Newt Gingrich routinely fields questions during his campaign stops and during the event showcasing Art Laffer's endorsement, a woman who had been sititing on stage behind him asked Gingrich for clarification about President Obama's country of birth.
SNIP
"All I can report is the state of Hawaii has certified that he was born there," Gingrich continued.
Gesturing to his wife beside him, he said, "We both were with a taxi driver one day who showed us the hospital. There is every reason to believe he is a citizen of the United States. The fact that he's already a terrible president, we don't have to go beyond that and try to find something beyond that."

What do people want him to say? This has been heard by numerous courts, it has been vastly investigated, they have produced a birth certificate certified by the state of hawaii and the list goes on. He answered the issue with class and also dinged Obama pretty good while he was doing it. The birth certificate debacle is a non-starter so why give it any time?
You know there is a wonderful teaching from the bible that goes something like this... :One that does not learn from the past os DOOMED to make the same mistakes of the past.”
Kingdoms/countries are not defeated by citizenry, they are usurped by foreigners and then the citizenry is put under bondage unless the citizenry stands against ALL foreign usurpation. This is just a plain simple fact of history since man began to walk on the earth. So in the words of our most prominent founding father and greatest military leader and president in my eyes... http://avalon.law.yale.edu/18th_century/washing.asp
If, in the opinion of the people, the distribution or modification of the constitutional powers be in any particular wrong, let it be corrected by an amendment in the way which the Constitution designates. But let there be no change by usurpation; for though this, in one instance, may be the instrument of good, it is the customary weapon by which free governments are destroyed. The precedent must always greatly overbalance in permanent evil any partial or transient benefit, which the use can at any time yield…
As avenues to foreign influence in innumerable ways, such attachments are particularly alarming to the truly enlightened and independent patriot. How many opportunities do they afford to tamper with domestic factions, to practice the arts of seduction, to mislead public opinion, to influence or awe the public councils. Such an attachment of a small or weak towards a great and powerful nation dooms the former to be the satellite of the latter.
Against the insidious wiles of foreign influence (I conjure you to believe me, fellow-citizens) the jealousy of a free people ought to be constantly awake, since history and experience prove that foreign influence is one of the most baneful foes of republican government...
Real patriots who may resist the intrigues of the favorite are liable to become suspected and odious, while its tools and dupes usurp the applause and confidence of the people, to surrender their interests…
Friend or Foe, Capitulator or Patriot ... take your pick! Those are the only two choices we have is we wish to regain our country back and put the federal government back in its 10 mile radius box where it belongs!
I’m not a person who exclusively argues the dual citizenship issue. I don’t believe Obama was born in Hawaii, and the reason I don’t believe it is because he has now produced 2 forgeries and the HDOH has been caught falsifying their records on Obama’s behalf.
If Roberts knew that and still refused to hear any cases regarding Obama’s eligibility, would you still respect his faithfulness to the Constitution?
That's the only part I'll agree with!!!
If they expressly target the 2016 election for their interpretation of Natural Born Citizen, it will be taken more seriously. It's not an unreasoable discussion to have.
Farah's birth certificate crusade relegated the entire birther movement to kooksville.
George Santayana, not the Bible
David Ramsey might be obscure to you, but he was President of the Unites States in Congress Assembled before George Washington became POTUS.
Newt's focus doesn't take away from a alternate possibly legitimate attack from others. Unlike Coulter and the liberal media, you never hear Newt bashing concerned citizens who question Zero's eligibility.
Trump’s support dropped because he said he would check out the genuineness of Obama’s posted supposed long-form and then didn’t. Obama filled the news cycles with the Bin Laden killing before the diligent researchers could sufficiently document the proofs of the forgery. When people saw that Trump wasn’t going to do right on the issue, lots of them gave up on anybody ever having the balls to actually deal with the truth. The person we hoped would be real with us turned out to be a PC phony, just like everybody else.
And that’s where we’re at today. We’re all about as excited about the candidates as if we got to choose between amoebic dysentery and scarlet fever. Exciting to choose which way to watch the life be drained from your body while anybody who could do something about it is too apathetic or “cool” to actually do it.
Oh Fig Newton took a taxi driver’s word for it huh? BWAAAHAHAHA. This is the same fool who kept his mouth shut like the rest of them when foreign born Panama boy Johnny McCain ran for the Office he was ineligible for. They don’t care about Natural Born Citizenship. Hawaii officials and HI Dept of Health have made so many conflicting statements how are they even credible now? If Zero was actually born in Hawaii, none of the actions undertaken and info withheld by him reflect that, his past history could have been easily resolved long ago. Everything hidden is for a reason.
First I’ll point out that you remain an absolute ass in spite of the fact that I”ve gone out of my way to point out common ground we have. This makes you typical of ALL NBCers and thus, you hurt your cause.
Second, I would imagine that almost everyone in congress had that ceremonial position that Ramsay had just like they do today when the Speaker is not in the chamber or the VP is not in the Senate, etc.
Third, there are many original intent constructionists who DO NOt AGREE with you and they are alive and they have real names not screen names. So once again, I ask you, is there anyone who is alive and who has cred who agrees with you?
If not, go away.
“All I can report is the state of Hawaii has certified that he was born there,” Gingrich continued.
That is all he can report.......As an after thought why wasn’t this thread titled, Gingrich refers to Obama as a terrible president?
That would have showed he was paying attention rather than simply swallowing the media hook, line, and sinker. Like he swallowed global warming hook, line, and sinker.
I wonder how many of these candidates ever look beyond the MSM. I know Sarah Palin must, because she at least knew that Obama has spent mega-money to keep from showing his BC. Maybe that’s just because of the Trump thing. But I really wonder how many of these people have any clue how treasonous and inaccurate the media really is.

Every member of the Supreme Court, every member of congress, every member of the Joint Chiefs, most members of the DOD, CIA, FBI, Secret Service and state run media, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, PBS, NPR, MSNBC, Fox and print news, knows that Barack Hussein Obama does NOT meet Article II – Section I constitutional requirements for the office he holds. By his own biography, there is NO way he can pass the test. The hard evidence is so far beyond overwhelming, it is ridiculous.
(snip)
But not ONE member of America’s most powerful people will dare confront Obama and his anti-American cabal on the subject. The Constitution does NOT stand.

Half of the people you expect to stop this insanity are quiet co-conspirators in the silent coup. The other half is paralyzed by fear, motivated only by political self-preservation.
(Snip)
Americans keep asking what they can do because they see that none of their leaders are doing anything to stop the demise of their beloved country. It’s the right question, because those leaders are NOT going to stop this thing.

WHO WILL SAVE FREEDOM?
A brave few… This is how it was in the beginning, how it has always been and how it will be.
(Snip)
DR. ORLY TAITZ, Phil Berg and Gary Kreep, ALL OF WHOM HAVE MADE DEFENDING THE CONSTITUTION AND THE AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE A PERSONAL AMBITION, IN THE ABSENCE OF ANY CONSTITUTION LEADERSHIP.

A PRECIOUS FEW, BUT THEY EXIST… IF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE FAIL TO GET BEHIND THESE BRAVE FEW WHO ARE SEEKING PEACEFUL REDRESS, ALL THE PEACEFUL OPTIONS WILL EVAPORATE AS IF THEY NEVER EXISTED. WE WILL RETURN TO A PRE-1776 AMERICA OVERNIGHT..
Which one? There have been two different ones designated after years of everyone claiming that they did not know.
Gingrich just broke my heart!
He is not brave enough to tell the truth!
He knows the issue is whether obama is a natural born citizen constitutionally eligible to be the president! Obama might be a US citizen if he really was born in Hawaii, but that is not the issue! Just because he was voted in by people who did not know he was ineligible does not negate the fact that he has usurped the presidency and must be removed.
Congress, justice, most people validate his legitimacy by opposing his policies/appointees rather than dealing with him as the usurper. The candidates run against him as if he is constitutionally qualified.
A usurper can/should be removed by congress. They don’t have to run against him if they have the gut to disqualify him! And they have the constitution on their side!
Noooooo, they have to treat him as if he is qualified and insist in ‘voting’ him out. If that is not the dumbest way to fight!
He is NOT a terrible president. He is NOT the president!
So freaking frustrating!
None of them deserves our support!
“You clearly are a female with some kind of Ann envy.”
That is one of the most obnoxious assumptions I have read on FR. Where did you learn to ‘argue’ w such ‘omniscient’ insights? DU?
So what? She believe that Obama was born in Hawaii, she’s a heretic. Burn her! Burn her!
100 Senators and 9 Supreme Court Justices have turned their backs on this question. Stinks.
