The right-wing just won't let go of their "Barack Obama is not a U.S. citizen" bit of nonsense. Today the Christiantist site World Net Daily is asking their readers to FedEx letters to the Supreme Court demanding they hold a hearing on the subject. They also want letters sent to Republican members of Congress saying, "Please hold congressional hearings to investigate whether Barack Obama meets the basic constitutional requirements for the highest office of the land."
They are also demanding that the members of the Electoral College prove Obama's citizenship before their December 15th vote that will officially make him president:
-----------------------
A one-time vice presidential candidate who is considered an expert on the U.S. Constitution says it is up the electors from the 50 states to make certain President-elect Barack Obama is a natural-born U.S. citizen before they cast votes for him in the Electoral College Dec. 15. If they do their duty, they would make sure that if they cast a vote for Mr. Obama, that Mr. Obama is a natural-born citizen," Herb Titus, the Constitution Party's running mate to Howard Phillips in 1996, told WND today.

"Permit me to hint, whether it would be wise and seasonable to provide a strong check to the admission of Foreigners into the administration of our national Government; and to declare expressly that the Commander in Chief of the American Army shall not be given to nor devolve on, any but a natural born Citizen.
The Convention agreed and without debate the provision suggested by Jay was written into the Constitution.
That Jays advice was taken is not surprising because in his career Jay was President of the Continental Congress, Chief Justice of the New York Supreme Court, 1st Chief Justice of the United States, Ambassador to Spain and France, Secretary of Foreign Affairs (Secretary of State) and Governor of New York, among other things. He wasnt a man whose advice could be ignored. Note that what particularly concerned Jay was not a political issue but a military issue arising because the President is Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of the United States. He was bothered by issues of National Security."
If you can see a big difference in the private gun ownership policies of Clinton vs. Obama, sure, I'd like to examine your head. You're seeing things the rest of us don't.
If you were referring to Article II of the Constitution, then no, you don't need your head examined for expecting that it be upheld except that it's as stupid rule. It's original intent was liberal creep Thomas Jefferson's desire to prevent the co-founder of American Conservativism, Alexander Hamilton, from becoming President. Jefferson wasn't a "natural born citizen" either, as the United States only came into existence after the ratification of the document.
Meanwhile, had he been elected, John McCain WOULD have been eligible, despite the fact that he, too, was not a natural born citizen under the letter of the law. This was due to a supreme court ruling, and not an amendment to the Constitution. In other words, the original concept was flawed, and the entire process has become outdated.
Barak Obama is clearly not the udeal example of a US citizen, but he's the one we elected.
What is a “Christiantist” and why are the “Christiantists” the only ones concerned with preserving the Constitution? I’d like to sign up. Sounds like more look-mom-i-can-type-on-the-internet liberal blogging to me. Oh well ... no press on the issue is bad press.
I guess that makes him a penist, then.
I’ve recently run across some interesting information concerning the O’s COLB and his BS issue. They are:
1. There are NO hospital records of his mother being admitted to have a baby during the time period of O’s virgin birth.
2. The O wrote in one of his books about his birth certificate decribing it in detail.
3. His almost daily press CONferences.
Number 2 struck me as odd unless you consider he knows there is an issue and he wants to address spin it early in an attempt to get some cover.
And when you notice his recent behaviour of trying to appear as if he is already running the country it may be an attwmpt to pressure to court to not rule against him.
And I hope the SCOTUS is not affected by a bunch of letters in ruling o an issue. Mob rule is very unsightly.
If SCOTUS fails to rule according the constitution there will be only one way remaining to secure our country.
Generally, I respect what you have to say on FR, so I am repeating this statement for you so that you can identify the stupidity of suggesting that HRC is anything but a the lying marxist racist POS.
No, in this case the word "racist" refers to two corrupt politicians who have (in the words of Mark Levin) "not a dime's worth of difference between the two of them politically."
There are only three obvious differences between Clinton and Obama: One got elected, one did not. One's a man, and one is a woman. One is black, one is white. Perhaps you can think of another. I can not. Thus, the only valid reasons for preferring one to the other are either sexism or racism.
Would you care to list some of HRC's qualities that make her preferrable to Obama?
I learned a long time ago, that when someone tells you you’re stupid for asking a question, when they could easily answer it, you should keep asking till you get an answer.
Sometimes they were right, it was a stupid question.
More often than not, though, it wasn’t the question that was stupid; it was the answer they didn’t want to discuss.
If you ask about Obama’s citizenship, and rather than simply answer the question he sends his lawyers to fight you and his propagandists to insult you, you should probably keep asking until you get an answer. Everything about the way he responds tells me he doesn’t want to discuss it, and that tells me there is a reason. His reason may be something other than the reason I suspect, but there is a reason he doesn’t want to discuss it.
Read the whole thread, and tell me if you think you still understand what it is that I’m trying to say.
My point is this: I don’t like Obama, but I hated Clinton, and her character and her politics, and her pantsuits before I had ever even heard of the man. All of a sudden Hillary Clinton is looking better to a lot of people around here, and I’m just sort of scratching my about it. The woman is pure evil.
I would rather Hillary. At least she is a citizen and loves America.
There have been MANY instances -- this is just one.
In some cases - the GOP joins them in their contempt..
Congressional tolerance of ignorant, corrupt and anti-American behavior by their constituents and their tolerance of racist organizations, including the NAACP, Black Congressional Caucus and "Black Liberation Theology"....
Similar organizations focused on White or Asian causes would not be tolerated - and in fact would be prosecuted.
Wow! I have been following your posts eagerly for all these months. Do you use the n____ word too?
Wow! I have been following your posts eagerly for all these months. Do you use the n____ word too?
You have? Don’t recall seeing you much
I didn’t know about #2 on your list! No one would include a desription let alone explanation about his birth certif. in a book! Except for the reasons you correctly conclude. What a freshman highschooler attempt to deceive people at a later date. LOL!
I have nothing against homosexuals, but it cracks me up how angry and juvenile they get when they don’t get their way. The American public keeps sending the message loud and clear that they don’t approve of their unhealthy lifestyle choice, yet the homosexuals keep trying to force it on us and our children.
Andrew Sullivan is a perfect example of how when they are held responsible for their sexual behavior, suddenly it becomes the most important issue in their lives. I remember he was involved in some sex scandal after contracting the AIDS virus and yet he’s never shown a shred of remorse or repentance. That is how single-minded these people are about their sexual obsession.
I prefer “Christianista” myself. Viva the revolution!
Many Democrats are enraged at this COUP & if you visit "Democrats Against Obama" you find the same kind of outrage as here on FR.
At this point it is beyond that. At least She Who Must Be Obeyed, is constitutionally eligible to the office. She's definitely, oh boy is she, older than 35, and we know she's been in the country for 14 years total, she was born in Edgewater hospital, in Chicago, on October 26, 1947.
“Young and naive”, my @$%.
