Ya gotta invoke Polarik's Principle here:
A forgery created to prove a claim will repudiate that claim."
Once it was established that Obama created a forgery to prove his claim of being a natural-born citizen, that claim no longer had any validity. a Presidential candidate who resorts to creating a forgery to deceive the American public and to help get himself elected, should never be allowed to serve as President, regardless of whether he is, or is not, a natural-born citizen. Look at the Oath of Office a President must recite:
"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."
How can anyone swear or affirm that he will "faithfully" execute the office of President when he is not been faithful to the truth? He is a person who who has proven by his actions that he does not have steadfast and resolute loyalty to the people and to the United States.
He has shown by his actions that he has no intention of preserving, protecting, and defending the Constitution. Has he ever said anything positive about the Constitution? What hje has said is than it is "too restrictive," and that is not a statement of someoe who will preserve and protect our Constitution.
People are not admitted to the military if they cheat on their tests or forge their transcripts. The same rules apply for every high-level job -- if lie on your job application, you will be terminated. It says so on every job application i've ever seen.
Yet, could it be that we are going to look the other way because this is the Chosen One, and rules for everyone else don't apply to him?
I don't know when or how people got it into their heads that the forgery doesn't matter anymore. The heck it does, and if we ever get to see his real birth record, how will Obama explain the discrepancies? He cannot say that he was unaware of it. He's already condoned it by his silence and by refusal to produce a real document, and not a forgery.
There is no legitimate reason for the forgery. None. I'd like for someone to give me an honest and accurate answer as to why this fraudulent act should not influence Obama's claim to the Presidency. The case cannot be made that he won the election, fair and square -- not when it required subterfuge to secure it. Not when it required a suspension of ethics and a disregard of the Constitution to secure it. Not for someone who promised to run a transparent race and administration.
Looking at the AOL poll, you will see that the cast majority of Americans believe that the birth certificate issue has merit. That question is a bit vague. What they should be asking is, "What should happen if Obama's real, original birth certificate proves that Obama intentionally created and posted a forged one instead?"
how many people will check off, "He should be allowed to become President anyway?'
a Presidential candidate who resorts to creating a forgery to deceive the American public and to help get himself elected, should never be allowed to serve as President, regardless of whether he is, or is not, a natural-born citizen.
***Yup. I agree. When I turn it around and look at some conservative that might have submitted such a forgery for the same purpose, I would throw him under the constitutional bus in a nanosecond.
Bravo. Bullseye.
