Obama’s ineligibility for dummies - Comments
Canada Free Press ^ | April 2, 2011 | Lawrence Sellin

Posted on 04/01/2011 11:45:47 PM PDT by Ordinary_American

I think now is the time to do some community organizing of our own and begin a public "mass assault" on the issue to prove that we are not just a "small bunch of nuts".

One simple thing we can do easily, among hopefully many others, is to click "Trump" on any online Presidential candidate poll we encounter. Supporting Trump publicly will send a message.

I think we need to start identifying and executing tactics like that in support of a strategy of wanting to know the truth about Barack Obama now.

let's start out by all agreeing it is not about where he was born or if he is a citizen. The question is: Is he a natural born citizen? The anti’s try to confuse and diffuse the issue by mixing up the questions.

Donald Trump

Parents were
Frederick Christ Trump, born October 11, 1905 in Queens, NY, died June 1999 in Queens, NY
Mary Ann MacLeod, born May 10, 1912 in SCOTLAND, died August 7, 2000 in Queens, NY. Arrived in US October 5, 1935. Married January 1936. Naturalized as a US Citizen March 10, 1942.

My personal belief regarding this and any matter twisted by the Left is this. People just need to learn how to think critically. Unfortunately thanks to decades of Leftist education, that ability has been programmed out of most people under 40-50 AKA most of the population.

If we can get people to realize that they look really foolish simply subscribing to the herd mentality and take personal pride in thinking for themselves, the battle wins itself.

In fact, I’m 100 or so pages into writing a book on that very topic ;)

The real question is why every detail of his life, no matter how small, is hidden, buried, and guarded.

Works for me. There are so many things we can do every day to discredit, and at least, instill doubt about 0bama.

I was next to someone in a grocery store line who I instinctively knew was a liberal. I made a comment about how much milk had gone up and she agreed. I casually said “I’ve never felt so betrayed in my life. When I voted for 0bama, I expected things to change for the better. I’m really sick of how I was fooled. I really hope he gets back on track to helping the working people”. She looked at me and just smiled. I knew I’d hit a nerve. It works if done properly.

I like your idea of clicking Trump.

It should indeed send a message.

I’m toying with the idea of only supporting a candidate who is not afraid to question Obama’s eligibility, anyway.

Thanks, I hope to have it done within a couple months.

Although I don’t post much I’ve been here from 98/99 and have read FR daily. It is like being in a bubble. Most here think critically as a matter of course, but the real world ‘out there’ hasn’t clue 1 about the details we here take for granted. I spoke to a woman just the other day that didn’t realize there was a ‘birther issue’ and was horrified to learn that Obama might not be exactly who he claims to be. There are millions like her.

As you point out, a little finesse on our part can work wonders.

That’s exactly right. I always act as if I’m a sincere, disgruntled liberal. It works. I’ve also told some liberals they’d better get their butts out of their azzes and wake up.

FUBO!!!

Occam’s razor; because there’s things to hide, bury and guard.

The real question is why every detail of his life, no matter how small, is hidden, buried, and guarded.

The answer is really quite obvious. Obama is a radical leftist plant who is also a Muslim. He does not have a birth certificate because he was not born in Ohio and he is not a natural born citizen.

Obama does not have a traceable path because his life is a fiction, an "historic candidate" for the leftist media to pass off to a brainwashed society that can no longer think for themselves.

Let's test that hypothesis with a look at his foreign policy. When a country somewhat friendly to the United States (or at least causes us no direct problems) has internal strife which might be called a civil war, Obama sides with the rebels and endorses regime change.

When a regime has internal strife that is already hostile to the United States, Obama does nothing. Of course the best example of that is Iran.

The Egyptian rebels are reported to be alligned with the Muslim brotherhood who are radicals, the Libyan rebels are reported to be alligned with Al Qaeda. Imagine using the US military to put radical regimes into power in Egypt and Libya, right under the noses of the infidels.

Seems to check. Just about everything Obama does is exactly what a Muslim radical would do to hurt and ultimately destroy the Untied States.

As homework to be done independently, look at how Obama defies a court order to continue his ban on oil drilling.

For extra credit, look at how Obama handles immigration.

Funny you mention that ;)

Still in the process, please forgive typos

Chapter 8
Of Race and Razorblades
“Entities must not be multiplied beyond necessity.” - Father William of Ockham.

While the good 14th century friar quoted above may not be a household name and his literal quote may not festoon the bumper stickers of micro bus or monster truck, the principle that he, and it, established is indeed known far and wide without all the flowery language. The principle is ‘Occam’s Razor’ which in general terms says that ‘of two equivalent theories or explanations, all other things being equal, the simpler one is preferred.’

Over the centuries the Razor has guided the hands and minds of scientists and philosophers, the religious and the litigious in courtroom, laboratory and quiet contemplation alike, cutting away layers of gristle to get to the meat of the given matter. For purposes of this discussion, lets sit the liberal Left in the barber’s chair on the topic of race and racism in America and the world today.

Disgustingly so, the political Left has become synonymous with whipping out the proverbial ‘race card’ in any circumstance where they wish to minimize an opponent, opposing view, position, or in an all-out effort to shut down any given argument that threatens their agenda. Quoth the Klavan, “Just shut up.”

Let’s take the Obama campaign and presidency as our first example. From the moment rumors began to swirl about then-Senator Barack Obama’ s possible run for the presidency, stories filled the media questioning if ‘white America’ would ever accept a ‘black man’ as president. These stories served to instantly frame any opposition to Obama in racial terms and inoculate him from any meaningful scrutiny.

The Left has accused average citizens, reporters and politicians of racism who have asked to see (among others) Obama’s:

Certified copy of original birth certificate
Columbia University transcripts
Occidental College Transcripts
Columbia thesis paper
Campaign donor analysis
Harvard University transcripts
Illinois State Senate records
Illinois State Senate schedule
Law practice client list and billing records/summary
Medical record
Parent’s marriage Certificate
Record of baptism
Selective Service registration
Passport records
SAT and LSAT test scores
Punahou grade school records
Noelani Kindergarten records
Page 11 of Stanley Ann Dunham’s divorce decree.

To date, Obama has spent more than $1 million keeping these records sealed and otherwise hidden from public inspection.
Why exactly is it racist to have access to the very same documents that fill the Presidential Libraries from George Washington to GW Bush? Since all these men were white, it would actually be an easily defensible assertion to say that hiding Obama’s records is a racist act, not the other way around.

Occam’s simplest answer is that the accusation of racism by Obama supporters is a diversion because they do not wish to address the actual situation involved. Of course that leads to the question of ‘Why not’?

In fact, with any matter concerning disagreement or opposition to Obama or his policies, no matter how small or great, members of the Left always choose the race card as the first defense.

Obamacare resulted in non-stop media coverage and analysis’ over claimed racial opposition including the aforementioned and non-existent spitting incident.

The infamous Beer Summit created when a black professor pulled out the race card on a white police officer: The media deemed the cop racist for arresting a man breaking into a house (his own, but that was unknown at the time) and deemed the public racist for deeming the whole scenario an exercise in stupidity.

Opposition to the repeal of the Clinton era ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ policy was deemed by the media as both racist and homophobic.

Opposition to illegal aliens, sanctuary cities free healthcare and education for illegals, the entire state and population of Arizona (over S.B. 1070) and anyone who supported it was deemed racist by the media, Obama, the Democrat Party and a gaggle of A-F list Hollywood domestic policy specialists.

Opposition to global warming/EPA regulations? Racism.
Opposition to Black Panthers carrying billy clubs outside a polling place during a national election and threatening white voters on videotape? Racism.

Opposition to anti-Israel policy? Racism.

Opposition to the refusal to tap our own energy resources? Racism.

Opposition to adding Trillions of dollars to the national debt? Racism.

Opposition to governmental interference in the private business sector? Racism.

Opposition to anti-gun legislation? Racism.

Opposition to Michelle Obama’s food fight fiasco? Racism.

Opposition to the Obama’s taking a trip to India that set world records for narcissistic excess and cost taxpayers Billions of dollars during the country’s worst economic disaster in history? Racism.

Opposition to Obama loading up Air Force One with high-dollar campaign contributors for a trip to Rio where he launched a war against Libya and helped fund the Brazilian oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico he denies to American companies and citizens? Racism.

Opposition to building a Mosque at Ground Zero, site of the worst single act of Islamic terrorism in the history of the planet? Racism.

Opposition to foreign policy that provides funds to people and states that are known to back terrorists? Racism.
Opposition to Obama’s undeclared but rather obvious war on Israel? Racism.

Opposition to the administration’s overall foreign policy? Racism.

And the list just goes on and on. Not a literal day has gone by since Obama began his campaign where the Democrat Party, Leftist supporters and members of the media have not leveled the charge of racism against anyone not marching lockstep with Obama and/or his agenda. Again, Occam’s Razor cuts to the chase.
Since Obama was elected by white people (the numbers show definitively he would have been blown out by getting only the minority/black vote) Racism is the must UN-likely reason for opposition to Obama or his agenda. The most likely answer (and the one that happens to be the demonstrated truth) is that people are opposed to the policies that he and his administration are fostering on the public.

Every so often you’ll come across a talking head on TV or a newspaper/blog article that makes the claim that it isn’t Obama specifically that whitey doesn’t like, it’s black people as a whole. These claims usually come from the Al Sharpton/Jessie Jackson types or self-loathing white commentators. What this theory lacks, besides any basis in reality, is an entire country filled with evidence to the contrary.

Look again through the prizm of Occam’s Razor and ask yourself if white hatred of blacks causes:

Whites to spend hundreds of millions to billions of dollars annually buying CDs/MP3s and going to the concerts of non-white Rap/Hip-Hop groups.

Whites to spend hundreds of millions to billions of dollars annually patronizing the TV shows and movies staring non-white actors and actresses.

Whites to spend hundreds of millions to billions of dollars annually on sporting events, lionizing many of the black players by buying their jerseys and other memorabilia, wearing those jerseys proudly in public or hanging them prominently on the walls of their homes.

Whites to spend billions of dollars annually buying the products of companies who utilize black spokespersons for the products involved.

Whites who voluntarily send billions of dollars to aid in Africa and Haiti.

Whites to entrust their and their families’ healthcare to non-white physicians, nurses and related healthcare professionals.

Whites to work everyday in harmony with non-white co-workers under non-white bosses?

Whites to fight and die alongside non-white fellow soldiers in America’s military.

Whites across the political spectrum to vote for non-white candidates whose names don’t end with ‘Obama.’

Starting off this chapter I used the word ‘disgustingly’ and I uses it for a very specific reason. When dealing with the Leftist claims over white racism in comparison to reality, it is disgusting that Americans of every color allow them to continue spewing their garbage. How does Al Sharpton explain the fact that celebrities like James Earl Jones, Samuel L. Jackson, Morgan Freeman or Oprah Winfrey are among the most admired entertainers by white Americans?

How does Jessie Jackson explain the success of Bill Cosby or Beyonce in a country he claims is among the most racist on the planet? They can’t and they don’t. They, and those like them follow the Gobels rule of repeating the lie often enough until some believe it.

Is there racism in America? Of course. Human beings have always had an aversion to those ‘other’ than themselves. But it’s the truly evil among us that have learned how to exploit those differences and turn them to their own advantage.

This Obama experiment is going to be way to expensive to America. It was all out of hand well before this. The 12th Iman needs to vacate the White House.

... from a previous post

The anti American has summoned and started the assembly of the greatest force against America.

He has taken America into Jihad... and beyond.

The ME? ... consolidating it for his brethren with American fire power @ Americas expense.

His first speech in Cairo... His speech in Indonesia included references against the Jews.

He has more than shown himself to be on side with muslims. Heck! He shares their same mantra....death to America.

Lose the ME? I don’t thinkso....consolidate it in the name of Allah.

For Obama? Its the ..current policy from the white house.....the marginalization and destruction of America.

Obama , culturally never was an American as he carries many chips on his shoulder and as we see from his old culture at many levels. He feels for his Kenyan identity, he feels for his muslim identity developed during adolescence in Indonesia, and he feels his angst against white and America....DeSouza went to great lengths to detail this in his book.

Its all about death to America....death to the great satan!
from a previous posting, see second last paragraph...

His associations with the MB? Over 20 years of understudy to Wright and Farrakhan ties him to the people and philosophy, thus his endorsement of the coup... These are the same guys who are shooting at our troops.

His drive against America is demonstrated in his unfettered support of the OIC driven “UN”.

All his acts are supportive of Islam. They will march on Israel, and then guess what? YOU and ME.

Follow it out...

Be wary, wary aware ....and wary, wary afraid...get prepared for more creeping sharia...more than what is coming out of the White House today

The real question is “Who is this Barack Hussein Obama guy... really?” As it stands now, there is no corroborating documentation to prove his identity. He is quite literally, a complete unknown, and has demonstrated through both his words and his actions his utter contempt for the United States, its laws, institutions, national sovereignty, and security. So again, Who is this Barack Hussein Obama guy... really?

Greetings XHogPilot:

I see the Donnie Trump as an open source version of 0BombA; both possess a high level of name recognition thanks to fawning MSM coverage. Silver spoon Trump is for all practical purposes, just another limosine liberal democRat. At best, attention whore Trump would be another self-serving RINO.

Should we start a pool for when the MSM tells us Snookie ought to be Trump’s running mate?

Cheers,
OLA
