Personally, I'm not all that interested in the "birther" debate, though I find it mildly entertaining to peruse the latest "evidence" on both sides.

That said, if other people want to make it their hobby horse, then I say let them. In my mind, anything that keeps the heat on Obama and calls his legitimacy into question (so long as it represents a good faith effort and is not the promotion of some ridiculous hoax for the purpose of gaining celebrity) weakens his side.

It has been frustrating to see my fellow-Freepers waste so much time and effort arguing that Obama isn't a legitimate president. He is and no amount of wishful thinking to the contrary will change that fact.

It may indeed be true that we're stuck with this turd for four years, but if this issue (and the very legitimate questions that it provokes) cause some state legislators to take action it will have been a worthy effort. Fool me twice, shame on me...

I want to see ALL the documents he has sealed. Those records were supplied by other candidates, why not him? WTH is he hiding them for?

In my personal opinion,

That's all you have. You surrender so easily to propaganda. Resistance is futile, eh?

I don’t know what is more rational than demanding that ALL the sealed records of obama be opened. He used that tactic against his opponant to win the us house seat, but now he sits in the White House not only with no experience, but with no history. The President of the United States is supposed to be accountable to the American people, but this goofball has insulated and hidden himself from everyone. This should have been done 18 months ago, (no thanks gop)but here we are. If this guy wants to lead, then we need to know who he is. The birth certificate is just ONE of his records that are hidden and sealed. How the hell did a guy get into this office with NO information available to the American taxpayer who funds his crazy ass ideas, and the military that carries out his foreign policy and may be sent off to die for this country. It about accountability, and that is all.

focus on the real issue of saving the Republic

There is no Republic to save without the Constitution.

How have you missed the fact that that is exactly what this is all about?

It isn’t my pet issue, but I am always on the side of truth. And if there is any doubt whatsoever about whether BO is truly eligible, then the truth must prevail. That can only happen with a release of the long form BC.

Well you at least succeeded in changing the focus for a hour or so. But that is FR and the way it works. Don’t worry as Ma Palin will sneeze or something else then she’ll be back front and center while later another issue with the BC will come forward to run it’s course and maybe next the TOTUS will malfunction, etc, etc..

Freepers or at least most of us will come to the issue[s] that are front and center at any one moment. The focus seems to be more on national issues rather than local but that’s to be expected as we are a worldwide group made up of locals.

Take care, have a nice day and look for the next hot topic.

I agree, and thank you for your post. I'd like to know how many Freepers think we should use the same slash and burn tactics used by MoveOn.org and other liberal groups. If the number is as high as it seems, I'd be sorely disappointed.

Haha!

Rush Limbaugh: “Liberals ALWAYS let you know when you’ve scored a bulls-eye.”

They’re screaming like stuck pigs!

Freepers, there’s enough conservatives to pursue Omoslem’s refusal to show his BC, and at the same time, to oppose Omoslem on the issues.

Barry Soetoro is just one Commie. We are many non-commies.

Just as we could fight in Iraq AND Afghanistan at the same time (but we were told that was impossible), we will oppose this commie on the issues, WHILE tracking down his BC and college records.

Or, we could just QUIT because admitted Nazi Collaborator George Soros plants a few suggestions in the blogosphere that we should just give up.

Screw Omoslem. Screw the naysayers. If we can’t nail Soetoro on Communism or selling out our allies or purposely destroying the US economy, we’ll nail him on ‘tax evasion’ just like Al Capone. Or on being an illegal alien or non-natural-born citizen.

One way or another, we’ll get that dirty commie. He’s filthy up and down. He can slither, but he cannot hide.

You could not be more wrong. The 0ne needs to be opposed at ALL levels ALL the time. If the certificate thing turns up that he is not an NBC all the fighting over individual bills goes away for the next 40 months. He is either in the penalty box or ejected from the game.

I have been a manager and an auditor for 30 years. I can smell a turd in a Zip Lock bag at 100 feet. I do not know what 0 is hiding and to some extent I do not care, I just want the LAW followed and to know that he is legitimate when he issues life and death orders to my offspring who are in the Military.

Before the election when the questions about Obama's birth arose we were told to ignore them, that we could beat him on the issues.

We were told that if Hillary or McCain had anything on him they would use it.

We were also told by Obama that if he was attacked on the issue of his birth certificate he would destroy either Hillary or McCain if they dared to attack him on this issue.

So as a recap since well before the election we have been told that we must beat him on the issues, and that no one can attack him on his birth certificate or he will destroy all that oppose him on this matter.

YOU HAVE FAILED TO BEAT HIM ON THE ISSUES.

Why now do we have to continue to follow a strategy that has failed every time it has been used against him?

Fair play and open debate do not work against this man, he does not play by the rules and he silences his critics with threats against them.

Perhaps, Edward, when and if you become a citizen of the United States, your point of view will matter. As a non-citizen, it does not.

We’re NOT trying to win a popularity contest with the hardcore leftists. We’re trying to win the hearts/minds of reasonable people by exposing Omoslem.

If we had VIDEO of Omoslem’s birth in Kenya or wherever that Commie was born, and showed it to libs, they’d say its not him. Then they’d say OK its him, he lied, but everybody lies about their birth.

In other words, they’ll never agree with Freepers. Ever. Everrrr. Get over it.

They’re screaming like stuck pigs because Omoslem’s polls are plummeting. We’re helping his polls plummet by raising the issue of how he’s blowing $$$$ to keep all his records sealed.

If this is so painful for Omoslem, why won’t he release the BC? Or his college records. Because he’s hiding something big.

If you think Omoslem’s lying NOW on the world stage, in broad daylight, just think how many crimes he committed in relative privacy BEFORE he became a Senator!

Omoslem is dirty. That much we know. The question is “dirty in exactly which ways,” and exactly how do we expose it.

Remember how the leftists IGNORED Limbaugh for decades? Until early 2009. They don’t attack directly until they are VERY WORRIED.

That’s why Birthers, and Freepers, and John Q Public are getting attacked nonstop by the SRM now.

They don’t attack until they have no choice. Their attack, in itself, shows we’re already winning.

Quite frankly, if people wanted to make a huge issue about Obama using the wrong fork at dinner, I'd join with the "Forkers" in a heartbeat.

Anything that can be thrown at him, should be and the more sand we can dump in his undies, the better.

All he's got to do is show the certificate. His refusal points up his supreme arrogance and contempt for the Constitution and the country.

Obama can expect the same treatment Bush received

To the editor:

The selective memory of liberals never ceases to amaze me. In the midst of a Sound Off whine, the commentator labeled "No Democrats?" bleated, "Why are people so mean and hateful of this future president? I don't understand this. Give the guy a chance."

Give Obama a chance? Let's take a walk down memory lane. Remember the screams that Bush stole the 2000 election? That he was poisoning children by putting arsenic in the water? That he was killing millions by not funding stem-cell research?

Remember the bumper stickers? "He's not MY president!" "Somewhere in Texas a village is missing its idiot." "Re-Defeat Bush" and, of course, the ubiquitous "1-20-09."

Let's remember the supposed "loyal opposition" — Harry Reid on the floor of the Senate screaming that the war in Iraq was "lost," Jack Murtha slandering an innocent platoon of Marines as cold-blooded murderers and Washington Congressman Jim McDermott telling CNN "I trust Saddam Hussein more than I trust George Bush."

Have you forgotten Nancy Pelosi traveling to Syria to meet with Bashir Assad, or Jimmy Carter groveling to Hugo Chavez, both insisting they had as much right to conduct foreign policy as the elected president of the United States?

Or let's just talk plain slander — "BusHitler," "Bush Lied, People Died," "Bush is a cocaine freak." "Bush is a dry drunk." "Bush is a fascist." "Bush knew Sept. 11 was going to happen." Just for fun, why not Google "chimp" or "chimpy Bush."

You'll find thousands of Web sites comparing George Bush to a monkey, or slamming him as a subliterate moron who can't even tie his own shoes.

For the last eight years, the Democrats have blackmailed this country. "Put us in office," they made it clear, "or we will ruin you. We will lie. We will give aid and comfort to the enemy. We will leak top-secret intelligence to the New York Times. We will use organizations like Code Pink and CAIR to funnel money and weapons to the Iraqi resistance. We will slime George Bush at every turn and do our best to destroy his administration." But now that B. Hussein Obama has been elected, people like "No Democrats?" think we should just shrug our shoulders and fall in line?

Sorry, no. Your filthy party has poisoned the political well, and it's long past time you had a good stiff dose poured down your throats. "Dissent is the highest form of patriotism!" you screamed incessantly, and so I plan to dissent.

Obama is not my president. I do not wish him well. I will laugh at his mistakes and cheer his stumbles. I want the GOP to block, hinder and slam him at every turn. I want him driven from office four years from now a broken man with his administration in ruins.

In short, I want Obama given the same respect and deference that Democrats have given George Bush since November of 2000.
