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.

Congress to mandate homosexual information in schoolrooms, unless ...These advocates are the equivalent of the Pink
Nazis; people who are ruthless, to the point of bestiality, including murder. Why now you ask? Its to complete the
destruction of society, a society that rejected those that practiced aberrant behavior of sex by men with men and the same of women with women. Why in the classroom? Homosexuality is not an accident at birth, but rather a learned impressment upon another. It happens in the early years into adolescents. That is why these Pink Nazis are going
forward with the force of law to convert the minds of youth in what has long been described as evil. The below reference
states the action required. Ask your president if he favors the passage of the bills now before Congress.

It is incredible of all the hidden identities Obama has, his homosexuality is not clear to all Americans. I know his pro-gay policies are unmistakable, but why are his myriad interludes not known? If we can put Cain under the microscope, why can't we take an honest look at the Resident.

There are powerful people working behind the scenes to protect Obama because he is carrying out their Agenda.
Look at the Larry Sinclair trial where the Judge dismissed the lawsuit against him because the plaintiff had no evidence to prove that he didn't take a $750,000 bribe from Obama's people to rig Sinclair's lie detector test so he would fail.
Sinclair was told this by a source and a reporter backed up Sinclair's claim because he talked to the source and it was true that Obama bribed the defendant to make sure Sinclair failed the test.
Do you see this anywhere on the news? I don't. But I think it's up to us to spread this around. What's Obama afraid of if he feels there's nothing wrong with being gay? Oh, that he was married to Michelle at the time of the "alleged" rendezvous with Sinclair?
Also, couldn't his handlers find an NBC to be their figurehead? Just like, couldn't the DNC find an NBC out of 300 million people, or couldn't the RNC find a VP out of the myriad of GOP politicians to run with Romney? And we're not even sure of Romney's NBC status.
You can't make this stuff up. Unreal. And these lies are perpetrated on us citizens and what's being done about it? Nothing!

Royce take a read at what the Pink Nazis are doing in Kansas. I think they got their empowerment through Obozzo. The media makes it a crime to attack a homosexual. In the matter at hand I think the wife has to show she has been injured by the husband to get press attention. As you recall the media did not press Clinton's departures nor his wife. Some media jerk will make it that polygamy is a crime whereas recreational sex is healthy. I showed in a post here that the homosexuals seek to indoctrinate young school children.

I watched O'Reilly last night to see what else he would do to support the crimes of obama. He had Dennis Miller on and they were both pushing for Rubio to be vice president. If the republicans run a person that is not a natural born citizen then obama would be ok. I will not vote for a person that I am sure is not a NBC. I will just stay home and I won't be the only one. What is freedom without a constitution to back it up? Evidently obama means more to O' Reilly than does the constitution. Does anyone have any information wheather or not O' Reilly is or is not one of obamas gay lovers?

Wayne, O'Reilly is a raging hetrosexual. He is a predator of women as evidenced by him settling a sexual harassment suit for over $1 million.
You should have seen Miller jump when he interviewed Lord Monkton on March 23, 2012. Monkton said the birth certificate is a clear forgey. Miller back-pedaled so hard, he almost fell out of his chair. Even though Miller is arrogant I liked his material. Now that he has sold out to the dark side, I fear he will lose all respect.

If there is any admiration of O'Reilly for Obama it is only O'Reilly giving up all his integrity to genuflect to power.

This article is a real stunner on Orly Taitz. She says she will not go after Rubio if he runs with Romney as VP, she gives her reasons:

Janet,
Glad you posted this fresh perspective. It demonstrates that even if you could elect a super conservative constitutionalist President with wings and appointed by God, he probably would not be able to reverse what has taken a 100 years to pervert.

No, he himself could not all by himself, but with strong leadership he could provide insight that would empower we the people to make those decisions that would reverse the course.
