Down with the “Birthers”
Cross Action News ^ | 7-29-09 | Jamie Weinstein

Posted on 07/29/2009 8:00:59 AM PDT by Victory111

Conservative commentators, leaders and thinkers have a responsibility to denounce idiocy put forward under the conservative banner. Republicans and conservatives have a real opportunity to take back the country in 2010 and 2012. But they aren’t going to do it by promoting outlandish conspiracies.

Can you back up the claim? Is there a link, or copy anywhere?

“I humbly admit I was wrong and accept Barak Obama is a natural born citizen of the United States of America.

Now let me see the long form of his Birth Certificate so that I can see the error of my previous ways.”

So well stated that I had to repeat your post. That’s the idiocy of the ‘reasoned and seasoned’ opposition to this: It’s a pretty simple matter to resolve.

Release the freaking document so that there can be no doubt as to the fact that he can’t establish where he was born. If he had a long-form BC, he’d have released it by now, same as McCain did.

Do some work for yourself. Don’t be so lazy. I don’t have to see it. I believe Quinn.

THERE WERE BIRTH ANNOUNCEMENTS IN THE PAPERS IN 1961. HE HAS A CERTIFICATE OF LIVE BIRTH FROM HAWAII.

For someone who's been around FR since 1998, you seem to have missed an awful lot on this story.

No one has seen anything but jpeg computer images of the documents you so boldly set forth as proof of Obama's legitimacy.

How did you miss the fact that the Obama campaign published a jpeg of a Hawaiian Certification of Live Birth, NOT a Certificate of Live Birth?

Do you even know what the difference is, and the fact that the Certification document is not sufficient proof of citizenship?

Geeez man, bone up on this subject. You're posting the same argument as the Obots.

A group of dems claiming to be “conservative” doesn't count.
The only time they have NOT voted with the dem party was when the dem party didn't need their vote.
As for their “conservative” credentials:

I tried. I can’t verify this claim. I am not saying it is or isn’t true. Just no evidence that I can find.

Been trying to bone up but can’t find a lot except questions. For egs, supposedly Maya Obama has Hawaiian COLB but born in Indonesia. No copy of her COLB that I can find.

What I have seen is the BO COLB, which is legal proof at this point. So if there is any real tangible evidence I would love to see it.

"...you seem to have missed an awful lot on this story."
It's rather interesting how everyone who claims the whole controversy is nonsense seems to be completely naive on the subject.

Oh, go jump in the lake! FNC is reporting that the Blue Dogs have just reached a deal on Obamacare. What the hell am I going to do now? Go join the dang Green Party, I guess.

Life is crap sometimes.

parsy, who is feeling lost

Obama is the one promoting the conspiracy because he is spending tons of money to hide something. Why? Is this a fun little game or does he just like to blow money for nothing?

“Jamie’s work has appeared in The Weekly Standard, “

"He’s got a girl’s name..."

I've known a lot of guys with the nickname of Jamie. It's common in Texas, where I live.

I guess we'll have to agree to disagree.

You don't see it as a critical Constitutional issue
- I do (i.e., I don't think they are simply questions).
You believe the COLB is sufficient
- I'm one of the many who don't.
You think he's proven his citizenship
- I don't.

“If it doesn't fit, you must acquit”
- I don't buy it.

Basically, I believe you're arriving at conclusions based on unsound information. Unfortunately, our failure to hold fedgov accountable is what got us into this mess.
I think this is a critical place to start.

Cheer up! If you honestly consider yourself a conservative, I don’t think jumping further left (joining the Green party) will help.
As my father in law likes to say, “Not only is life unfair, but the unfairness is distributed unfairly.”
Stiff upper lip and all that! ;o)
