Allen West to birthers: focus on Obama policies instead
Palm Beach Post ^ | February 23rd, 2011 | by George Bennett

Posted on 03/16/2011 5:38:50 PM PDT by EternalVigilance

West speaks to a crowd of about 400 at Tuesday night's town hall meeting in Jupiter.

JUPITER — Toward the end of a 90-minute audience Q&A session at Tuesday night’s town hall meeting, U.S. Rep. Allen West, R-Plantation, was asked by former Indian Trail Improvement District board member Christopher Karch whether President Obama is “legally there or not.”

“Who is going to tell us who this man is? Is he legally there or not?” said Karch. “What are we going to do to ensure that, if he isn’t legally there, it doesn’t happen again?”

Said West: “I will tell you this: That is the dog chasing its tail. The most important thing is, it’s the policies. That’s what we have to be standing on.”

The crowd of about 400 applauded, but Karch wasn’t satisfied.

“But if he’s not, it’s treason,” Karch said.

Said West: “You will waste more time worrying yourself to death about that instead of making sure that you expand the majority in the House of Representatives, you win back the U.S. Senate so that you can stand against the policies that are emanating out of the White House…

“What is your objective? Your objective is getting back to a constitutional republic principles and values. If you spend your time worrying about someone’s citizenship, you will never get to that objective.”

West didn’t offer his own opinion on Obama’s citizenship during the public forum. So PostOnPolitics asked him after the meeting.

“He is a citizen. He’s the president. I mean, that’s all I know. I am concerned about his policies,” West said.

You mean he doesn’t?
Who doesn't what?
Your reply is nonsensical.

I'll try, however, to answer your query.
...Charlie Manson (the he) gets to pick the women for his spawn, regardless of their willingness. (the what)
Charles Manson is in prison and doesn't get to do much of anything, much less choose women for his spawn.
And as far as willingness goes I'm sure that if any members of the Manson Family were still able to bear children they would willingly do so. He wouldn't have to force anybody.

Aside...your anal fixation is disturbing.

I also think we were correct in dropping nukes on Japan, despite the innocence of most everyone killed.

It is a possibility, and not an actuality right now.
So nobody currently serving in Congress has ever been asked to show evidence of their eligibility? That's breaking news!

Who verifies it? Who verified any President’s credentials? Does it even happen?
Well look at that. You don't know the answers but you do know the questions to ask.

Have some more rope.

“He is a citizen. He’s the president. I mean, that’s all I know. I am concerned about his policies,” West said.

What part of that is not easily to be understood?

Zero's the president until Jan 2013 or until a majority of the House and 67 senators say he isn't (hint to D'Onofrio and Dr. Taitz: the Nine don't count). That's the reality, and the birfers who are stuck on stupid and say otherwise soil themselves with their drool and distract from the policy debate.

To win in 2012, we need a guy with a clue. The clue-challenged birfers are unwitting tools of Obama! Col. West, on the other hand, knows how to keep his eye on the ball.

I’m using Charlie Manson as an example. THere are thousands just like him roaming free. And the little 14 year old neighbor girl that he covets has to bear his child if he’s “bold” enough to decide he needs to rape her? You’re nuts.

Yes, we’ve heard your view that nobody is responsible for verifying the qualifications of a prospective POTUS.

No, thank you. You stand your ground like nobody on this forum. I wish we had more like you.

Your equating of killing in a just war and the killing of completely innocent children of our own nation is noted.

How many pregnant women were killed, along with their babies?

IMO you've made a poor choice for an example.

I doubt it. Charlie was pretty unique.

And the little 14 year old neighbor girl that he covets has to bear his child if he’s “bold” enough to decide he needs to rape her?
You have the audacity to call me nuts with such outlandish hyperbole?! Simply amazing!

Let's turn this around.
So the unborn child has to be murdered in the womb to ease our collective guilt that rapists exist in our society despite our contempt of such criminal acts?

By the way, I have a half sister who was the product of the rape of my mother in a hospital. Thankfully, that was a few years before Blackmun and his black-robed cohort dehumanized human children, and she wasn’t considered evil “spawn” and eradicated like you would advise.

She was raised by a Christian family who loved her and she has raised three children of her own, one of whom has served in the United States Air Force. She also has a beautiful grandson.

But, according to you, it would have been fine to have wiped out that entire blood line because there was a criminal in the family tree.

You’ll have choice. Your wife can carry Charlie’s kid.

Go read up on just war, and then get back to me.

A criminal in the family tree. Probably just a horse thief or a dope peddler, right?

How many of those pregnant women were raped and impregnated by Charlie Manson?

If we're going for the absurd then I want to play too!

Well if they were, you’d volunteer to be a human shield, apparently. Have at it next time we drop a hellfire onto a taliban safe house.

If you want the Charlie Mansons of the world to populate your family tree, have at it.
