What if "Birthers" were "Age-ers"?
The Post & Email ^ | February 19, 2010 | Sally Vendée

Everyone knows, or should by now with all of the “birther” hullabaloo, Article II of the Constitution and its three requirements for the Commander-in-Chief: He must be a “natural born Citizen,” at least thirty-five years old, and have resided for at least fourteen years within the United States.

Most Americans, according to the media, accept Obama’s alleged place of birth as Hawaii and his US citizenship. Many, though, especially in “tea party” circles, express frustration with his seeming lack of “transparency,” want to see more than the short-form birth certificate posted on the internet, and ask questions like: “Where do we put the plaque?” Everyday Americans must show a birth certificate and other credentials to get jobs, drivers’ licenses, loans, passports, play on sports teams, etc., and they wish that Obama would just present his so we can get on with it. These viewpoints earn them the dreaded label of “birther.”

The majority of “birthers” consider themselves “Constitutionalists,” and whether or not they have questions about Obama’s Hawaiian birth, they do have reservations about the “natural born” part— because of his Kenyan father, who was not an immigrant and never a US citizen, resulting in Obama Jr. admittedly being a dual citizen at birth. Scholars and attorneys could debate the definition of “natural born” for hours. Combine that question with the current political correctness of birthright citizenship, dual citizenship/allegiance and immigration, and the arguments become even more heated.

But what if the eligibility issue was much simpler to grasp: What if it had to do with the simplest of the three Presidential criteria—Age?

Imagine this:...

There is no possible way that either Republicans or Democrats can tip toe around this great big stinky carcass of road kill blocking the road to the elections.

Crossin' the highway late last night
He shoulda looked left and he shoulda looked right
He didn't see the station wagon car
The skunk got squashed and there you are!

(Chorus)
You got yer
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
You got yer dead skunk in the middle of the road
Stinkin' to high Heaven!...


Hmmmm. Black, check. White, check. B.O., check. And flattened in the polls, check.

He's a Poll-cat.

Except that it would take people about 10 minutes to come up with documented proof she was born overseas. Birthers have been trying for 18 months and haven't been able to accomplish that.

Slick. Obama uses presidential powers and over a million dollars in legal fees to lock up, of all things, his birth certificate, and you say that birthers can't find anything. LOL! Over a million bucks in legal defense says they found it, all right!

Even so, the birth certificate is a straw man - Obama admits to a British Kenyan father, and while that doesn't necessarily impact his born US citizenship, it does indeed negate ANY possible claim to "natural born" status. That the government refuses to act has nothing to do with the inescapable legitimacy of this simple legal fact.

Some argue that Hillary would have used the b.c. issue if Obama wasn't eligible.

Wrong! IMO.

Hillary Clinton is the she in shenanigans. Obama would have unleashed proof of tons of her wrong doings. Lots of knowledgeable Clinton people, et al worked for him.

.. also, by the time Hillary realized that Obama was likely to beat her the Democratic Party had already committed perjury in all fifty seven states by signing the required forms. (If Obama was ineligible.)

They’d still be “racists”.

Slithered out again as a loyal 0bamunist to protect your boy 0bama, hey?

To paraphrase Shakespeare:
"Methinks he doth protest too much".

0bama has recruited individuals who are weak minded and those of questionable loyalty to this Country, among whom I include YOU, to act as his official or unofficial "truth squads". These so-called "truth squads" attempt to browbeat or belittle those who do not agree, support or parrot his 0bamaunist Party Line, into submission. This is one of Hussein's favorite tactics because it does not require facts to support the arguments. I will not intimidated in submission.

Besides, since your boy 0bama is a proven liar, although not as adept as Bubba Klintoon, it is only logical that he may be lying about his citizenship status as well. Once a liar, always a liar.

What is more likely -

1. Non-Sequitur never leaves his key board (having a special combination desk chair/potty and a live in caterer) and therefore never ever misses any thread about the “O” and his BC...

2. A government software program is monitoring FR for the use of certain key words (birther, birth certificate, natural born, etc.) and within seconds, Non-Sequitur is notified that his anti-birther services are required online via his blackberry or PC or laptop depending on where is is at the moment...

3. A team of fed. gov. folks at their terminals monitor certain forums with emphasis on FR and lets N.S. know he needs to get on an FR birther thread and do his job...

What do you think - 1, 2 or 3?

His response today took 23 minutes - prompt but not too fast. Maybe wanted to see if the topic had any legs before making his move.

I don’t care whether he’s “really” African-American because there is no constitutional requirement as to race.

There is one as to nationality. And age. That’s what I care about.

Which I have done from the beginning.

(Obama) Your personal ambition should not come before your patriotism.

He has no patriotism to America.

Back to a million bucks? I've heard Birthers claim $2 million or $3 million or more.

Even so, the birth certificate is a straw man - Obama admits to a British Kenyan father, and while that doesn't necessarily impact his born US citizenship, it does indeed negate ANY possible claim to "natural born" status.

So you say. Yet there is no legislation or Supreme Court decision that makes your statement true.

That the government refuses to act has nothing to do with the inescapable legitimacy of this simple legal fact.

Maybe they just don't agree with you?

All this contentious one-track dialogue concentrating on 0kaka’s BC is going to go on and on until some Congressmen/Senators start demanding full disclosure of the usurpers documents.

Until then, if it ever happens, we should demand ALL his other documents, mainly his school records.

0b0z0 and his media enablers demonized the Constitutionalists by simply avoiding their legitimate demands and calling them kooky “Birthers.”

This ghost of a POTUS will be uncovered by some patriots he’s demonizing almost daily, such as FBI/CIA officers, bankers, health insurance personnel, etc.

I dare the media and the 0kaka Administration communists to call us “Ghosters”, which will refer to his ghostly status every time they utter it.

0b0z0 will never run for reelection, definitely, if an accented, naturalized American candidate demands to run against him. SoSs will have to remove 0kaka from their ballots unless he proves that he is eligible. 0kaka has the right to go to court if he wishes. He won’t, trust me.

However, we want him out ASAP to limit and/or nullify the communist damage to our beloved country.

Oh, yes, should we be afraid of union and communist-led riots threatening us if we dare to try legally and peacefully to uncover the ghost? Nope, if they insist on their violent ways, so be it.

A Ghoster

Yes well paranoia runs deep in the Birther community. You think that everyone who doesn't swallow your nonsense is automatically in the pay of Obama.

If you think you’re not weak-minded, then answer my challenge:

Taking this hypothetically (which you should be able to do, given that you have nothing to hide and are entirely confident in addressing this for the purposes of discussion), tell me how a poster who in fact was “in the pay of Obama” would behave that is different from the way you behave?

I’ll take #1 with a couple of changes:

Non-Sequitur never leaves his key board (having a special combination desk chair/potty and his mommy brings him food down to the basement) and therefore never ever misses any thread about the, civil war, Southerners and the BC...

The funny thing is that you are more obsessed with defending the BC than anyone that believes it has issues. But after all, you are a big attention whore, so who knows..........

Non-Sensiqueer ALWAYS pops up immediately to ridicule any questions concerning the eligibility of his boy, 0bamao, so it is apparent that he is always lurking in some manner. He may use a combination of 1,2 and 3, but I suspect he is a “self-appointed” member of 0bamao’s truth squads, as he never has a logical counter to any questions raised, or even good talking points, only nonsensical ridicule. I would expect the real propaganda pros to be able to at least present plausible arguments, but maybe I give them them way too much credit.

Oh no -- it's not that much -- yet.

It's only a documented $1.5 million paid to the Perkins et al law firm.

Oh but that does not include what is paid directly to other law firms and of course the propaganda effort that you are involved in -- which may exceed that paid to the lawyers.

I take it all back -- that claim may be low, given the quantity of Obot propaganda that has been imported from the far reaches of Obamalalaland. BTW Is your job one of that was "created" by him or "saved" by him????
