'Birther' book soars
CNN ^ | May 31, 2011 | Gabriella Schwarz

Posted on 05/31/2011 11:13:45 AM PDT by Smokeyblue

A new book, now number six on the New York Times' Best Sellers list, is putting the so-called "birther" issue back on the national stage.

"Where's the Birth Certificate?" by Jerome Corsi, which debuted on the list out Sunday, argues President Obama is not a natural-born U.S. citizen and therefore cannot be president.

"Corsi demonstrates conclusively that no legal authority has ever verified Obama's legal eligibility to be president," the book reads.

Corsi also wrote "The Obama Nation" and "Unfit for Command," a 2004 book about Sen. John Kerry that focused on the "Swift Boat" television ads.

Great job. The Constitution is clear. To be eligible to be president one must be a “natural born citizen”. To be a “natural born” citizen one must be born IN this country to parents who are citizens. Back in the early 50’ this was taught in 4th grade civics.

Schools dropped civics for social studies and few people know anything about our Constitution any more

They are probably posting from the new official White House on-line media infiltration office.

Why are radio hosts so stupid on this issue?

_________________________________________

Good as place as any to rant a little here. I rarely listen to Rush Limbaugh. Yesterday I was off. I was in the car running errands, so I switched over to the AM station featuring El Rushbo.

I could only listen for 3 minutes as he blathered on and on and on about how Liz Taylor and some other people took a drive to Ohio right after 9/11. Because they couldn’t fly.

Really? Seriously?

I suspect that out of a 3 hour show - only 10 minutes of it is worth listening to. I can’t afford to waste my time on bloviating BS like this.

Your language reminds me that there are some very crass and ill-mannered folks here on Free Republic.

I think the article is hilariously spiteful. It is obvious that the author has no idea what the book is about, did not read a page of it, and would NEVER deign to actually describe even one of Corsi’s key points.

Flame me if you like, by the way. I will not respond. I simply do not think it is appropriate or even remotely entertaining to use this venerable forum for posts like yours, which make us all seem like a bunch of degenerates.

I read it by the pool on vacation last week.

Got some interesting looks from passer bys.

The Ct soc sec no is clearly identity theft.

We birthers will come back.

I believe as Mr. Corsi writes that Stanley Ann had mom & dad register little Barack's birth in Hawaii after she gave birth in Kenya.

Parental notification, even grandparents, affidavit was all that was needed. The grandparents registering Barack's birth generated the birth announcements.

Stanley Ann jetted back to the USA few months later to drop little Barack off with Gramps & Toot and headed off to college on the mainland.

Thus the confusion early on about which Hospital he was born.

And not one hospital person has come forward to say, "Yeah, I remember that Black & White couple".

It's really great that you spend so much time on the natural-born thing. I agree with your conclusions, but it's hardly as cut and dried as you suggest. Consider:
The citizens of each state constituted the citizens of the United States when the Constitution was adopted. The rights which appertained to them as citizens of those respective commonwealths, accompanied them in the formation of the great, compound commonwealth which ensued. They became citizens of the latter, without ceasing to be citizens of the former, and he who was subsequently born a citizen of a state, became at the moment of his birth a citizen of the United States. Therefore every person born within the United States, its territories or districts, whether the parents are citizens or aliens, is a natural born citizen in the sense of the Constitution, and entitled to all the rights and privileges appertaining to that capacity.

Obviously the boy(probably a girl) does not know what "degenerate" even means..

de·gen·er·ate/diˈjenərāt/ Verb: Decline or deteriorate physically, mentally, or morally. Adjective: Having lost the physical, mental, or moral qualities considered normal and desirable; showing evidence of decline.

"Corsi demonstrates conclusively that no legal authority has ever verified Obama's legal eligibility to be president," the book reads.

That was the do-over, just to make sure.

What was untrue about his post? I thought it was an excellent summary. On the other hand, what is offensive and degenerate is to use this forum to spread unsupportable myths, canards, and lies about Obama when the truth is quite bad enough.

BTW, Obama's condition of bastardy (due to his mother's marriage being invalid because of BHO, Sr.'s bigamy) is precisely what would make him still natural born even if he really was born outside the US (he clearly was born in Honolulu).
