evidence to support their silly fantasy. Put up or shut up, birthers. Really. Don't you realize how bat shit insane you appear to the rest of us?

    Try, just for a second, to be rational about this little theory of yours.

    It's kind of sad really, watching adults act like children who cannot accept reality.

    But one thing is for sure, it's says so much more about them than it does about Obama any day of the week.

    The birthers are like cult members now. No amount of sunshine is going to penetrate their dark, locked minds. They have come to their conclusions first, and now, however pathetic, they are trying to fit what they believe are facts around the conclusion.

    But it's one giant, epic FAIL.

    And the more they stay at it, the crazier they become. They get more emboldened as the evidence doesn't point in their favor.

    Unfortunately these folks are being linked to conservatives who really want nothing to do with the legitimacy issue, regardless it's outcome.

    For those of you who think it's about race, pull your heads out of your -----s. I can't stand Obama and what he represents ideologically, but I couldn't care less about his race. If this is about race, why did the left make the same challenges about McCain?

    For what it's worth it even if I had ironclad proof of his Kenyan birth, I'd drop it in the the shredder faster than you could say "don't just stand there... nationalize something." Idiot Americans elected the guy, so we live with him. You could run Fidel Castro for President and he'd probably get 30% of the vote even though he's Cuban AND a communist. The idea of constitutional eligibility is lost on these people entirely. They like him and that's all that counts.

    How about this? Text from the First Congress describing this requirement for a natural-born Citizen:

    First Congress, Session II, March 26, 1790 Approved.

    " And the children of citizens of the United States that may be born beyond sea, or out of the limits of the United States, shall be considered as natural born citizens; Provided that the right of citizenship shall not descend to persons whose FATHERS have never been resident in the United States; "

    "Resident" in this usage refers to someone who was in the process of naturalization. (becoming a citizen.)

    Apparently the founders were Paternalists, believing that citizenship could only be conveyed by the father's lineage.


    Since Obama's Father was in the process of Naturalizing to become an American Citizen, everything is okay, right ?

    What's that you say ? He wasn't considered a resident under this Act of congress ? Well then, what is his son's citizenship status ?

You just want to discredit the author sso you don't have to admit you were duped by the usurper in the White House. Even if the authors had no more than a kindergarten education the photographic evidence shown makes it clear the document is fraudulent. Now go back and read the damn evidence and quit worrying about the authors education. Do you have to know who figured out 2+2=4 before you will believe it? Jesus H.Dopefiend! Free your mind and try logic for a change. You people are pathetic!!! More evidence for you. Oh yeah, be sure to discredit the author (credentials listed)because he wants to remain anonymous due to OBOTS who went to his house and trashed his property. REJECT SELECTIVE LOGIC!!!

    Why is there different standards of transparency?

    Certification of Live Birth is not the original. The original long form of birth certificate is wants being requested.

    It is not a copy that's being requested. The sealed orignal is what is being asked for. It isn't good enough to say there is a person listed on the date and place listed by one official who have seen it personally. The issue warrants a group of experts to investigate this. This isn't a you and me. This is to verify the qualification for the most powerful position of the world.
  • Name · 5 months ago
    No it is not the original form, Hawaii does not release copies of the original form. However, it is a legal state document signed and sealed by a duly authorized representative of the Hawaii state government that there is a legimate, original form in there files. The Certification form is a legal document recognized by the state of Hawaii, and then by every other state in the union.

    Here's another piece of logic I have trouble with. The state of Hawaii says they can't release Obama's birth certificate without his permission. What then is that thing that is supposed to look like a computer printout of a birth certificate which is all over the net ?

    Obviously the state of Hawaii DID release it or they DIDN'T release it. Which is it ?
  • Doubtful · 5 months ago
    Obama, like many Americans, requested a certified copy of his Birth Certificate from the state in which he was born, Hawaii.

    Hawaii did what they always do under such circumstances -- they issued him a Certification of Live Birth, with a seal and a signature stamp.

    The Obama campaign scanned it and posted it; and then invited members of the media to examine it in person at the Chicago campaign headquarters. FactCheck was the only organization to take them up on the offer, and sent representatives to look at it and photograph it.

    That is where the online images come from.

    This kind of stupidity and ignorance is what led to the Kennedys,King and Medgar's assassinations. Some person becomes dissatified and starts a lie and people just jump on board because it sounds right or good.These people are not brithers..they are damn FOOLS. They are angry because a black man was elected to the highest office in AMERICA and probably the WORLD. I say "get over it you ignorant,stupid fools. But then you can not fix stupid. Most ignorant people will keep trying to fix a problem the same way,thinking they just might get a different result. When will AMERICA become an INTELLIGENT NATION?

    When will you exercise your intelligence and examine the forensic evidence instead of repeating OBOT mantras?

    Do your own research OBOTS!!! If you would read the articles it's real easy to Google for additional information. Your not really interested in the evidence are you? You just want to discredit the author sso you don't have to admit you were duped by the usurper in the White House. Even if the authors had no more than a kindergarten education the photographic evidence shown makes it clear the document is fraudulent. Now go back and read the damn evidence and quit worrying about the authors education. Do you have to know who figured out 2+2=4 before you will believe it? Jesus H.Dopefiend! Free your mind and try logic for a change. You people are pathetic!!! More evidence for you. Oh yeah, be sure to discredit the author (credentials listed)because he wants to remain anonymous due to OBOTS who went to his house and trashed his property. REJECT SELECTIVE LOGIC!!!

    Don't try and use facts or simple logic with the birthers. They won't hear you. They've been consumed like cult members. Nothing will change their weak little minds, not one thing.

    They keep asking the same dumb questions and the answers are out there, but they don't want to listen.

    They ask, why doesn't he release his COLB?

    The truth is Hawaii state law forbids it. Obama doesn't own it, the state of Hawaii does. They issued him a copy, like most states do, and that's what he used to get his drivers license, passport, etc.

    And the birthers cannot fit this fact into their warped conspiracy, so they just hurdle right on past it as if they didn't see or hear it.

The News/Entertainment media waged a massive propaganda war on the U.S. voters, and the stupid half of the country bought it.

    "Natural born" means "natural born". I doubt if, when the Constitution, everybody got birth certificates. But they didn't want someone coming over from England or wherever in their thirties and getting themselves elected, they wanted to make sure it was someone who was born here and grew up here.
    Maybe bureaucrats screw up, but if there's a birth announcement in a Hawaiian newspaper, that convinces me that he was naturally born in Hawaii, and no one should be making a fuss!
    I was born in Philadelphia, I've gotten a copy from Scranton, but I have no idea what the "original" looks like or where I'd find it. But the certified copy I got works fine!

    Well put. Let's not split hairs. "Birthers" are just thinly-veiled Racist Bigots, and should be called out as such.

    We had to put up for 8 years with a president who didn't win either election fairly - rampant voter fraud in Florida in 2000 put him in office. By all counts, even the under the most conservative-friendly methods, Gore won Florida.

    But we liberals shut up, let the voter fraud go unpunished. Don't give the appearance of sour grapes, we were told.

    Now that the shoe is on the other foot, even though this President won so decisively, they are choosing to make up treasonous reasons not to acknowledge him as our Commander-in-Chief.

    This hoopla over a non-issue (the birth certificate has been examined and verified by MANY MANY republican officials including the governor of Hawaii), is another example of how really out-of-touch republican neo-cons are.

    The story I read says birth announcements are automatically generated by reports filed with the Dept. of Health. All this proves is that someone filed a birth report with the Dept. of Health.

    You have a very "low" standard of proof required for you to believe something.
    If you can game the system by getting one of the Several forms of paper work that Hawaii accepts, (including births aboard a ship in international waters.) then the Birth announcement in the local paper is automatically generated.
  • Florida Christian · 5 months ago
    Exactly, it was so obvious in 1961 this black baby with a muslim name was a shoe in for the presidency, his Mom had to fly to Hawaii and bribe the department of health to issue this fake COLB. Then the birth announcements were generated automatically.

    Then all they had to do was sit back and wait 40 years for him to get elected and force us all to have health care.

    Why cant the libs see the obvious?
  • Doubtful · 5 months ago
    I see. Well, maybe someone with a high standard of proof can explain how a young mother gave birth in Kenya and gamed the system by getting the paperwork to Honolulu so that the birth announcement would be published within a few days of the birth -- in such a way that no one would know it was transmitted from overseas.

    In 1961.

    It continues to amaze me that in this debate the media

    and the OBOTS continue to ignore and refuse to examines

    the evidence of fraud as determined by several licensed

    document examiners who regularly are used by the FBI to

    examine forged documents. Free your mind OBOTS and quit

    spouting the Obama media lapdogs and look at the actual

    forensic evidence which clearly shows the document to be

    an incredibly sloppy forgery. For starters, why would

    the COLB issued in 2007 have the border only found on

    the 2008 COLB form? DUH!!!!! . FOR THE LAST TIME! LOOK

    AT THE FORENSIC EVIDENCE!!! UNFORTUNATELY MANY OBOTS

    WILL NOT HAVE THE BASIC COMPREHENSION SKILLS NECESSARY

    TO GRASP THE IMPLICATIONS, HOWEVER, THERE ARE SOME

    PICTURES SO MAYBE...........? I REPEAT, FREE YOUR MIND,

    AFTER ALL ISN'T SCIENCE SUPPOSED TO BE RETURNED TO IT'S

    RIGHTFUL PLACE IN THIS ADMINISTRATION ?

    Maybe McCain's investigators did not get their facts correct or are were just lousy investigators. He did not win, did not even try to win; all his wind had gone with the years. He was duped into following the in crowd to poverty.

    Maybe you should retry your facts with some common sense and tally the lies that our "POTUS" has endeavoured us with since 2007.

    NAH! I actually made the time and took the effort to examine the forensic evidence with pictures included and came to my own conclusion rather than getting on the group think peer pressure bandwagon. You I see surrendered your mind to the group and try to use insults rather than logic to attempt a point by point refutation of the forensic evidence noted by qualified document examiners. How smart is that? Care to free your mind? here you go............It continues to amaze me that in this debate the media

    Dead wrong. No one who is licensed has said those documents are forged. Only people who refuse to identity themselves because they acutally have no standing claim it to be a forgery. Well real people who have looked at the photos will tell you the claims of being fraudelent are due to image artificats due to monitor resolution and the scanner. Hence why other photos show the seal, signature and don't show artifacts that would make an idiot claim a forgery has taken place.

    The Goverment of Hawaii has said the birth certificate is real. People who went to view it say it is real.

    "For starters, why would

    the COLB issued in 2007 have the border only found on

    the 2008 COLB form?"

    For starters why do only idiots believe this claim? Do you even know what a 2007 and 2008 COLB form issued by a laserprinter in Hawaii look like?

    Obama WTF defines "DOCUMENTED LIE " as :

    1) a statement by one or more reliable news agencies or credible authorities citing supporting verifiable facts which rebut a reported statement by Obama.
    2) observable video/transcript contradictions
    3) the omission of an important fact the exclusion of which defies common sense unless the intent is to deceive


    This therefore EXCLUDES unintentional gaffes eg the Auschwitz Memorial Day blip; the 57 States etc which can be found at New Gaffe City

    This therefore also excludes Flip Flops unless

    a) Obama is seen to be holding multiple positions depending on the audience, eg The Jerusalem flip flop...where his position was altered with 18 hours, talking to different audiences.
    or b) Obama lies about holding a different position e.g denying he favored gun control

    Credit to each of the following news outlets who are some of the most cited in the List of Documented Lies:

    1. Annenberg Factcheck.org; at U Penn
    2. At the St Petersberg Times; www.politifact.com
    3. Washington Post Fact Checker ...Michael Dobbs
    4. Top of the Ticket Blog at the LA Times;
    5. Political Punch at ABC News.com.
    6. Dozens of other major news orgs are quoted to provide support for one or more lies

    No, so long to you Christian whacko. You are welcome to leave this country anytime. Trust me when I say, we won't miss you. Why don't you take some of those fine republicant senators and governors with you. You know the ones I'm talking about. The ones who preach to the rest of us about being "good Christians" and having morals but have none themselves.

    Here's a clue to birthers, Hillary Clinton did more oppo research on Obama than Mccain did.

    And she found nothing.

    Game over, birthers. The longer you stay at this, the more you hurt your own party. Don't you realize this yet? No wonder people don't take republicans seriously anymore. No wonder they have been reduced to being a southern, regional party. All the sane people have left, and it's just the die-hards now.

    More deflection OBOT and tiresome refusal to deal with the forensic evidence Billary did not do. Here's your chance to free your mind.................It continues to amaze me that in this debate the media

    and the OBOTS continue to ignore and refuse to examines

    the evidence of fraud as determined by several licensed

    document examiners who regularly are used by the FBI to

    examine forged documents. Free your mind OBOTS and quit

    spouting the Obama media lapdogs and look at the actual

    forensic evidence which clearly shows the document to be

    an incredibly sloppy forgery. For starters, why would

    the COLB issued in 2007 have the border only found on

    the 2008 COLB form? DUH!!!!! . FOR THE LAST TIME! LOOK

    AT THE FORENSIC EVIDENCE!!! UNFORTUNATELY MANY OBOTS

    the article is utter nonsense.
    1 you can get a colb and still be born outside the country. i wonder why that wasn't mentioned in the article
    2 when the state of hawaii said they have a bc, what does that prove? you act like it proves something. it proves nothing, morons. the birth cert they have is where the real info is. THAT'S WHY WE WANT TO SEE IT! CAPICHE?
    3 the ads in the honolulu newpapers were put there by the state, not by obama's family! this is what the hospitals say. at that time, the info came from the gov't. it's not a contemporaneous anything of substance. jeesh
    4 did you ever think that the constitution using citizen in one place and natural born citizen in another place JUST MIGHT mean that they are two different things? holy cow!
    5 why did they do an exhaustive research on mccain in the senate and leave all this on obama untouched?
  • sak · 5 months ago
    How sad for you. Such anger! Do you think for one minute that the FBI hasn't looked into this? Obama has a top secret clearance! John McCain's campaign investigated this last year and found that the certificate of birth was valid. They dropped the issue as it is not an issue.

    And by the way, Obama's mommy was a citizen, thus he is a citizen no matter where he was born.
  • Greg · 5 months ago
    Obama has a top secret clearance!

    Wrong-O OBOT-O! Obama never went through an FBI Security check. I dare you to furnish and independently verifiable documentation backing up your OPINION. P.S. I do research for a living so be sure and have genuine independently verifiable documentation okay?
  • roooth · 5 months ago
    I double-dog dare you to furnish proof - real, verifiable, proof - that you know whether or not Obama ever had an FBI Security check. Please, enlighten us OBOTS with the wonder of your vast knowledge of the inner workings of the FBI, not to mention the Senate proceedures for dissemination of Classified material to members of the Senate. Or, in the wonderland that is your brain, do you think they just hand out classified material to anyone who gets elected?

    And if you do research for a living, I hope you're doing it better there than what you're posting here; because you have been posting lies, rumors, and misleading information and some really, REALLY bad, shoddy excuses for research..

    Including your crap about Hawaii's Dr. Onaka denying that a certificate had been issued. I researched that. You know, just cause some jackass on d a right-wing blog says it's true is NOT proof. So, if you have any proof OTHER than an unverified, heresay quote from someone with an agneda, please let us know.

    Cause so far, all you've proven here today is the following:
    1. you hate Obama
    2. you know how to cut and paste.
    3. you willingly substitute opinion for facts
    and,
    4. you know how to work the caps key.

    Why don't you get off the right-wing hate sites and do some REAL research. then you can come back and apologize.

    1) The COLB says Obama was born in Honolulu. COLBs for foreign-born citizens state the country/city they were born in.

    3) The fact that the ads were put their by the state is utterly compelling. Are you suggesting the state lied in 1961?

    5) McCain was born outside of the United States, in the Panama Canal Zone. That's why it was an issue.
  • billj99 · 5 months ago
    Hey OBOTS, all we're asking you to do is think a little. Use your minds. Nobody (and I mean NOBODY) is elected president without the help of some very powerful people. These people have the ability to warp history so it matches up to their desires.

    Take George W Bush. He was a draft dodger who didn't even finish his stint in the National Guard because he was taking cocaine and couldn't pass a physical. The man was a coward who spit on the people who fought for this country. But that didn't matter. Powerful people wanted him to be president so they changed the records to it looked like Bush didn't quit the National Guard because he was a crackhead.

    Same with Obama. These same powerful people want Obama to be President the same way they wanted Bush to be President. So they changed the records for Obama like they did for Bush. Now all of a sudden Obama was born in the USA.

    Bush is a crackhead, draft dodging coward and Obama was born in Kenya. That's what the records say. The question is can you see it.

    3. Media bemoan the wingnuttery on primetime, giving rise to more wingnuttery.

    What needs to happen is

    1. Lawsuits dismissed with heavy fines for wasting valuable court times

    Birthers...I want to thank you.

    A heartfelt thank for your tremendous, ongoing efforts to make republicans look like a bunch of know-nothing, racist nutcases. Thank you for your unwavering devotion to this idiotic issue despite the mountain of contradictory facts thrown in your face every day. Thank you for attacking the moderates and thinking, rational people in your party, and for driving them to run away from your party, screaming in horror, at lightning speed. Thank you for being so completely delusional that you refuse to acknowledge that President Obama is sitting in the White House running the Unites States. Thank you for ignoring all the real issues going on in the USA right now. Thank you.

    Please do keep all this insanity going until we have successfully passed health care reform, the energy bill, education reform, and have successfully brought a case challenging bans on gay marriage to the Supreme Court. Please stay the course. It may be difficult, but you can do it! Please keep this up at least through 2010. We really appreciate you embarrassing and alienating decent republican candidates and voters, inserting a huge wedge in your party, keeping your money and focus on this issue while ignoring the mid-term elections altogether. Thank you. Thank you.

    We plan to do so much in the coming months, and then we plan to gain more House and Senate seats and expand our complete control of the entire government in 2010! Your help in this endeavor is very much appreciated.

    Thank you birthers, thank you.

    Maybe you all really ARE true patriots after all?
    Thank you for helping us take the country back.

    And OBOT I want to thank you for you long winded post of superior deflection which continues to ignore and refuses to acknowledged and or examine the forensic evidence. Unfortunately for you, only the foolish are fooled by the OBOTS deception. As well, fortunately for you, only stupid people don't know they are stupid. You can either choose to enlighten your mind by risking exposing it to the forensic evidence or you can resist allowing yourself to informed. Doing the latter does protect you from having to admit to being wrong like you have always done throughout your life. Sad dude...............

    It continues to amaze me that in this debate the media

    and the OBOTS continue to ignore and refuse to examines

    Wow, some of these posters here are the biggest crackpots I've seen anywhere yet, absolutely incredible. Sure, this and this was on so and so's blog so it MUST be true. No one EVER lies on the internet, LOL!

    The fact remains that Obama's mother was a U.S. citizen, no matter where he was born. If she is a U.S. citizen, then he is also a "natural born" U.S. citizen. Jeez. Go back up on the roof people and add another layer of tin foil to your hats. I think all that's coming through now is static.
  • Diogenes · 5 months ago
    It is, and always has been, my understanding that a "Natural-Born Citizen" must have BOTH parents as American Citizens. One doesn't count.

    Earlier I posted an excerpt from the First Congress, Session II, March 26, 1790, which stated that the father HAD to be an American citizen, regardless of what the mother was.

    For you history buffs out there, you know women ALWAYS had the same legal status as men since the founding of our country. ( no they didn't.)

    Let me make a simple point. Can a rational person really believe that anyone running for the presidency has not been scrutinized by the US government and all of it's appropriate/concerned agencies? NSA, DOD, CIA, FBI, etc, etc. Do you really think a person who is not a citizen would not be found out when trying to run for office. You are an utter fool if you think this man is not a citizen.
  • 24AheadDotCom · 5 months ago
    Can a rational person not realize that BHO has been given a pass in nearly everything? The MSM lies for him, sockpuppets rush to his defense, and on and on.

    If you want to prove your point, get officials on record to state exactly what sort of background checks they did on him and file FOIA requests. Otherwise, you're just engaging in a logical fallacy.
  • uniquelyme · 5 months ago
    Yes, most certainly, it's all been one big conspiracy since he's been BORN! Thousands and thousands of people the world over have been giving him a pass and covering up for him since his mother (a U.S. citizen, that itself making him a "natural born" U.S. citizen) gave birth to him, just waiting for him to become U.S. President -- since that is sooo easy to achieve -- so they could launch their evil plan.

    Seriously, are you not listening to what is coming out of your mouth? Wherever you're from, do they actually let you walk around freely without a straight jacket on? I suppose they must -- you're typing on a computer. Amazing that they let you do that.

    You rely to heavily on the competence of Government Officials. Do you KNOW of any project they ever did competently ? How did that 9 trillion dollar war on poverty work out ?

    Apparently, all you have to do to run for office is attest that you are an American Citizen. It only requires acceptance by a state official to get your foot in the door, thereafter everyone assumes it's valid.

    The requirements for running for any office EXCEPT the Presidency are that you be an American Citizen. Obama is clearly that, though whether he is in fact considered to be a "Natural-Born Citizen" has in fact not yet been demonstrated, and wasn't required until he decided to run for President. Who's duty is it to check his credentials ?

    The State Election board ? The State Attorney General ? Of Every State ?

    Illinois certified him. The other states merely accepted it is valid through the courtesy of reciprocity.
  • Jon · 5 months ago
    Instead of spending millions of dollars to fight this, why can't Barry spend $10 for an official copy? That would end it all right there.
  • roooth · 5 months ago
    Uh, wow, do you really not know that what he provided WAS the "official" copy? Not the Right-wingnut "official" copy, of course - there is no such thing. But the real world "official" copy - that has been provided AND verified - again, not verified by the right-wingnutosphere, it was verified in the real world.

    Why should he do it again for a bunch of conspiracy nuts? He's already done everything required of him, and now, he's just a tad busy. Why should he do anything more to give credence to idiots who won't believe it anyway? And why in the world would you think it would end with that?

    What, in the behavior of the birthers, would lead you to think they would suddenly give up and go away when presented with exactly the same facts already available?

    These are people who think Obama was born in Kenya - during the Mau Mau rebellion, by the way, a time when it would have been life-threatening for Obama's mother to even be in Kenya, let alone have a mixed-race baby there, then he was snuck out of Kenya, then snuck into the US, where citizenship papers and newspaper articles were forged.

    Then he was taken to Indonesia, where as a 5 or 6 yr old, he renounced his US citizenship and became a practicing Muslim, which he hid by pretending to be a Christian for a couple of decades. This is what these whack-jobs believe.

    I know if I wanted to sneak into the White House, that's how I would do it.

    And you really think providing any kind of form now would make any difference to the people willing to believe such irrational nonsense?
    Dude, get a grip.

    A "Certification of Live Birth" has NO signatures and is computer generated. This doesn't not classify as a birth certificate. A birth certificate, whatever it may be called, must have signatures and a notary seal.
  • Jon · 5 months ago
    Furthermore, this is from the Hawai'i State Department

    "In order to process your application (to verify that you are a genuine native Hawaiian), DHHL utilizes information that is found only on the original Certificate of Live Birth, which is either black or green. This is a more complete record of your birth than the Certification of Live Birth (a computer-generated printout). Submitting the original Certificate of Live Birth will save you time and money since the computer-generated Certification requires additional verification by DHHL."

    What Barry submitted was a CERTIFICATION of Live Birth. Not enough even by Hawaii's standards.

    Read the article, Jon. In fact read anything but the back of a sugar packet.

    Then come back here and post proof that Obama is spending ANY sum of money to fight this. David Weigel's own articles explain that the cases are all tossed out as frivolous or lacking standing. That means President Obama doesn't have to do anything to defend the suits.

    It would be interesting to know what YOUR middle school transcript was.

    And, Florida Christian alert -- "that would end it all right there" -- can you work that line into a new post for us, Florida?
  • Jon · 5 months ago
    Hey dipshit. Do a simple search. He has lawyers on each case. Lawyers cost money.

    According to Federal Election Commission records, Obama For America paid $688,316.42 to international law firm Perkins Coie between January and March 2009.

    Robert Bauer of Perkins Coie – top lawyer for Obama, Obama's presidential campaign, the Democratic National Committee and Obama's Organizing for America – is the same Washington, D.C., lawyer defending President Obama in lawsuits challenging his eligibility to be president.

  • stephenperry · 5 months ago
    "A survey of the lawsuits filed against Obama reveals a reliance on widely debunked rumors, bogus stories sourced back to web sites, affidavits from “experts” who refuse to provide credentials or even their real names, and frequent and blatant misunderstandings of basic constitutional law. The dismissal of “birther” lawsuits has allowed conspiracy theorists to believe that the information in those suits is accurate–a belief that manifests itself in the emails, phone calls, and town hall meeting rants that have pushed the theories into the mainstream media and the halls of Congress." - David Weigel

    Gee, doesn't that quote just encapsulate everything about ALL the birther comments on this website, as well?
  • Diogenes · 5 months ago
    Opinions of a columnist. I would be interested in a JUDGE'S opinion. Too bad we can't get one. Apparently ordinary Natural-born American citizens aren't allowed to question the credentials of our leader. We don't have standing.

    Fortunately, Members of the Armed forces do, and it appears that there are several willing to go to court to try and get the court to rule on Obama's Legal status as a "Natural-Born Citizen."
  • mantis · 5 months ago

  • Jon · 5 months ago
    Yeah, and the military revoked that guy's notice to deploy due to the fact that they (the military) don't believe he's legit WITHOUT a trial. This sets a precedent that NO ONE will be deployed if they question Barry's status. It's a sad day when the military doesn't even have faith in their leader.
  • GeorgiaEliot · 5 months ago
    Wrong. He was a reservist with the right to decline deployment....so the Army allowed him to decline.
  • PaulT · 5 months ago
    You are mistaken. The military revoked the officer's orders because they think he is nuts. The guy, who is in the reserves, was also fired from his DOD job. So, no, the military does have faith in their leader - it's the Birthers that scare them.
  • roooth · 5 months ago
    God, spare us from idiots with opinions.

    The deployment was revoked because the guy had requested the deployment, and, according to the terms of his reserve contract, he was eligible to change his mind up to the day before deployment. His choice, not the Army's.

    In other words, just like this birther nonsense, there was no controversy, no conflict, other than what this guy was trying to rile up.

    And, the guy had been posting his intent to do this on Freeper sites for months before he volunteered to deploy, all so he could make a stink and get publicity.

    That's right, he intentionally volunteered just so he could refuse to go - and isn't that a big screw you to all his fellow soldiers who have to do all the work involved in getting a soldier ready for deployment, and now they have to undo and redo all the work for someone else - all so Maj. Jackass could make a point with his real estate, dentist, lawyer.

    As a veteran, and parent of a Marine, I think this guy is a low-life slime, who set this up to get publicity for himself at the expense of the Army, his command, and his troops, who now have to send someone else in this guy's place.

    There's a special section in Hell for lying cowards, I'm sure they have room for him.
  • roooth · 5 months ago
    Um, I know how distressing truth is to you, but, too bad - you HAVE gotten a judge's opinion - several, in fact. Everytime you nuts try to get a case against Obama on this kind of crap, it gets thrown out of court.

    I know you guys aren't too bright, but when a case is thrown out of court, it isn't the janitor who throws it out, it's the judge. That's your judges' opinions - that the cases are so without merit that the courts - not just one court, and not just one judge - will not hear them.

    We wanted it verified BEFORE the election. Every legal maneuver was used to block confirmation, and the media refused to even notify the American people that it was a concern.

    The Name "Birthers" is a derogatory term which is applied to people who want proof of "Natural Born Citizen" status by people who hate them anyway. It is intended to malign these people in the manner that Polish jokes spread by the Nazis did during world war II.

    It WAS verified before the election. No amount of foot stomping by delusional whiners changes that.

    You're like toddlers, thinking if you close your eyes and pretend not to see something, it doesn't exist. So you stomp your little feet and throw your little tantrums and demand to see proof - and then refuse to open your eyes and see what's in front of you.

    Of course, you'd have to admit you were wrong then, and we all know that isn't going to happen.

    And that really is what it's all about - the lengths you guys will go to, the lies you will tell, the claims you will make - all so you don't have to admit you were wrong.

    You have to wonder why BHO supporters are just so darn eager to sweep all of this under the rug. They're really going full court press on this, aren't they? An endless parade of sockpuppets from the HuffPost is filling the comments with content-free garbage. If there's nothing to this story, why are they going all-out to smear and lie? Are they afraid of something?

    If anyone wants to do something about this, simply tell the truth in as many forums - online and offline - as you can. Avoid obscure theories or things you can't prove. Unless you can definitively prove that BHO was born in Kenya, don't say it.

    Just concentrate on the facts of the matter, and use that to discredit hacks like Weigel but more importantly to discredit the MSM. For the facts of this matter - no speculation, no wild theories - see my exhaustive coverage of this issue. Send that link to your friends and use it as a guide to show how MSM reporters are lying.

For 3 hours now I have posted clear evidence that is of the kind admissible in a court of law to prove a document a forgery and every single Obot since then has refused to acknowledge, examine, disprove the reports by several forensic document examiners. OBOTS=Deaf, dumb. and blind.

    Barry shouldn't need to spend $10 or $20 for a new one when he's already presented his original birth certificate twice in two years, one to the U.S. State Department's liking and the second for factcheck.org to see and examine in person in Hawaii which checked out legitimate people. This is just an attempt by racist goons who still can't get over the fact a black man is President of the United States. This is an attempt to spew all their years of hate and venom at a man who's clearly more an American citizen than these loons are.

    Maybe this is too complicated for you, but try to see my point. McCain
    really wanted to be president, right? He had all the resources money could
    buy to find out if Obama is not American, right? I know Obama is American,
    because otherwise, McCain, who, remember, really wanted to be president,
    would have exposed Obama, so McCain could be president without question.
    Either that, or McCain could have proven that Obama is not American, but
    really want to win. Do you see my point?

He could also release the info on his college records and who he got funding from to pay for his education (since he didn't have the money to pay for it).

    Obama could end all speculation tomorrow afternoon if he had nothing to hide, but he hasn't. So.....................seems like he has something to hide here.

  • Mum48 · 5 months ago
    NO ONE has their original birth certificate. The original is filed with the state as part of their original records. What you can obtain is a copy or a document that contains the same information, which is stamped or embossed with something that makes it an authentic, verified "copy." I have the thermofaxed copy of my original birth certificate from 1948 which was given to my parents after my birth. If I were to contact the city of my birth now to ask for a copy of my birth certificate, I would get something that looks nothing like the thermofaxed copy that I have in my files, but it could be used anywhere as proof of my birth. I know this because I have had to obtain a copy of my birth certificate a few times in the past 30 years and the document I received was in no way as detailed as the thermofaxed document. It did, however, contain all the information necessary to obtain a passport.

    "The world is round not flat." --MikeB

    What evidence do you have to prove that the world is round not flat?

    I'm talking legit evidence. Dont tell me about any of the obvious fakes that have been discussed and shredded by my online newsletter already.

    It seems like such a simple request. Just back up what your saying, dude. ANY map that has a certificate (not certification) of authenticity should be able to prove your point, and then this whole thing will be laid to rest.

    If you dont want to admit your wrong just say it libtard. Just say your wrong and this whole thing goes away.

    _______________________________
    jimpa:

    Evidence :
    Most Americans believe the world isn't flat. Just a small group of people believe that the earth is flat.
    Astronauts and cosmonauts has seen the earth and state that the world isn't flat.
    We have satellites orbiting the planet and their data says the world isn't flat.
    Go to any main stream news source and it will state the world isn't flat.
    Sailors at some point would fall off the flat surface.

    1 - Link, please. Not to one of your commie libtard sites. Just a small group of people freed the U.S. mainland from British tyranny and lazy shiftless Native American Indians, pal. Dont tread on me.

    2 - The moon landing was faked. Prove that it wasn't. Without using faked proof. I don't trust cosmonauts, they're commie fascist socialist marxist leftist rightist upist downists.

    3 - You don't effing know what our satellites say unless you can read encrypted spy satellite code, libtard. We don't trust dumbocrats with national security.

    4 - Main stream media is a libtard sewer.

    5 - They'd have to go off the EDGE, Obamaphile. Who's dumb enough to sail off the edge? Sailors, like my grandfather and greatgrandfather who both served three tours in Iraq and Afghanistan AND Gettysburg, know how to steer a ship. Unlike you, libtard.

    My grandmother says "those who have nothing to hide, hide nothing."

    Obama hides a lot. He could have put this whole issue to rest with $12 to obtain a copy of his long form vault birth certificate. But he hasn't. Instead he's spent more than a million in legal fees to keep it hidden. Why? Even the most liberal moonbat must somewhere deep inside find that odd and a little disturbing. He even wrote in one of his books about himself that he found his birth certificate tucked in a book in the attic - so why doesn't he go get that one and show it? The man is hiding too much about himself!

    There is NOTHING racist about asking someone holding the highest office in America to prove they are in fact legally eligible to hold said office. Those screaming "racist!" are proving themselves incapable of holding any real debate or willingness to consider the possibility that their kook-aid drinking has blinded them the fact that they may have been duped by a man who is doing his very best to destroy America. Open your eyes, obots, and really listen to what your dear leader says and does. He's a race baiter and you are all following in his footsteps each time you accuse someone of being racist for merely requesting the man prove he is a natural born citizen, or for disagreeing with his policies. Do you ever ask yourself how your accusations of racism make sense in arguments like this? Pray tell, kool-aid drinkers, exactly what race is socialist? What race is the intent to raise taxes on hard working citizens to pay for pork? Come on, you must have an answer since you're so quick to accuse others of racism for daring to disagree or question your dear leader... so explain it.

    Are Americans not permitted to disagree with Obama or question him because he's *gasp* half black? Does the color of his skin mean we must all support all his policies, ideas and full agenda, no matter how damaging to the country or boneheaded they may be? Isn't screaming racist at those who exercise their rights to free speech and personal choice a bit racist on your part? Oh, that's right, liberals only believe in free speech if it is speech they agree with, otherwise they consider it racist and treasonist. What a bunch of hypocrites you liberals have become.

    If you hate this country so much you chose to turn a blind eye to the damage being done by the growth of the government, if you want some suit in Washington telling you what you can and can't eat, if your mommy can have that life-saving surgery or not because of her age and value to the great society, then please do those of us who believe in the Constitution and what America stands for, who believe in personal responsibility and civility and law, and please leave. There are plenty of countries out there who would love to embrace whiny brats who stamp their feet and cry racism whenever they don't get their way, who want the government to take care of them from cradle to grave and take away all personal responsibility and choice... Go, find happiness and try to create your liberal utopia elsewhere, and when it fails, because socialism always does, don't come crying to those who called racist for asking the POTUS to show a valid long form birth certificate and who are actually paying attention to what the man does and says.

    A heartfelt thank for your tremendous, ongoing efforts to make republicans look like a bunch of know-nothing, racist nutcases. Thank you for your unwavering devotion to this idiotic issue despite the mountain of contradictory facts thrown in your face every day. Thank you for attacking the moderates and thinking, rational people in your party, and for driving them to run away from your party, screaming in horror, at lightning speed. Thank you for being so completely delusional that you refuse to acknowledge that President Obama is sitting in the White House running the United States. Thank you for ignoring all the real issues going on in the USA right now. Thank you.

    Please do keep all this insanity going until we have successfully passed health care reform, the energy bill, education reform, and have successfully brought a case challenging bans on gay marriage to the Supreme Court. Please stay the course. It may be difficult, but you can do it! Please keep this up at least through 2010. We really appreciate you embarrassing and alienating decent republican candidates and voters, inserting a huge wedge in your party, keeping your money and focus on this issue while ignoring the mid-term elections altogether. Thank you. Thank you.

    We plan to do so much in the coming months, and then we plan to gain more House and Senate seats and expand our complete control of the entire government in 2010! Your help in this endeavor is very much appreciated.

    Thank you birthers, thank you.

    Maybe you all really ARE true patriots after all?
    Thank you for helping us take the country back.

Unfortunately for you, only the foolish are fooled by the OBOTS deception. As well, fortunately for you, only stupid people don't know they are stupid. You can either choose to enlighten your mind by risking exposing it to the forensic evidence or you can resist allowing yourself to informed. Doing the latter does protect you from having to admit to being wrong like you have always done throughout your life. Sad dude...............

  • stephenperry · 5 months ago
    Slow down, Diogenes. Why, exactly, did Shakespeare pen the famous line "the first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers?" It's not because he hated lawyers. No one reads the context. He had one of the criminals say that, because to proceed with a criminal scheme, they needed to get the lawyers out of the way.

    Lawyers help much more than they hinder. When you get sued, you will want a lawyer. When you need to sue, you will want a lawyer. When your daughter marries a lawyer, you won't commit suicide.

    Full disclosure. I'm a lawyer. And a Shakespeare fan. And I don't like the idea of a socialist collective. If you like socialism, go to Alaska, because that's the closest thing to socialism that you'll find in America. At least until the Alaska Permanent Fund dries up and Palin's successor can't keep handing out the checks.

    Simple. 1. No, the CoLB is not his long-form birth certificate, which would actually indicate whether he was born in a Hawaiian hospital or overseas. 2. He has not allowed access to his long-form birth certificate. Why not? I'm not crazy, I'm not illogical, I'm not a Truther, and I don't have any additional facts or arguments to cloud the issue.

    You have a right to privacy UNLESS you want to lead. Obama has a DUTY to every member of the Armed forces to put this issue to rest so that Soldier do not have to wonder if their commander is legitimate or not.

  • roooth · 5 months ago
    Good Grief - do you all have severe short-term memory problems?

    1. Having a long or short form birth certificate has NOTHING to do with place of birth. Both long and short will only be issued to births which have been certified to have taken place in the state that issues the certificate.

    2. The state of Hawaii has laws - you know that, right? The state of Hawaii issued the certificate that their laws require them to issue.

    It really is as simple as that. No mystery, no conspiracy. The state of Hawaii decided years ago to computerize all birth records. Old BC's were scanned in - and the state only issues what Obama got - no long forms. The scanned copy of Obama's original has been checked an verified. The state of Hawaii has confirmed the verification.

    Unless you get your news only from right-wing sources, you already know that there is nothing to this made-up conspiracy.
  • Frank_Saige · 5 months ago
    Nothing personal, but you're wrong about Hawaiian law regarding the long form birth certificate.  It was possible until recently to have a baby overseas, come back home to Hawaii, and register that birth in Hawaii.  I can't cite for you right off the top, but what I read on this included the language of the law itself and gave examples of births registered in this way.
  • evreport · 5 months ago
    “It’s crazy,” said Janice Okubo, director of communications for the Hawaii Department of Health. “I don’t think anything is ever going to satisfy them.”

    Okubo, who said that she gets weekly questions from Obama ‘Birthers’ that are “more like threats,” explained that the certificate of live birth reproduced by Obama’s campaign should have debunked the conspiracy theories. “If you were born in Bali, for example,” Okubo explained, “you could get a certificate from the state of Hawaii saying you were in Bali. You could not get a certificate saying you were born in Honolulu. The state has to verify a fact like that for it to appear on the certificate. But it’s become very clear that it doesn’t matter what I say. The people who are questioning this bring up all these implausible scenarios. What if the physician lied? What if the state lied? It’s just become an urban legend at this point.”

    By the way, apologies, Dave, for my many duplicate comments, however, birthers are rather slow and challenged and seem to need things repeated over and over and over and over before they even begin to understand, as you clearly already know! ;-)

    Birthers...I want to thank you.

    A heartfelt thank for your tremendous, ongoing efforts to make republicans look like a bunch of know-nothing, racist nutcases. Thank you for your unwavering devotion to this idiotic issue despite the mountain of contradictory facts thrown in your face every day. Thank you for attacking the moderates and thinking, rational people in your party, and for driving them to run away from your party, screaming in horror, at lightning speed. Thank you for being so completely delusional that you refuse to acknowledge that President Obama is sitting in the White House running the United States. Thank you for ignoring all the real issues going on in the USA right now. Thank you.

    Please do keep all this insanity going until we have successfully passed health care reform, the energy bill, education reform, and have successfully brought a case challenging bans on gay marriage to the Supreme Court. Please stay the course. It may be difficult, but you can do it! Please keep this up at least through 2010. We really appreciate you embarrassing and alienating decent republican candidates and voters, inserting a huge wedge in your party, keeping your money and focus on this issue while ignoring the mid-term elections altogether. Thank you. Thank you.

    We plan to do so much in the coming months, and then we plan to gain more House and Senate seats and expand our complete control of the entire government in 2010! Your help in this endeavor is very much appreciated.

    Thank you birthers, thank you.

    Maybe you all really ARE true patriots after all?
    Thank you for helping us take the country back.

    Please find a republican candidate's town hall meeting near you and raise this issue LOUDLY. I suggest then leading a rousing rendition of the Battle Hymn of the Republic when you do not get the answer you want!

    Thank you.

    "While they ruled out any chance of the ‘birther’ lawsuits holding up in court, lawyers for the McCain campaign did check into the rumors about Obama’s birth and the assertions made by Berg and others. “To the extent that we could, we looked into the substantive side of these allegations,” said Potter. “We never saw any evidence that then-Senator Obama had been born outside of the United States. We saw rumors, but nothing that could be sourced to evidence. There were no statements and no documents that suggested he was born somewhere else. On the other side, there was proof that he was born in Hawaii. There was a certificate issued by the state’s Department of Health, and the responsible official in the state saying that he had personally seen the original certificate. There was a birth announcement in the Honolulu Advertiser, which would be very difficult to invent or plant 47 years in advance.” - David Wiegel, supra.

    You know what, these conspiracy theories are for the whackos. If you think about it if anyone can tell a person what country their forefathers came from before they came to the U.S. then none of us is natural born. The only ones that are natural born citizens are the Native Americans. And we all know what happened to them. those same "natural born citizens" kicked them off of their land and put them on reservations and branded them as savages. And all of that was in the name of progress. Some progress we have made when we have to questions ones citizenship when most of us are not really "natural born".
  • Diogenes · 5 months ago
    First of all, it's not a conspiracy theory. People who are alleging a conspiracy (in 1961) are nuts.

    Secondly, the definition of what "Natural Born Citizen" means is up to the men who put it in the Constitution, not what YOU think. The only exception to this is by a legislative act to redefine the meaning of that legal term.

    I second that. When I requested a copy of my birth certificate -- by the way, from the state where I was born in the United States -- not from "the United States," I was sent **a copy** of my birth certicate. That's why most states' websites have the language of "Request **A Copy** of Your Birth Certificate."

    And I certainly don't run around keeping my birth certificate in a baggie either, like the Birther Baggie Lady.

    The so-called graphics expert has no credibility if he is not even willing to back up his "expertise" by putting his name and face to it, it's that simple.

    The Citizens-whatever groupo who have "indicted" Obama are coming close to treason themselves.

    Obots!!!

    Think of this as an intervention. This is not about politics. This question strikes at the very heart of what makes this country legitimate. You can be a political supporter of one Barack Obama without being an Obot. Some of us are asking you to open your eyes a little.

    Obama has wanted to be President since he was a young boy. This is fact. It is also fact that Barack Obama is ambitious and intelligent. Driven by his ambition, Obama used his intelligence to overcome the one obstacle in the way of him becoming President.

    Obviously, Obama had to have some help. Most likely, Obama was financed by some African and Asian Muslims who had the patience to make a long term investment in Obama. We are not saying Obama isn't American at heart. But he is conflicted. He lied about his origins to get into office and he financed those lies with money from radical African Muslims.

    One day America will have to go to war against Africa in the same way it went to war against Panama, Haiti, Cuba and Alaskan Separatists. Whose side will Obama be on then? That is why Obama must be removed from office. Biden is obviously in on the conspiracy. Thus I suggest we turn the government over to Hillary Clinton. In these circumstance, I think it would be appropriate to bring Bill Clinton back into the government as Vice-President.

    Thoughts?

    CNN/U.S. President Jon Klein told staffers at the cable news network Thursday night that the supposed controversy regarding the legitimacy of President Obama’s birth certificate is a “dead” story after anchor Lou Dobbs drew attention for raising the issue repeatedly on his radio program.

    The website TVNewser reported today that Klein sent an e-mail to staffers of “Lou Dobbs Tonight” just as the program went to air, informing them that CNN researchers had determined that Hawaiian officials discarded all paper documents in 2001. A long-form birth certificate with details about the doctor who delivered Obama no longer exists, they reported. The shorter Certificate of Live Birth noting Obama’s birth on Aug. 4, 1961, that has been made public is the official record.

    “It seems to definitively answer the question,” Klein wrote, according to TVNewser. “Since the show's mission is for Lou to be the explainer and enlightener, he should be sure to cite this during your segment tonite. And then it seems this story is dead -- because anyone who still is not convinced doesn't really have a legitimate beef.”

    In his show Thursday, Dobbs did note the explanation from Hawaiian officials, though he went on to devote another segment to the topic, interviewing CNN contributor Roland Martin and Rep. Ted Poe, a co-sponsor of a bill that would require future presidential candidates to produce their birth certificates.

    Anyone think this will stop the birthers? Of course not. Obviously, the fix was in back in 2001.....and the MSM is in on it. Now they can refocus their efforts on finding the memo that Obama wrote that directed Hawaii to destroy all of their vault copies.

    Crap! We better destroy that memo, and fast!

    Hahahahahahahaha
  • Diogenes · 5 months ago
    If Hawaii destroyed all their vault copies, it means that it is IMPOSSIBLE to prove legitimacy by anyone relying on Hawaii.

    As the burden of Proof must be on the person claiming the right and privilege of running for President, a lack of compelling proof ought to be a default disqualification.

    Illegitimate. In more ways than one.

    Again I say, if there is NOTHING to show, then let's SEE what is in his file !

    Just authorize the state of Hawaii to release WHATEVER is in the file, and allow the Hospital that Birthed him to release his Birth records, or did they destroy those two ?

  • Diogenes · 5 months ago
    And THAT is the question ! If that document came from Hawaii and is certified, then why are all the details (such as doctor and place of birth) left off ?

    If it is forged, why bother if the state will release your official one for just a few dollars ?
  • Diogenes · 5 months ago
    Seriously, if the answer from the state of Hawaii is that they do not have ANY proof except a computer printout, he ought to have been AUTOMATICALLY disqualified.

    What is the veracity of a computer printout worth? Nothing. It can be faked or tampered with without regard to the truth.
  • roooth · 5 months ago
    Well, then, all the election results derived from computer printouts are also, ipso facto, disqualified. Right?

    Besides, there is such a thing as computer "watermarks", fsecurity. And, hold your shorts, the original was scanned into the computer and has been seen and verified.

    I see the tinfoil-hat brigade has been hard at work again. Thus far, we've had:

    The US has never landed on the moon

    Bill Clinton and his wife had Vince Foster killed

    Bush, Cheney, and the other elements of a vast conspiracy destroyed the World Trade Center's towers using either demolition explosives, a missile, or a remotely-guided plane

    For me, the funniest thing about all these conspiracies is that my strongly left-wing friends and the frothing-at-the-mouth right-wingers I meet believe in the same conspiracies, though they believe that different people lead them.
  • Diogenes · 5 months ago
    You believe this because you want to believe this. You have not looked closely at what is being alleged by the "Right Wing." Sure, some kooks are alleging conspiracy, but others are simply pointing out that no evidence has been submitted which proves Obama is in fact a "Natural Born Citizen."

    Hawaii allows for people born aboard ship to be registered as being born in Hawaii. This is fine for any legal purpose EXCEPT being President.

    If He won't allow us to see his file, how can we believe he's really a "Natural Born Citizen."
  • stephenperry · 5 months ago
    No evidence has been submitted, other than his birth certificate, you mean? Because even that would be false. Not only has his birth certificate been publicly-available for a year, but Hawaii's state officials, under a Republican Governor, have authenticated it.

    What you mean is that President Obama hasn't stopped doing Presidential things just so he could crawl down into the weeds with you dolts.

    Hint: he doesn't have the burden of proof. You do. And you've got Phil Berg in his lawsuit citing to Wikipedia in Italy. What does that tell you? Wiki-fucking-pedia even in America wasn't suitable for Berg. He had to go to Italy even to find a Wiki reference that he could hang this nonsensical racist bullshit on.

OBOTS desperate to link conspiracy nuts with anyone who would have the gall to defy the group think peer pressure and read reports given by document forgery experts and actually find some merit in their findings. Find that odd? Talk about waging war against having an open mind. Notice how every single OBOT rant has yet to actually consider much less acknowledge the reports from experts in document authentication?

    It continues to amaze me that in this debate the media and the OBOTS continue to ignore and refuse to examines the evidence of fraud as determined by several licensed document examiners who regularly are used by the FBI to examine forged documents. Free your mind OBOTS and quit spouting the Obama media lapdogs and look at the actual forensic evidence which clearly shows the document to be an incredibly sloppy forgery. For starters, why would the COLB issued in 2007 have the border only found on the 2008 COLB form? DUH!!!!! . FOR THE LAST TIME! LOOK AT THE FORENSIC EVIDENCE!!! UNFORTUNATELY MANY OBOTS WILL NOT HAVE THE BASIC COMPREHENSION SKILLS NECESSARY TO GRASP THE IMPLICATIONS, HOWEVER, THERE ARE SOME PICTURES SO MAYBE...........?

    Obama is keeping the best available evidence secret. Let's just add suppression of evidence to the other charges of election fraud, campaign finance violations and filing fraudulent documents in all 50 states. No matter what you might think there is no escaping that AKA Obama is not practicing the virtue of full disclosure.

    More grist for the mill

    "Forensic document examiner Sandra Ramsey Lines,
    http://www.asqde.org/SRLines/SandraRLines.htm
    a Former Federal Examiner with a long history of expert testimony in state and federal courts, has testified in an affidavit
    http://www.therightsideoflife.com/wp-content/up...
    that states, in part:

    After reviewing Dr. Polarik’s analysis, Sandra Lines says, “I can state with certainty that the COLB presented on the internet by the various groups, which include the “Daily Kos,” the Obama Campaign, “Factcheck.org” and others cannot be relied upon as genuine. Dr. Polarik raises issues concerning the COLB that I can affirm. Software such as Adobe Photoshop can produce complete images or alter images that appear to be genuine; therefore, any image offered on the internet cannot be relied upon as being a copy of the authentic document.” Sandra Ramsey Lines summary is also posted at U. S. Law Blog. "

    See Saul Alinsky RULE 5: Ridicule is mans most potent weapon. There is no defense. It’s irrational. It’s infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions.

    (Pretty crude, rude and mean, huh? They want to create anger and fear. I can remember when liberals were nice people who were just wrong about most things. Now they are wrong and nasty.)

    The “progressive movement” has shown itself to be a cesspool of intolerant bullies. The trademark personal insult, name calling, ridicule, and ad hominem attacks characterize the debate style of Obama’s people That tactic has worked quite well on the ignorant and those who value feeling more than reason.

    It's Official! Hawaii never issued Obama's 2007 Certification of Live Birth
    http://polarik.blogtownhall.com/2009/07/14/its_...

    "But, the real killer of this birth certificate scam is that Hawaii never made a 2007 Certification of Live Birth for Obama, never issued a 2007 COLB for Obama, and never confirmed anything about this bogus 2007 COLB that Obama, his staff, and Factcheck have insisted is a real document. "

    I asked Dr. Onaka if the COLBs are stamped using a machine or by hand. He said, "Both." Hawaii uses a machine that applies the Seal and stamps electronically and simultaneously. That's why they appear to be placed in the same position, from year to year - except in years where the large Seal design is used. He said that they use a desktop Seal embosser, similar to what notaries use, but much longer, so as to place the Seal higher up on the paper.
    I asked him, "Why is the border on 2007 COLB different from the 2008 COLB, why is the Seal larger, and why is your signature stamp located off to the side instead of directly under the Seal? He told me that they alternate the Seal design and border design, and when the Seal (the larger one) doesn't leave enough room to place the signature stamp below it, it's put off to the side. Evidentally, this larger Seal is what is applied by hand, as in every case where it has been used, the Seal impression appears in a different spot on the paper.

    Then, I slipped in the the following question. I asked him if Janice Okubo had confirmed that his office produced a 2007 Certification of Live Birth, date-stamped June 6, 2007, with Obama's birth information on it, and he quickly replied:

    "Absolutely not. No one in our office confirmed it."
  • roooth · 5 months ago

    It is an official document spit out by the computers at whatever office in Hawaii. The embossed seal is some staff member who represents the Secretary of State attesting that they based this document on the official records on file with the State.

    It is, in other words, the type of document that we ALL have to obtain whenever we need a "birth certificate" for purposes of marriage, passport, drivers licenses, social security, etc.

    He "lost" the race for U.S. Senate to Barack Obama, but little did Obama know that Keyes was just setting him up by ducking that race and losing by an astronomical margin, all laying the foundation for a massive assault on Obama when he was weakened by the burdens and limitations of the U.S. Presidency instead of a state senate office, which is what Obama had when he whipped Keyes in the U.S. Senate race.

  • Diogenes · 5 months ago
    A lot of people aren't aware that Obama won most of his "elections" by getting illegal dirt on his opponents and leaking it to the press causing them to give up their campaign.

    In the case of his opponent Jack Ryan, his people accessed sealed legal records from Jack Ryan's divorce from Jerry Ryan (of star trek fame) and then splattered all of her accusations on the media and the press.

    Jack Ryan resigned his campaign, and Alan Keyes was brought in at the last minute as a desperate last straw tactic. It was no surprise to anyone when he lost. Had Mike Ditka agreed to run, Obama would STILL be a nobody.

    Okay, i've looked at it. (i've seen it before) Among other problems I notice is that someone is being misleading.

    They claim to have seen it first hand, but a post earlier claims that Hawaii destroyed all it's "Vault Copies" back in 1981. HMMM....

    Secondly, it claims "We conclude that it meets all of the requirements from the State Department for proving U.S. citizenship."

    Fine. I'm not contesting his citizenship. He's an American Citizen.

    Is he a "natural born citizen." Which is distinctly different.

    Also, is the State Department the one who decides on whether or not a man is qualified to run for the office of President ?

    Nope. It is the responsibility of the Election officials in EVERY SINGLE STATE to establish his credentials. (The State Dept. Does not officiate over elections. It is a branch of the Executive office.)


    Ohhhh, there's more, but the questions i've pointed out are pretty big questions. I'm begining to think that Election Officials don't know the difference between Citizen and "natural born citizen."

    "Update Nov. 1: The Associated Press quoted Chiyome Fukino as saying that both she and the registrar of vital statistics, Alvin Onaka, have personally verified that the health department holds Obama's original birth certificate."


    If the copy has been destroyed, why are they saying they have a copy of the "original" birth certificate ?

    You must be working really hard at NOT getting this, otherwise you'd have to be dumb as a post.

    You don't get a certificate of live birth from a state if you weren't born there. Period. End of story. I was born in FL, I cannot get a BC from California, I have to get one from the STATE THAT CERTIFIES MY LIVE BIRTH. How are you confused by that?

    Born in Hawaii = eligible for state issued BC = natural born citizen = eligible to be pres.

    It really is that simple.
  • JayCee · 5 months ago
    "You don't get a certificate of live birth from a state if you weren't born there."

    In FL, where you were born: No, you can't. In WI, where I was born: No you can't. But in Hawaii? If a family member who is a resident makes the request: Yes, you can!

    You slander Berg in the first sentence with your "gadfly" comments so why would anyone read further? If there is no case here why cannot we "decide it on the merits" instead the "venue" or a citizens actual "standing". Obama's side has spent close to a million on legal fees rather than a 50 cent call to the Hawaiian hospital saying "go ahead and show them the file?" I love the guy, but something is wrong here...
  • stephenperry · 5 months ago
    How can you possibly slander a man who makes charges in court backed up by "Wikipedia in Italy?"

    Link to ANY proof that Obama spent ANY sum on legal fees for this nonsense. You birthers just love to make that up -- makes you feel you hurt him or dented his cash reserves. LMAO.

    Courts routinely dispose of litigation at the earliest possible stage. This is encouraged and required in fact. Otherwise not only do you clog the courts with needless litigation, but it is a centuries-old principle of Western common law that judges will not go beyond what is necessary to decide the issue before them. Anything they say beyond the holding in a given case is merely dicta, so they do not overreach, for fear of putting out bad law on an issue that their own case did not call on them to resolve.

    In other words, SINCE there is no case there is no need for any resolution "on the merits."

    Problem with that is that res judicata (claim preclusion) does not attach to decisions that do not go to the merits. That is why a California judge is finally going to allow the birthers to present their case and have it resolved on the merits. Birthers will have the burden of proof but they have no evidence ("Wikipedia in Italy" is not admissible evidence, neither is an affidavit with no signature, neither is the opinion of a web site administrator, neither is a toaster oven). So birthers will lose and no other birther cases can be filed, once that happens.

    Hope this cleared up your confusion. Doubt that it will stop you from posting nutjob racist conspiracy theories though.

    You have obviously mistaken me for someone else.

    I don't recall mentioning any racist conspiracy theories. As a matter of fact, I expressly recall debunking any conspiracy theory.

    What's the Conspiracy supposed to be ?

    My current theory is that Barack is probably born in Hawaii, but there is something embarassing on his birth certificate, hence he refuses to release it. What could that something be ?

    Blood typing between mother/father and baby doesn't match. Barack looks NOTHING like Barack senior, but he looks a whole hellava lot like Frank Marshall Davis, who was a close friend of the Family.

    Blood typing could include/exclude who his father is.

    That's ONE theory. Is that a conspiracy ? By who ?

    Barack doesn't want to be embarrassed, so he only releases what he wants people to know.
  • stephenperry · 5 months ago
    No, I didn't mistake you for anyone. You're a birther. Hence you get to wear the necklace that says "I support racist nutjob conspiracy theories."

  • Diogenes · 5 months ago
    Two different wars dude. Fought YEARS apart.

    Another theory is that he was Born aboard ship en route back from Kenya. A ship board birth would qualify him for American Citizenship, but not "Natural Born Citizen" status, which is distinctly not the same thing.

    Another theory is that he was born in Kenya, (The kenyan's certainly seem to think this is true.) and his family finessed the forms to make it appear that he was born in Hawaii.

    Another theory is that He was actually BORN in Hawaii, and that there is nothing embarrassing on his long form Birth Certificate.

    So far, I've seen no absolute proof that any of these theories are wrong, and i'm right back to where i've started.

    I don't know the truth.

    Don't you think it's odd that a white woman has a mixed race child in 1961 and not a single member of the Hospital staff has come forward to say they witnessed the birth of our new president ? Hawaii is VERY pro Obama. The people there would likely be VERY proud to admit they were at the Birth of our Historical President.

    But really, stick with mangled English. We libtards overlook that more readily than we do mangled french.
  • roooth · 5 months ago
    There's something about a truly sensitive man.....none of which applies to you.

    A woman died a horrible, gruesome, painful death. Cancer is never easy. Those of us who have watched loved ones eaten away by this disease know this.

    I don't care if you're sub-human, which you have amply shown yourself to be, but enough already.

    You are a racist.

    You want to know how I know you are a racist? And yes, you are very definately a racist. It's because you have absolutely no compunction about dehumanizing another person. You are completely willing, even eager, to reduce someone's mother to nothing more than the basest, most degrading, animalistic level possible.

    That's always the first step for a racist; dehumainze those you would victimize. Gotta remove any vestige of empathy - short work for you, I'm sure.

    So how about you quit trying to be coy. Forget the occassional post pretending to just an intellectual question of eligibility, you don't really mean it. Forget the protestations of feigned outrage at being called out for what you are, you aren't really offended by it.

    You don't really give a flying rat's ass about the birth certificate or the issue of 'natural born' citizen. Those could be addressed without attacking a woman who died a slow, torturous death in front of her children.

    You want, no, you NEED to degrade her. You need to make her less, so that you can feel justified in your hatred. That's why you need to post pictures you hope will bring her down to your level. And when that doesn't work, you start throwing in insults about her sexuality, something you know nothing about, in hopes of getting a reaction to that.

    It's all about dehumanizing the "other", making them appear to be less than you, because you believe they are less than you, you need them to be brought down.

    Because Obama is half-black, you have to hate his mother for sleeping with men of color, for sullying the pure white gene pool - that's why you have to make such a big deal of her sexuality.

    Because she did that, we have a half black president. That's why you have to attack her. You are a racist.

    Obama's mother, on the other hand, was apparently a pretty good woman. The proof of course, is that her children, especially her son, would never lower themselves to the public behavior you have relished in all afternoon, and which you have apparently spent quite a bit of time at beyond this thread.

    You are a racist.

    Go back to your dirty pictures, nobody here cares about them except for you and the other racists pretending this has anything to do with Hawaiian birth records.

    We must all remember that anything posted on FactCheck or other websites HAVE NO WEIGHT IN LAW. NONE. Obots/forgers are defending a likely forgery that "exists" only in cyberspace.

    It has often been said that there are only two types of nations, one of law or one of men. A nation of law expects the same from everyone; rich and poor, powerful and weak. A nation of men expects nothing but craven self interest and the elite thrives on the friction caused by it.

    Obummer, leftists (and obots of course) desire a nation of men because they embrace the base emotions of mankind instead of the self discipline required for a nation of law.

    Origional post at http://logistory.blogspot.com/
  • stephenperry · 5 months ago
    While no one contends that a document posted online at factcheck or elsewhere is legally admissible, every rational person admits that the hard copy of the document itself (which was used to make the factcheck online version) is admissible. Moreover, the hard copy of the COLB that was posted online is not only admissible evidence, it is conclusive evidence of every fact it states.

    This is too easy. Where are the seasoned birthers who have played this game before?
  • JayCee · 5 months ago
    Sure, the hard copy of the COLB is admissible as evidence. But I'd be less suspicious of it being "conclusive evidence" if it were actually ADMITTED as evidence in court. Why has that never happened? What exactly is that document's chain of custody, anyway? How did Daily Kos and Factcheck get it, for example? Where is it now?

    Y'know what else would be conclusive evidence? A certified copy of the original long-form birth certificate! Oh sorry, it was discarded when Hawaii went paperless. Or, wait, no, it was witnessed as genuine by Hawaii's Director of Health and sealed by order of the Governor. Which is it? I would find CONSISTENT "official statements" more convincing.
  • roooth · 5 months ago
    Yes, if there's one thing the birthers have displayed, it's the self discipline required for a nation of law.

    In fact, next to their grasp of logic, Consitutional issues and basic literacy, the self discipline required for a nation of law has to be one of the Birthers' top defining characteristics.

    Not.

    It would appear that all of you are not mentioning the fact that Mrs. Clinton and Barack Obama
    did attempt to change the constitutional laws when they were trying to prove that McCain was
    elegible to be president. There was something strange about that effort because no one questioned McCain's eligibilty for president. But Barack Obama is still not a natural born citizen of the United States because he does not have two parents who are citizens of the United States. His father was born in Kenya when it belonged to England and he was a citizen of England. I am not against Obama's race. He is half arab and half American. Personally I like him and I like a
    lot of other races of people to. We need different races to extend humanity's lifespan on this Earth.
  • stephenperry · 5 months ago
    Of course people questioned McCain's right to be President. That is why a special Act of Congress (to which Obama had zero objection, just as McCain has and had zero objection to Obama's eligibility [distinct from qualification] to be President) had to be passed just to resolve the controversy surrounding McCain's birth in the Panama Canal.

    Article II of the Constitution requires that he be a "natural born citizen". The framers wrote extensively that a president must have allegiance from birth SOLELY to the US. Read what the writers of the Constitution said: google John Jay, Sen John Bingham, Sen. Lyman Trumbull- learn the meaning of "natural born." The term requires a president to be born of TWO US CITIZEN parents.

    BO was born a British Kenyan through his father and then adopted Indonesian by his stepfather. He cannot ever be a "natural born citizen" and many lawsuits are in progress to prove it.

    Please be sure to keep us posted on the progress of these "many lawsuits" you're referring to.

    Jon Stewart has limited time and thus doesn't always remember to update us on Orly Taitz and her band of disbarred and sanctioned functionally illiterate misfits.

    Can we count on you?

    Probably shouldn't count on you, since you think both parents have to be U.S. citizens for a baby to be a natural born citizen.

    If a Mexican woman named Luisa Sanchez gives birth a millimeter over the border, what will she name her baby boy? I don't know, but he'll be on a voter roll somewhere in 18 years, voting Democrat straight down the ticket, so check there and find out. In fact check back again 17 years later, when that 35 year old American-born son of two Mexican parents will be eligible to be U.S. President. He's natural born.

    And he's as American as you or me. Well, you're not much of an American. But the point remains.

  • marcyaz · 5 months ago
    May I suggest you read the Constitution before making foolish comment. Article II specifically includes the wording "a natural born citizen or a citizen of the United States at the time of the adoption of this Constitution..." Obviously, those who were citizens at that moment are long dead. The writers specifically exempted themselves since otherwise, there would not be a "natural born citizen" for 35 years.
  • stephenperry · 5 months ago
    What was that you were saying about a "foolish comment?" So you obviously don't apply the same standards to yourself.

    Much has been written about what it takes to be a natural born citizen. You cite none of it and have obviously read none of it.

    Tell us, how is it that YOU can read the Constitution and pick out something that McCain's lawyers, Bush's Justice Dept., Hillary's PUMA's, Republican Senators, Republican House Members, and right-wing talk show / talk radio hosts missed?

    NONE of those people was saying Obama isn't natural-born during the election. ALL of them knew that the official story is that Obama was born in Hawaii to an American mom and a Kenyan father.

    Your explanation for this? You're smarter than all those people put together.

    If only there was a second possible explanation... Can't think of it. Little help?
  • marcyaz · 5 months ago
    Natural-Born is Nationality from Natural Law. It is determined by the father at birth, from which all rights of birth and inheritance flow. Barack Obama's father was a Kenyan British colonial. Read Vatttel's Law of Nations.

    Natural-Born Citizen, A person born within the jurisdiction of a national government.
    Black's Law Dictionary, 17th Ed. (1999)

    Naturalized-Citizen, A foreign born [or born of foreign parentage] who attains citizenship by law. Black's, 17th Ed (1999)

    The legislative definition of "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" was defined as "not owing allegiance to any other." In 1866, Sec. 1992 of U.S. Revised Statutes read: “All persons born in the United States and NOT SUBJECT to any foreign power, excluding Indians not taxed, are declared to be citizens of the United States.”

    Rep. Bingham, commenting on Section 1992, said it means “every human being born within the jurisdiction of the United States of parentS (plural) NOT OWING allegiance to any foreign sovereignty is, in the language of your Constitution itself, a natural born citizen”.


    Senator Lyman Trumbull, Chairman of the Judiciary Committee when the 14th Amendment was written said,
    "... 'all persons born in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens'... that means 'subject to the complete jurisdiction thereof'.' What do we mean by 'complete jurisdiction thereof'? NOT OWING allegiance to anybody else. That is what it means."



    Emerich de Vattel was a historic writer on the law, from whom the framers drew their understanding. Following is from his Law of Nations.



    § 212. Citizens and natives.

    The citizens are the members of the civil society; bound to this society by certain duties, and subject to its authority, they equally participate in its advantages. The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of PARENTS who are citizens. As the society cannot exist and perpetuate itself otherwise than by the children of the citizens, those children naturally follow the condition of their fathers, and succeed to all their rights. (NOTE THE PLURAL- TWO PARENTS who are citizens.)



    Statutes covering foreign birth, or birth to a foreigner, are Naturalization laws as they provide for the revocation of that alien nationality. Statutes cannot create or redefine Natural-Born, an immutable condition occurring from two U.S. citizen parents. http://paralegalnm.wordpress.com/2009/02/27/bar...
  • roooth · 5 months ago
    BO was born a British Kenyan through his father - No, he's an American citizen, born in America to an American mother - and you have no proof of anything different.

    and then adopted Indonesian by his stepfather. - You have no proof of that - but even if he had been adopted, he would still be a natural born Amerian citizen. 1952 law, look it up

    He cannot ever be a "natural born citizen" and many lawsuits are in progress to prove it. He is a "natural born citizen" and no courts will get any farther than a rudimentery examination of the facts before throwing any of these bullshit cases out because they have no merit to anyone other than birther nuts.

    He is our president, Thank God. Get over it.
  • marcyaz · 5 months ago
    His supportive websites, Factcheck and Fightthesmears have for the past year posted the following statement, his own admission to his foreign citizenship from birth, which by the writers of the Constitution prevents his ever being a "natural born citizen." His own books agree he was later adopted by Soetoro, an Indonesian Muslim, whom his mother married and his name through childhood was Barry Soetoro. For goodness sakes, learn some of the facts before sounding off..


    “When Barack Obama Jr. was born on Aug. 4,1961, in Honolulu, Kenya was a British colony, still part of the United Kingdom’s dwindling empire. As a Kenyan native, Barack Obama Sr. was a British subject whose citizenship status was governed by The British Nationality Act of 1948. That same act governed the status of Obama Sr.‘s children.

    Since Sen. Obama has neither renounced his U.S. citizenship nor sworn an oath of allegiance to Kenya, his Kenyan citizenship automatically expired on Aug. 4,1982.”

    The birthers in wanting Obama to satisfy their weird requests, which are a bottomless barrel of demands that could never be satisfied, remind me of the Salem witch trials -- a young woman or often a teen suspected of being a witch would be held under water; if she drowned she was innocent, but dead; if she came up for air that proved she was a witch so she was then stoned to death. If Obama ignores them, he's guilty; if he answers them it starts them on an even bigger feeding frenzy with new demands.

    Marge is suspected of being a witch in Salem-era Springfield. Chief Wiggum and the cops have her at the edge of a cliff...

    Marge: "Aren't I entitled to due process?"

    Chief Wiggum: "Sure you are. Lemme tell ya how the process works. We push you off the cliff... No no, hear me out. We push you off the cliff. If you're innocent, you will fall to an honorable Christian death. But if you're the bride of Satan, you will surely fly your broom to safety, at which point you are to report back here for torture and beheading."

    You, on the other hand, know zip diddly squat about American history, American politics, or what it means to be a human being.

    I'll be happy to keep reading and learning. Something else that separates me from you.

    What kind of piece of shit loser picks on a woman who died a slow, painful death from cancer? Oh yeah, a racist prick who can't stand the President's skin color and who throws shit out there without even standing behind it ("I'm not alleging that any of this is true...").

    Wow, I can just keep reposting this ALL day birthers.

    By the way, apologies, Dave, for my many duplicate comments, however, birthers are rather slow and challenged and seem to need things repeated over and over and over and over before they even begin to understand, as you clearly already know! ;-)

    Birthers...I want to thank you.

    A heartfelt thank for your tremendous, ongoing efforts to make republicans look like a bunch of know-nothing, racist nutcases. Thank you for your unwavering devotion to this idiotic issue despite the mountain of contradictory facts thrown in your face every day. Thank you for attacking the moderates and thinking, rational people in your party, and for driving them to run away from your party, screaming in horror, at lightning speed. Thank you for being so completely delusional that you refuse to acknowledge that President Obama is sitting in the White House running the United States. Thank you for ignoring all the real issues going on in the USA right now. Thank you.

    Please do keep all this insanity going until we have successfully passed health care reform, the energy bill, education reform, and have successfully brought a case challenging bans on gay marriage to the Supreme Court. Please stay the course. It may be difficult, but you can do it! Please keep this up at least through 2010. We really appreciate you embarrassing and alienating decent republican candidates and voters, inserting a huge wedge in your party, keeping your money and focus on this issue while ignoring the mid-term elections altogether. Thank you. Thank you.

    We plan to do so much in the coming months, and then we plan to gain more House and Senate seats and expand our complete control of the entire government in 2010! Your help in this endeavor is very much appreciated.

    Thank you birthers, thank you.

    Maybe you all really ARE true patriots after all?
    Thank you for helping us take the country back.

    Please find a republican candidate's town hall meeting near you and raise this issue LOUDLY. I suggest then leading a rousing rendition of the Battle Hymn of the Republic when you do not get the answer you want!

    Thank you.

    McCain Lawyers Investigated Obama Citizenship: Proof Supporting US-Hawaiian Citizenship


    As we asked earlier this week, if questions over President Obama's citizenship were valid, wouldn't they have come out during the presidential campaign?

    David Weigel talked with Trevor Potter and other lawyers for Sen. John McCain's presidential campaign who said that they did look into the Obama citizenship rumors and found them without merit.

    Said Potter: "To the extent that we could, we looked into the [Substantive Side] of these Allegations. We [Never] saw Any Evidence that then-Senator Obama had been Born outside of the United States.

    We saw rumors, but nothing that could be sourced to evidence.

    There were No Statements and No Documents that suggested he was Born Somewhere else.

    Big Note: On the other side, there was PROOF that he was Born in [Hawaii].

    There was a Certificate Issued by the State's Department of Health, and the Responsible Official in the State saying that he had Personally seen the Original Certificate.

    There was a Birth announcement in the Honolulu Advertiser, which would be Very Difficult to Invent or Plant 47 Years in Advance."
  • Diogenes · 5 months ago
    Again, how could they personally SEE a birth certificate if they are now claiming to have DESTROYED all of the Birth certificates back in 2001 ? Huh ?

    If one or the Other Hawaiian officials aren't lying, somebody explain how they could all be telling the truth.

    Oh, and nobody 'Planted" the birth announcement. It is created routinely whenever someone files a birth notification with the Health Department in Hawaii at that time.

    See, No conspiracy !

  • stephenperry · 5 months ago
    "The problem with this? Parents and relatives don’t, and didn’t, get to place birth announcements in the Honolulu Advertiser or the Honolulu Star-Bulletin. As a Star-Bulletin employee explained to WorldNetDaily, the editors “print what we receive from the Department of Health Vital Statistics System,” and did so in 1961. And the Advertiser worked the same way." --David Weigel, from 7/24/09 article entitled "Mythbusting the Honolulu Newspaper Birth Announcement"

    What else ya got, Diogenes? Was Obama found sitting in a coffee shop on Paris's Left Bank as a teen? Does that make him a leftist?
  • Diogenes · 5 months ago
    The thread has become too convoluted. You people have fun.


    Update Nov. 1: The Associated Press quoted Chiyome Fukino as saying that both she and the registrar of vital statistics, Alvin Onaka, have personally verified that the health department holds Obama's original birth certificate.

    How could they if the documents were destroyed in 2001 ?

    You people figure it out. It is obviously not a dichotomy to you.
  • stephenperry · 5 months ago
    When did it become "too convoluted," Dio?

    Was it when you kept posting racist masturbatory material?

    Or was it when you said:

    "dude, I know this is complicated. I'm mentioning MULTIPLE theories which I have heard. More than one you know.

    I'm not alleging ANY of them are correct. I am alleging that I haven't seen proof that any of them are right or wrong.

    We can't weed out the bad ones until we find something that proves them false. "

    Because, to me, see, THAT's pretty convoluted. And it proves that your fingers still stink from pulling shit out of your own ass. Oh wait, you pulled it out of the asses of random strangers.

    Get an HIV test. Lots of nasties in fecal matter.
  • CalSailor · 5 months ago
    I think the answer to birthers is simple: Show me Barack Obama's non existent Kenyan birth certificate. (Since there isn't one, that should take some doing.)

    Any one who disputes Obama's birth, and is unwilling to accept the clear evidence is simply angry because we have a black man. Folks, this is called R A C I S M! Racists are those who simply ascribe to one's skin color positions of importance (if it is theirs) or disadvantage (if it is different.)

    Those of you who think Obama is not an American...too bad. You lost. Now, shut up!
  • stephenperry · 5 months ago
    How do you manage to brush your teeth without help?

    The paper copy was destroyed after it was scanned into their document retention system. The online version still exists but cannot be shown, just as every other original birth certificate in Hawaii cannot be shown. It's the state law. Tenth Amendment, which GOP'ers love to hide behind when it suits them.

    How do you enjoy being pwned by a dozen people?
  • patisok · 5 months ago
    *In 2001 - the state of Hawaii Health Department went paperless.*Paper documents were discarded*The official record of Obama's birth is now an official ELECTRONIC record Janice Okubo, spokeswoman for the Health Department told the Honolulu Star Bulletin, "At that time, all information for births from 1908 (on) was put into electronic files for consistent reporting," she said.

    They were scanned. Moron. Almost all states do that now. Look it up. It is not hard to understand.

    I do not understand why people are arguing with these birthers. It doesn't take reading very many comments to understand that these people are mentally unstable. Why would you argue with someone who is unstable? You can't explain it to where they would comprehend it as reality. They have their own version of reality. It's sad, but you can't change it unless you can convince them to see a doctor and get on medication. This birther issue is their chosen obsession, a manifested reality they can accept over their true reality. Most of them are harmless, just ranting to relieve themselves of fear and confusion. I say let them be, but any politicans who encourages their silly accusations should be publicly shamed.
  • stephenperry · 5 months ago
    Good question, Debra. I and the people I've talked to on this thread for a few days do it for two reasons.

    First, to present reality in bold, stark relief for the people who don't pay attention to politics and just live their daily lives. They might read a headline, skim the article, and look at the comments to see if there's anything to this issue. We want them to understand IMMEDIATELY that there's not.

    Second, birthers are the last group that it is politically-correct to bash. You can't pick on smokers or fat people anymore.

    But birthers all come in here with two obvious lies around their necks.

    1 - they have access to the same internet we do but apparently they never look beyond World Net Daily and some chain emails their friends at Young Republicans send them; and

    2 - although they can parse fine distinctions in a black child's birth certificate/certification/COLB/long form/raised seal/borders from 2008, they are genetically incapable of understanding rudimentary logic or deciphering any applicable law. That goes double for understanding the US Constitution or its implementing legislation.

    So they're lying through their teeth. And there's only one reason. The President is black.

    So, long story short, it's fun to mock racists who would rather see your country thrown into chaos than accept that a black man legitimately won 7.8 million more votes than a white man.

    Hope that helps.

  • No Ignorance · 5 months ago
    It's just laughable how many racists who call themselves birthers waste precious time and energy trying to prove president obama is not a U.S. citizen. Just like the reporter and other sane people on here have said, these bogus claims are irrelevant. The supreme court shot those bogus accusations down like a bad habit. Republicans dont want change, they want to continue to live their lavish lifestyles and to be the only ones to have a say so. They want to come up with any lie or off the wall story to try and get this man out of office because of his race and because he wants to try and level the playing field. Some dont even care whats your race, if you're a low or middle class citizen then they look at you as being different or an alien. The bozos are trying to get obama out of office before his plan even has time to materialize. They critisize everything obama does, even if he tries to prove everything they want they'll come with something else. I would'nt even waste time trying to prove to someone that doesn't want me in office my citizenship or anything else. Lets be real about it, does anyone really believe he would be the president if there was any real substance to these claims. If he came on national T.V. and had his birth certificate posted on his forehead, it still would not be enough. Next they would want to see his room number or talk to the doctor that circumsized him. He could do everything right and these clowns still would'nt be satisfied, a republican is only allowed to be human and make mistakes trying in their eyes. He's is not going to be able to do everything he said and wants to do 100%, no human being can. Six months or maybe even a year cant repair 8 years worth of damage. These spoiled rep. want to have everything their way or no way, no one is trying to take your riches, other people just wanna enjoy life just like you all do. I just cant stand racism and would like to see president obama get a fair chance and time to turn this economy around without being judged and lied on. Because he is black and wants equality doesn't make him the enemy. Since so many want to see him fail, just remember if he fails we all fail. We've had many presidents we did not like but we supported simply for the fact that it makes sense, if we could deal with George "weapons of mass destruction " bush for eight years then you could put your stupid opinions and racism aside for 4 to 8 years. Even if you decide you cant accept it, oh well. Get over yourselves!!!

  • marymaggie · 5 months ago
    It is all pure racism at the least. The real bottom line is the logic that the birth announcement was in the newspaper the day of his birth. Was that put there because someone KNEW he was going to be President and it was cooked up?

    C'mon people. Get a life. If you do not believe it fly to Honolulu and go view the Birth Certificate yourself and then be proud you have such an extraordinary brilliant and eloquent gentleman for president. Why didn't you make a big issue of Bush really being elected the President when it never happened? He was voted by the Supreme Court, not the popular people. That was a greater mistake.

  • Buddy2009 · 5 months ago
    NOTE: Items reference Resolution 511 (Mc Cains Eligibility for POTUS), Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, April 2, 2008 (quotes in part); Chairman Leahy asks Sec. Chertoff, Dept. of Homeland Security, “Do you have any doubt in your mind -I mean, I have none in mine. Do you have any doubt in your mind that he is constitutionally eligible to become President?” (This is in reference to a vetting of Sen. John Mc Cain’s eligibility.) Secretary Chertoff replies, “ My assumption and my understanding is that if you are born of American parents, you are naturally a natural born American citizen.” (note; parents is plural) Chairman Lehey, “That is mine too. Thank you.”

    Now, I do not know why someone did not raise this same question regarding Barrack Obama Jr.’s eligibility, but some democrat contested John Mc Cains eligibility because he was born in the Panama Canal Zone. The above back and forth in the Senate Judiciary Committee proves that they had an understanding of the US Constitutional requirement that for one to be eligible to be POTUS, one has to a Natural Born Citizen and the definition thereof. While the location of Obama Jr.’s place of birth is still in question, it appears as fact his father was not a U.S. citizen, and apparently therefore is not eligible to be PONTUS. Why was Obama, Jr. not thoroughly vetted? Why does he refuse to release the vault documents? Not important? It could be embarrassing, as stated by Obama, Jr.'s attorneys? He sure as hell did not do this on his own. Perhaps it is alright to apply a certain standard to Sen. McCain and a different standard to Obama, Jr.? And of course, the US Constitution is a living document so we can pick and choose its application of law depending upon one's views or lawyer it up. (My Opinion).

  • roooth · 5 months ago
    ARGGGGGHHHHH!!!! Just when I thought I was out, they keep sucking me back in!

    Buddy, this is NOT true: "While the location of Obama Jr.’s place of birth is still in question".

    That is not to say there are not people who are not sure of the answer, but there are also people who are still not sure of the shape of the earth and there are apparently quite a few who think a talking snake was intrumental in the inception of human life on this planet.

    If you are one of those, then maybe you have some questions about Obama's birth, but that's a Buddy issue, not an Obama one.

    Secondly, " it appears as fact his father was not a U.S. citizen, and apparently therefore is not eligible to be PONTUS" I'm going to assume you meant POTUS. Whatever, apparently you have been misinformed - Obama's father's citizenship has no impact on the fact that Obama is a natural born American - born on American soil, duly recorded, announced, witnessed, etc.

    What are you basing this question on: "Why does he refuse to release the vault documents"? How is it you do not know that all docs have already been released and verified?

    And, finally, why are you assuming there was no vetting? Seriously, dude, get a fucking grip. When faced with this huge potential conspiracy, your reaction isn't to question the validity of the charges, your reaction is to wonder why nobody noticed it until a few right-wingers uncovered it? Really?

    So, you believe that nobody knows for sure where he was born but he still managed to get onto state and national ballots without anyone noticing?

    And, you believe the State of Hawaii knows this and isn't telling?

    And, even though it has always been known that his dad was Kenyan, you believe that should have excluded him from running and NOBODY said anything?

    You also believe that the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, a conservative appointed by Bush, the most expert expert on the Constitution that we have in this entire country, knew his dad was Kenyan and that therefore Obama should have been, according to you, ineligible, and he still swore him in as President - TWICE???

    Just how far down the rabbit hole do you want to go with this?
  • Buddy2009 · 5 months ago
    I'm going by the definition that the Senate Judicial Committee used and as that understood by the Federalist Papers. And you are using what definition, the one you thought up or what? Again, one can be a citizen but not a natural born citizen. Are you one who would use a lesser standard for Obama, Jr. than McCain had to comply with?
    Hawaii says they can not legally release the info. and Obama, Jr. has issued a Presidental Order, such documents can not be released without his permission.
    If you can support your statements without resorting to insults and "you're a racist" as others do, I'm willing to listen.
  • chameleon · 5 months ago
    Again, Buddy, go read the code of law from which the Senate took their definition. That's only ONE of the definitions for natural born citizen under the law. In point of fact, it was not a Democrat who raised the issue of McCain's eligibility. It was the same scumbags that tried to make an issue of his adopted child in the 2000 elections. Also in point of fact, according to the law at the time of Sen. McCain's birth, he did not acquire U.S. citizenship at birth. Barack Obama was born in the United States, on U.S. soil. That makes him a natural born U.S. citizen. Period. End of story.
  • CalSailor · 5 months ago
    Then, according to your opinion, every child born of a US citizen single mother, where father's name is not listed cannot be a natural born US citizen??? This is absurd. Or, it is the greatest argument for marriage: The only way you can become president is for your parents to be married when you were born? And just how might you ensure this, so that 40 years or so later, you could make sure you could be president? "No children of single parents need apply."

    Grow up.

That means they took all the information from those old dusty paper documents and they put that information inside something we call a computer (NOTE: You are using a computer RIGHT NOW! *GASP*). Then, they got rid of all those dusty old paper documents, because the very same information that was on those paper documents is now inside the thing we call a computer (again, you are using one RIGHT NOW). Now, when anyone requests a copy of their birth certificate, Hawaiian officials print out a document (the one Obama has) that contains the birth information stored inside the thing we call a computer (again, you are using one right now). That information IS the same information that was on those old dusty paper documents which Hawaii tossed away once they went PAPERLESS (paperLESS, meaning, NO more paper, paper free).

    Even if he spent $20 million it was a great investment. Cheaper than running a 30-second national ad. Yet, he gets free publicity over and over and over, showing that his political opponents are freaks who wear birth certificates around their necks, or racists who send stupid cartoons by chain-email, or philanderers who only see fit to pay off two of their mistress's THREE kids.

    Where can I donate? Does a donation to Obama's campaign go directly to funding these birther outbursts? Because I want to make sure my dollar goes straight into the pocket of the Ziplock Bag Lady's apparel provider, Xenophobic Racist Whackjob, Inc., in a joint venture partnership with K Swiss.

  • chameleon · 5 months ago
    Seriously. You sound intelligent enough to actually read the truth. You do know that the Constitution doesn't define natural born citizen, since you quote the Senate Judicial Committee. You'll find the actual law that defines natural born citizens in the U.S. Code of Law, Title 8 Sec 1401. A natural born citizen, under 1961 law, was any child born on U.S. soil of any parentage. OR a child born of two U.S. citizen parents anywhere in the world as long as they met residency requirements. OR any one of several other options. If it were really true that only children born of two U.S. citizens could ever become president, don't you think this would have been settled long long ago? You can educate yourself. Really, you can.
  • Buddy2009 · 5 months ago
    Well; one can be a citizen under place of birth and a parent citizenship considerations (usually the father), but to be a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN, one needs to be a US citizen -and- born of two (2) US citizens (as noted and confirmed in the Senate Judicial Committee meeting) and in the Federalist Papers, whereby it is noted the founders were concerned over the potential for a conflicted or divided loyalty (around pages 16-17, I believe). This requirement is unique to the office of the President, as the position is unique as one of the three legs of the republican form of govt. This requirement is not necessary for elgibility as a senator for instance (need only be a citizen, not a NBC... there is a difference.)

    In regards to the Hawaiian document, it is a Certificate of Live Birth, not a Certified long form birth certificate. Hawaii is saying it saw a long form birth certificate (but won't release it's basis or documentation) Hawaii gave these things out like flyers, perhaps to jive up it's population firgures for distribution of federal funds based on population. Also note on the Hawaiian document, it states Obama, Jr.'s father is "African" and Barrack H. Obama, I. I then go back to the requirement that one must be born of two (2) US Citizens. Obama, Jr. himself states that Obama, Sr. was his father, who was a citizen of Kenya. Do you understand? To me, and the point I'm making is; I don't care at this time where HE was born, he was't born of two (2) citizens, out of HIS own mouth. (My opinion)
  • roooth · 5 months ago
    No, Buddy, no, you do not get to supercede the Constitution by pulling a Senate Judicial Committee meeting and the Federalist papers out of your butt. That might work at Freeper conventions, but it ain't law.

    And, yes Hawaii has provided all the documentation - ALL of it. You really need to get past this bizarre sense of entitlement that just because you say you don't believe it, state and Federal Governments have to stop and reprovide what has already been provided.

    It will not be delivered to your doorstep. They have already done what they were required to do. You and the rest of the birthers are the only ones refusing to acknowledge it.

    But, for points on creativity, I have to give it to you for this piece of balderdash: "Hawaii gave these things out like flyers, perhaps to jive up it's population firgures for distribution of federal funds based on population"

    Props to you, that's maximum crap in one short sentence. Of course, you have proof, right?

    To begin with I am pretty damn smart. I do not worship any man only the LORDJESUS CHRIST.I respect the office and did so under Bush even though I disagreed with most of his policies.



    I suspect the original may have been lost. I know mine was after 65 years when I needed. I had to go to the state for a certified copy which is what Obama has. I know it is hard to grasp for conspiracy theorist who are threaten that a man of mixed race is now President.



    So I know GOPers never makes mistakes or sin as do their counterpart Dems. They are clean fellows and ladies who get to talk to God and even though they commit adultery God forgives them. Even though they are AWOL from their state God forgives them. even though they offer bribes to mistresses family God forgives them. But not those dumb ass Dems. No they sin and God just does not consider forgiving them. And if over the course of 40 some odd years and many moves the birth certificate is lost. Well that is just another dumb ass Dem move. Don't you tin hat guys ever give up. Go listen to Coast to Coast that is the place to discuss tin hat theories.

    Obama could put a quick end to this by producing the correct and legal birth document.......a very simple thing to do.
    But he chooses not to, instead spending a great amount of tax dollars on a legal defense getting the cases thrown out of court. What passes the smell test ? As it stands now it stinks badly--badly that he choses not to produce the birth document, a cheap and simple thing to do. Something an intelligent man would do. Instead, obama hides behind his "official status"

    There are many mysterious things about obama, such as how he has no trail of transcripts, articles, books and papers that would follow one who attended Harvard Law School and Columbia University, and was president of the Harvard Law Review. Nothing here either.

    A president who has admitted communists working in the White House, should worry every American. Thankfully, cracks are beginning to form in his " perfect presidecy" Like Hitler, obama can talk convicingly, and make you believe in him. But wake up soon, because if he continues, America will be destroyed by wreckless spending, weakened national defense, and a weak posture toward rouge nations and the terrorist community.

    The fact he was elected says a lot of how ignorant our population is. As long as America spends more time watching oprah and stupid reality shows, and ignores the social and political reality of our corrupt congress and government, things can only get worse.
  • disbar_the_birfoon_lawyers · 5 months ago
    Did you read the article you are commenting on? Are you high? Mentally challenged in some manner? Obama HAS produced a legal birth document!!! What part of this are you not understanding?? The document Obama produced is "prima facie evidence of the fact of birth in any court of law"--it says so right on the bottom!

    Follow along here if you can. Do you understand that Hawaii went paperless in 2001? Do you understand what that means? That means they took all the information from those old dusty paper documents and they put that information inside something we call a computer (NOTE: You are using a computer RIGHT NOW! *GASP*). Then, they got rid of all those dusty old paper documents, because the very same information that was on those paper documents is now inside the thing we call a computer (again, you are using one RIGHT NOW). Now, when anyone requests a copy of their birth certificate, Hawaiian officials print out a document (the one Obama has) that contains the birth information stored inside the thing we call a computer (again, you are using one right now). That information IS the same information that was on those old dusty paper documents which Hawaii tossed away once they went PAPERLESS (paperLESS, meaning, NO more paper, paper free).

    Birther: He could end this if he would just show his BC

    And this: "But he chooses not to, instead spending a great amount of tax dollars on a legal defense getting the cases thrown out of court."

    First - that's got several flat-out lies in it. #1 he has, #2 what tax dollars?, #3 the cases have been thrown out not because he purchased their dismissal, but because they were without merit, which we know because of #1.

    The fact that you wrote what you wrote shows how ignorant you are.

    His original BC was scanned into computers - and not just his; everybody in the entire state. BECAUSE THAT WAS IN COMPLIANCE WITH STATE LAW. It isn't any more complicated than that. I know you want it to be, because you want to believe the black man is ineligible for the office. Too bad.

    And my BC, which I have had for decades, does not have all the info you birthers are demanding. So, I guess nobody from Michigan better try and be pres., right? Might be some damn Canadian trying to sneak in.

    Obama's grandmother never said she saw him being born. From the link above:

    What you're "referring to is actually an affidavit filed by a street preacher named Ron McRae, who conducted an interview with Sarah Obama, the second wife of President Obama's grandfather, through a translator. (Sarah Obama is not the president's biological grandmother, but he calls her "Granny Sarah.")

    In that interview, Sarah Obama does in fact say at one point that she was there for her grandson's birth. But that was a mistake, a confusion in translation. As soon as a jubilant McRae began to press her for further details about her grandson being born in Kenya, the family realized the mistake and corrected him. And corrected him. And corrected him. (The audio is available for download here http://s16v.com/americasright/8167169.wma)"

    I posted a live link to the audio, as well.

    What ever happened to the many soldiers who refused to fight in Iraq in Bush's illegal war. Did they not go to prison? Just wondering.
  • roooth · 5 months ago
    Old news, but hey, here's some facts for you:

    The soldier started posting months ago on Free Republic and other sites that he was going to do the following:

    1. Volunteer for activisation from Reserve status to Active duty

    2. Volunteer for a tour in Afghanistan.

    3. Refuse to obey orders to deploy because he's a birther, and doesn't like Obama being CIC.

    Keep in mind, he planned to do this months in advance, so he's hardly some poor conscript being forced to go against his wishes.

    He's also apparently a gigantic idiot, because:

    1. He never had to go, he volunteered.

    2. Because he was a reservist who volunteered, he still didn't have to go.

    3. He had the option of changing his mind up till the day before deployment.

    So, his big gesture was a bunch of BS. All it did was cause a lot of other military people a lot of work they shouldn't have had to do. Orders are not generated and cancelled without work. And, of course, now someone else will go to Afghanistan in his place. Nice way to take your fellow soldiers into account. What an ass.

    Nice ironic touch for an ending: the idiot had a day job with the DOD. When he threatened to sue the Army, (which is illegal under the UCMJ, and was just one of his actions for which he could have faced charges), they pulled his security clearence and he lost his day job.

    He better hope his dentist/lawyer can get him some speaking gigs.

    Problem is, christine, that the "birth certificate that is online" is not a birth certificate (or even a Hawaii Certification of Live Birth) but rather a couple of computer graphic images of what is supposed to be such a COLB, allegedly uttered in 2007, and those images show a helluva lot of signs that they're cobbled-together Frankenstein monsters of fraudulence.

    So if there really is a COLB for your Mombasa Messiah - from which those images were purportedly scanned back in June 2008 - where is it? Why hasn't it been brought forth and put into the hands of a panel of competent and impartial forensic documents examiners who are prepared to attest under oath as to its contents and provenance?

    Yes Jack, it is an unfortunate truth that government controlled education has failed. It's failure is causing the loss of a cornerstone of democracy; that being the existance of an informed and discerning electorate. Such an electorate is the only means of limiting the power, and directing the actions of, elected politicians.

    It is logically imperative that responsibility for creating an informed and discerning electorate should NOT be vested in the very group whose power and prerogatives will be diminished if such an electorate becomes a majority. The failure of government controlled education is a generally accepted fact.

    The pertinent question is, who can best represent the interest of the citizens? Who has the desire, the knowledge, the wisdom, and the access to money to correct "the deplorable state of American education"? I do not believe "politicians" is the correct answer.
  • musicmomma3 · 5 months ago
    If the birth certificate issue will make the "birthers" look rather idiotic and foolish, then let the long form Certificate of Live Birth with the time, date, Hospital name, birth weight and infants height in inches, doctors name and signature be shown to the public. Simple as that. Put them all to rest.
    If it is in the Department of Hawaii Vital Records.... Just have it produced by BHO. The form that was submitted is a legal form but, does not have all the vital information which will quell any doubts because it is given for babies who were not born in Hawaii either. Therein lies the problem.
  • Tuci78 · 5 months ago
    Let's say it's June 2008. You work in the Obama campaign and people are making real nuisances of themselves by insisting that your Mombasa Messiah has to provide some sort of proof that back in his gadabout prenatal and childhood days, he actually got born somewhere in these United States.

    Problem is, you know that he was born in Kenya, which in his mind is one of those "57 states" he mentioned in that speech, but which has not yet been admitted to the Union.

    Yeah, he's planning on that, but it's so damned awkward right now....

    Okay, so you scan in a Hawaii state Certification of Live Birth. Hell, you scan in two of 'em, one issued one year, the other stamped and sealed in another year. Then you use Photoshop to put together something that looks wonderfully like a real COLB for your Anointed One. A bit of one scan here, something from the other one there, you paste over this with that, and wipe out each entry to write in what you want it to show, and - presto! - Barry's got a "birth certificate"!

    You then email the JPG to those suck-ups at DailyKos and the J-school jerkwads at FactCheck, and....

    Oh, crap. They want to see a real COLB now?

    Lets say its June 2008. You work in the Obama campaign and people are making real asses of themselves by being racist morons and arguing that if Obama is winning he couldn't possibly be legitimate because he isn't a white male.

    Problem is he is an ACTUAL US citizen and kicking the racist reich wing asses all over the place.

    Yeah but facts are just SOOO inconvenient to the lunatic birther fringe.
  • Tuci78 · 5 months ago
    Yes, Barry "is an ACTUAL US citizen" right now.

    But - aw, sorry! - it's pretty certain he isn't a "natural born" citizen of these United States. And therefore he's a federal criminal awaiting indictment, prosecution, conviction, and incarceration.

    They just haven't busted him yet. But we're working on it, Matty, never you fear.
  • Matt Taylor · 5 months ago
    Wow they haven't busted him for crimes he didn't commit? Well gee moron, you've proven that facts and reality were inconsequential to you. I suggest you arm yourself heavily and go running onto the grounds of the White House to take him into custody.

    Given your overwhelming evidence, I'm sure once you announce you are armed and looking for POTUS Obama he will surrender.

All sorts of interesting re-arrangements in the Congress, questions about the validity of legislation your Kenyan Keynesian had falsely signed into law, just oodles of fun.

    Personally, I think they're gonna offer him a "Get Out of Jail Free" card provided he surrenders his U.S. passport and agrees to a plane ride back to Mombasa, but I'd really prefer to see him chucked into the slammer.

    If Obama is, indeed, an American citizen, somewhere in Hawaii there should be the original birth certificate. Let's see it. Why are some people content to accept just a certificate of live birth? Americans now deserve to view the real thing. Also, why aren't the records of every hospital in Hawaii searched for the birthing information? Even though it's been a long time ago, those records likely still exist. Who was the doctor or nurse attending the birth? Are they still living? Also, the state must have the original information of birth. Let's see it. Certainly, this is public record when it comes to verifying citizenship of a presidential candidate. And another thing, birth announcements are usually placed in the newspaper by the hospsital. Obama's was placed by his mother. That's out of the norm. Was Obama really born outside the U.S. and the mother wanted him to be a citizen so she covered herself by placing the ad? How long after the birth did the announcement appear? Lots of questions and lazy reporters who apparently don't want to delve into it.

    "The Department of Hawaiian Home Lands accepts both Certificates of Live Birth and Certifications of Live Birth because they are official government records documenting an individual. Although original birth certificates are preferred for their greater detail, the State Department of Health no longer issues Certificates of Live Birth. When a request is made for a copy of a birth certificate, the DOH issues a Certification of Live Birth.
    When we spoke to a spokeswoman for the Hawaii Department of Health, she said too much was being made of the difference between the so-called "long" and "short" forms.
    "They're just words," said spokeswJanice Okubo. (what was posted on the Internet) is considered a birth certificate from the state of HI"
  • musicmomma3 · 5 months ago
    Neither Queens or Kapiolani hospital in Hawaii has a record for his birth. There has yet to be a doctor or nurse or any staff person to remember the birth. The neighbor who has lived at the same building address given as the residence on the newspaper since 1959 stated that obama's mother never lived there. Surely, she would remember a white woman with her African husband and their newborn son.

  • Tuci78 · 5 months ago
    Well, don't blame the nursing or physician staff at either Queens or Kapiolani for having forgotten the occasion of Barry's birth. After all, in 1961 there were tons of babies being born to teen-aged White girls married to big Black men from Kenya.

    Oh, sorry. On those wonderful fantasy COLB images the Obamaphiles slobber over, it says that Barry's daddy was "African," doesn't it?

    Y'know. "African" like in "Egyptian" or "Berber" or "Afrikaans." Yeah, African.

    Not being a big fan of hard-core democrats or repubs, and not being expert on this matter, sounds like an issue being created by (at best) sore losers from the other political party, or (at worst) racists. My guess is that mainstream republicans would be wise to stay away this crowd. Also seems that dems wouldn't be upset if this crowd stays distracted by this issue for all four years and drags well known conservatives into this noise.
  • Tuci78 · 5 months ago
    I'm not a Republican, and I surely don't want those bastards in power, either.

    But, hey, this "birth certificate" business is a great way to focus attention upon our Kenyan Keynesian in ways he really doesn't want.

    If it's a distraction (to paraquote P.J. O'Rourke), it's like "distracting" a grizzly bear bent upon eating your children.

    I don't doubt that the "mainstream" Red Party thieves and rapists want to stay away from this attack upon their Blue Party colleague. They want to get on with bargaining away the rights and property of the citizenry, just as they've always done. Remember, that "mainstream" you're talking about is the central flow of a goddam sewer.

    But as it keeps up, more and more otherwise hapless, hopeless, "Oh, Christ, we can't do anything to keep this sonofabitch from killing us off!" folks out there will begin to latch onto the idea that the socialists bronzen idol has very definite feet of clay.

    I quote:

    "Barack Obama is the pampered pet of Chicago gangsters. He is good buddies with a murderous African dictator. And his wacko leftist academic background evokes memories of the style of sideways thinking that inspired the death marches in Cambodia.

    "The man burns to have a private army all his own. During the election campaign, he threatened to create a 'domestic security force' as large and well-funded as the entire U.S. military, just the thing to send door-to-door (as the police attempted in the Chicago projects) searching for privately-owned weapons. Sure enough, the very first item to appear on his website www.change.org following the election was a proposal to require 'mandatory community service' — 50 hours a year from junior high school and high school students, 100 hours from those in college — or the individuals in question needn't expect to graduate.

    "Over the years, I've made a lot of predictions that have come true. Remember this one: two years from now, even those who supported Barack Obama most enthusiastically will be feeling a certain nostalgia about George W. Bush and secretly wishing they'd voted for John McCain.
    Yeah, I know, disgusting. But that's the way the world works. Nobody alive today would willingly admit to voting for Adolf Hitler, although the third or fourth worst mass-murderer in history (behind Mao Tse Tung, Joseph Stalin, and, on a per capita basis, Pol Pot) won by a landslide. Once the outrages to come have ended and there are thousands — perhaps even millions — of Obama's crimes to account for, would you want to admit to having voted to make those crimes possible?

    Anybody see what is happening to this country??? He has refused to show any records..Why?
    Obama's unwillingness to allow the American public to see his records at Harvard Law School prevents resolution of a continuing controversy over whether radical Islamic influences promoted his admission and financed his legal education there.
    Harlem lawyer Percy Sutton – whose clients included Malcolm X – explained that Islamic radical Khalid Abdullah Tariq al-Mansour, "one of the world's wealthiest men," asked him to write a letter of recommendation to Harvard Law School for then relatively unknown Barack Obama. Who was that man who paid for his tuition? Probably the Saudi prince as al-Mansour was the adviser to the world's riches man.
    The reason so many try to debunk the controversies surrounding obama is because he has allowed it (don't address the real issues).... part of the Alinsky method he taught. "Keep them guessing" and then attack. Strategies are make conflict, panic , hit them with a hail storm of brutal tactics. Ridicule is the most potent weapon. Keep up the pressure. Keep the opposition off balance . "Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it and polarize it". Go after people not institutions...people hurt faster cut off the support network. And.... Direct, personalized criticism and ridicule.

    In response to "chameleon", earlier post: The writers of the Constitution defined "natural born citizen" clearly as those born of two US citizen parents and "subject to the jurisdiction" of the US. In their writings at the time of the Constitution's formulation, they went on to say that "subject to the jurisdiction" meant "complete jurisdiction" with the person at birth having no allegiance to any other country. They stated it was their intent to allow into the presidency no one with foreign influence. There would be no logical reason for our founders to explain their concern over potential dual citizenship, or potential conflicts of allegiance unless they specified both (2) parents were to be of US Citizenship. Obama, Jr. was not born of two (2) US Citizens, ergo... Obama, Jr. would not be eligible for POTUS. I don't think, certainly hope that can not be lawyed up.

    And as noted; to have the Senate Judicial Committee (Chaired by a democrat) use a standard and/or definition incorrect or wrong (and by both the Chair and the Sec. as noted following) of the term Natural Born Citizen is not plausible for me. However, I will research the source you give. I certainly consider the following a precedent if nothing else, but thank you for the reference to look at.

    NOTE: Items reference Resolution 511 (Mc Cains Eligibility for POTUS), Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, April 2, 2008 (quotes in part); Chairman Leahy asks Sec. Chertoff, Dept. of Homeland Security, “Do you have any doubt in your mind -I mean, I have none in mine. Do you have any doubt in your mind that he is constitutionally eligible to become President?” (This is in reference to a vetting of Sen. John Mc Cain’s eligibility.) Secretary Chertoff replies, “ My assumption and my understanding is that if you are born of American parents, you are naturally a natural born American citizen.” (note; parents is plural) Chairman Lehey, “That is mine too. Thank you.”

    If you are a Christian, you can't be serious about what you've been writing. Being white doesn't make you a Christian. Only your relationship with Jesus does. Yell to the top of your lungs if you want. It doesn't matter, if you haven't asked Jesus to be your lord and savior...and allowed Him to change your heart, you will burn in the Lake of Fire. All of this hate that you spew out doesn't speak of the character of Christ.
    btw...Jesus was Jewish...middleeastern, not white or of any European descent. He didn't look like the painting you've seen. You make me feel like I should point that out to you.

  • annjiea · 5 months ago
    SuperNig6 Now who is the racist? First I am white and my ancestors came over here long after slavery was abolished, and are settled in the North. Second many white men also spilled their blood on the battlefield for the just cause of abolishing slavery. Not every white man owned slaves or agreed with slavery, and not every black man is going to hit you over the head in a dark alley. Stereotypes suck don't they?

    You were never a slave, and I was not raised a privleged little white girl with everything handed to me. I had nothing and was not given a higher education. I am a high school graduate, and self educated after that. Does your black skin entitle you to be racist? You are the asshole. Look at people as individuals.
  • Stephanie · 5 months ago
    I 100% agree with you annijiea - it seems that most people need reminding that white people can be and are racially discriminated against as well, along with every other race. Also, just because a person did not vote for Obama, does not automatically mean that they are racist - I'm not saying that those people are not out there, because unfortunately they are - but the person that did not vote for Obama could very well just disagree with his policies. If a person DID only vote for Obama based on race, then I think that person needs to take a closer look at themselves before calling others racist.
  • peaceinamerican · 5 months ago
    annjiea,

    your comments were well said and very, very true, however, where it gets weird is that you've made the assumption that he is referring to ALL white people. He is obviously angered by the comments of Burl Von Tran and others who are on here talking about white power. He is obviously in a lot of pain and expressing his anger but he is clearly saying all "white assholes" not all white people. He is responding to the hatred. He didn't start it, yet it is his post that you find racist.
  • annjiea · 5 months ago
    I responded to the post I read.  Which was HIS post.  If I were to say I hate all Black Assholes, and does your black skin make your smart I would never get away with that!  It would be assumed that I thought more Blacks were assholes then white. 
     
    To say I hate all assholes, would be a general statement.  Or you could even say I hate all racist. 
     
    But to say that he hates all white assholes is to give the "impression" that he feels whites are disproportionately racist, and this simply is not true.  To not address the fact that racism exist in every race is to be dishonest.  We all deal with assumptions and stereotypes based on our color.  It should not be allowed from any race.  It is time to address ignorant people as ignorant people, regardless of color. 
     
    Yes there are many post on here that I would find offensive if I were a person off color, but his comment was no less offensive to me.  We all need to be more careful about how we speak and calibrate our words much more carefully.

    Another junk article by a so-called journalist who lacks credibility on this subject. Mr. Weigel doesn't apparently know the difference between a CERTIFICATE of Live Birth and a CERTIFICATION of Live Birth. The latter isn't adequate to obtain a passport according to the State Department, let alone prove Constitutional eligibility on its own.

If these people are honest in their beliefs and have followed thru on the process of proving their statements then file your objections and/ or state your mind publicly but be forwarned that a lack of positive proof(conjecture) will indeed be costly to those that file lawsuits without the documented proof that a law has been broken.

    "Ever hear of Photoshop?"

    Oh. Okay. You mean that the actual newspaper doesn't say that, but because of Photoshop, they doctored it? All right.

    That leaves two possibilities.

    Either the Obama co-conspirators also went house to house and business to business, searching everyone on Earth's attic and basement for the odd chance that there was a 40-some-odd year old (depending on when the search was done) Hawaiian 1961 newspaper out there, and burning each one that they found, or,

    Someone out there is in possession of a Hawaiian newspaper from 1961 that could soon be worth millions of dollars to the owner.

    Because even if someone Photoshops what they show you online, there's gotta be an original somewhere. And if you're right, that newspaper won''t show Barack Obama's birth. And that's an awfully big chance to take, if you're Obama. Or Obama's mom. Or any of the dozens of high-ranking people on both sides of the aisle who would have to be in on this conspiracy.

Is there some reason that we can't just like eachother for who/what we are, everybody is different from anybody eles. Just remember that Jesus was born in the arab area and therefor NOT white.

    Under a properly functioning civil government, red, there's no need for us to "just like each other for who/what we are."

    We can just live together in peace, nobody plundering, enslaving, or ramming his ideas down his neighbor's throats by way of government power grown malignantly out of its proper role.

    Once you get it through your head that in a representative republic such as ours, the officers of civil government aren't supposed to play Santa Claus, or to pick winners in the economy, or provide "health care," or even print the damned currency (they're charged with guaranteeing its value - preventing counterfeiting or the equivalent of check-kiting, not "regulating" the value of the dollar to the point that it's not worth the amount of copper that used to be struck into a hundred pennies).

    Government as an institution has limitations in what it can do and in what it should do in order to keep our society from devolving into "state of nature" chaos. The Founders struggled with that problem, and came up with the Constitution.

    Which wasn't perfect, God knows - but it beats the hell out of what we're living under right now.

    You want the solution to this and most of the rest of the messes in which you find yourself?

    Okay. You pitch in with the rest of us and demand that the Constitution - especially those first ten Amendments making up the Bill of Rights - gets enforced.

    Ram it right down Barry's throat. Ram it right down the throats of Nancy and Harry and Chris and Barney. Ram it right up Bernanke's butt, and beat ACORN to death with it.

    Get the Constitution firmly in mind, red, and use it the way Jefferson spoke of it.

    Bind them down from their mischief with the chains of the Constitution.

    tuckus,

    wow -- you have issues. get some help, man.

    how exactly are the constitution and the bill of rights not being enforced?

    please be specific.

    i bet you're one of these geniuses who calls obama a socialist and a fascist at the same time. do you realize how utterly clueless that is?
  • Tuci78 · 5 months ago
    First, fascism is a type of socialism. Kinda like the way chiropractic derives from osteopathy, y'know? Study up on the early 20th Century and you'll see that all the fascists - like all the communists of the 19th Century - started out their political lives in the sewage of the socialist "mainstream."

    And like white blood cells crowding out the visual field in a urine specimen drawn from a patient with a raging bladder infection, the instances and ways in which our present Boot-On-Your-Neck Party "Malevolent Jobholder" coterie violates the Constitution is "too numerous to count" (TNTC).

    The standing joke is that the only amendment of the Bill of Rights they don't violate every day - as a matter of policy - is the Third, and that's only because neither Republicans nor Democrats can figure out any way to squeeze as much graft out of quartering soldiers in people's houses in times of peace as they can from their "contributors" interested in building and maintaining military posts.

    SIYF,

    You may not speak Tuciese. I will translate.

    He said: "I have no proof. I don't need proof. I need to write and then read and re-read things that I think make me sound powerful. Damn it's cold in here. We're out of cheese."
  • peaceinamerican · 5 months ago
    SIYF and Stephenperry,

    I also speak Tuciese.

    He also said: The standing joke is that the only amendment of the Bill of Rights is the one I make up in my head. Damn it's cold in here. Who's got the damn Snuggie?
  • bigred07011961 · 5 months ago
    So " All Men are created equal" means that EVERY living person is EQUAL in evry way?
  • Tuci78 · 5 months ago
    Equal in their rights to life, to liberty, and to property, certainly.

    Not equal in height or age or intelligence or in mass or in blood type or...

    Oh. Were you trying to "make a funny," red?

    "You pitch in with the rest of us and demand that..."

    Oh thank God. I've been waiting for this! Who, pray tell, constitutes "the rest of us?"

    I just know this is going to be worth it. I'm guessing your group has a mission statement, as well. And I'm going to go out on a limb and venture to say the mission statement includes "Tyranny" doesn't it?

    You know what it is? You have this absurd fear of power being exercised upon you in a way you find objectionable. One can almost *sense* you standing rigidly at the first sign of danger, clamping your legs together and squeezing your cheeks tight. I think you were "interfered with" when you were a younger man, perhaps when you were a boy.

    But that's enough of my stalling. On with describing the co-horts you're bringing with you to that Fantasy Island of yours, please!

    Hm? There seems to be a number of other posters on this thread who are interested in using this "birth certificate" issue to (figuratively, stevie, just figuratively!) burn your Mombasa Messiah at the stake.

    Some seem to hate him for his tiny trace of Negro blood (his father was in large part Arab, and only partially of Luo tribal origin; indeed, both "Barack" and "Hussein" are derived from the Arabic, and American Blacks - who descend from chattel slaves - are ironic in their pride in having elected "one of us" when in fact Barry's paternal lineage goes back to peoples who were owners of slaves, dealers in slaves, and made plenty of money selling Black slaves to White purchasers). Some are Republicans who hate him sufficiently for being a popular Democrat.

    I hate him because he's a Keynesian socialist who is destroying the American economy. I'm sure I'll eventually find other reasons, but his determination to "do a Mugabe" on the U.S. dollar is enough to get me pretty sufficiently pissed off.

    But I'm no more alone in my enthusiasm for seeing your Blessed Barry into a narrow little room in Leavenworth than you are in your butt-sucking Obamaphile perversion, stevie.

    And who is it that finds a "fear of power being exercised upon you in a way you find objectionable" to be "absurd," stevie?

    C'mon, stevie! Fess up. You're a masochist, right? Leather and handcuffs and those funny whiffleball gags and Vaseline'd vibrators up your tochus while Cleo the Whip Lady welts your flabby ass?
  • sarcasmisyourfriend · 5 months ago
    bigred,

    that's a good point but, unfortunately, some white 'christians' would shoot you for saying that.
  • bigred07011961 · 5 months ago
    Just shows you why they have to hide under white sheets, if you believe something strong enough don't hide unless you are ashamed of it.
  • sarcasmisyourfriend · 5 months ago

    why has obama spent almost $1,000,000.00 on lawyers and legal fees ?
    just to fight the lawsuits and cases against him.

    why dont he just produce the goods? and put an end to it?
    ya know why? cause he does not have one.
    anyone who spends a million bucks to keep his long form birth certificate hidden. obviously has none.

    funny thing is, i have mine in the file cabnet right next to me. wheres yours obama?
    IS THE INK STILL DRYING ON YOUR FRESH FORGERY?
  • sarcasmisyourfriend · 5 months ago
    hey dummy,

    he did show it. reading is your friend.

    where's your source for that dollar amount or did you pull it out of your a$$?

    have you seen anyone else's birth certificate?

    why do you insist on seeing obama's?

    and i see you didn't answer my earlier questions, so i'll repost them for you here:

    why do you believe the republican governor of hawaii is lying?

    why do you believe other state officials are lying?

    why do you believe hospital officials are lying?

    why do you believe mccain and his staff -- including running mate palin -- are lying?

    why do you not believe the birth certificate you've seen is legitimate?

    why do you believe the lie about a non existent travel ban to pakistan?

    why do you believe this conspiracy nonsense?

    The right-wing "Birthers" are just as whacked as the left-wing 9/11 conspiracy theorists who said George Bush planned or knew about the attacks. There are whacked nutjobs in both political wings.
    There are plenty of legitimate reasons to get bent on what both George Bush and Barak Hussein Obama have done/doing. Congressional leaders have skated by unharmed on these distractions as well. They are more worthy of damning blame then either President. They write the bills. They spend the money. They wrote the laws and regulations that have led to our financial ruin.
    Pelosi, Reid, Dodd, Franks, Spector, Snowe, McCain and their ilk are the real Albatrosses around America's neck.
    Barak Obama is an inexperienced fool. Worse yet, he's a massive narcist that will never admit or recognize his ever apparent inexperience for this job. He foolishly handed the Stimulus bill to Nancy Pelosi to write and Dingy Harry Reid to tweek. That's why it failed. It was an abomination of gifts, theft, and pork. That's why we are broke and have nothing to show for 3 Trillion dollars wasted. Obama will get full credit or blame for the outcome.
    It is Barak Obama and a Democrat controlled congress that have laid the foundation for an insolvent U.S. government. It's far past the time that we start having a National discussion, on the end of the Greenback.
    (for liberals;..."Greenback" is another name or term for the U.S. dollar.)
    At this present time, the U.S. government has debt and promised liabilities approaching 100 TRILLION dollars. ( NOTE *** Don't make Trillion out to be a small number. It's not.) This is unpayable. Our children and grandchildren will be born into crushing debt, which will create massive poverty. For the first time in American history, this generation of Americans and it's government officials, has left a much bleaker future for the next generations. For that reason alone, we citizens, both Republican, Democrat, and Independants, must purge the arrogent slobs from congress. Vote all incumbants out. Demand term limits. Try to correct our collective mistake.
    And then go after the real thieves like Franks, Dodd, Reid, Pelosi, Franklin Raines, Tim Geithner, and all other corrupt officials, with every legal authority available. Strip THEM of their wealth, burn their homes to the ground, confiscate all their foreign holdings, and then jail them for life.
    Bernie Madoff went to prison for a 50 Billion dollar Ponzi scheme. What is Social Security?
    It's a 50 TRILLION dollar Ponzi scheme. Wake up folks.
    Whether we are white, black, asian or hispanic Americans, we all have one thing in common.
    Whether we are politically left, right, or centrist, we all have one thing in common.
    You will find out what your common factor is, when we are all suffering in extreme poverty caused by a collapse of the American dollar. We will all suffer in a collapsed economic system, that ends with a failed "Banana Republic" State. If the projected deficits for Obama's administration are correct, it's GAME OVER.
    Of course, I'm not betting on my fellow citizens to "come together" and fix the problem, I'm simply buying Gold and planning my escape.
    That's real "Change" you can sink your teeth into as you hunt for food.
