"The Only Ones Crazier Than The Birthers Are The Anti-Birthers"

Yes, the truth is beginning to peek out from the debris of the anti-birther self-righteousness. Amazingly, the quote in the title of this post is from a liberal writer on the Huffington Post (a notorious liberal site). Yes, some liberals DO care about he truth and the Constitution, and COMMON SENSE. Really!


As was also pointed out in the article, when John McCain's citizenship (natural born) was questioned, he immediately produced his birth certificate, no questions asked.










And, none further needed to be asked.











Therein lies the nub of the thing. Forget all the diatribe against the birthers. Forget ideology (as the liberal on the Huffington Post was able to do). Forget 'stare decisis' as James Lewis wrote in the American Thinker the other day -did he drink the kool-aid, one wonders?- as have some other conservatives who seem to care if the liberals like them or not! Very disappointing, Mr. Lewis.

Here are the salient facts- stay focused on these like a laser beam and you can't go wrong in knowing what is right, wrong, or irrelevant in this controversy.

• Presidents are required by law to disclose many personal details of their lives (for example, tax returns)


• Presidents are required to obey the law, just like the rest of us.


• The President must be a natural born citizen of the United States, as per the Constitution


• When candidate McCain was questioned on this, he produced is ORIGINAL birth certificate


• The House passed a resolution declaring that McCain was (and is) in fact qualified (natural born citizen) to run, having been born on a US Navy base in the Panama Canal Zone


• The House has not even hinted at passing a similar resolution in regard to Obama


• There IS a controversy over this


• The President COULD release his original birth certificate if he chose to- this would quell most of the questions, if not all


• It's alleged that Obama is also not authorizing release of his (higher)education records because he received financial aid as a foreign student


• He could authorize release of those records to squelch this allegation


• Average citizens have to produce original birth and education documents for a variety of reasons in the normal course of their lives


• National Security background checks for Top Secret and higher classifications routinely seek and receive these documents or the classification is denied


• The President and his legal team are spending millions to PREVENT the release of the documents in question


• People with nothing to hide do not fight court battles, using personal money and taxpayer dollars, to fight release of their birth and educational records, when they have nothing to hide!

The best case that could be made for Obama for this obstructive behavior is hubris (overweening pride). The rest of the cases are worst, leading to outright deception and fraud.


Lewis was concerned that if the USSC tried to remove the President, were it to be found he had in fact attempted to conceal that he is not qualified to serve by birth as the President, there would be 'riots'. I have news for him---if the USSC were to fail to act in removing an unqualified President Obama in such a case, there would be riots!


In fact, there would be (civil) war and Revolution- based on the truth, not lies, fraud and coverup.


The President can BE the President---by releasing the records NOW. He has sworn to uphold and defend the Constitution.


Prove it, Mr. President. We've got some serious business to do in this country---you say so every day. And this is a distraction, it's undermining your Presidency. I know, I know, you think you have 3 more years to make your mark, you can wait them out. But, what man knows what tomorrow will bring?

Be the Leader you say you are and many expect you to be. Do the right thing.

NOW.
