Wow! President Obama's news conference and release of his "mythical" Long-Form Birth Certificate have pulled the mask completely from the GOP.
The Right and the Republican Party are nothing more than a collection of bigots, thieves, cowards, liars, chicken hawks and criminals.
They would be laughable save for the fact that Corporate "America" and the Plutocracy enjoys having the Republican Hit Men carry out assassinations of the American Middle Class and the subjugation of We, the People!
What actual facts do any of you have that this is all about "race"? Quite frankly, I can't figure why the birth certificate wasn't released long ago. If there was nothing to hide, then why not release it? The real issue everyone is avoiding, is not whether Obama is an American citizen as he clearly is. However, under the Constitution, in order to be President; one of the qualifications is that you have to be a "natural" born citizen. Scholars and courts have argued what constitutes a "natural born" citizen and the overwhelming consensus has been that both parents have to be American citizens (although no legal ruling has ever been made). Clearly, Obama's father was not an American citizen. Personally, I agree with the provision that parents should be citizens. (it's just an opinion and a whole other debate). But since the argument is there, how can you honestly say that the birth certificate was not released until now so that this discussion would not be raised? It's much easier to state this is all about race, rather than debate an unanswered question. Unlike race, which is based on an opinion, this is an argument based on a fact. One that not many are willing to debate.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous is right. That's why we must demand that all traces of Chester A. Arthur's presidency be stricken from the historical record. This Obama birth certificate fiasco is just a proxy battle created by the Mormons like Glenn Beck as retribution for Arthur's signing of the Edmunds Act which prevented polygamists from voting.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous please provide me your name, address, DOB, phone number and social security number so that I can have the FBI and IRS do a background investigation of you. After all if you have nothing to hide...
ReplyDeleteIt is an established maxim, that birth is a criterion of allegiance. Birth, however, derives its force sometimes from place, and sometimes from parentage; but, in general place is the most certain criterion; it is what applies in the United States. - James Madison
And Anonymous just in case you weren't a drive-by bigot here's you actual facts: This is a taste of Pamela Geller the spectacular racist/bigot extraordinaire, who railed on and on about the Nirth Certificate (as she once posted on her blog)....
