We don’t need no stinkin’ Constitution!
If it was proved today that Obama was born in Kenya, who would do anything about it?

I wonder if so many supposed conservatives shy away from this issue so they won’t get branded by the media?
I am surprised at Horowitz.
Bill O’Reilly addressed this last night and as usualignored reality and made up other stuff.
of course now the obamites are saying no one can get an original out of Hi but that is flat out not true.
the obamites have put one over on many, but failed with Freepers
i donwanna talk bout it; stonewall it; shaddap; bs alla da folks allda time; stfu; huh?; yes and no; depends, etc, etc.
doublespeal light...
People do not understand the concept of how easy it is to destroy the country by ignoring the small things.
For example, you guys would be laden down with the huge debt if the the belief in being debt free had been respected.
By not respecting the smallest part of the constitution, you are opening up the probability (not just possibility) that your constitution is going to be rendered ineffectual and meaningless.
I don’t understand their way of thinking. This country is overrun now with illegals and the possibility of the President not being eligible is a real one. It would be a very simple matter to prove yeah or nay. If we have a President who by his very being is not eligible; what is to stop others and eventually we will end up with our enemy being our leader.
The question is simple and it needs to be answered truthfully.
Horowitz, like so many Jewish people in our history, has always protected the Jewish community by ignoring the question of legitimate entry, or by attacking those who do question it.
This doesn't mean Horowitz and Malkin are not nice people ~ they may be. At the same time that also means both of them have a personal interest in maintaining the status quo. In short, neither should be trusted when it comes to any issue impinging on immigration, immigrants, or the status of their offspring.
Frankly I think Michelle could do a great deal of good for the Philippines and if she got sent there it wouldn't hurt this country at all. With modern computers and communications systems she can write her stuff as readily on Cebu as in New York.

Obama and the Natural Born Citizen Clause
This is a dead issue. I’ve said before even if obama admitted he was born in Kenya, but didn’t know it until recently, nobody who could do anything WOULD do anything.
Unfortunately, the term was not defined in the Constitution, and has become yet another supposedly quaint notion of the founders that has become all but a dead letter.
I find it particularly outrageous that the Supremes decided to avoid discovering what NBC actually meant; or rather, as I'm all but certain that many of them do know, they decided for the sake of political expediency to ignore the issue. However, isn't constitutional interpretation supposed to be their very function, and the politically consequences - particularly to certain constitutional usurpers who occupy the WH - be damned?
Conservative intelligentsia is in a tizzy over birthers running wild and stealing the show. Relax guys. Leave the birthers alone, and quit playing the liberal game of trashing conservatives who aren’t on the genteel reservation. Malkin, Horowitz, Coulter and their favorite politicians should take a deep breath and relax. All the other issues are still going to get discussed and beaten into the ground. We will be inundated by the whole spectrum of political debate before 2012 rolls around. Quit insulting your fellow travelers who aren’t above the eligibility issue. They will probably turn out to be right.
It’s the Constitution, stupid.
Pundits have tried to peg the Tea Party as being about spending and nothing more. Wrong! At it’s core, the Tea Party movement is about getting back to the Constitution.
It’s about respecting (and following) the principles the country was founded upon. The ones that have been encapsulated in our Constitution.
And yes, that includes “silly little clauses” like the one stating the president must be a natural born citizen.
We can argue about the meaning of NBC, but we can’t ignore it. Ignoring it means you can ignore any part of the Constitution you disagree with.
I sure hope Mittens gets vetted properly. His grandfather and father were born in Mexico. It doesn’t seem to be clear if his father was naturalized or not.
You do realize this is an old article.
“December 09, 2008
Obama and the Natural Born Citizen Clause”
The “posted” date is supposed to be the date the article was published on the internet, in this case in 2008.
That said, this was an excellent article and a needed recap of where this issue has been and where it’s going.
Thanks.
If the words ‘natural born citizen’ in the Constitution are meaningless to David Horowitz, Michelle Malkin, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Mark Levin, Ann Coulter, etc….. and could mean anything then you some of us have better start wondering what other clauses of words of the Constitution are really not that important as well to these so-called conservatives.
Possibly ‘We the People’ could actually include cats, dogs, trees, and even the kitchen sink. Perhaps when the word ‘States’ is used it could also include foreign states as well. Perhaps the word ‘religion’ could actually mean anything at all that someone believes.
Anyone who claims that the words of the Constitution are not important and that an issue dealing with the meaning of the Constitution is not important is not important themselves and is certainly not truly a conservative.
I remain stunned...that the people in this country do not care whether the constitution has been followed in the election of the President of the US. How can a real American NOT want to pursue this?????
A lot of difference, considering it impacts his Constitutional qualifications for the presidency.
