Thanks to Donald Trump—real-estate mogul, reality-TV star, and possible candidate for the Republican presidential nomination—a fringe conspiracy theory is now front and center in American politics: the claim that President Barack Obama might not be a natural-born American citizen.
By focusing on Mr. Obama's birth certificate, Mr. Trump has garnered a lot of attention and some support. According to the latest CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey, among Republicans he is now tied with Mike Huckabee as the most popular prospective GOP presidential nominee. If responsible Republicans don't speak out immediately against Mr. Trump's gambit, it will do substantial damage both to their party and to American politics...

Your point is accurate.
If we're to assume that these Republicans are right in their criticism, then we must assume that we can take Mr. Obama at his word.
That being the case, we must also assume that Mr. Obama is right that Republicans (and Bush) are responsible for the rotten economy, only representing the rich and big business. Again, it's just taking Mr. Obama at his word.
I haven't read Sowell's book, but in the same vein you have Paul Johnson's "Intellectuals" and "Creators" (two different books), which IMO tell the tale. I'll give Sowell's book a look (rhyme NOT deliberate!!), and recommend (highly!) the other two.
Instruction from the ruling class. Note dismissive use of the word “birther.”
This article was likely solicited by NewsCorp so as to provide them an immunity charm against the Regime’s desperate throes as this breaks on them.
Thanks, I looked up Paul Johnson’s works at our local library, and there are a bunch that I’d like to look at. Thanks for the recommendation.
Sowell doesn’t write from a Christian perspective, but it looks like Johnson does.
You forgot he is probably a muslum.
Also, how does a “D” student which is probable(why else would his transcrips be sealed) get into Columbia or Harvard Law ?
We heard all about how smart Al Gore was. The fact is Obama is the ultimate Grifter.
"Shown?" How have they shown? Could he give the web address where I can SEE it shown? I can find a certification of live birth all over the place, but I cannot find a certificate of live birth.

Anyone who refers to upholding the integrity of the eligibility clause of the Constitution as a fringe conspiracy issue is a complete fraud in regards to being taken seriously at all.
We have already seen the eligibility be raised and taken seriously when it was a Republican (McCain) who was being challenged and we all know that beyond Obama not providing any actual Birth Certificate that he has also fought in Court to conceal all of his past records.
So now we cannot raise the issue because it is a democrat? Chuck Schumer is on tape demanding that McCain release ALL of his past records if he wants to run for President. Yet nothing has been done to hold Obama to the same standard.
If anyone from within the GOP would have addressed this issue and dealt with it then it would be over already but instead we get these bizarre statements from conservatives and Republicans insisting that we all ignore the issue and ignore the Constitution.
Thank God...I was afraid I’d hallucinated that....LOL
Looks like the pressure is getting to Nancy, and it’s not because she is in the minority in Congress.
ALL of the dim leadership (and the republican leadership) should be brought to justice.

WRKO in Boston,Howie Carr’s station, just had Phillip Berg as a guesst on the Tom and Todd program. He was terrific and they gave him lots of time. They all agreed that what we need here is a ‘Deep Throat”. Trump certainly has the money to encourage someone to drop a dime on the imposter. Berg really feels that Obama will be outed.

Thanks for the heads-up... I believe so also.

Rush is quite fluent in the COTUS and I strongly believe that he knew the definition of natural born Citizen at the time or certainly his awesome inquisitiveness would have compelled him to find out.
Rush fully understood that obozo was a Dual citizen, and thus not Constitutionally eligible, aside from unverified birthplace. I was truly expecting him at that time to carefully explain all of it.
I've been listening since the first month he went national and love him. This is the only time I've ever been disappointed in him.
Good point. Moreover, there is no reason why the friends of freedom cannot have more than one good issue going at once. We can hammer Obama on the economy while we are also asking what he has to hide.
