The Internet is primarily a visual medium and its visual imagery tends to evoke more polarizing responses than auditory ones.
The Internet permits hundreds of millions of people to view the same images, and to interpret them in the same way as they were intended to be. The deciding factor, however, in how images are perceived is contingent on the context in which they appear. The people who design the visuals we see, whether it’s on the Internet, on TV, or in print, pay particular attention to structuring the context in ways that convey their own interpretation. The extent to which the public will accept or reject another person’s interpretation depends on the amount of trust that viewer places on its source.
For a great many people, any media that bears the name of Barack Obama, that also bears testimony to his legitimacy as President, will be treated as the unadulterated truth, no questions asked. Barack Obama has a special personal image that he and the media go to great lengths to preserve. Obama engenders the kind of following that a rock star would envy, and being ranked as the top celebrity in America only confirms this status. Part and parcel to that popularity, in the minds of his followers, is the belief that Obama’s biographical narrative is totally true. That is why, whenever that biography is challenged, his followers take it as a personal affront to them.
Nowhere is this phenomenon more apparent than in the digital image purported to be a copy of Barack Obama’s original birth certificate. His followers are incensed that their leader’s legitimacy is being questioned. Conversely, they see no disconnect nor hypocrisy in delegitimizing John McCain in regards to his stated birthplace, his activities as a prisoner of war in Vietnam, his patriotism, his voting record, and most egregious of all, discriminating against him on the basis of his age. Yet, this is a typical characteristic of Obama’s followers in that they can maintain a double standard while simultaneously denying that one exists.
Yet, the cold, hard facts remain that Barack Hussein Obama has hidden from public scrutiny any concrete proof that would validate both his life’s narrative and more importantly, his Constitutional eligibility to serve as President of the United States.
Instead of spending $12 to obtain a certified paper copy of his birth record and presenting it to any government official, be it state or federal, Barack Obama has posted on his website, a fabricated image an abridged version of a birth certificate known as a “Certification of Live Birth” (COLB).
Instead of spending $12 to obtain a certified paper copy of his birth record and presenting it to any government official, be it state or federal, Barack Obama has illegally used $1 million in campaign contributions in legal fees to prevent his real, original birth certificate from ever being seen.
The fabricated image posted on Obama’s own website now become one of the most recognizable and infamous images in political history, and the historical storyline that goes along with this iconic symbol of secrecy is equally as compelling. It’s as if a President declared war, but never expected to fight one.
Yet, for the past year, the battles continue in a war of words and legal wrangling between Obama, his legal team, and his plausibly deniable shills at Factcheck, and We the People, the citizens of the United States, who literally live and die by the Constitution, who wanted nothing more than for both candidates who ran for President to be equally forthcoming when their Constitutional status was in doubt.
I doubt if anyone reading this document would allow an unknown person into his or her home after refusing to provide a legal form of identification. In essence, we allowed an unknown person to occupy the office of President who has also refused to identify himself.
Just as might be the case when you let an unknown stranger into your home and then find all of your possessions stolen, so, too, have Americans let an unknown stranger into their governmental home, and are only now learning how much of our money and freedoms have been stolen.
Bookmark bump.
Glad you’re here.
My guess is its primarily Axelrod inspired as he is and has been always a lot more than an advisor but possibly a defacto potus.
Sad thing is that he(zero) has been getting away with a lot. Most anything he wants be it legal or illegal. What President in history would support a group like acorn,this guy is manic,crazy and a total statist left wing ideologue and must be stopped before he totally destroys the country.
Dr. Polarik, your post is extremely well stated and absolutely correct Thank you for your constant defense of our country! I pray that it bears fruit very soon.
I was so impressed with your essay, I posted on my blog. I’ll take it down if you don’t want it ‘out there’.
Partly because so few are able to read well, I suspect. - Government schooling is a failure.
The MSM told everyone what a wonderful President he would be.
Because they did as they were told, they never did any research. If they had, they would’ve seen that he’s a socialist....or maybe they already know and don’t care.
