Right now it is important to get out to the public any questions and chicanery involved in that BC just because that sort of thing is what many people in this land use to make up their minds. Real scandal and evidence of lying about things that folks can relate to makes a big difference with folks who don’t really understand or relate to large issues and there are a lot of such folks.
Ex post facto only applies when making something a crime.
I posted a reference to a publication of the U.S. State Department. You can download a copy if you wish to read it.
If you disagree with the State Department you must take it up with them.
I of course certainly do not believe he should be elected. Our job is to convince the American voters of that.
Fraud and misrepresentation by Obama and his supporters are excellent targets, including the photoshopped birth certificate.
OK, so he was born an Obama and for a while used the surname Soetoro, then went back to his original surname. Even if he didn’t take any steps to be un-adopted by his stepfather (whose marriage to Stanley Ann broke up), he’s consistently used the surname Obama and I doubt he can get into any trouble. Bill Clinton’s name at birth was Blythe (from the surname of his putative father) but he later started using the name Clinton. I don’t think he was ever adopted by his stepfather.
You’re forgetting that a proven forgery was put up and certified as correct on his official website. That alone should be enough to disqualify him, particularly if the extra step of showing that the original it was based on was his own sister’s can be taken.
It's like Nixon and Watergate. They couldn't impeach him for the break-in at the DNC. They had to find something that could be tied directly to Nixon himself. Obama can easily claim to have had no direct involvement. Plausible deniability.
What is indisputably true is that the COLB that the Obama campaign has proffered for proof of Obama’s natural born citizenship is a document that is devoid of the normal Indications of provenence that one expects to see on an official government document that enables it to be authenticated. It has no birth certificate number, no official State of Hawaii seal, and no official signatures. It looks to be in every way a crude forgery. Set aside the reliability of Texas darling, Judah Benjamin, Larry Johnson and Israeli Insider. The question should be, why has the Obama campaign not released indisputable evidence of his natural born citizenship? The WORST that should happen is that he does so, and this issue gets laid to rest. We will have provided a valuable service to the American people in satisfying a question of his constitutional eligibility and can devote our energies to exposing him for the radical crypto-Marxist that he really is. Or we will have shown that a presidential candidate is willing to defraud the American people by proffering an illegally altered government document to enable his election to the highest office in the land. This could possibly lead to felony criminal charges against persons in the Obama campaign. The Obama campaign is amazingly quick to respond to real and imagined slurs. They are suspiciously silent on this. I suspect that they are hoping that it will remain unexamined, and are counting on their in the tank MSM allies to hush it up.
We already know that a corrupt Democrat Congress will not vote to impeach and remove corrupt Democrat presidents from office despite clear evidence of high crimes and misdemeanors. We know that Democrats almost NEVER resign when they have been caught in various forms of political criminality. Should (GOD forbid) Barack Hussein Obama ever take the oath of office, and it is subsequently proven beyond a reasonable doubt that he is NOT natural born, than there will be no legal way to remove him from office. This could (at best) lead to a constitutional crisis and worst a civil war. Not a War Between the States, but an honest to God fight over who controls the government.
This is NOT a subsidiary issue. It is of greater importance constitutionally than Obama’s position on health care, Iraq, the energy policy, or national health care. It is crucial to our standing as a constitutional republic.
We should be insisting the he release the proper documents. We should not be apologetic about upholding the constitution. We already have proof positive as to what an inveterate liar that he has already shown himself to be as seeks to create myths about himself.
Looks like I’m late to the party but I just clicked the link and it worked for me. Seems like this is happening a lot lately.
You might perhaps have a point, although an official web site, particularly one set up to establish the truth, should be held to a pretty high standard. However, if it can really be shown that the basis of the forgery was his own sister’s COLB then he doesn’t have a leg to stand on. There is no way that he COULDN’T have been involved.
Why should you be FAIR>>>I hate FAIR. I run every time I hear FAIR.
Meanwhile, Hillary isn’t spending a dime on pre-convention campaigning.
Hmmmmmmmm...
