Obama's Eligibility: What We're Fighting For

There are presumptions here, but that's the nature of political predictions.

As we work in every way to inform our fellow citizens of something that now is unquestionably an undisputed fact - that Obama presented a fake birth certificate to quell the growing demands for the true document - so as to put the pressure necessary on all facets of society to resolve the issue, it helps to take a step back, clear one's head of the endless details and keep it simple so as to stay focused. One of the first things we can do is - keeping it simple - remember just that for which we're fighting a timid and complicit media and congress.

 THE CONSTITUTION

It often seems like an idealistic notion to fight for something tangible and yet as a recognizable aspect of our daily lives, a seeming abstract - that historical thing enveloped in patriotic feelings that set where we are into motion, God bless it. But do know that the constitution lives and functions as a fundamental rudder for our society in a million ways, times and places every single day. It gives you the right, for example, to speak our mind on the internet. Try setting up a political blog critical of the government in China, for example, and see how long you remain free.  

Ignore those important words, "Natural Born Citizen", re-define it according to political convenience on the assumption that they can be re-defined again as needed, and you might as well throw the entire Constitution into the flames, because if that clause can be so easily modified, then so, too, can your freedoms - by the same people and for the same reason: political convenience.

If the press will not stand firm and protect the Constitution now, who can expect them to come to the aid of this country when more pressing and immediate concerns loom over this country? Who, in turn, will protect them when their turn to be stifled and brought down comes to pass?

You are the new media. You are establishing your superiority to them every day you tell just one person of a fact you know to be true that they refuse to report. The media has abandoned us. Rather than beg them for their help, it is time to return the favor. And we can.

ROLL BACK OBAMA'S AGENDA

This idea is predicated, of course,  on the following stream of falling dominoes: Obama is found to be ineligible (and if so, probably a felon), resigns or is removed, congress takes up their Constitutional responsibilities and declares by legislative action all of what Obama signed to be null and void. That's not all that likely. But it isn't impossible. Not as impossible as it would have been before the 2010 elections when Tea Party congressmen took their places in Congress. The proof of this is the new budget deal; while imperfect to be sure, the Tea Party congressmen - who are needed by the establishment GOP - held out against the establishment GOP rollover and demanded action that brought us much closer to what most of us would have otherwise desired.

The Tea Party Congressmen are proving themselves. Should Obama be found to be ineligible, they may again. And that's gigantically important, because if Obama is found ineligible and removed by Congress, it is not impossible that we can see the following:

1. The recall - hook, line and sinker - of ObamaCare.

A massive bill in which are contained loopholes having nothing to do with health care, and when it does address health care, ruins the best system in the world. With public opinion still against it 2-1, it would be an easy thing to bring down. Congress is hoping to recall it legislatively, but that's a gamble. If we expose Obama by informing our fellow citizens of one of the few historical facts known about Obama for a fact - that his birth certificate that he offered is an amatuerish fake - then there is no gamble, in theory. Obamacare - all it it, without negotiation or compromise - simply vanishes as law. We're back to where we were as as though it never existed.

2. Supreme Court Appointments.

Elena Kagen and Sonia Sotomayor are the most liberal supreme court justices we have ever seen. Their legendary - and notorious - positions and decisions place them at the worst America has to offer when it comes to Constitutional jurisprudence. If Obama is not eligible, then they were never legally appointed regardless of the congressional hearings. Obama simply wasted everyone's time with the hearings and everything else because he had no authority to do so. Simple. They go away and new appointments are chosen by the acting or next duly-elected President. America has seen much worse turmoil and difficulty. We can get through that easily. The citizenry will probably be overjoyed, in fact, that the system worked.

3. Our Reputation as a Nation

Obama astounds the free world by bowing to a Saudi. Amateurish mistake or 

respect from one Muslim to another? You decide.

Countries all over the world - some US allies - run articles about our "illegal President from Kenya". Our reputation - as a ridiculous nation with an illegal President - hamstrings negotiations with foes and allies alike at every turn, leaving capitulation as our only recourse. If Obama leaves office, the US faces not disgrace - because the world already knows that Obama is not eligible - but redemption for our allies and renewed respect from those who would harm us.

IN CONCLUSION

Even with unprecedented press protection, Obama's numbers are in free-fall and essentially what George Bush's numbers were while the press relentlessly attacked and turned public opinion against Bush. Obama has achieved his poll numbers all by himself - one of the only honest accomplishments he has every achieved.

Obama's poll approval showing 44% approve / 52% disapprove, as of this writing, August 2, 2011
Strong approval/disapproval is even worse:  23% strongly approve / 41% strongly disapprove

So the next time you read or hear of someone calling for people to stamp bills, or make fliers, or shout down your congressman at a town hall about the Obama citizenship issue - before you shrug it off - remember the stakes. Nothing is ever a sure thing. But with stakes like these, look in the mirror and convince yourself that it isn't worth the fight.
