How Crazy are those “Birthers?”
Cross Action News ^ | 10/15/09 | JB Williams

In case you don’t know, after the terror attacks of 9/11/01, there were indeed a few Americans who honestly believed that the federal government was so corrupt that it was behind and responsible for the events of September 11th. Even though we all watched in shock, as hijacked planes flew into the twin towers, the Pentagon and a Pennsylvania field, these folks imagined that someone in Washington DC might have blown up those buildings instead.

Not that our federal government isn’t capable of such things, mind you… but they are not likely to pull off such a thing without anyone spilling the beans sooner or later.

These believers were labeled “truthers” – and were often the same folks who claimed to have seen UFOs or even to have been abducted by aliens from outer space at some point in their lives.

Even conservative talkshow hosts like Neal Boortz in Atlanta, Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck on Fox News, even Rush all refuse to address it. Have they all been threatened by their networks? Or are they all blind?

No. Just sane.

skeptical of the trip he took to Pakistan in his youth and the violation of US law that entails it

Pray tell, what law would that be?

skeptical of the money he may have bilked from the US education system by claiming to be of Indonesian Nationality in College

How exactly does claiming Indonesian nationality make it any easier to "bilk" the education system?

” What had “birthers” done that was so over the top?
They asked to see Barack Obama’s birth certificate...”

Actually what has the political, media and corporate elite flaming angry is the disobedience. People were told “no you may not question us about Obama’s NBC status.” Americans dared to disobey and not take no for an answer from their superiors.

0 has concealed everything important about his upbringing and education:


How do you think that occurred by Obama and his handlers/conspirators?

Embargo laws, travel restrictions at the time, etc....

Out and out fraud upon the Federal Aid Agencies. The idea that someone who truly was an Indonesian citizen got screwed out of a U.S. scholarship due to BHO getting one instead. The US does provide aid to students from other countries, if BHO was an American citizen, but claimed he was an Indonesian citizen when the applied for student aid he actively participated in FRAUD against the sate. Even if he didn’t break any laws concerning student aid, it shows a pattern of lack of regard for the spirit of the law.

There were no such restrictions at that time. Do your homework.

I was not aware that the US government had special scholarships for Indonesian citizens. Do you have any evidence that such scholarships existed?

FYI, the vast majority of government funded college scholarships are restricted to US citizens and permanent residents. It is very difficult to get financial aid if you are a foreigner.
