Mark Levin, yesterday, said the forbidden word. “birth certificate”, on his program. I was so surprised that I nearly drove off the road.

Funny how when WaPoop and NYT lay off people it is not big deal, like 200 editors all at once?

They have shrunk so much that they have to sell off floors of their buildings.

But WMD hits any kind of snag and WaPooP gets giddy.

The Birther stuff has always bothered me because it is MEANINGLESS in most cases. The idea WAS that the vast majority of natural-born Americans absolutely LOVE THIS COUNTRY and therefore are far more likely to look out for its interests than people born in other countries.

But, given what I’ve seen since being in college at ESU, and now what we’re seeing with Democrats (think ‘abolish ICE’ for example, or Hillary), I’m not sure that holds anymore. In fact, I’d trust ANY recent (and legal) immigrant to care more about this country than anyone who votes for today’s Democrats.

That’s why I thought it was a waste of time regarding Obama - to me he is NO WORSE than any other high-profile Democrat - they all HATE THIS COUNTRY...and that’s what we need to deal with, or we’ll be escorted right into the gas chambers by them.

0bama’s so-called birth certificate was proven to be a clumsy forgery by forensic document experts. The Kenyan Usurper was given a pass by both republicans and demonRATS.

Amen! No forensic document examiner that I have seen has ever publicly authenticated Barry’s BC or his bogus CT SS #.

So-called “investigative journalists” are incurious about these glaring problematic issues with Barry.

Hopefully President Trump gets re-elected and can address these issues when it is safer for him to do so.

The BC issue Is not some esoteric argument, it is Constitutionally based. The framers were concerned about foreign subversion, but as you rightly point out, subversion can also arise from within. Few understand the fundamental transformation that ensued from allowing the Great Usurper into the WH for eight years. He is still operating in the shadows propelling the Communist agenda.

FR, Drudge, and WND were my “trifecta” in the late 90’s.

FR is the only one I still visit.

It is not specious. It is obvious: Virtually Soetoro’s first executive action was to seal all of his personal records. The birth document finally released by his crony, the conveniently soon-deceased Fuddy, is obviously a doctored item produced electronically, not an actual copy of a 1961 hard copy.

World Net Daily, under Joseph Farah, was a true pioneer of independent media online. The great propaganda and conspiracy media organs in this country are The New York Times and The Washington Post.

I did not. I learned far more valuable information there than from a self-confessed contrarian like yourself here.

Sure and he can find Judge Crater and D.B. Cooper.

It's not like he has anything more important to do.

Why waste time on yesterday's nonsense?

As always: correct. Thank you.

The mere fact that Nancy Pelosi had both an NBC and non-NBC certification of eligibility prepared is de facto proof that it was the real conspiracy - and that the COP [Controlled Opposition Party] allowed it.

I stopped paying them any attention years ago. Maybe things have changed, but I found their output hyperbolic, over-reaching, and manipulative.

Yeah it’s WaPo but there is some truth behind this particular BS. WND was a good site for news many years ago, but degraded into sensationalism. I quit going there when I realized I was seeing no actual news there other than what was reported elsewhere.

Thanks for posting; I couldn’t remember the details of her part in it.
