President Obama’s birth certificate (or purported lack thereof) has been a central piece of rightwing agit-prop, but at the Minnesota State Fair’s crop art exhibit, it’s now a piece of agri-prop.
Artist Mark Dahlager glued thousands of seeds to a board to create a facsimile of the famous document, adding the tagline “Move on #&%?! Birthers.” (See full sized view at bottom of post.)
Political themes have become a staple at the Fair’s crop art exhibit over the years, but Dahlager’s piece may break new ground by reproducing an actual government document.
Why did he do it? “I actually had another piece planned, but was increasingly irritated by the birther nut jobs and I guess that’s what inspired me,” Dahlager wrote in an email to the Minnesota Independent.
“It took me about 10 hours over 2 weeks — it’s not a technically very good piece (as evidenced by the lack of [an award] ribbon) — but I like it and I got to do a little spleen venting (which is good therapy).”
What does he think his crop art contributes to the debate over Obama’s birth certificate?
I would have to answer your debate question much like Barney Frank did during his recent town meeting. There really is nothing to debate and I have no interest in debating with the equivalent of a dining room table(s). It’s just an expression of my wonderment at a depth of ignorance that is unfathomable.
The card visible at lower right in the photo is a required element of the fair’s crop art competition: a key listing each seed used in the artwork, along with a sample seed. Most categories of the contest require seeds to be from crops grown in Minnesota.
Dahlager (and indeed his family) is an inveterate crop artist, as evidenced by this bumper sticker:

The questions won’t go away until obama releases his hidden records. All he has to do is make the following official public statement,
“I Barack Obama authorize the State of Hawaii to release and make public all of my records on file.”
That’s it. Issue over. But he won’t because he’s a fraud!! Obama knows that millions of citizens want to see it yet he continues to hide it. What and why is he hiding?
And maybe more disturbing is why don’t BHO’s supporters want to know the whole truth, especially since there’s a reward that continues to be increased (currently $25 million) for proof that Obama is a “natural born” citizen of the United States? The answer is that Obama’s very own supporters also know he’s a fraud but choose to overlook it for political agenda reasons!
OBAMA, STOP HIDING. SHOW US YOUR LONG FORM BIRTH CERTIFICATE AND OTHER RECORDS!!!!!

Capt., you’re joking right?? I’m a supporter of Obama and am 100% certain of his American citizenship. This is a dead non-issue coming from the fringe of a dying party (Republican) that continues to be the party of no. Keep on it, it’s amusing at how people like you believe that crap.

Steve, once you’re done appointing yourself a captain, care to explain how you know we know Obama’s records are fake but want to hide it? I don’t recall destroying the original birth certificate last time I went rummaging around in Hawaiian birth records, but I suppose I could have forgotten.

Blah, blah, blah, Captain Steve. Keep blowing that crap into the wind. All that will come back are the echoes of your fellow idiot right wing idealouges. Only the sheer amount of this nonsense is what is getting you on the national radar. You and your fellow liars are doing a great job of spreading misinformation. Congratulations, sir.

Until Captain Steve produces both his original birth certificate and his Naval orders of captaincy I insist he be called Beano-Stevarino. What exactly is he hiding? Is he really a captain or even a citizen? I doubt it and until he produces the appropriate paperwork nothing he says matters. Anything he says is immaterial until we see the proof he was dropped on his head in America first.

It’s hilarious to see the apoplectic wing nuts go crazy over everything Obama related. I hope we start seeing more strokes from the angry right. I hope Barack says he is NOT a citizen, or a christian, or any other wingnuttery.
We all have at least 31/2 more years, possibly 8, to sit back and laugh at these complete racist idiots. I Love It. The more they whine, the funnier it gets.
Oh, and your racist thoughts are deep seated in your frontal lobe, so we don’t expect anything less from you people but extreme racism. You cannot help it. It is, in fact, a mental illness.

Steve the pseudo captain and the rest of the birthers run around and look for stories published about Obama’s birth certificate and write the same things over and over.
They believe it furthers their cause, instead of making us all laugh at them. And by ‘us’, I mean every sane and rational person that knows that President Obama was 100% born in Hawaii and has already went above and beyond any other President in putting their birth certificate online.
Steve, you, Orly Taitz and the rest of the birthers are doing nothing than making others laugh at you.
Not that I’m complaining. The more Republicans and those who oppose President Obama are associated with you lunatics, the better it is for American and President Obama.

For those of you reading these comments with a bit more on the ball than the nitwits who call names but have no answers, our founding fathers were very concerned that someone under foreign influence might become the POTUS. Therefore, they very carefully inserted a three word phrase, ‘natural born citizen’, into the Constitution to guarantee that didn’t happen. The phrase they used was derived from Vattel’s ‘Law of Nations’, a reference of the time and was defined as:
“The citizens are the members of the civil society; bound to this society by certain duties, and subject to its authority, they equally participate in its advantages. The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parentS who are citizenS. As the society cannot exist and perpetuate itself otherwise than by the children of the citizens, those children naturally follow the condition of their fathers, and succeed to all their rights. The society is supposed to desire this, in consequence of what it owes to its own preservation; and it is presumed, as matter of course, that each citizen, on entering into society, reserves to his children the right of becoming members of it. The country of the fathers is therefore that of the children; and these become true citizens merely by their tacit consent. We shall soon see whether, on their coming to the years of discretion, they may renounce their right, and what they owe to the society in which they were born. I say, that, in order to be of the country, it is necessary that a person be born of a father who is a citizen; for, if he is born there of a foreigner, it will be only the place of his birth, and not his country.”
To be natural born was to be born on U.S. SOIL of parents who were BOTH citizens. Two important requirements. In addition, Vattel said that the child “naturally follow the condition of their fathers, and succeed to all their rights”. Since Obama’s father was a Kenyan national and a British subject, said subjugation passed naturally to Obama Jr. and that is precisely the condition that our founding fathers feared. For an excellent discussion of the issue, see http://www.birthers.org/USC/Vattel.html

As a limited government classic liberal, I love Barack Obama. His agenda is guaranteed to enrage all but the dullest of the electorate. Health care has the old folks and families with handicapped children shaking their fists. Forcing taxpayers to takeover GM, cheating legitimate investors for some union payback, bowing to the Saudi king, cap and trade, cooking the census; finally the case can be made for the necessity to limit government.
As the economy tanks and Obama continues to foist his fascism (Google FDR Mussolinni), demands will build for the stealth candidate to come clean. Maybe fter he is in jail we can get some DNA and find out who his father is.

I will never stop finding birthers hilarious. Never. I can see them at their keyboards typing out their little screeds, insisting (to their readers) that they are just asking reasonable questions and are not insane at all, all the while seething and spitting and throwing darts at their copy of the Obey Obama poster that they downloaded months ago for just that purpose. Keep going birthers! You are the funniest thing to happen to politics since Ross Perot.

t-bag jones, I’m really glad you enjoy laughing at complete racist idiots, because any time you need a chuckle you can take a peek at a mirror. Later, when you have dried off your shoes, then try Googling “psychological projection”. You will learn why “racism” is one of your favorite words, and also used in every other sentence by your misguided leftwing friends.
Obama’s birth certificate is important to Americans who want to be sure the Constitution is being respected. (If you don’t know what the Constitution is, you can Google that too. Be sure to read the part about being President, or if you can’t read, have someone read it to you.)

Captain Steve is right. But so are some of the other commentators:
Mr. Obama could solve the issue with about 5 minutes of effort. Rather, he has purportedly spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to keep his records sealed.
There is some fraud going on – it may be the birthplace or it may be that HE’S NOT THAT SMART. He probably doesn’t want to show his school records because his grades were poor. He won’t release his law review work or thesis because they are probably CRAP or they were plagiarized.
Do I have any proof? Only that he has shown a poor grasp of the spirit of our Constitution (which defines us a nation and as individuals) and superiority of free-market economic principles. But that evidence is speaking loudly and clearly right now. Some day we’ll see the records and discover that he was a mediocre student who got a lot of help along the way (most likely from some shady characters).
The birth issue is past its prime, but will be resurrected in 2012. People who use either of the terms, “birther” or “Obamabot” are attempting to stereotype their opponents. It shows a lack of depth. There are plenty of valid arguments of both sides of the birth issue.
When an objective person weighs the evidence, he or she has to admit that it is inconclusive. No, Mr. Obama has not satisfactorily proved his fulfilment of the “natural born citizen” requirement. And, no, he is not the Anti-Christ. Yes, he wants to make the U.S. a European-style nation. Most thinking Americans strongly disagree that this a desirable thing.

Simply put. For over 300 million american citizens their records of citizenship, education, and residence are accessible for the most part. But, the most powerful person in the world is given a pass, with the blessing of those that wanted change you can believe in.
Now, for all of you that wanted this change, hang on, it’s going to come. This clandestine POTUS is the biggest pimple on the backside of the office this country of freedom and liberty has ever seen!

Adam Dierksmeier, you cannot be 100% certain unless you have actually seen the “real” birth certificate, not the COLB. Why do you not care enough to want to know the truth? Ask why obama is hiding his records. That should make you suspicious or do you hate America?

You social drones crack my ass. You have not investigated this matter other than to check the net, yep, there’s his birth certificate, it’s all over and your just a birther. Furthermore, you will not look beyond this birth certification, because your afraid of what you might find out. You can continue to pull the wool over your head and ignore the real problem, but that will not make it go away. This issue is escalating beyond the fact obama is actively involved in stopping the release of his long form certificate and other personal documentation. Americans are now questioning his credibility and what he he trying to hide.

How is it racist to wonder why the President won’t produce a certified copy of his original birth certificate? How is it racist to wonder why his campaign produced a Certificate of Live Birth, which until a few weeks ago you could not use in Hawaii to obtain a driver’s license because it lacks vital information?
My late father always said that a man with nothing to hide spends neither time nor treasure hiding anything. Pres. Obama has spent upwards of a million dollars trying to avoid proffering the form. I don’t know where he was born, and neither does anyone else, except possibly the president himself. I’m certainly no racist for wanting to know.

Would love to believe the man is all he purported and campaigned to be but his track record since 01/20/2009 shows: (1) too many promises unmet, unkept, and violated (2)promised transparency non-existent, and (3)the safety of our Nation appears to be internally-threatened. Why does the man need over 40+ czars in the White House (one a self-professed communist) who cannot be interrogated by Congress? Why do they answer only to him? Why does his wife now have 22+ staff assistants? Whatever does a homemaking First Lady, in our White House, need them for? Why are the taxpayers paying for this? Why is AMERICA now “broke?” Suggest you read “brotherhood of darkness” by Dr. Stanley Monteith, and “Hope of the Wicked – The Master Plan to Rule the World” by Ted Flynn. Whether you approve of Barry Soetoro aka Barack Hussein Obama or not, IF YOU LOVE AMERICA, you owe it to yourself to find out what’s really going on. When you do, please share it with your friends and family. This is no joke. This is not a matter to be looked upon with contempt, fellow Americans. You must learn what ‘brotherhood’ is really at work behind the scenes. Are we broke as a Nation? To which nation is the U.S. most financially indebted? Why did Bank of America, who already owns 10% of the Construction Bank of China, take 7% of the stimulus funds they received, and purchase another 7% of the Construction Bank of China? Why are there so many people, formerly affiliated with Goldman Sachs, working on Capitol Hill, and in the U.S. Treasury? If ‘Obamacare’ passes, if our military is unable to defend our borders because they’ve been routed out to fight the wars of other lands, and if Obama forms his massive U.S. foot army, may we not be well on our way to forfeiting our Sovreignty, and the freedoms Americans have enjoyed? I’m not affiliated in any way with wnd.com but I’m asking: What hinders you from visiting wnd.com today, and ordering your own copies of these two books? They may yet be available in a bundle for a reduced price. For the sake of AMERICA, your children, and your children’s children, will you order your copies, maybe some extras, and share the information with your friends and family?

You guys didn’t trust reagen with his finger on the button because he was too old, but we’re supposed to trust it someone who is not willing to prove he’s qualified?! The COLB is not a valid proof of birth in the US. You never debate the real issue, it’s always that we’re crazy. Well then prove us crazy, here is you opportunity, produce the birth certificate. If McCain had been elected you can be damn sure the media would be up is ass making sure he was eligible.

How did he pass on his duel citizenship – which is also not natural – to become an American. This man is lying and he is NOT a president.

It really amazes me how stupid some Americans can be in this country. You can put the proof in their faces that Obama is not a U.S. citizen, and you will still argue that Obama is a citizen. He is paying over $1 million of our taxpayer dollars to “hide all” his information from the American people. Common sense says, he is hiding something really bad, or he would just produce all his information to the people of our country. A person only hides bad things about themselves people, smarten up. If the information was good, they would be releasing it without anyone having to ask them. Ask yourself why McCain, and others produced their proof of POTUS, but Obama was not made to do the same. Because someone behind the scenes was covering it all up for him, so the proof and evidence would not come out, and they continue to do so to this day. Just release the darn proof and everyone will get the heck off his back about it. Because they can’t, because it doesn’t exist. If Americans are not asking themselves why a person would spend our own millions to hide a simple $20 birth certificate and free school records, then you are the ones with no brains and no common sense. The man even passed a bill as soon as he came into office in order to make his records inaccessible to anyone in America, and in fact a crime to try to access them. If it were someone else other than Obama in this situation, you would be questioning it, you just don’t want to admit your lying Mr Obama, is not our ligitimate president by Constitutional POTUS law. One day you will have to admit it, when the truth comes out eventually in the future. This is one secret that will not stay hidden forever, it will be exposed one day. Then you people that call other Americans the rude name of “birthers” in order to belittle them, in order to try and make this issue unimportant, you will be the ones eating crow. You will be the ones belittled by the American people that believed in their Constitutional POTUS laws, and their concerns about their countries security from a foreign usurper, taking over and changing our nation into something that our Founding Fathers would not recognize. I have a name for all of you Obama birth certificate nonbelievers, you will be called the “Obamabirthgaters”. You all help to propagate his lie, because you don’t want to hear the truth. Because “YOU CAN’T HANDLE THE TRUTH”. You don’t want to believe your savior has lied to you all this time. You don’t want to admit you have been duped in the biggest scandal America will ever know. But I have news for all you Obama believers, he has already lied to all of you, he has broken every promise he has made during his entire career and presidental campaign. He does the exact opposite of what he promises, and then gives you a load of BS as to why he had to break his promise, or he just washes over it like it was nothing, and not important. You still believe him, that is just how naive and braindead you are of this Lying Treasonous Constitution Violators in the person of Obama, the Democrats, Obama Administration, and some of our elected corrupt politicians. One day you will be on the other side of the rest of the American people you call birthers, and you will be the ones reviled for your own stupidity and voluntary blindness. By the way, I am a college educated female Democrat of 49 years old, of American Blackfoot Indian-white-dutch-british mixed decent, married previously to a man of Irish decent, and now to a man of Latin American decent, with a mixed familly of white-black-latino family members, and I could never be called a racist because I am not, so what else do you have to say since you can’t call me a RACIST. That seems to be your M O in this Obama administration if someone doesn’t agree with everything Obama says. Or you say we are unAmerican, but how much more American can I be since my family background is American Blackfoot Indian. I would say I am more American than most of you, since my ancestors are actually from this North American Contintent, before any of your ancestors came to our contintent and country. One day you will have to admit it to yourselves, and see the light of truth was always on our side. It is after all, just a simple thing called – “COMMON SENSE”.

It’s amazing how polarized people are on this issue, especially when no one knows the absolute truth for certain.
One thing that is certain is that the far more compelling arguments are on the side who don’t believe Obama has released sufficient proof. The people on the other side – perhaps it’s blind faith or lack of digging, but I have yet to see a single argument to date that would close this issue once and for all from the side that the antibirthers are on.
This issue won’t go away – and that’s a good thing. We have a right to know and that right has been stymied time and again. Obama is hiding something and given that he is taking the country in a non constitutional direction, let’s find out what he is hiding.
Look at the people he has surrounded himself with – by and large a lot of them are not people with past integrity. This is a terrible mess and I wait for the day that the full truth emerges, wherever it lands.

Here is a question why would Obama spend $1,500,000.00 to avoid spending $30.00?
Maybe it is just a political game he arragned to try to discreit those who disagree with him? Maybe he things unlike all other presidents he does not need to. Maybe he was not born here?
Either way the form he released was a form released to legal aliens at that time.
Obama spend the $30.00 and stop managing your money so poorly. This certainly explains why the deficet is 9,000,000,000,000.00 after only 6 months of Obama.

Why is that?? Simply produce it and get on with it. Why cant he ( or wont he)?
Now most of Americans don’t trust him, with good reason. Produce all records NOW. because
he is not trustworthy of a US President until he does. This will not go away. And the gov run media is the one that keeps bringing it up. Why is that. why all the name calling? Oh right, that is your Parties M.O.

The Usurper was placed in office by George W Bush to continue the Bush doctrine and the Bush policies.
How do I know this? Here’s my proof:
1. Bush was never elected. He was appointed for his first term, illegally, and then stole the election for his second term. Therefore, he knows how to pull one over on we, the sheople.
2. Qualifications for federal public office are investigated by the Justice Department (aka The Department of Law). Therefore, when President Obama entered the races to be both a U.S. Senator AND President of the United States, it was President George W Bush’s Justice Department that vetted his qualifications. Since we now know that the sitting president is not a natural born citizen, then it is very clear that it was Bush who placed him in office and rigged the election.
3. Bush is also a master of expunging records. His military records disappeared during his father’s administration. You can’t find records of his drunk driving arrest or his arrest for cocaine possession. The president’s education records disappeared during the Bush administration. Can it be any more clear that this man is Bush’s plant?
4. Both of Bush’s wars are still being fought. The rendition policy hasn’t changed, and no one in the Bush administration has been prosecuted for crimes that they have admitted to on national TV!
Anyone who doesn’t believe my theory and my proof hates America, apple pie, and their mother.

Hawaii has the long-form birth certificate. Obama refuses to release it, or address the topic.
WHY?
BREAL

As usual the libs resort to the typical name calling and demonizing instead of addressing or intelligently debating the birth certificate issue. They ARE spoiled rotten 2-year-olds who never grew up.
Far left libs are a lawless lot who refuse to be constrained by the US Constitution and laws of the land. The POTUS birth certificate issue further proves this point. (as if proof were even necessary)

I suggest that everyone go to the Holocaust Museum in Washington D.C. While there look at how Hitler took over the media, the car companies, was about the unions, was for Abortion and has a big picture there called “The Word” just like 0s art in Chicago. And while you are there insert Obama’s name in the place of Hitler’s. It is shocking how well 0 matches Hitler.
And oh yes, Hitler was not a citizen of Germany.

“JUST ME”
Thanks for your comments. If your ethic background is what you say (and I have no reason to doubt you), then your words do nothing less that SHATTER the argument that those of us who seek the truth are racists.
Thank you.

“GENERAL AUTHORITY”
There certainly may be a case to be made from among your disjointed statements. The case is that there is a reticent power structure in our nation (our world) that is immensely more powerful than one government position (one man) our president.
I’ve got one BIG reason we will not get an open hearing in the birth certificate case:
the stock market would collapse.
Markets like certainty. There is probably not one judge or politician who is part of the core of the power structure who will step out of line.

I predict that the stock market will crash again. Maybe even before the end of the year. It will probably be my fault since I have never seen the long form of my birth certificate. Does that make me Kenyan?

Funny how the haters (who claim to “know” the facts, despite the utter absence of facts), have to fall back on words like “hilarious”, “funny”, “racist”, “racism”, as they have no useful contribution to make. Guys, we KNOW you’re pissed off — not so much chuckling. You aren’t changing anyone’s mind. Your high-and-mighty declaration of inside information (you KNOW he’s a citizen, right?) would be ever so much more effective if you’d just freaking SHARE that cache of legal info that you certainly must have access to! We want the facts TOO! Quit mocking, and put up. All the Obamessiah has to do is cough up a few documents — and we’ll shut up. Easy! Till then, sorry kids. You can rant and scream racist all you want. If the so called-prez had nothing but lily-white ancestors, we’d STILL be calling his sorry a** on the carpet. A fraud is a fraud is a fraud.

Here’s the biggest problem…. Obama is not, can not be, never has been, and NEVER WILL BE a “natural born” citizen…. it’s that simple! Let me BRIEFLY explain….
Obama has NEVER produced his REAL, LONG VERSION VAULT BIRTH CERTIFICATE…. that part is pretty evident to most people with two brain cells to rub together… The other part really openly trumps all missing documents which keeps Obama from being President… EVER!
Obama Sr. was openly a Kenyan citizen and not of the US, therefore Obama Jr. (aka Barry Soetoro, aka Barack Hussein Obama Jr., aka Seditionist, Perjurous, Traitor, Mutinist Obama in the White House by his own known actions) is not and never will be qualified to be President of the United States… This was publically known in June of 2008 during the primaries!
The original definition of “natural born” can be found outside of the US Constitution because it was a COMMON term in the day, just like terms like “home run,” “touchdown,” or “first down” are today.
The legal definition is found in the Law of Nations which is the premier bedrock of legal jargon from 1758 (which if you know your history is RIGHT AS the Framers were writing the US Constitution!)
Vattel – Law of Nations, book 1, section 212 – 215
(Numbered 1 – 9 by me to show 9 TIMES that it states that Obama can not be a “natural born” citizen!)
§ 212. Citizens and natives.
The citizens are the members of the civil society; bound to this society by certain duties, and subject to its authority, they equally participate in its advantages. (1) The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens. As the society cannot exist and perpetuate itself otherwise than by the children of the citizens, those (2) children naturally follow the condition of their fathers, and succeed to all their rights. The society is supposed to desire this, in consequence of what it owes to its own preservation; and it is presumed, as matter of course, that each citizen, on entering into society, reserves to his children the right of becoming members of it. (3) The country of the fathers is therefore that of the children; and (4) these become true citizens merely by their tacit consent. We shall soon see whether, on their coming to the years of discretion, they may renounce their right, and what they owe to the society in which they were born. I say, that, (5) in order to be of the country, it is necessary that a person be born of a father who is a citizen; for, (6) if he is born there of a foreigner, it will be only the place of his birth, and not his country.
§ 213. Inhabitants.
The inhabitants, as distinguished from citizens, are foreigners, who are permitted to settle and stay in the country. Bound to the society by their residence, they are subject to the laws of the state while they reside in it; and they are obliged to defend it, because it grants them protection, though they do not participate in all the rights of citizens. They enjoy only the advantages which the law or custom gives them. The perpetual inhabitants are those who have received the right of perpetual residence. These are a kind of citizens of an inferior order, and are united to the society without participating in all its advantages. (7)Their children follow the condition of their fathers; and, as the state has given to these the right of perpetual residence, their right passes to their posterity.
§ 214. Naturalization.(58)
A nation, or the sovereign who represents it, may grant to a foreigner the quality of citizen, by admitting him into the body of the political society. This is called naturalization. There are some states in which the sovereign cannot grant to a foreigner all the rights of citizens, — for example, that of holding public offices — and where, consequently, he has the power of granting only an imperfect naturalization. It is here a regulation of the fundamental law, which limits the power of the prince. In other states, as in England and Poland, the prince cannot naturalize a single person, without the concurrence of the nation, represented by its deputies. Finally, there are states, as, for instance, England, where the single circumstance of being born in the country naturalizes the children of a foreigner.
§ 215. Children of citizens born in a foreign country.
It is asked whether the children born of citizens in a foreign country are citizens? The laws have decided this question in several countries, and their regulations must be followed.(59) (8) By the law of nature alone, children follow the condition of their fathers, and enter into all their rights (§ 212); (9) the place of birth produces no change in this particular, and cannot, of itself, furnish any reason for taking from a child what nature has given him; I say “of itself,” for, civil or political laws may, for particular reasons, ordain otherwise. But I suppose that the father has not entirely quitted his country in order to settle elsewhere. If he has fixed his abode in a foreign country, he is become a member of another society, at least as a perpetual inhabitant; and his children will be members of it also.

Obama fans…. sorry…… (and if it makes you feel any better, McCain is not legally qualified either, but at least he went to court and they ruled him eligible! Maybe Obama should do that too?!?!)

Hey COMMANDER COOL –
Stop looking for your long-form birth certificate.
Just call the County Clerk of the county where you were born.
That’s what I did. They told me it would cost $15.00 plus shipping.
I asked them if it would include the name of the hospital and the doctor who delivered me. They said yes. (That was in Cook County, Illinois).
Comment posted August 31, 2009 @ 4:48 pm
Brett,
Didn’t the 14th Amendment alter the definition of a “natural born citizen” in the United States?
From what you know, has it been challenged with regard to the definition you provided from Vattel?
I understand that there was a change in US law with regard to Vattel in the late 1700s that was later repealed, and there was the case of a Chinese-American in the late 19th or early 20th century.
Comment posted August 31, 2009 @ 4:52 pm
Brett,
I guess my point is that because of the 14th Amendment, the citizenship of a person’s parents is irrelevant. Being born on US soil takes precedence over prior laws, definitions, or declarations.

Obama has obviouslystolen the White House.After the so called popular vote when recounts were made, it seems like so many voting booths had more votes than registered voters. There was too many voting booths where his “buddies”, the ACORN group, were standing in front of the door with their clubs. What was they trying to convey to the voters?
Obama’s ‘Certification of Live Birth’ show his mother’s race as Caucasian and his father’s race as African. When did African become a race? I always thought an African was a citizen of the Continent of Africa. It doesn’t show where he was born. It doesn;t show his mother’s aide in birth. Simply put, it doesn’t show who the hell he is.
Oba ma’s goal now is to bankrupt our nation, and he is well on his way. He will then declare a state of emergency and enforce martial law.That is his goal to become dictator.
And just think about it; our beloved congress has given him assistance to do it.

Birth notices for Obama were published in the Honolulu Advertiser and Honolulu Star-Bulletin shortly after his birth. I suppose the birthers can explain that away as part of a nefarious long-term plot. Get a grip, folks! This president was not born in Texas and we can all be glad of that.
Comment posted August 31, 2009 @ 9:54 pm
Philip Gottling: It was not a long-term plot. ACORN has a time machine. A couple of ACORN agents went back to 1961 and planted the announcements. Then they went to the 1980s and manipulated Hawaii’s new computerized databases to insert the birth record. Finally, they went back just a few months and hypnotized/brainwashed the Governor of Hawaii (Republican) and the head of the Hawaiian Department of Health (Republican) to say that the certificate was valid. It’s just that easy. ACORN is behind the whole thing. “Long term plot”, ha. What a moron.

Awesome seed art! We had an art teacher in high school who once said something was “almost as impressive as a seed mosaic” and some of us have been snickering about that for forty years … and now look, it turns out he was right!
As to the political implications, nice try, but I’m afraid the “birthers” aren’t going to “move on” — first off, they have nothing to move on TO (well okay, maybe some of the other WEEKLY WORLD NEWS headlines like “Titanic Survivor Found on Mars”), and secondly, nothing will satisfy people who claim that any evidence that contradicts their position is just some forgery or plot. They could have video of Obama’s birth being witnessed by the Pope and the Queen of England and they’d just say they’re both in on it.

I wish Obama would just turn over a copy of his real birth certificate. Just release it to Fox News.
That way, instantly, we can all see how it changes NONE of the idiot “birther’s” minds.
A birth certificate will do absolutely nothing to shut these people up. We know it, and they know it. So, Birthers, stop insulting our intelligence by pretending that’s all you want. You are crazy, and nothing will EVER make you sane.

Honest, Tavi — just cough up that birth certificate, and the birthers will go AWAY! Yup. All those wacky birthers want is the long-form certificate, with the Doctor’s signature in his own handwriting. You know, the BIRTH certificate. Perhaps you should wait till that magical (most likely imaginary) document shows up, and THEN — if the crazy birthers think of some new and different reason to simply not believe the proof, go ahead and report the facts. Say you were right. But wait to see IF it happens, okay? Us nutjobs have never asked for anything but that legal document. Don’t insult people by making up crap. Quit *wishing* for Obama to “just turn over a copy of his real birth certificate” and make yourself useful. Help make it happen, and then we’ll shut up!
Comment posted September 2, 2009 @ 2:08 pm
All this liberal crap about the birthers makes me SICK. Think about it rationally for just one minute, OK??!!!
WHO in their right mind spends over 1 million dollars to hide his birth certificate, if he has nothing to hide?????
He won’t release grade school records.
He won’t release high school records.
He won’t release college records.
He won’t release any records of his term as senator.
He won’t release ANY records!!!!!!!!!!
What the hell is he hiding?????????
OK, bring on all the “your an idiot” comments, bring on all the “your party is dead or dying” comments, say ANYTHING you want, just answer one simple question for me, and remember that ALL Presidents before this Socialist A$$hole, released records, whether it was their birth certificates, tax forms, you name it, when pressed, they released it, but this usurper wont’ release anything and is spending BIG MONEY not to, so, answer me this: WHY won’t he release any of his records??
YOU, answer this question, and all of us TRUE PATRIOTS will shut the FU&% UP, OK??!!!!!!!
