West speaks to a crowd of about 400 at Tuesday night's town hall meeting in Jupiter.
“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.
Maybe he’s a citizen maybe not. No one knows FOR CERTAIN.
He is mot definitely NOT A NATURAL BORN CITIZEN as the Constitution specifically requires.
Hah. The Republicans aren't even taking the steps to make sure of that. Their leaders are blocking attempts in multiple states to require a long form birth certificate to get on the 2012 ballot.
No, it's killing the innocent. Which the Constitution forbids.
"No person shall be deprived of life without due process of law.""No State shall deprive any person of life without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
Choose the time and place of your battles of be defeated.
West strikes me as a more than competent political battle strategist.
Blah Blah Blah...yeah that really is an argument that will win 2012.
Unfortunately West won’t say it...but the powers that be in both parties will never let the truth out on this. It is a death sentence for a ton of people if it did get out. They just won’t let it ever happen.
Any state that passes the birth certificate requirement and is enacted before the 2012 election you watch Obama will just not look to get those electoral votes.
Solly Cholly. I’ll let you bang your head on that brick wall. It’s the equivalent of the gov’t deciding it can choose whom to kidnap and impregnate. The gov’t can’t and neither can the Ted Bundy’s of the world. Not in the real world anyway.
“Secondly, who really cares at this point?”
I do.
HEY FRIENDS!
Just remember one thing. This came from the Palm Beach Post! If anyone would quit supporting Allen West due to this Palm Beach interview, then you must not have really been a supporter in the first place. The Palm Beach Post just LOVED Ron Klien! :)
To me, Obama is secondary to the actual issue which is the loophole in the constitution that never requires proof. The constitution requires that he be a natural born citizen but leaves it up to the candidate’s party to declare him eligible.
I think the constitutional loophole can be closed in the individual state by a proof of eligibility requirement but it can’t be all about Obama.
I’m also concerned about the way liberals seem to bring it up when it starts to get quiet. After all, Cass Sunstein once wrote about leading political enemies astray with conspiracy theories and false conspiracy theories. When my congressman was asked about it, the guy who asked turned out to be a moonbat.
Let us assume, for the sake of the argument, that Barrack is perfectly ineligible for office in all ways possible and imagined. Every way that anybody across the US of A and around the world for all time immemorial can suggest how Obama is ineligible and criminal is perfectly true.
As long as he is president, you are not going to find the evidence you are looking for and those most capable of giving evidence are not going to speak up, so Obama is protected.
You’re not going to beat the Dems and Obama by finding key documents that show him to be ineligible and possibly traitorous.
He needs to be beaten on policies and the disasterous consequences that those policies are having on your country. That is what will beat him.
Once he is beaten and out of office, those using him will no longer protect him, then you will have what you are looking for.
So where do you suggest we go from here? Or are you of the fatalist group, that the U.S. is already in its death throes and why bother trying?
Naw I think some these dorks want to “win” by losing..
So your opinion of Congressman Allen West dropped as a result of reading an article done by a reporter from the newspaper that LOVED RON KLEIN! So be it! But you are dropping support of Allen West for nothing.
Not according to any legal construct in the Constitution. Sec 1.5 just says the President must be natural born. It doesnt define natural born and it doesnt express who has to prove it.
It’s an argument that may be needed to save the world before or after 2012. You take things too much for granted.
There is actually no conspiracy about his birth. It really doesn’t matter if he was born in Hawaii.
He can not be a natural born citizen since he was not born of 2 US citizens. He is a dual citizen either way. If his father was a naturalized citizen, then he could be considered natural born if born in Hawaii. But, that is another story! His father was of British citizenry which makes bambi not natural born.
Or Herman Cain. They probably would have, if they didn't jump to run for president or senator right away.
So, we’re being told by West that we shouldn’t care if the POTUS can prove he meets the most basic requirements of the Constitution, and that we shouldn’t care if the Constitution is followed when it comes to the most important reason for the existence of government, which is to protect the unalienable right to life of the individual person.
Just another useless false flag Republican. Bleh.
Obama may be President legally, but he’s acting like the Party Animal in Chief.
