First off, I am a conservative and have spent countless hours listening to and reading the books of all these men. Reading Levin's Liberty and Tyranny was compelling, as were many of the publications of these Patriots.
With the VAST amount of Constitutional research accumulated in order to write these best sellers, there is and has always has been one important fact known to ALL these men to be a Constitutional FACT missing. That non negotiable FACT is that according to the Constitution, Barack Hussein Obama is NOT eligible to be placed on the ballot, let alone occupy his present position as President of the United States of America! Obama himself touts the fact that his father was a British Subject at the time of his “BHO 2’s” birth, making him at the very least a duel citizen and not eligible to hold the office as president. Furthermore, Daddy was NEVER a citizen of the United States, again making Jr. ineligible with that fact alone.
None of these men (as far as I know) served in the military for whatever reason and I think there may be some suppressed guilt because of that when I hear their accolades regarding current and former Men of Honor. As they refer to many of their callers and guests as “Brother”, they at the same time have never felt compelled to commit the heroic act of jumping on a Firecracker, let alone a Grenade to help save their “Brothers” and in the end help save this Nation.
Levin is the one that has disappointed me the most when I heard him disenfranchise many of his loyal listeners on Jan 19th, 2010 (may have been the 20th) by referring to those that even questioned the eligibility issue as (paraphrasing) ignorant and foolish. He followed that comment by saying that Obama was of course eligible to be President. He, in my opinion is an expert on the Constitution and knows full well that his statement was an out and out lie.
When the truth finally reveals itself, I can almost hear the excuses from these Less than Honorable radio and TV Patriots now –
Sticks and Stones will break my Bones and even Words would really hurt me because I AM A COWARD! By the way, there are thousands of these Cowards walking the halls of Congress and other places that have at least to this point failed to MAN UP. All this makes me admire all the more the few that in their heart really do trust God Almighty and FEAR NO EVIL.
Thank you central_va - Great to have others do the detail work for me. :-) Just kidding and I do appreciate it.
Thanks for paragraphing him.
The para about his father’s citizenship —— apparently no one cares. Apparently according to our courts’ interpretations, being born on the soil means natural born. Anchor babies can be president. Or El Presidente. Sad but true.
Boom! Paragraphs ‘fore anyone could go snarky. You handled that very well. Thanks.
Thank you so much for doing that. I read the vanity but did not get a thing out of it. I read your layout and was easier to understand. I appreciate you doing that big time.
I think it is noteworthy the C.S.Hannity was scheduled to conduct the first on-air interview with Where's the Birth Certificate author Jerome Corsi following the book's release. My understanding is that this interview had been scheduled several months prior and that C.S.Hannity canceled it only a few hours before it was to have occurred.
So the first interview fell to Steve Malzberg who USED to be on opposite C.S.Hannity on WOR-AM in NYC, and who had a bigger NYC audience than C.S.Hannity. Radio stations don't just give up the largest drive time audience in their market. They just don't. But Malzberg would speak openly and honestly about the birth certificate issue, until he was dropped.
(BTW, the "C" stands for "Chicken.")

You think that because Levin is a genius and you are an idiot.
Chance Hart (and able side kick central_va),
Nice post on an important issue. I consider both Limbaugh and Levin to be among the small group of my personal heroes. They are not perfect (who of us are?) but they are far from being cowards. There is so much to do countering the progressive/socialist/statist agendas that they are focusing on areas that THEY have chosen as potentially most productive use of THEIR time and energies.
There are “lesser gods” in the conservative, liberty-loving pantheon who HAVE chosen to focus much of THEIR time and energy on the Natural Born Citizen issue. And I commend these folks for their efforts. To the extent I am able, I have tried to provide some financial assistance to their noble efforts. And I would encourage fellow conservatives to do the same.
I do feel antipathy toward the folks who are clearly on a JIHAD against anyone who want to challenge or support a challenge of Obama eligibility under the Natural Born Citizen requirement for the US Presidency. A long time ago my Dad told me that I should “be careful, all people are not who or what they say they are”. That admonition has stuck with me to this day and paying careful attention to it has helped me avoid some potential bad outcomes in my personal life. And seeing some of the postings of these anti-NBC requirement jihadists raises a red flag for me. What motivates these regularly appearing “usual suspects” to expend so much energy & time trying to derail any discussion or activity related to this issue? Things that make you go Hmmmm.
ping to talk radio failure to address eligibility thread...
Having defined NBC children as “no doubt” those born in the country to citizen parents, MvH’s doubts were about the citizenship of non-NBC children which MvH divided into two categories:
1. Those non-NBC children considered citizens at birth
2. Those non-NBC children NOT considered citizens at birth
The WKA court declared that WKA was in the first of these two non-NBC categories.
The sentence in MvH in which doubts are expressed has “citizens” as the subject, NOT “natural born citizens.”
From Minor v Happersett:
“Some authorities go further and include as citizens children born within the jurisdiction without reference to the citizenship of the parents. As to this class there have been doubts, but never as to the first.”
Yet some people insist on substituting “natural born citizens” into that sentence for “citizens.”
