Constitutional crisis looming?

Constitutional crisis looming?

Posted on 24 July 2009

By Patrick Wood, Editor

The inflam ma tory issue of Bar rack Obama’s birth cer tifi cate is gath ering steam across America: Was he or was he not born in the United States?

If he was born any where other than on Amer ican soil, then his pres i dency is inval i dated. Why? The Con sti tu tion of the United States point edly requires that the Pres i dent be a nat ural born citizen.

Defusing the issue would be easy: Obama could simply pro vide a legit i mate and com plete birth cer tifi cate proving his birth loca tion. Not only has he stub bornly refused to do so, but he has spent sev eral mil lion dol lars in legal fees to thwart var ious cit izen law suits that demand proper disclosure.

Obama has also legally cloaked records that could poten tially sup port or dis credit his cit i zen ship claims, like school records and tran scripts from Har vard and Occi dental Col lege. Some inves ti ga tors sus pect that he may have applied for admis sion as a for eign student.

The pack of critics (called “birthers” by Obama defenders) is get ting larger by the day. Lou Dobbs and Rush Lim­baugh are both talking about it. WorldNet Daily devoted an entire issue of Whistle Blower Mag a zine to it. Lawyers have filed dozens of law suits. Mil i tary offi cers are chal lenging poten tially illegal orders to be deployed to combat zones over seas. Left-wing orga ni za tions are being drawn into vocal oppo si tion, thus stir ring the pot even more.

As the battle heats up, the attacks on the “birthers” by their detrac tors (mostly left-wing) is taking on a familiar pat tern. The former are being being ruth lessly ridiculed, scorned and mar gin al ized as the “lunatic fringe.”

So far, nei ther side has blinked. Nei ther is willing to give an inch. The battle lines have been drawn.

Herein lies the problem.

Bar rack Obama’s approval rating is already drop ping like a rock and the public is more sharply polar ized than ever.18778

After just six months in office, Obama has fared worse than even Jimmy Carter in 1976, whose out ra geous acts had  enraged the Amer ican public like none before him. Carter had no chance of serving a second term.

Many Democ rats have already pulled away from Obama, fearing that he is a) too far to the left or b) pur­suing a nar cis sistic agenda that leaves them out of the picture.

Obama should have balked during his cam paign when sup porters and his cap tive media com pared him to the Mes siah. Every body hailed Jesus Christ when he appeared in Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, but less than three days later, they demanded his execution.

Per haps Obama was con vinced by his han dlers that nobody would care about this nat ural born cit izen thing. Or, per haps they con vinced him that he could get away with it even if they did care.

What Obama may not know is that these same han dlers might soon offer him up as a cheap sac ri fice in order to force a Con sti tu tional crisis.

Why? Because it would almost cer tainly require a Con sti tu tional Con ven tion to straighten out the mess. Every Pres den tial act would be inval i dated. Civil unrest would be ram pant. Chaos would reign, and chaos is the desired envi­ron ment for the powers behind Obama.

With every passing day that the birth issue is not resolved in Obama’s favor, the odds will per sis tently increase that a Con sti tu tional crisis will soon unfold, and that America will be polar ized like never before in history.

    What I find inter esting is that this same “con ser v a tive” media was silent on this issue when it would have been pos sible to fix the problem. Now they are grousing about it. Con versely, they lam basted Ron Paul during the cam paign, but are trying to make him their media dar ling now that he poses no direct elec toral threat.

    I think the Obama cit i zen ship issue is the way that they can kick him to the curb if things don’t go their way or that they can hold over his head if he steps out of line. 

    I wonder if in fact these han dlers have already con cluded that he is not going to suc ceed on a number of fronts and are using Lim baugh and com pany to stir up the issue. Although it seems to be a more labor inten sive route than the approach taken with pre vious pres i dents who either stepped out of line or “failed to make the cut”.

    Odd, the “con ser v a tive media” that I follow wasn’t silent AT ALL on this issue before thee elec tion. As a person who really WAS born in Hawaii, it par tic u larly irks me to see this wahahe’e kumakaia try to claim it. maybe I should be pres i dent, after all, I can pro duce an actual birth cer tifi cate from Hawaii. ma halo

    Excel lent article. Common sense should tell “anyone” that some thing is amiss when a person has to spend mil­lions to hide data that is “sup posed” to be a con fir ma tion of that per sons spoken words.

    The socialist Left prefer to attack those seeking proof of these ‘sup posed truths’ by spewing insults and lies about them. Very typ ical of the ‘Left Leaners’ indeed. 

    It is a sad world when people cannot trust anyone’s ‘word’ any more. But that is what this world has come to, due to greed, ego and the lust for power that has gripped this nation’s leaders… and the world.
    When you trash your Cre ator and the Ten Com mand ments, you end up with a free-for-all on what’s right or wrong, true or false, real or imag ined, etc.

    The chaos has already begun in the hearts and the minds of many of our elected leaders and their brain washed min ions. We need to speak up again and again, while we still can. We must defend our God hon oring Con sti tu­tion at all costs.

    Thank good ness for fine, upstanding cit i zens like Lou Dobbs and Rush Lim baugh. Their rep u ta tions for intel lec­tual and impar tial rea soning is legend. Together they are leading the vast unwashed majority to the path of righteousness.

    The Gov ernor of Hawaii and the director of vital records are most cer tainly involved in this nefar ious plot, as they con tinue to main tain that Mr. Obama was born in their fair state in 1961. And some where in Hawaii is a news­paper pub lisher who was paid vast sums to pro duce a well thought out phony birth announce ment —  – the fore­sight of this group is amazing, to say the least. Nat u rally, they all real ized that Mr. and Mrs. Obama’s child would find him self in a com pro mising posi tion when he was elected Pres i dent some 48 years later, and would need as much cover as pos sible. Reminds one of the Manchurian Can di date. Who else is out there that needs to be exposed? Per haps Sarah Palin is really from Russia, and she could see Alaska from her house as a child.

    I have always believed that the proof is in the pud ding. I would like to see sup porting data to back up what’s written in this article. The author/journalist shouldn’t have any problem citing the source(s). I thought that the birth cer tifi cate issue was set tled and didn’t think much of it because I (wrongly) assumed the frothing-at-the-mouth con ser v a tives, like Rush, would be in the fore front demanding and get ting the truth. Anyhow, if there is merit to any thing stated in this article, it would be great to see the cita tions. Have a nice day.

    • It hasn’t been set tled at all. Care fully read the article about Jon Klein (CNN) from two days ago. He stated ear lier that the hos pital in HI destroyed the orig inal birth cer tifi cate in 2001 when they went dig ital. This is non-proof. We should take the word of a hos pital admin is trator? And, if they went dig ital, where is the scan of the orig inal doc u ment? Did they lose that too? Lastly, how could we pos sibly believe that Obama (he’s a lawyer, right?) would not have a copy of his own birth cer tifi cate? I have a copy of my own cer tifi cate, as does my family and friends. Lastly, the sup posed cer tifi cate that Obama sup porters want to claim is NOT a “cer tifi cate of live birth”. There is a dif fer ence. Here is the LA Times article.
