It seems this is happening a lot around here these days so I'm wondering if it's the official position of FR?

[library user]

Mark Levin is running for POTUS?

[The Bronze Titan]

That is like asking "what color is the rainbow?".

[Lazlo in PA]

Looks like there is no consensus yet. I see it as a 50/50 split. If the Corsi book or Trump come up with some irrefutable evidence, I see that changing. Otherwise it is still a fun argument to have and even better to watch the MSM losing their minds over it.

[Jim Robinson]

I believe I answered your question yesterday. Check your pings.

[smokingfrog]

I’ll never smoke dope with Donald again.

Your font is virtually unreadable (and painful) as you have been told in the past.

Why don't you post in computer friendly font?

[Paladin2]

Make up your own mind?

I'm just curious what the official Free Republic stance is on Obama's birth certificate with respect to the 2012 election

Birth certificate? What birth certificate?

[scripter]

I don't know about anything official...

We do know this:

1. We still don't know in what hospital Obama was born
2. The certification of live birth provided has the certification number blacked out. (I'd like to know why)
3. Hawaiian officials have said they no longer provide long form birth certificates
4. Freeper Danae obtained her Hawaiian long form birth certificate in Oct 2010
5. Another person obtained their long form birth certificate March 2011

There's no reason Obama can't provide his long form birth certificate.

[GunRunner]

I think that there's something on the long form he doesn't want the public to see.

I haven't seen any solid evidence that he wasn't born in Hawaii, but I did pre-order Corsi's book and am looking forward to reading it.

[novemberslady]

Saving my seat for later. This will probably be a really interesting thread. :)

I'm not a supporter of Mr. Trump in the primaries, but wonder where I'll be later on if he were to win the nomination.

Bambi is killing America.

[BuckeyeTexan]

JR’s position historically on the eligibility issue itself has been that FReeers will sort it out through debate and investigation.

[Typical_Whitey]

LOL the issue is not about his birth never has been. Oh I mean we can bicker if he was born in Hawaii or Timbuktu doesn't matter really, unless there is proof ALA smoking gun, i.e., moms passport to Kenya in 1961, authentic Kenyan BC, forged US BC etc...

The real issue is about the office of the President having a certain amount of respect for the citizenry that they preside over.

When a Totalitarian egomaniac like the current arrogant narcissist is, occupies the White House, it is incompetent upon; "The People"; to force him back to earth and if it means that yes he does owe us an explanation about the myriad inconsistencies in his life then so be it, every other President in our history has been an open book, America deserves no less.

[fish hawk]

Your supposed simple questions reek of your own personal biases. Just by reading your questions, I know exactly how you feel about the subject. Nice try at acting but no awards.

[Osage Orange]

Are you logged on?

[Raider Sam]

The official stance is what the individual believes based on the facts they have seen. We are not a monolith.

Some believe he was born outside of hawaii. Some believe his real BC shows a different father than what is known. Some believe it is a waste of time to talk about. Some believe he was born as the COLB says.

[HereInTheHeartland]

We need to focus on why conservative principals are the best way forward for this nation, as opposed to the collectivist left wing radicalism that is in control right now.
Conservatism will win every time it is articulated properly as compared to collectivism. Conservatism will make this nation a better place if we can use it.

People want to be free to make their own decisions and not be treated like children. That is why our nation was founded.

The birth thing is ok to investigate; but if that is all we have; we will lose.
Let the people who want to chase that down do it.

[campaignPete R-CT]

Here is my official stance:
The AMES straw poll is 4 months away.
The snow is melting in New Hampshire. Time to knock on doors.
The snow has melted in IOWA and SC. The campaign has begun.

My cell phone now has a New Hampshire phone number so I can call there without the caller ID problem as an obstacle.

Then again, if ya don’t want to play the game, buy a ticket and sit in general admission as a SPECTATOR.

[Chgogal]

My official position is “Show the darn thing like all other American Citizens have to, Mr. President.”

Then once you show it, Mr. President, assuming that it shows you were born in Hawaii, explain to us why the he&& you paid millions of dollars to keep it hidden and explain to us why that would NOT be a lapse in judgment and a waste of good money.

[Smokin' Joe]

From all accounts which are undistorted, his long form Birth Certificate (not the abstract, the Certification of Live Birth), is still MIA. As are a host of other background documents.

So, I have to ask, "What birth certificate?" We haven't seen one yet which has been verified as genuine.
