Arpaio: I briefed Santorum on birth certificate investigation
CNN ^ | 02/21/12 | Jim Acosta

Posted on 02/21/2012 6:38:28 PM PST by writer33

Phoenix (CNN) – Joe Arpaio, the sheriff of Maricopa County, Arizona, briefed GOP contender Rick Santorum on his investigation into President Barack Obama's birth certificate, the controversial law enforcement official told reporters Tuesday.

After a speech to a Republican gathering in Phoenix where Santorum appeared earlier in the day, Arpaio explained he wanted to inform the candidate of his investigation "as a matter of fairness in case he wouldn't want me to support him."

Arpaio said he plans to endorse one of the four remaining GOP candidates in the coming weeks. But the sheriff added he would not make his choice known before he announces the findings of his birth certificate probe at a news conference set for March 1st. This endorsement would be his second in the race; in November 2011, he endorsed then-candidate Rick Perry.

Looks like things continue to stay “heated”. And I am not referring to the global warming issue.

“Wouldn’t it be nice for me to do that?”

“Nice”

Isn’t this guy the one who makes Maricopa County inmates wear pink underwear and eat baloney sandwiches in tent cities in the desert heat?

“Nice,” coming from this man, is a smile with teeth in it.

Any word on whether or not he has briefed the other candidates? I worry about Santorum for the simple reason that he served in the Senate WITH Obama, and was in the Senate during the 2008 election when he would have had a chance to say AND do something about the problems all the way back then.

Anyway, for the sake of the country I really hope Sheriff Joe has found things solid and concrete on Obama that at the very least raise SERIOUS doubt as to his fitness to rule our country, as well as the possible fraud of the entire DNC nominating “committee” or whomever is responsible for this matter, including Pelosi herself.

God Bless and Protect Sheriff Joe, and all those working in this quest for the truth. I sometimes feel as though people with any sense of logic and justice are a very rare breed.

Yes, but those same courts might have trouble claiming that an entire state does not have standing, and there are a few governors who I think might try it, if they had proof.

I hope you are right.

"...controversial law enforcement official..."

Controversial, CNN? Our sovereignty and the security of our borders is controversial? You dirty pile of unwashed wet laundry. You're traitors, and you abuse your freedom of the press.

"I briefed Santorum on Birth Certificate Investigation"

I thought the issue with us conservatives was not the Usurper's birth certificate per se, but the citizenship of his father.

At any rate, I don't have good vibes at all about any earth-shaking conclusions emanating from the good sheriff's investigation.

I almost desperately hope he proves me incorrect.

There’s not much reason to hold a press conference if there’s nothing to announce.

Very few Conservatives think that the Citizenship of Obama’s father is important at all, as long as Obama was born in the United States.

All that indicates is that a large number of people are ignorant of the underlying issues involved. That's pretty much true on any subject.

Very, very few conservative legal experts agree with the “two citizen parent” idea.

An old, tired meme with no merit.

What you're doing, Kansas58, is called psychological reinforcement. It's used in psychological warfare. You present something as factual when it isn't.
@The Battle for Your Mind - Propaganda, PR and PsyOps

"If you think about how you think, you will find your mind is made of memories, facts, and that sort of thing; you picked these up through continual reinforcement... Using a computer metaphor, your mind is hardware (the grey matter, providing you with senses, nerve endings, neurons) and software (combined from that odd core of your being that is doing the reflecting, and the material it is reflecting upon, kind of like a computer program and its data). That isn't the whole story, of course; there is an unidentified extra component, the 'wetware,' that gives you free will, volition, self-awareness. We know next to nothing about how this piece works; it appears to be an odd combination of chaotic and stochastic processes, transcending both. About the only thing we know for certain about the human mind is that we haven't even begun to utilize it to its full potential." Michael Wilson, from: "Memetic Engineering PsyOps and Viruses for the Wetware"

You haven't changed at all, Kansas58. You're still aping intelligence.

How many elected officials are Conservative Republicans?

How many of those elected officials agree with you?

VERY few!

You are good with insults, you have many.

You are not very good at disproving my points.

More evidence of psychological reinforcement.

Santorum has not stated that he supports the “two citizen parent” requirement.

Arpaio has not stated taht he supports the “two citizen parent” requirement.

I am sure the radical birthers will jump all over both Santorum and Arpaio if either/both of them end up supporting the MAJORITY conservative view:

Natural Born Citizen means Citizen at Birth and NOTHING ELSE!


“It is an established maxim, received by all political writers that every person owes a natural allegiance to the government of that country in which he is born. Allegiance is defined to be a tie, that binds the subject to the state, and in consequence of his obedience, he is entitled to protection… The children of aliens, born in this state, are considered as natural born subjects, and have the same rights with the rest of the citizens.”
Zephaniah Swift, A system of the laws of the state of Connecticut: in six books, Volumes 1-2 of A System of the Laws of the State of Connecticut: pg. 163,167 (1795)
http://press-pubs.uchicago.edu/founders/documents/a1_2_2s6.html
The following is an enormous list of legal citations, from Obama operatives, but you need to know what you are up against:
http://nativeborncitizen.wordpress.com/natural-born-quotes/
James Madison, The Founders’ Constitution Volume 2, Article 1, Section 2, Clause 2,
Madison:
It is an established maxim that birth is a criterion of allegiance. Birth however derives its force sometimes from place and sometimes from parentage, but in general place is the most certain criterion; it is what applies in the United States; it will therefore be unnecessary to investigate any other.
