Yeah, maybe if Paul Revere had ridden through the countryside yelling "The Martians are coming!"
Barrack Obama don't need no stinking Constitution.
He knows better than all the Founding Fathers and every president or judge that has preceded him, and will fix that "fundamentally flawed" document to say whatever he feels like it should say.
What about the people of Hawaii?
You may think you’re joking, or being hyperbolic,
but really, this IS how they think.
The founders... heck, anyone that passes a law or ratifies a Constitution or amendment, temporally (in time), cannot by definition have the information available to today’s decision makers,
who therefore should not be held to the restrictions imposed by people having less information than today’s decision makers.

You are not that far off.
It was World Net Daily founder Joseph Farah who goes around yelling "Pterodactyls are on this very day, flying above the skies of Africa and Asia!"
The people who are fighting for this issue to be heard are patriots in the truest sense of the word.
God speed to them.
Our founding fathers faced hanging for a chance to create the constitution. I can face ridicule at the hands of constitutional cowards to defend it.
Best line of the day!
I am skeptical on both sides of the "natural born citizen" debate ... mostly because there is no sensible reason (other than a serious flaw in the certificate, if it even exists) for Obama to keep the real birth certificate locked up ... but WND is one of the few sources that I trust even less than I trust Dan Rather.
bttt
I have faith that the Four Strict Constructionists on the SCOTUS will uphold the Constitution.
If you believe that those justices are not upholding the Constitution, you can ask your U.S. Senator to introduce a resolution to impeach Roberts, Scalia, Thomas and Alito.
Does that sound like a good idea to you?
To carry your arguement even further.
Shouldn’t we expect the leaders of our OWN FREAKING party to question his COLB?
Shouldn’t we expect our conservative members of the media to question this or EVEN DISCUSS it on the air?
Where is Rush? Where is Sean? Where is Laura? Where is Mark?
Cowards all, I refuse to listen to them or watch them again.
The crux of it is, he knew about the laws and lied.
There's probably more of an apt comparison there, than to the Nirther loons over at LGF. They're afraid of being mocked. So they mock. Very brave.
No, our own candidate had the same problem, hence that weird little quid pro quo back in April, known as SR 511.
Tinfoil-hat-wearing conspiracy kooks are seldom patriotic. That fact that they're in bed with a Hillary Clinton supporting 9-11 truther raises a red flag.
At the risk of being branded a loon, I believe the Supreme Court owes the country their time and effort in putting this issue to bed once and for all.
There is enough question on both sides of the issue.
The Supreme Court Justices should not be COWARDS by letting this issue pass without action and comment on their part.
First it sets a bad precedent for similar future issues that the Court will not touch it. Second, if any solid and real evidence came out later that Barry Obama were not eligible, all hell could break loose. The time for Court review and comment is before he takes office, not after.
These are not "normal times", and the Supreme Court should do something to help prevent a future problem.
So we should all take Obama’s word on this - even though he refuses to show his birth certificate.
By the same logic, you're in bed with Obama. Talk about raising a red flag.
