What bugs me about the whole birther thing is this; With the total lack of transparency that was promised to the american people, the daily reduction of civil liberties, the mishandling of our economy, and the power grabs by this administration, why is THIS what makes news? Queue Rod Serling please. We have truly entered The Twilight Zone.
I do believe that Obama was born in Hawaii, but the real issue is the fact that he led people to believe he was from Kenya when it was convenient for him to achieve his goals. Its this lie of his that has perpetuated the birther debate. Obama is the one that created the controversy.
Donald Trump is not someone to be held in high moral regard. He is a shill for the neocons, and he vastly enjoys the privileges brought about by the corporate-state(aka public-private partnerships). He does not seek to spread ideas that are supportive of peace, prosperity and freedom. However, I do enjoy his lambasting of anyone in the mainstream media. Wolf Blitzer is a talking head just the same as anyone else on tv (save for people like Andrew Napolitano), but he is not crude in his decorum. This enables Wolf to project a "respectable," and "objective" persona, which makes anything useless or dangerous that he says palatable to the masses. Blitzer may be a great guy personally, but tv is often not a good thing.
Even if Obama was born in Kenya, his mom was an American and he was born as an American. We do not have a specific definition for "Natural Born Citizen" but it seems that this would meet the bill.
He was born a Kenyan (or British) thanks to his father and an American thanks to his mother which suggests dual citizenship, or does simply having an American parent trump other nationalities? One must consider the US and Kenyan/British citizenship laws in place at the time of his birth. Critical to this issue is location of his birth. McCain was not American born, i.e, born in the US which suggests "natural born citizen", but on US territory.
Donald Trump, a creation and user of the banksters. What a phoney!!!
ReplyDeleteI actually respect Donald for going toe-to-toe on this issue!
