Well, Cpt. Barnett, please accept my sincerest thanks for your service to our beloved nation. Your sacrifice is appreciated and held in highest regard.
Now, I’ll address the points you raised.
First, you mistakenly assume that any freeper who disagrees with the unconscionable tactics of Orly Taitz is automatically an Obot. You’re very wrong. Birthers use “respect for Orly” as a conservative litmus test on FR. But, last I checked, “respect for Orly Taitz” wasn’t listed in the Republican Party platform as a value conservatives uphold and support. Neither do I see it listed in Jim Robinson’s mission statement for FR.
I am a freedom-loving, law-abiding conservative. I despise Barack Hussien Obama and his Chicago Thugs. I’m terrified that they’ll damage our beloved nation more than that from which we will be able to recover. I am not an Obot and I am not a troll. Most of the other freepers who feel the same way about Orly as I do are also conservatives and not trolls or Obots.
Secondly, you also mistakenly assume that I don’t find the Constitution worthy of defending. You couldn’t be further from the truth. As the Supreme Law of the Land, the Constitution must be defended - from Obama and Orly!
Dr. Orly Taitz, Esq. would have the Constitution twisted and the rules that govern our justice system bent to achieve her goal of having Obama removed from office. She hasn’t presented a shred of credible evidence that Obama was born somewhere other than Hawaii. It is the responsibility of the plaintiff to prove his/her case. Yet Orly would have the defendant prove to the plaintiff that he is a natural born citizen.
In case Orly didn’t tell you, the Constitution does not define “natural born citizen.” So we must look elsewhere for that definition and attempt to understand the intent of the Founding Fathers. The fact is we don’t know whether or not Obama is a natural born citizen because the SCOTUS has not ruled on his specific birth circumstances. We can make arguments for and against his NBC status. But until we can bring a proper case to the SCOTUS, we’ve got nada.
Ask yourself this question: Are you willing to accept a ruling by the SCOTUS that Obama is a natural born citizen? If you’re unwilling, then it’s not the Constiution you want to see upheld but rather your (and Orly’s and every other birther’s) interpretation of it.
In my experience with birthers, they say they want the Constitution upheld, but in truth, what they really want is their own definitions of “natural born citizen” to be upheld as valid. And no proof Obama provided to that end would be acceptable to birthers. If he provided the long-form BC tomorrow, they’d claim he had two plus years to produce a perfect forgery. They already accuse the Hawaii DoH officials of conspiracy and certain Honorable Federal Judges of being corrupt or “gotten to.” So no legal statements from the Hawaii government will suffice and neither will any judicial ruling that is contrary to the goal of removing Obama. What evidence will satisfy the birthers? Obama’s removal from office is the only acceptable outcome for birthers.
Let’s be honest, it’s not about the Constitution because natural born citizen is not defined there. It’s about removing Obama from office. And Orly is willing to use anyone who suits her purpose and any method that brings about the end goal.
Orly Taitz is no patriot.
“The fact is we don’t know whether or not Obama is a natural born citizen because the SCOTUS has not ruled on his specific birth circumstances. We can make arguments for and against his NBC status. But until we can bring a proper case to the SCOTUS, we’ve got nada.”
I agree but I find it very troubling. It appears to me, based upon what I think the founders intended, that President Obama is not a NBC because his father was not a U.S. Citizen. Why won’t the POTUS hear a case on this...many presented...and put and end to speculation? OR by allowing allowing President Obama to continue to sit unchallenged...aren’t they setting a de facto precident? This just doesn’t seem right to me. Why the silence and sidestep?????
