About the Birth Certificate
FrontPageMag.com ^ | 4-22-11 | Ben Shapiro

Posted on 04/22/2011 8:16:23 AM PDT by UltraConservative

Linked from BenjaminShapiro.com because the link at Drudge has crashed FrontPageMag.com's servers.

Two days ago, Matt Drudge linked to a new book by Jerome Corsi, unflinchingly titled Where’s the Birth Certificate? The book immediately leapt to number one on Amazon.com, where it has remained ever since. The media has shown its usual incredulity at the "indisputable" stupidity of the American people. How could so many people question President Obama’s birthplace? How could they wonder about his origins? Are they all simply racist?

The answer, of course, is that Americans are desperately seeking an answer to a simple question: why does President Obama appear to be so un-American? The term un-American here is not synonymous with anti-American (though Obama has been that on occasion); instead, it merely signifies that President Obama is unconcerned with typical American principles and traditions. He sees capitalism as selfish and evil, religion as dangerous and oppressive; he sees the Constitution as antiquated and entrepreneurialism as exploitative.

He is the representative of the Fareed Zakaria ideology at work, celebrating the post-American world.

When America elects a president like this, many Americans begin wondering how it happened. There are always two answers to such difficult questions: the first is optimistically externally-oriented, while the second is realistically reflexive.

Read the rest here.

>Republican candidate: “I won’t bow to any foreign leader. I won’t apologize for America.”

Sadly, I think you’re wrong... we’ll likely get something like, oh...
Republican candidate: Mitt Romney or Jeb Bush.

IMO that would be worse than even re-electing Obama for the simple reason that many people would equate “change in the little letter by the President’s name” with actually effecting change in the system — and it is imperative that the majority of Americans do not think that if we are to actually change the course of the country.

Just having Obama suddenly producing a genuine Birth Certificate isn't going to satisfy me....

What in Hell else has he been hiding?

One of the threads implied that he had gotten US funds as a Foreign Student!

Primetime Propaganda: The True Hollywood Story of How the Left Took Over Your TV [Hardcover]

******************EXCERPTS****************P>

*********************************************

Product Description

The inside story of how the most powerful medium of mass communication in human history has become a propaganda tool for the Left

Primetime Propaganda is the story—told in their own words—of how television has been used over the past sixty years by Hollywood writers, producers, actors, and executives to promote their liberal ideals, to push the envelope on social and political issues, and to shape America in their own leftist image.

In this thoroughly researched and detailed history of the television industry, conservative columnist and author Ben Shapiro argues that left-leaning entertainment kingpins in Los Angeles and New York have leveraged—and continue to use—their positions and power to push liberal messages and promote the Democratic Party while actively discriminating against their opponents on the right. According to Shapiro, television isn't just about entertainment—it's an attempt to convince Americans that the social, economic, and foreign policy shaped by leftism is morally righteous.

But don't take his word for it. Shapiro interviewed more than one hundred of the industry's biggest players, including Larry Gelbart (M*A*S*H), Fred Silverman (former president of ABC Entertainment, NBC, and vice president of programming at CBS), Marta Kauffman (Friends), David Shore (House), and Mark Burnett (Survivor). Many of these insiders boast that not only is Hollywood biased against conservatives, but that many of the shows being broadcast have secret political messages. With this groundbreaking exposÉ, readers will never watch television the same way again.

Shapiro is the author of the national bestsellers Brainwashed, Porn Generation, and Project President, and hosts The Ben Shapiro Show in Orlando, Florida. He is married and lives in Los Angeles.

Congress willingly and knowingly violated the Constitution in approving SR 511, which tried to make Obama as well as McCain eligible. They want the issue to be ignored because exposing Obama would expose their own treasonous acts.

Obama’s DOJ refuses “standing.” SCOTUS says Congress must send them something to rule on. Congress refuses.

The military special forces should detain certain people at Gitmo and waterboard them: Perkins-Coie, who is hiding Obama’s records, also McCaskill, Coburn, Leahy SR 511), Howard Dean (who forced Hillary’s delegates to switch to Obama), Pelosi (who forged eligibility papers), etc. We are no longer a nation of laws but of a dictator, who possesses the power given to Bush after 911.

Well, it is all over, it’s just that most Americans and especially black Americans haven’t realize it yet. But they will, they will. Sadly, it is already too late.

“half black”
Not true if his father is Obama Sr! Do your research please.


What the hell are you talking about? A white mother and a black father means half-black or half-white. Are you for real?

I don’t agree. John McCain had an established American lineage that included admirals in the military and was born in the Panama canal zone. The founding fathers were not trying to exclude candidates from military families that just happened to be born on US bases. I have no problem with that resolution.

On the other hand the founders were trying to prevent unknowns like obama with no real American lineage and born on foreign soil from seizing power.

I understand what you are saying but the problem with McCain is not his heritage.

I agree. The NYT was running articles about McCain to avoid vetting Obama. McCaskill used that as a smokescreen (her S 2678 failed) to put a clause in SR 511, “Whereas previous presidential candidates were born outside of the United States of America and were UNDERSTOOD to be eligible to be President; and..” as a way to sneak Obama past Constitutional requirements.

I never thought McCain was ineligible, but repubs were so determined to get him past any questions. they signed SR 511, a non-binding, unconstitutional attempt to bypass the natural-born citizen requirement, thus showing their contempt for the Constitution. Even Tom Coburn (R-OK) co-sponsored the resolution.

0bama et al consistently play a zero-sum game. Point. Counterpoint. Nothing. This is how they defray complaint or push their radicalism.

The problem for them is the truth. And the truth is not going away. It is our last line of defense. That the Left attacks it simply magnifies what’s obvious.

I’m wondering if BHO’s name is an anagram, maybe even a dyslixic one, with letters turned around. Or, that when he speaks of sneaking into the country and then wanting to be accepted because someone is here, he is actually telling you about himself. The poison this person spews is venemous to freedom. He obviously wants it to be lethal to the USofA.

Interesting take and if true that really makes my blood boil. I don’t put it past those cowards. One possible rationale that comes to mind is that the Republican cowards thought if they challenged Obama’s eligibility they would be called racists etc Or perhaps they thought it would get into a squabble back and forth and a challenge of McCain’s eligibility so they decided to take the whole issue off the table. Any number of explanations could be possible with that bunch

Well, you’re right, of course, but I don’t trust the Donald, even if he does pull the covers off our mysterious POTUS because I’m still burning from that punk Schwartzenrenneger!!! No more inexperienced, or previously unelected to anything, or celebrity/businessman types, period!!!
