Birth of a nation: Too many Americans buy crank theory on Obama's citizenship
New York Daily News ^ | Saturday, August 1st 2009

Posted on 08/01/2009 1:38:58 PM PDT by presidio9

There's Red America, Blue America and Tinfoil Helmet America. And it looks like the third camp is enormously larger than anyone feared.

A new poll, commissioned by the liberal Web site Daily Kos found that fully 11% of Americans think that Barack Obama wasn't born in the United States. And another 12% said that they are unsure.

The doubters are heavily concentrated in the Republican Party, according to pollsters. An amazing 58% of the surveyed Republicans questioned whether Obama, in fact, entered the world in Hawaii.

What this means: Millions of Americans suspect or are convinced that Obama, son of a Kenyan father, is not a citizen and thus cannot legitimately serve as President. And no Hawaiian birth certificate or newspaper announcement from the time will convince them otherwise.

Who are these people? They're the ones whose feet are not planted on U.S. soil - or any soil.

Absolutely nothing that anyone posts is going to change the fact that there is *no legal requirement* for a candidate to produce his birth certificate...

Damn, there is something seriously wrong with that poster.

Like maybe a cracked chip planted in her head getting the blue screen of death all of the time or a Code 404, page not found error...scary 0bot

Well, the very evident problem here — which a whole lot of people stumble all over — is that no one has any proof of that lie...

Really? Did I miss the DNC members come forward stating that he'd been vetted? Other than Pelosi signing the statement they've been silent. Don't you find that odd?

However, they *keep stumbling* by not realizing that there is *no legal requirement* for a candidate to show his birth certificate...

The nominating committee of each party is to vet them. The written statement says so. There's been nothing from tehm since.

“why is the pro-Obama press so alarmed about it?”

Why is the MSM dismissive of JFK conspiracy theories? Because people don’t like conspiracy theories.

It hasn’t worked with voting laws, has it. If it did, Acorn wouldn’t be so successful. A mere law won’t do it. We NEED to SCREAM.

Here's what he swore to:

"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

He can show what his intentions are by providing the called for documents we have questions about

Furthermore our rights under the Constitution are given to us by our Creator, not by him and not by the State, so this deathcare bill of his to dictate who lives and who dies, is also unconstitutional

That’s your opinion, but it’s not the opinion of others and *actually* other conservatives — and — other FReepers...

So, that opinion is not necessarily shared with other FReepers and/or other conservatives...

'Around here' we don't take to liars and dissemblers. Here's the evidence of your being just that:

Posting troll exposed To: MHGinTN; mylife; Admin Moderator

{MHGinTN}And then — “You were caught in your deceit when you tried to use the story of the Good Samaritan as if ‘you knew your Bible’, yet you weren’t even familiar enough with the story to know the Good Samaritan’s role in the story. You’re a deceiver.”
{Star Traveler}So you say, but I don’t. …

So, let’s take a look, to see if you were deceiving readers with your faux Bible lesson!

[Star Traveler: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2154244/posts?q=1&;page=305] You said — “He didn’t say anything about being nice to His enemies.” I think he did, in regards to the question of “Who is my neighbor” and who helped the injured Samaritan along the road (Samaritans were the enemies of Israel...).... I think Jesus made the point very well…

Was this merely a typo? Well, you repeated the error, so we can’t call the initial error a typo; you just aren’t what you pretend to be. But, in typical liars bluff not knowing when to keep quiet in your initial deceit, you tried to dismiss my calling you out:

To: Star Traveler
When you actually learn whom the Samaritans were and their relationship to the ‘in tribe’ of Jerusalem, perhaps you’ll have matured sufficiently to not make large religious claims based on flawed references.

Suffice it to say, if you studied the Bible and knew your facts …
It appears you have no knowledge of the Bible or knowledge of Jesus, and that’s a major problem in even understanding what Jesus said…

To: MHGinTN
And Jesus made that an express example of the question of “Who is my neighbor” in giving the example of helping the Samaritan who was passed by on the road, by everyone else. …
You obviously are like the Pharisees and the Sadducees who were always against Jesus and what He said, time and time again. I see we have them here on this forum, too — in spite of what the Bible tells Christians to do…

To: Star Traveler From your #305 post, you did't even know that the Good Smaritan was the one who stopped to help the injured traveler! You're a fraud, a typical poseur trying to quote the Bible to manipulate readers. Here is your exact sentence from #305:
Star Traveler: I think he did, in regards to the question of “Who is my neighbor” and who helped the injured Samaritan along the road (Samaritans were the enemies of Israel...)

You said — “You’re a fraud, a typical poseur trying to quote the Bible to manipulate readers.”
It’s the exact same thing I’ve been posting, from the Bible, since the beginning on Free Republic. You’ll find no difference from Clinton, to Bush to Obama... You just don’t like the content of what is being posted, and that’s your problem. But, I won’t be changing my posting.

The Samaritan was the person who helped. I’ll quote the section for you... Luke 10:25-37

369 posted on Thursday, December 25, 2008 9:54:35 PM by Star Traveler

Yes, I’d say you’re a fraud. You’ve tried to scam readers by quoting Bible verses you don’t even have enough familiarity with to know the role of the story participants, and you tried to twist your lie into stating something opposite of what you stated.

Show me the vault copy of his birth certificate and I’ll humbly beg America’s forgiveness. Otherwise, I remain unconvinced.

Yeah... sure “screaming” might work for “therapy” — but a “state law” will work for getting the birth certificate...

So, I guess I put you down for one of those who is opposed to getting a state law passed requiring a birth certificate be shown...

I ask that, because apparently some other FReepers here — don’t know — that there are people actually opposed to getting this kind of law going... LOL...

“We don’t need any new laws. Just enforce the ones on the books.”

I never posted that, LIAR

"President Obama is my president. I watched him take the oath of office. For me, the citizen ship sailed when the Reverend Wright ship sailed. Or when the Bill Ayers ship sailed."

With instincts, reasoning and judgments like yours it's no wonder a guy like Barry Soetoro got elected.

BTW---that MARXIST MUSLIM AMERICA-HATING ILLEGAL ALIEN will never be my President.

He will when you make it a state law..

Can I put you down, now... for working for that state law?
