Insane. The paranoia combined with the delusions is making for one of the stranger threads I've been active in.
I don't believe in Santa Claus.
Or the Easter Bunny.
I believe Obama was born in Hawaii. <--- Apparently, that's a Really Bad Thing.
Weirdos, the lot of 'em. I do appreciate them all congregating in one place though. I don't think my 'ignore' list has ever been so long.
I don't say that I believe that the birth certificate Obama released is a forgery. I do, however, believe that there is enough reasonable doubt to at least keep an open mind to the possibility that Obama is being less than forthright.
1) It took more than two years before Obama completed the simple act of acquiring and revealing his long form birth certificate. And then only when he felt the pressure of Trump's accusations and a forthcoming book by Jerome Corsi.
2) He has a Connecticut social security number. No one can account for how or why a Hawaiian citizen has been working under a CT SSN. The social security administration refuses to divulge any information under the FOIA to prove Obama obtained it legitimately. How might this be connected to the birth certificate issue?
3) Still to this day no one has seen the original birth certificate. In all legal matters interested parties want the originals, not copies, and for very good reason. Documents can be tampered with, information added, deleted, or distorted. In any court proceeding, except under very limited circumstances, the only allowable documentary evidence is the original document. Obama certainly understands this. The Hawaii DOH understands this. Simply allow the American people to see the original and if it passes inspection, case closed.
I don't think this is the most urgent issue in the universe. Either way, Obama is going to lose in 2012 because of his policies. It would be nice though to put the issue to rest.
I think what concerns me more than anything is Americans like you who are not concerned with truth and integrity. This shows how far the country has fallen. There was a time in America when the press, the American people, and even public officials considered matters of integrity to be of the highest importance. Today, a President can stand up in front of cameras and recite one lie after another and no one regards this as shocking because all people care about is who is on their side politically. We should always insist upon truth and forthrightness, especially from public officials, else was risk becoming a nation of corruption, in which case everybody loses.
