The Rebirth of Birthers?
American Thinker ^ | April 6, 2012 | William Sullivan

Posted on 04/06/2012 1:43:13 AM PDT by Flotsam_Jetsome

Two years, three months, and seven days after his inauguration, Barack Obama finally offered evidence to prove his eligibility for the presidency. On the White House website, officials posted an electronic document purported to be a scan of Barack Obama's long-form birth certificate. It was a grand "I told you so" moment for the media and the left, which had worked feverishly to marginalize "birthers" as the radical counterpart of the zany "truther."

Of course, there was never really any parity. Truthers constructed silly conspiracy theories about George W. Bush being an international super-criminal that orchestrated impossibly complex measures to frame al-Qaeda on 9/11. Birthers, on the other hand, merely demanded that the president, who is required by the Constitution to be a natural born American citizen, show proof of his eligibility. And in reality, that is an entirely reasonable expectation, albeit unprecedented.

Nonetheless, birthers were marginalized as fringe elements, and since the release of the electronic scan of the birth certificate, the concerns of birthers have become even more ignored in the public discourse. As an example of the how the media now views the birther movement, consider that the Huffington Post describes it as a "controversy that has been widely debunked but which remains alive in the eyes of some conservatives."

New evidence, however, has reignited conservative interest in Obama's birth certificate. Conservative icon Sherriff Joe Arpaio of Arizona, at the behest of a petition presented by the Surprise, Arizona Tea Party organization, organized a "cold case posse" and completed a six-month examination of the released birth certificate in order to determine its authenticity. The results are in, Joe says, and they point to the document being a fake.

I wonder if this online image would be sufficient to obtain a passport?

This author is so tepid. Still vaguely worried about being called a birther but finally acquiesces to being called one at the end of the article.

We are WAY past that point. Crimes have been committed and it is ALMOST impossible that Obama is not involved

Some people are still dancing around some stupid label that they are afraid of.

I’m also a bit tired of the “wet blanket” or “Eeyore” posters. Eeyore is generally characterized as a pessimistic, gloomy, and depressed.

This is supposed to be an activist site and Eeyorss don’t win wars.

Sheriff Joe is the law and has taken the lead. Support him.

From my Senator:

January 15, 2009

Dear _____:

Thank you for contacting me about President-Elect Barack Obama's citizenship. I appreciate knowing of your concerns.

The Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution states that "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." Hawaii became a territory of the United States in 1898 and was officially admitted as a State in 1959.

It is my understanding that President-Elect Obama has released an official copy of his birth certificate. Since he was born in 1961 in Hawaii, he is eligible under the Constitution to run for and hold the office of President of the United States. In addition, President-Elect Obama's birth records have been certified and validated by the Hawaii Department of Health as well as by experts from the University of Pennsylvania. The U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear the case and agreed with the lower courts' rulings that the plaintiffs lacked standing to bring the legal challenges questioning President-Elect Obama's citizenship

Again, thank you for contacting me. Should you have any additional questions or comments, please do not hesitate to let me know.

Sincerely,

United States Senator

What ever else is eventually found... posting the obvious forgery was a fraud, and a crime. Obama should be removed from office and prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

"Just watched the entire Corsi presentation to Tea Parties in New Jersey over at WND. Appeared to be a packed house. It was fantastic!"

I just finally finished watching the Corsi presentation also. Great stuff. You don't get a feel for how many people were in attendance until about the 1:43:00 minute mark, when the camera shot pulls back to show more of the room.

For those who haven't seen it yet, it can be found here.

Petitioner – a citizen of the United States and a Registered Write-In Candidate for President of the United States – filed on January 3, 2012, both as ex relator the United States and individually, a quo warranto suit against Barack Hussein Obama, II, challenging his Article II, §1 eligibility to hold the office of President in so much as his Father was not
a United States Citizen. The District Court to date has refused to rule upon that Petition.

Well ... I couldn't have said it better myself.

Obama's record is hard to find.
Think about this.
Here's something to ponder. Now think about those facts,and statements.
The forgeries I'm aware of, are the three Birth Cretificate Barack Hussein Obama II has forged.
I don't trust evidence put forth by Obama supporters.
The disappearance of too much evidence on Obama is strong enough for me to know that he was born in Kenya.

8 Congressional attempts from June 2004 to February 2008 to alter Article II Section 1 Clause 5 of the US Constitution, proves to me that the DNC knew that Obama was born in Kenya.
Read it for yourself.
Then look at these links.
Just before the 2008 election Barack Obama's election team spent $1.4 million blocking access to all of Obama's records.

Barack Hussein Obama II is UNCONSTITUTIONALLY QUALIFIED.
There were 8 attempts by Democrats to try to "Change the Qualification Rules" BEFORE Obama was elected.
They KNOW Obama's ILLEGAL ... AND .... UNQUALIFIED! Read INS DOC FOUND: U.S. CERTIFICATE ISSUED TO ONE EAST AFRICAN-BORN CHILD OF U.S. CITIZEN IN 1961!




In summary as stated by WhiskeyX

Ponder that!

Computers do weird stuff all the time. I'm gratified that someone else thought the piece worth posting also.

". . . And if that makes me a birther, then so be it."

I think that this is why especially since Sheriff Joe's CCP released their initial findings and people (like me) have been telling their friends, neighbors and people they meet about it, that it's gaining momentum. It's not crazy or unreasonable to want to know with clarity just what this guy's story really is.

"Ponder that!"

Thanks for putting that information up again. As far as "food for thought" goes, that's a veritable feast! The fact that Congress waded into the NBC issue so many times in such a short period of time is highly suspect to say the least.

Thank you for the recognition.
All of that information has been linked, and is the work of others.
But I put the links together, keep them on a notepad, and post them when I want people to have a quick reference to them.

I just hope they use these facts, and pass them along to others.

You deserve a huge amount of respect for collating such a treasure trove all in one piece. BTW, I went back and read this post of yours. You're right, it was a very lengthy read along with the article that was the subject of that thread in the first place. I read it all.

We're in very deep doo doo.

One last observation before I stop over-pinging to my own thread: The sample Certificate of Citizenship would appear to be half typed, half handwritten, would it not?

Just sayin'.

I think so. I tried to enlarge it in my post, to better read it, but it still came out fuzzy.
Looking at my post #20, the form looks like it's printed long-hand to look nice, and filled in hand writing on the blank lines.
By the way, ask school kids today, if they'[re learning how to read and write in long hand.
Very few are, and that's another way liberals are stealing their ability to read our history, as most of it is NOT typed or printed.

that letter means jack and shows the senator to lack a basic understanding of Article 2 section 1.

being born on US soil grants US citizenship. this is not in question. to be eligible to hold the office of President, one must also be a NATURAL BORN citizen. this would be someone who was a US citizen naturally, as there is no alternative... meaning, BOTH parents were US citizens at the time of birth.

if this was not the case, then any anchor baby could be President with two foreign national parents. obviously, this goes against the plainly worded Article 2 section 1.

ask your senator (please tell us which one) whether or not he understands such a simplistic definition. if he does not, then he is unfit to uphold the oath he took upon taking office.

That was from Senator Richard Burr, way back when the party was just getting started.

I guess that was more or less the official response to people questioning obama's eligibility. I heard people in other states received a similar form letter.

I was hoping for a better, maybe more Constitutional response from the republicans, but instead it was a 'the fix is in' moment for me.

Just wonder what 'the fix' is...shouldn't have to wait much longer to find out.

From one frog to another, does the water seem hot to you?

A little more thought on "Progressive" RINO Senator Richard Burr's Jan 15, 2009 statement from here.
So you wonder what the "fix" was. Remember that at that time the Senate was in a Democrat majority, hence the Democrats chose who sat on the Committee Seats.
Then look at all the 2009 federal stimulus funding earmarked for NC the bought RINO Senator Richard Burr's support to cover up Obama's Kenyian Birth.

Here's some more old information.
Consider these witnesses:

Case CLOSED!!!

Now ... think about it.

"Ed Hale, aprivate investigator in Hawaii, has uncovered the divorce decree for Barack Obama’s father and mother, which indicates they had “one child under the age of eighteen, born in Kenya.”"

Ed Hale is not a private investigator. At the time he was a cattle rancher in Texas. Ed Hale HIRED a private investigator in Hawaii who was paid by the plains radio listeners. IIRC, The investigator was to make three copies. One copy was to be sent to Ed Hale, the other two to the two people who donated the most for the investigator. Either the investigator was to make three copies, or Ed was to make copies and send them to the top donators so they could view the documents before they became public.
