Alan Keys Speaks on the Obama Birth Certificate Issue..
(Excerpt) Read more at thedailydigest.org ...
I heard this am on Quinn and Rose, a nice advertisement about Zeros BC. It had all of the points we have been hearing and reading about. Very good ad.
It’s easy to see the Demis position on this; no one cares what the Constitution says about immigration. We’re not going to REALLY implement the law on that issue. George W. spent eight years bending over to Mexico.
Why should we impose citizenship status on a presidential candidate? Hell, the only ones who’ll ever have to prove citizenship will be conservative candidates, and that will be just the jump.
He's right about the standing issue — it's absurd that the courts would find no standing when a citizen brings a lawsuit challenging eligibility.
He's right about the question: "Why is Obama fighting these requests?"
No wonder the MSM have blackballed Dr. Keyes. The MSM not only can't handle the truth but the MSM can't abide the truth being presented to the public.
Good video.
Lays out the argument so well that even moonbats could understand if they would watch.
Thank you for posting this, it is an excellent interview.

They certainly did not when McCain was subjected to the same exact issue. But, he produced an official document.

There will be time enough when the next Conservative President gets into the White House to make diligent enquiry into His Excellency’s true birth status.
If he is found to be a Kenyan by birth, I imagine there will have been a few laws broken by the ex-President and his accomplices. He may become the first ex-President to go to gaol.
While it might have been satisfying to trip him up before he gets sworn in, he’d probably escape punishment on a no-harm-no-foul basis. It actually might be even more fun to wait until after his terms in office, when there may be more material to work with.

Very well done. I’m sending this to my entire address list and ask that they pass it on as well. It’s obvious the MSM won’t show this video.
I wonder how long it will be before Kenya wants some special treatment or money from the US.
BUMP BUMP goes the truth in the night.
They lie because they can, and they know Americans have been dumbed down to accept MUCH more than even this.
They’re just getting STARTED!
Watch this to see how long it’s been going on.

If they can get away with that for a 1/2 century, then a birth certificate is easy. More is coming because they can.

“They lie because they can, and they know Americans have been dumbed down to accept MUCH more than even this”
No offense, but “dumbed down” is becoming as much of a cliché as “Bush’s fault”, I believe that the problem is character and moral courage, not knowledge. Sen. Obama’s qualification for office and the assault on our election process are two issues that will not be confronted because people in positions of authority/influence are complicit and/or unwilling to address them. We saw eight years of misconduct during the Clinton presidency and the only action was a perjury charge that they were too craven to seriously pursue, expect the same during the Obama presidency .... Only worse.
Super-duper video in language clearly stated, logical and reasoned.
Alan Keyes speaks intelligently and has numerous terrific points that do need to be addressed despite the cowardice of Rush Limbaugh, Neal Boortz and their little pet monkey, Sean, to even approach the subject.
But with that said, the entire “interview” is screwed from the get-go with the prefaced childish comments by the idiot interviewer.
Agree completely. We have the equivalent of children behaving poorly and getting away with it. This happens because the "Adults" don't want to confront them about their behavior nor do they want to hold them accountable for fear of being accused of whatever smarmy labels the "Children" wish to throw at them. Thus, the harmful behavior continues unabated and grows progressively worse each year.
Excellent.
“problem is character and moral courage, not knowledge.”
If you look at the YOUTUBE video link I posted, you’ll see if that is true, then it is the clear answer to what is probably the biggest “mystery” in American History. The answer is right there, it’s free, and even if you watch all 10 minutes, YOU and others on FREEREPUBLIC will NOT believe what is NOW obvious, at least NOT until the government and the press show you. You’ll probably reason that if the answer was this easy, then SOMEBODY in those thousands of books on the analysis of that mystery would have found this and shown it, THEREFORE, it could NOT be true.
The sad fact is that you’d be wrong if you reason that way because you assume that the “experts” want you to know the correct answer. In all probability, you’ll accept an obvious lie as an answer when the truth is hitting you in the side of the head!
Alan Keyes says he does NOT understand Obama spending over a $million to avoid showing a $12 piece of paper. Keyes can’t understand the OBVIOUS because he, like most Americans, does NOT understand history.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8_kIDP4EQ0
By the way, I know that answer is true, I do not show you the proof as it would require the viewer to THINK, something I find few do anymore. I don’t know for sure that Obama is lying about where he is born, but until he produces a valid birth certificate, I will assume the OBVIOUS is true and that he is NOT eligible to be President because he continues to lie.
Regards!
Well worth the 13 minutes it takes to listen to the video. Alan Keyes’ clarity of mind is breathtaking. Why is he not our President-Elect? Not my fault anyway. I voted for him twice.
The phrase "I don't understand how " doesn't mean one does not understand . It is a rhetorical device and not to be understood literally.
I don't know how you could not understand this. ;)

“I don’t know for sure that Obama is lying about where he is born”
The traversity is that Sen. Obama nor his party will comply with the legal requirements for his candidacy and the states have not met their responsibility to ensure that the requirements are meet. It seems that the only remedy is destined to be through the courts (a long shot) or it will have to play out to some conclusion yet unknown. The SC requirements are posted below.
“The written certification required by this section must contain a statement that each certified candidate meets, or will meet by the time of the general election, or as otherwise required by law, the qualifications in the United States Constitution, statutory law, and party rules to participate in the presidential preference primary for which he has filed. Political parties must not certify any candidate who does not or will not by the time of the general election meet the qualifications in the United States Constitution, statutory law, and party rules for the presidential preference primary for which the candidate desires to file, and such candidate’s name must not be placed on a primary ballot.”
Unfortunately, the introductory first sixty seconds of this video is a boring irritant. Please make sure you advise that your viewers skip the first minute of the video or they may dismiss the entire thing and not hear Keyes’s well-delivered message.
Please post the link as I was about to the edit the video to delete the intro, good message but MOST are NOT going to wade through 15 seconds much less a minute PLUS.
bump for later
I’ve wondered for years why the Republican Party didn’t give him the platform and promote him until he was a winnable candidate. I think he is too clear thinking and too conservative. The man is stunningly intelligent, highly educated, has so much experience that he could throw away 9/10 of it and be better qualified than the O, so what gives oh GOP of my father? Why would you run an old liberal Senator over such a man?
Recommended viewing for those who still don’t “get it”.
bttt

There will be laws broken by NObama, as he already has done so, along with the DNC.
What is an even bigger elephant in the room is the fact that his lack of eligibility will negate any and all laws, treaties, commanding orders for the military, etc that NObama signs until the birth certificate issue is settled.
Thanks for the link. It seems to be asking the right questions.
Keyes will have standing for the SCOTUS “Conference” by the Justices because he actually is one of the candidates. If I’m not mistaken, his “Conference” is set for January 23.
You said — “There will be time enough when the next Conservative President gets into the White House to make diligent enquiry into His Excellencys true birth status.”
I don’t know what’s wrong with the present President doing that very thing. In fact, I would say that he probably already has, given the news that I’ve read about the subject. I can’t see where President Bush has not checked on it already and (by his inaction) has found no violation of the Constitutional requirement for office of the President of the United States. I’ve stated the circumstances elsewhere, where he would have known, given some earlier circumstances — and thus one would have to say that Bush is either part of a conspiracy to cover it up, or there is no problem (from Bush’s investigation).
Now, since President Bush is sworn to uphold the Constitution, I believe that he would abide by that oath, and thus it indicates to me that President Bush has seen it’s not a problem...

I looked at the video and thought it was a good account. I never did believe the Warren Commission and thought that the magic bullet was a ridiculous accounting of what happened... LOL..
And I also don’t think that Oswald was involved with it, but was set up. How convenient that Ruby shot him and then Ruby was gone, next. But, then again, I’m not going to prove or disprove any of it, so it’s long gone for me, even if I was there at the time it happened.

As far as this current affair with Obama being eligible or not, I think if President Bush has not taken action against Obama for violating this Constitutional requirement (and he would know...), it’s obviously not a violation. Or else, one would have to say that President Bush is involved in a conspiracy to cover up the matter, along with Obama. Then that goes on down the line to many others in the Administration who would also have access to that knowledge and information about Obama.
I’m not like Berg where I think that Bush was involved in the 9/11 attack. I don’t think that and neither do I think President Bush is involved in the covering up information for Obama, being that President Bush does know this information and whether Obama is qualified....
Voila! The obvious answer, and it's so obvious it's pure genius.
All that needs to be done to put this whole thing to bed is for somebody to ASK BUSH. He has nothing to lose and nothing to gain by merely commenting on what he already knows.
Of course Bush knows! Anybody who thinks he's stupid is stupid themselves: he will have checked, exactly like you said.
I salute you sir! Well done!
Well, thanks, but I didn’t think it was that big of a stretch to come up with that... LOL...
> Well, thanks, but I didnt think it was that big of a stretch to come up with that... LOL...
If it were as easy as all that, I woulda thunkit! Me and all the others who are curious to know where in Kenya Obama was born... (grin!)
Bush knows — you are 100% right about that. If he isn’t worried then it means only one of two things: he is either completely satisfied, or he is so completely p!ssed off at the way he’s been treated that he doesn’t care.
I’m an optimist: I suspect the first of the two.
You were saying — “Bush knows you are 100% right about that. If he isnt worried then it means only one of two things: he is either completely satisfied, or he is so completely p!ssed off at the way hes been treated that he doesnt care.”
You know..., there was something that came to mind that I thought I would put in here. In regards to “information” and “evidence”. It’s a lot easier to “get information” so that you know the truth of a matter, than it is to get evidence that one can prove with documents in courts. One particular reason (for example) is that the government has access to a lot of “information” that it cannot disclose, because of how it was obtained and who is involved in getting it and how it exposes their methodology and even “ability” (of getting the information). But, once the “information” is known, then the government can decide to go the “legal route” and prosecute an individual through legal channels.
Now, with this “thinking” in mind, I believe it’s easy for a lot of people to “get the information” about Obama’s qualifications by many different surreptitious means, but in doing so (in that manner), they can’t use it in a court of law or as documents (because it’s not “provable” as it would be illegally obtained).
The government has access to it all (most of it, anyway...) and can access any database or record, anywhere — and especially the President, himself (through his office, and *especially so* on the grounds of possible terrorist threat, if nothing else).
Now, the fact that Obama’s passport info was accessed (and you know that there are backups upon backups... :-) ... ) — there would be no doubt that the Secretary of State and the President (to whom she reports) and other officials concerned with the security of that info, plus the many who had to do the reports for other officials, all had access to this info, in the course of doing their investigation. None of them has made an issue of Obama being illegally qualified under the Constitutional requirements. If he were, they would all be *duty bound* to have an investigation started and have him prosecuted and removed as a candidate, right away. They didn’t, Secretary of State Rice didn’t, the President of the United States didn’t — and I don’t think that everyone is engaging in a massive coverup on behalf of Obama, in the Republican Administration of George Bush.
Now..., having said all that, it would be easy for Bush to instruct the Attorney General at the Justice Department to launch a secret investigation (i.e., “going the legal route”) by means of a secret indictment, against Obama, for lying about his qualifications to be President under the requirements of the United States Constitution, and to arrest Obama (as a candidate) when that investigation is completed and the indictment is made known. That can *easily* be done, if there is a problem with Obama’s qualifications under the Constitution.
That would be the duty of the President of the United States, as it would be a threat to the United States, if he were to allow this fraud to go on. I have no doubt that President Bush would do his duty.
Now, while many here have disagreed with President Bush on many different policy matters (and so have I), it doesn’t mean that President Bush is conspiring to coverup an illegal attempt by Obama to become President when the Constitutional requirement for office is not adhered to.
This is why I see that several of the posters who are *absolutely sure* (without any legal, court evidence, mind you...) that Obama is not qualified are “really” making this out to be a conspiracy of epic proportions (by the thinking in their own heads), involving the entire Republican Administration, all the Republican Senators and Representatives, and all the conservative media and *most* of the conservatives, themselves — in order to cover for Obama. Such a conspiracy of such grand proportions is simply ... well... you get the idea...
So, looking at it all in a common sense and everyday manner, it just doesn’t “work” for it to be this kind of grand conspiracy...

Bush may be unhappy with the way he’s been portrayed by much of the media and even by his own people that voted for him, but I don’t believe that this is going to create a “Benedict Arnold” out of President George Bush. It would seem that several here on Free Republic apparently do think so, that President Bush is indeed Benedict Arnold of this century and is covering up for Obama...
In that frame of mind and thinking, they are like Berg, who in addition to filing on the case about Obama’s qualifications — also has another case about 9/11 and how Bush was complicit in that attack. It’s no wonder Berg is taking on this item, as Berg already thinks that Bush is covering up for his involvement in the 9/11 attack, so why wouldn’t Berg think that Bush is covering up for Obama, now...?
Did anyone notice that Obama was “invited” to visit the Supreme
Court yesterday? The tv said by justice Roberts.
Very powerful video.
You said — “Did anyone notice that Obama was invited to visit the Supreme Court yesterday? The tv said by justice Roberts.”
Yes, and since the Supreme Court justices certainly are prohibited from talking about any “cases” with the parties who have been invited (that would disqualify them from hearing these cases, doncha know...) — the “discussion topic” is the raise that the Supreme Court has been asking for — from Congress — for a long while now. I would imagine that they’re going to “make their case” for a *raise* that they’ve been saying they deserve....
And who better to “make the case” with, then the incoming President?
[... and that is not a topic that is “off limits” for the justices to talk about... :-) ...]
You said — “Why wouldn’t Obama simply settle this by producing a a birth certificate for $12.50?”
I would say that he wants to “thumb his nose” at a certain segment of the right side of the political spectrum and let them “spin their wheels” for a long time, sidelining them from anything meaningful in regular political circles — and marginalizing them...
That sounds like his political plan — especially in light of Chief Editor Korir, over at API (African Press International) who said he had the tape from Obama’s wife, saying that Obama was not born in the U.S. — and then later (after a lot of people were clamoring to get it released), Korir basically told everyone it was a hoax and that he did it to *punish stupid people* for believing such an outlandish story. It’s called the Dark Socratic methodology and ole Chief Editor Korir carried that right along.
And, by the way, Berg was even Chief Editor Korir’s lawyer in the U.S. for a while, until he realized that he had been *hoaxed* too. And Ed Hale (of that Internet radio program) was also sucked into that hoax...
So, hucksters are able to pull in a lot of people (and even people here on Free Republic) with the kinds of “conspiracy minded thinking” that is going on...
There is no reasonable doubt, indeed not a scintilla of doubt that Barfsack was born in Kenya — the evidence upholding this fact is overwheming and he has not provided a whiff of evidence to refute it (save an Hawaiian “certificate” proven to have been doctored and the ludicrously conflicting statements of relatives). No, when he takes the oath to uphold the Constitution, he will be a liar and perjuror because he knows full well the circumstances of his birth. Therefore I will never recognize him as my president. I will be a political sede vacantist.
Could you please point us to that evidence?
