While there are a number of conservatives
jumping ship on the presidential qualification issue, there are
still many on board.
For me, personally, I don't care
if it does turn out that Obama was born in Hawaii. His father
was not born here, hence he is not a "natural" born citizen. Please
note, that a contract is a meeting of the minds; so it is that
which it meant to our founding fathers, at the time of the signing
of that contract, the constitution, which
matters. Also, we the people cannot, should
not ignore the fact that Obama went to school in
Indonesia, a country that did not allow duo citizenship and yet
required citizenship for children to school there at the time that
Obama did just that.
There is a reason that our founding
fathers had certain requirements laid out in the constitution for a
person to have to meet in order to become the president of the
United States. And this is just that reason, that we need someone
loyal to our country, not to another country, or in Obama's
case, the rest of the world, with the one exception of
Israel.
Is the next president going to be the son of an
illegal immigrant, but hey, as long as he was born here? Perhaps it
is time that we do clarify things. It is time that each state
takes on the responsibility to their citizens, to make sure that
anyone on a presidential ballot, qualifies.
This is not just
an Obama issue. This is just as much a Romney issue. Romney's father
was born in Mexico, and not for any reason that would have still
made him an American citizen. It was because Romney's grandfather
was a polygamist, who moved there and set up residency there. Hence
Romney's father was not born in America either. Hence, Romney does
not qualify to be president, either. I believe that this is the
reason why so many conservatives are jumping ship on the
qualification situation of Obama and on a whole.
Here is the
bottom line. We have a right to expect our states to only allow
qualified people to run on our ballots for president. And we have a
right to request the information, via the FOIA - Freedom of
Information Act. All of this secrecy over Obama's actual birth
certificate has proven, at the very least, one thing; we the people
have a right to see proof. We also have a right to expect our laws
to prevent, just anyone from coming into our nation, giving
birth, and having that child grow up and become Commander and
Chief!
There is a lot of division happening within
conservatives over the qualification issue. As I said, I believe a
lot of the division stems from the Romney issue and the trickling
down, there of. However, there are also people who are scared to be
called a "birther" or to be looked at as "crazy." And THIS
is how the liberals keep getting away with things. The liberals
know what buttons to push to get some conservatives to play to
the liberal's tune. It is just so shocking to think that some
conservatives allow liberals (which includes Rhinos) to have so
much control over them.
For the record, we surely can handle fighting
this issue, along with the many other issues. If someone does not
want to be on board with this, fine, but such a person should not go
after those of us who stay on it. And I would like someone to tell
me, just how continuing to battle this issue is going to hurt true
conservatives in the up coming elections. Some people need to step
back and see that they are being played.
