Wow, it is nearly impossible not to notice the widespread media attack on the birther movement! Nearly every major media network took part and even my local newpaper had a particularly hateful attack editorial on those questioning Obama's citizenship.
This could not happen by accident. Someone is getting too close to the truth, and the messiah must be feeling uncomfortable.
Here is the response I sent to my newspaper:
To the Editor,
The President has done everything in his power to keep his actual birth record a secret and has clearly been hiding something. A great controversy has arisen because of it, threatening his presidency.
No, it is not Barack Obama, it is Chester Arthur. We know today that he went to the extraordinary effort of burning some of his personal records to avoid controversy and possible removal from office.
There have been seven Presidents whose parents were born in foreign lands, and that is to be expected as we are a nation of immigrants. What distinguishes Obama and Arthur from the other five presidents is that one of their parents was not a citizen of the United States when they were born. In Chester Arthur's case, the father was a Canadian citizen. Of course, Barack Obama's father was a citizen of Kenya.
The founding fathers, beginning with a letter from John Jay to George Washington, expressed concerns about foreign influences on our elected president. From this beginning, the constitution established a "natural born citizen" as a person born of two citizens of the United States. Constitutional experts may debate this interpretation, but Chester Arthur's actions in covering up his birth records certainly indicate that he agreed with that definition. Location of birth may not matter as much as the citizen status of the parents, as John McCain's situation attests.
There are four indisputable facts that neither "birthers" nor "birther bashers" cannot deny:
- First, there has never been a constitutional interpretation and validation of Barack Obama's constitutional status as a "natural born citizen". This can only be done by the Supreme Court, but a responsible approach would have included an examination and reading of this BEFORE, not after his nomination and election.
- Second, the right of citizens to question their leaders, their political parties, their courts and their media is among the most sacred rights that we have -- it is that same right that brought down Richard Nixon. Describing efforts to raise legitimate questions as being a "silly canard", an "absurd controversy", a "pointless distraction" and "a lie" (as expressed in your editorial) are clearly counterproductive and un-American.
- Third, recent "converts" to the "birther" side of the argument, such as Lou Dobbs of CNN, have not been converted by the arguments of the birthers, but rather by the intransigence of the Obama administration to reveal any records that might help us undedrstand who Barack Obama is. This includes medical records, college transcripts, and his record is a Illinois legislator, to name a few and all of which are sealed. If the "birther movement" is growing, as it seems to be, Barack Obama is the one fueling the fire.
- Fourth, there are many irregularities that add fuel to the fire. For example, Obama personally claims, at different times, to be born at two different hospitals in Hawaii. The birth announcement, referred to in the first paragraph of the E_N editorial, appeared in two different Hawaiian newspapers and contains a home address where the Obama family never lived, according long-term neighbors. These are just a couple of things that might be cleared up by the release of the actual birth certificate.
If an internet site, Factcheck.org, is sacred enough to view the actual birth certificate, why should the American electorate be treated any less respectfully?
I am thinking this may go deeper than any of us suspect. After seeing him in action there has got to be something under the surface. He may just be the tip of the iceberg.
Good letter.
“Of course, Barack Obama’s father was a citizen of Kenya. “
Actually, his father was a British subject because Kenya was a British colony at the time of the zero’s birth.
Well I’ve got news for them. If they think they’re going to silence me, they’ll have to put me in a hole and cover me with dirt.
After all, they are the ones that could be charged with war-crimes for following orders from a fraud.
...........“Of course, Barack Obama’s father was a citizen of Kenya. “.................
Or more probably Communist Franklin Davis, whose facial features are quite similiar to Zer0’s
Excellent letter!
The ending was VERY strong and convincing too:
“If an internet site, Factcheck.org, is sacred enough to view the actual birth certificate, why should the American electorate be treated any less respectfully?”
BRAVO!
his title should be RACIST IN CHIEF
Defacto president
How about: Patriots
Not to mention the rumors that Andrew Jackson was born at sea before his mother arrived in the US, which would have made him ineligible.
My belief is that Obama’s BC is being withheld because of something other than place of birth, like correct name or name of father. This doesn’t explain why the secrecy on all his other personal records, though, like student records and such....
hh
I think this is just the tip of the iceberg. Remember, we have NOT seen any of Obama’s school records, from Harvard, from Columbia, or from Occidental College. Usually after a President is sworn in, we get to see those records but they have not been released, how come? Let’s see what a “great” student he really was. I think the real reason why they refuse to release his school records is either the name of his father is listed as someone different then what Obama says, or it lists his true birth place as Nairobi, Kenya. I have never in my life seen the media work so hard to defend the President. Whenever Obama says something, they try to clarify what he meant. They are his official spokespeople. Obama OWNS the media and the media ADORES him, they will do whatever he asks, and if he tells them to make everyone thin he was born in Hawaii, then that is what they will do
And according to Atty Apuzzo, Barry is still a British citizen/subject because he held British citizenship not Kenyan citizenship though he tried to lie and say his citizenship dissolved upon his 21st birthday.
Excellent letter.
Well written letter!
Good job!
This issue must soon reach critical mass. We may not have The Kenyan to kick around much longer.
+10 updings (If we could do that...)
