Born in the USA: NRO Takes on Birther Nonsense
National Review Online ^

Posted on 07/28/2009 2:43:39 PM PDT by RuyDiaz

If I may appeal to our good friends pinning their hopes on this birther nonsense, please read up on the nature of conspiracy theories. Best regards;

Now an excerpt:

Pres. Barack Obama has a birthday coming up, a week from Tuesday. We hope he takes the day off—or even the whole week, the briefest of respites from his busy schedule of truncating our liberties while exhausting both the public coffers and our patience. The president’s birthday comes to mind because we recently spent some time looking at a photograph of his birth certificate, being held by Joe Miller of Factcheck.org, who took the time to examine it. President Obama was born on August 4, 1961, at 7:24 p.m, in Honolulu County, Hawaii, on the island of Oahu. The serial number on his birth certificate is 010641. Baby Barack’s birth was not heralded, as some of his partisans have suggested, by a star in the east, but it was heralded by the Honolulu Star, as well as the Honolulu Advertiser, each of which published birth announcements for young Mr. Obama.

Nonsense it is to be the 99th posting of the same article. That is, this bitter essay of sadsack distraction has been posted time and time again today.

Nope. It just proves that conservatives aren’t a bunch of lockstep morons like the left.

nope. good try, though. one hides things because one has things to hide... lies, frauds, criminal activities, funding from terrorists, etc.

let’s look at this closer..... why would he spent nearly a million dollars paying off people to keep his records sealed? He is a COUNTERFEIT person.

...there is a fair amount of crossover between those fixated on Obama’s birth certificate and the 9/11 “truthers” — lawyer Phil Berg, for instance, is a player in both worlds.

There is nothing that President Obama’s coterie would enjoy more than to see the responsible Right become a mirror image of the loopy Left circa 2003.

The fundamental fiction is that Obama has refused to release his “real” birth certificate. This is untrue. The document that Obama has made available is the document that Hawaiian authorities issue when they are asked for a birth certificate. There is no secondary document cloaked in darkness, only the state records that are used to generate birth certificates when they are requested.

I agree, which is why I won't march in lockstep with the Birther BSers.

The hallmark of a conspiracy theory is that a lack of evidence for the theory is taken as yet more evidence for the theory. Indeed, the maddening thing about dealing with conspiracy hobbyists of this or any sort is the ever-shifting nature of their argument and their alleged evidence: Never mind the birth certificate, his step-grandmother said he was born in Kenya! (No, she didn’t.)

Birth in Hawaii doesnt automatically qualify him - its whether or not his mother was qualified to convey citizenship to him.

Whatever the case - produce the document and make the naysayers look like a$$es if there is nothing to hide.

“The president’s birthday comes to mind because we recently spent some time looking at a photograph of his birth certificate,”

Not only arrogant, but stupid.

The writer’s “we” acts as if this information was ignored by questioners.

The matter of the original BC is becoming a matter of historical importance. Why shouldn’t it be examined?

At least I was an adult with my comment. Too bad you couldn’t manage that much.

If bambi had released the original long form birth certificate we would know what hospital he was born in and the doctor who delivered him. What Hawaii has released is not the long form because it does not have this info on it. I have my long form in my files at home and it has all that info on it.

Hey, bambi didn’t withdraw Major Cook’s orders for nothing, he is running from actually producing the goods. Fortunately there are several more soldiers willing to take up the fight and bambi will either have to rescind their orders or go through the court process. If bambi has no military he has no presidency.

This cretin doesn’t even know for sure who his DNA father was. If he doesn’t even know who knocked up his mother, how the hell would he know where he was born, whether or not his mother was a US citizen then or ever?

Because we need to be concerned about what the media thinks of us.

When you haven't got any weight of intellect, you always go for the "personal" attack.

Nothing "not adult" about my saying I don't follow fools.

There is nothing that the Establishment, Left and Right, fears more than a Constitutional Crisis. I don’t know why that is but I long ago noticed this fear in none other than Bill Buckley himself. When Buckley pronounced leaning back in his telebision chair “That would be a Constitutional Crisis!” that marked the end of the discussion.
