Obama birth certificate controversy: How blind faith becomes a virtue
When did blind faith become a virtue?
I have asked this before, and the answer is never easy. But to try to simplify it: When the Left has decided something is a fact, it becomes one. Or, in the words of Vladamir Lenin, “A lie told often enough becomes the truth.”
Such is the case with the Obama birth certificate controversy. It is, in fact, a controversy that should never have existed.
There is a simple way for this to end: Obama should allow the release of his original record from Hawaii. NO, not his “Certificate Certification of Live Birth” that you are all going to post from this Snopes link, but his actual birth certificate. (Thanks to the Freepers who pointed out the error). The original. The real deal. Not a do-over or alternate form.
But, true to the Left’s ways, the Obama White House has refused to acknowledge that a controversy exists. Others on the Left are dismissing it as foolish because they don’t believe it, and if they don’t find the debate “academic” enough for their taste, it does not exist. Where have we seen this before?
So instead of the most transparent administration ever, as promised, Obama has decided to allow others to do his dirty work and still refuses to comply to a simple request.
Media Matters, the radical Leftist “watchdog” group for media (that seems to only watch conservative programming) has decided to call Lou Dobbs a racist for daring to talk about the issue.
Why is it so wrong for Dobbs to ask for a piece of paper? I am sure the IRS will want to see lots of Dobbs’ papers when he gets audited this year (and don’t tell me that’s a coincidence when it happens). Why should the nation just simply believe the president and some bureaucrat in Hawaii that the form exists and is legitimate?
It never ceases to amaze that the Left will go out of its way to forge documents about George W Bush’s national guard service to “prove” that he never served, but will not even bother to make sure Obama’s basic papers are in order, nor acknowledge that it is a little fishy that the documents are locked away, never to be seen again. The “birthers” are scorned and ridiculed constantly for daring to ask “Let’s see some ID.” (Perhaps now we know why Obama quickly sided with Professor Gates when he likewise had an issue with that request).
Meanwhile, thousands of 20-somethings that apply to work for the federal government supply their birth certificates and countless other documents and verifications for every action they have ever taken. So here’s to you, Average Capitol Hill Unpaid Undergraduate Intern– you may be more qualified than Barack Obama to be an employee of the federal government!
When the kid who sat in the front row of my Government 101 class blabbing mindlessly about his summer in DC has to produce more proof of his citizenship to be a lap dog for a do-nothing congressman than the man-child* who lives in the White House does, something is wrong. But such is the norm when blind faith is a virtue.

Re: “Obama should allow the release of his original record from Hawaii. NO, not his “Certificate of Live Birth” that you are all going to post from this Snopes link, but his actual birth certificate. The original. The real deal. Not a do-over or alternate form.”
Obama cannot allow the original birth certificate to be released. He can ask Hawaii to release it, but then anyone can ask Hawaii to release it. He cannot authorize Hawaii to release a copy of original, because Hawaii never issues copies of the original. It only issues the Certification of Live Birth, which is what it sent to Obama when he asked for a copy of his original birth certificate.
I am sure that he would be delighted to release the original. He CANNOT. He hasn’t got a copy. He asked Hawaii to send him a copy of the original, and Hawaii sent him the same document it sends to everyone, the Certification of Live Birth. (http://www.starbulletin.com/columnists/kokualine/20090606_kokua_line.html)
So, it is Hawaii, under a Republican governor, that is preventing the release of the original birth certificate. The certification of live birth is the legal birth certificate of Hawaii, and the location of birth has been confirmed by two Hawaiian officials, and in 1961 when Obama was born Hawaii did not register foreign births.
So the original birth certificate must show that he was born in Hawaii. So, why doesn’t Obama show the original? Because Hawaii will not send it to him. Hawaii will not send a copy of the original birth certificate to anyone, even the person who is involved. So, the solution is simple, we should ask Hawaii to make a change in the rules (change the law if necessary) to make the birth records of a president of the United States public documents.
I am sure the Democrats in Hawaii would not oppose this. They are convinced, as I am, that the original will show that Obama was born in Hawaii.
Re: “Why should the nation just simply believe the president and some bureaucrat in Hawaii that the form exists and is legitimate?”
Because we never asked a President to prove the location of birth before (and some would not have been able to prove the location since their records were lost). Because it was not just one bureaucrat, but three bureaucrats and the governor of Hawaii, all of whom said “born in Hawaii.” Because the document in the file cannot be a foreign birth certificate, which were not allowed to be filed in 1961, and because of this confirming evidence: “http://www.buffalonews.com/494/story/554495.html.’
And there is no proof of his birth anywhere than the USA. His grandmother did NOT say that he was born in Kenya, and the latest Kenyan “birth certificate” is a forgery.

ok joe, i’ll do this for you.
two things:
1) according to this among other reports: http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2009-07-27-obama-hawaii_N.htm, the paper copies of pre-2001 birth certificates were destroyed when hawaii went paperless.
2) as factcheck documents here, http://www.factcheck.org/elections-2008/born_in_the_usa.html, there were newspaper accounts at the time that announced the birth.
so what’s the deal? do you really think obama was not born in hawaii? do you really think the orly taitz forged certificate is the real deal? do you really think this matters as his mother was already a citizen?
i don’t get it joe. i mean, if this is all just political haberdashery, then fine, i just expected more of you. if you’re really a birther, there needs to be an intervention, man, because you are loony as a fucking bat.

birthers “come across as crazy” because they ARE crazy joe. you don’t think that coulter or o’reilly or anyone else would be pushing this if it had a shred of credibility?
come on joe. admit it. the short form birth certificate is good enough to get him a passport. it’s the real deal. the newspaper things are there. no one ever asked bush or mccain or anyone else for a birth certificate. the entire birther movement is driven by a fear of otherness, by subtle (and not-so-subtle) racism, and by a crazed and belligerent focus on the part of the adherents of the movement.
you’ve got to distance yourself from the birthers joe. you’d be calling me out if i were quoting loose change 9/11 at you (and rightly so!). there is no difference, substantive or procedural, between the birthers and the truthers.
let it go, man. just let it go.
