The Eligibility Issue
The left likes to call it the “birther” issue. The term birther is used as a derisive term by the left, much as truther is. Of course the difference is truthers beliefs are based on a paranoid ideology, where as the birther issue is based on facts.
I prefer to call it the eligibility issue, not the birther issue. Whether you agree or not, the people who are pushing the eligibility issue are on our side. It is certainly counter-productive to deride them like liberals do.
Recently a whole stream of Republicans have come out, at the prompting of the drive by media, to reassure us that Obama is a citizen and oh, yes, he is a Christian too.
Last Sunday, at the prodding of David Gregory on Meet the Press, or as Rush likes to call it, Meet the depressed, Boehner said, the State of Hawaii had said he was born there, that was good enough for him.
Karl Rove, not a friend of the Tea Party, pushed the RINO line that Obama is a citizen and Sarah Palin, at a meeting in Long Island, a few days ago, also denounced the eligibility issue. Palin ended her remarks on the subject by saying, “let’s stick with what really matters.”
This issue does matter.
There are three variations on the eligibility issue. Two are based on undisputed facts. The third is in dispute.
The most commonly reported of the eligibility challenges is the claim that Obama was actually born in Kenya, not Hawaii. I believe, based on the available evidence, that it is more likely than not, Obama was actually born in Hawaii. Obama has spent a lot of time and (other people’s) money, keeping his original birth certificate out of sight.
Why?
Jack Cashill is one of my favorite writers and he has a theory which I think makes sense, that Obama was in fact born in Hawaii, but there is something else on his birth certificate that would destroy the myth of Barack Obama. (See his website, Cashill.com). In the law, there is a presumption that if a party has exclusive access to a piece of evidence and will not release it, the evidence must be adverse to their position.
The second eligibility issue is the claim that because Barack Obama’s father was a Kenyan, a British subject at the time of Obama’s birth, he is not a natural born citizen.
The third is the argument that because Barack Obama was adopted as a child by an Indonesian and moved to Indonesia, he is not an American citizen. Under the law at that time, if an American child was adopted by a citizen of another country and moved to that country, he lost his citizenship. He could regain his citizenship by applying at an American Embassy when he was 18, but would then be treated as a naturalized citizen and thus ineligible to be President.
What is stunning about all of this is the mainstream Republican reaction to the eligibility issues.
The RINOs turn their noses up at the people who want the answers, which, incidentally is 60% of Republican voters. They turn their noses up at the Tea Party movement. Yet, they do not take a moment to consider why this is important.
If Barack Obama is proved to be ineligible to be President, everything he has done is wiped out. Obamacare is gone. The START treaty is gone. The liberal lunatics Obama has appointed to the Federal Judiciary, including the two he has put on the Supreme Court are gone.
Much of the damage Obama has done to this country can be undone. Unfortunately, the Country Club Republicans remain clueless. In their minds, the Democrats are simply the lower class versions of themselves. They do not understand that if the party of treason has its way, America will be forever changed and ultimately destroyed.
The Courts have so far brushed aside all of the eligibility claims. None have been addressed on the merits under the claim that Americans lack standing to challenge the issue. Recently, the Supreme Court has given some indication it may consider one of the issues. We can only hope.
What are the chances of success? Who knows?
Why do football teams run the flea flicker play? It does not work all of the time, but when it does, the results are spectacular. Why should conservatives all hope this works out? Because this wipes out almost everything the Obama regime has done. We get a do over.
You would think, even the RINOs who want to denigrate the eligibility issue could figure this one out.

Letter
Donald Trump Responds
Published: April 8, 2011
To the Editor:
Re “Donald Trump Gets Weirder,” by Gail Collins (column, April 2):
Even before Gail Collins was with the New York Times, she has written nasty and derogatory articles about me. Actually, I have great respect for Ms. Collins in that she has survived so long with so little talent. Her storytelling ability and word usage (coming from me, who has written many bestsellers), is not at a very high level. More importantly, her facts are wrong!
As far as her comments on the so-called “birther” issue, I don't need Ms. Collins's advice. There is a very large segment of our society who believe that Barack Obama, indeed, was not born in the United States. His grandmother from Kenya stated, on tape, that he was born in Kenya and she was there to watch the birth. His family in Honolulu is fighting over which hospital in Hawaii he was born in-they just don't know.
He has not been able to produce a “birth certificate” but merely a totally unsigned “certificate of live birth”-which is totally different and of very little significance. Unlike a birth certificate, a certificate of live birth is very easy to obtain. Equally of importance, there are no records in Hawaii that a Barack Hussein Obama was born there-no bills, no doctors names, no nurses names, no registrations, no payments, etc. As far as the two notices placed in newspapers, many things could have happened, but some feel the grandparents put an ad in order to show that he was a citizen of the U.S. with all of the benefits thereto. Everybody, after all, and especially then, wanted to be a United States citizen.
The term used by Ms. Collins-“birther”-is very derogatory and is meant in a derogatory way. Had this been George Bush or almost any other President or Presidential aspirant, they would never have been allowed to attain office, or would have been thrown out of office very quickly.
For some reason, the press protects President Obama beyond anything or anyone I have ever seen. What they don't realize is that if he was not born in the United States, they would have uncovered the greatest "scam" in the history of our country. In other words, they would become the hottest writer since Watergate, or beyond.
Open your eyes, Gail, there's at least a good chance that Barack Hussein Obama has made mincemeat out of our great and cherished Constitution!
DONALD J. TRUMP

Good news perhaps on the Judicial side:
http://justpiper.com/2010/10/our-new-dictator-may-be-in-deep-troubl...
"* Second, sources state that the Roberts court has quietly accepted information concerning discrepancies in Obama’s history that raise serious questions about his eligibility for the office of President.
The charge goes far beyond the birth certificate issue. This information involves possible fraudulent use of a Social Security number in Connecticut, while Obama was a high school student in Hawaii.
And that is only the tip of the iceberg."
After the trouncing we took on the miniscule budget reduction, I hope everyone can see that the only real weapon we have in our arsenal is the removal of Obama, through Supreme court ruling him ineligible to be President. It is not a technicality and the if they hear the case the outcome is certain.

Heads-Up-- Please Come and/or Publicize
Keyes, Drake, et al, vs Obama Hearing!
This is an appeal of the infamous "Judge Carter case," with plaintiffs Alan Keyes, Wiley Drake, Capt. Pamela Barnett and dozens of others, dismissed on extremely flimsy grounds and now with an upcoming hearing.
The Social Security stuff was originally developed by private investigator Neil Sankey, formerly a Scotland Yard Investigator and submitted in multiple cases. He wrote me that he will be at this hearing. We have also invited Donald Trump, biut that is along shot. If he comes, it will be a HUGE media circus.
Please re-post this and encourage your associates to attend or picket the May 2 hearing in Pasadena, CA

I can't wait to see the evidence presented. I no it is the 9th Circus, but you just never know, when the court will permit the truth to be told.

This hearing will just be to determine if the appeal is to accepted and go forward, which would not happen at the session. Next, the judge would decide whether to authorize discovery and schedule an actual trial.
It will be interesting to see who shows up and what is said. Action outside the courtroom may be more interesting than inside. Interest is far higher now than it was in October 2009, when the last hearing was held, which I attended. Obama was counting on the public forgetting about this. But thanks to people like Taitz, Apuzzo, Kerchner, Hemmeway, Lakin, Manning, Barnett, Turner, LaRoque Farah, Corsi, etc. it was not allowed to die. Now we have Trump coming out of left field and really raising hell, for whatever motvation. I LOVE it! He has made Rush into an instant "Birther." It remains to be seen if any other politicians and media creatures have any integrity and guts at all. My 2012 political support will be partially based upon their actions.
As far as I know, no eligibility case has ever ben heard on its merits, nor has discovery been authorized. Obama's lawyer, Robert Bauer, really earned his $2MM, or whatever. Bauer, by the way is now White House Counsel and just happens to be married to Anita Dunn. One of Bauer's attorneys went to work as Judge Carter's Clerk a few weeks before the case was rather abruptly dismissed. All this was duly noted in Orly Taitz's appeal. There were other striking irregularities.

After two years, this long awaited trial may hear oral arguments. Here is a statement from one of the plaintiffs, Captain Pamela Barnett.
http://obamareleaseyourrecords.blogspot.com/2011/03/barnettkeyesdra...
"I will be at the oral hearing with my attorney Orly Taitz, Esq. with U.S. Constitution bells and whistles on!! Generally speaking, the courts have been criminally negligent in throwing out any case that challenges Obama's eligibility. Citizens - 0, Courts - 78. Case law and historical meaning are clear in requiring that both parents be citizens to be considered natural born and eligibile to be POTUS. American jurisprudence is clear that Obama is a Usurper and it's time for the courts to finally act!"
