Resolved: Barack Obama is Not an Article II, Natural Born Citizen

Or at least maybe it will be resolved soon. Tomorrow a Georgia court will hear the challenge to Barack Obama’s eligibility to appear on the ballot because he is not an Article II “natural born citizen.” Even though he was ordered to appear, don’t expect the One to show up. He’ll send one of his mouthpieces. I hope that they don’t plan to show up with some creative Photoshop stuff. Remember what happened to Bill Clinton. It’s not the crime. It’s the coverup. Not that any of that sort of thing would matter. If his father was actually Barack Obama Sr., he can’t qualify.

  • As I have been saying for over a year, Barack Obama is not an Article II natural born citizen, even though pompous Lame Stream Media gasbags, along with most Americans, don’t know seem to know the difference between an Article II “natural born citizen,”  a “native born citizen,” or an anchor baby. Way to go, leftists! Your mission to dumb down the population has been a success!
  • Just in time for the hearing, it turns out that even Obama’s INS recognizes the difference between a naturalized citizen, a native born citizen and a natural born citizen.
  • Did anyone notice this creative editing of the State Department’s Foreign Affairs manual by the Obama administration in August 2009? Very interesting.

This situation brings the Founders’ wisdom into stunning clarity. Barack Obama, who has made no secret of his contempt for the Constitution as a doctrine of “negative rights,” as in an obstacle to his plans to “remake” our country by redistributing wealth in the interest of “fairness,” is the poster child for the danger of ignoring their wisdom.

More Evidence that the Left’s Decades-Long Project “Dumb Down America” is Working

From the Boston Globe, reporting on a new Gallup poll:

Americans overwhelmingly say they want to do away with the Electoral College and instead elect the president through a tally of votes nationwide, according to a Gallup poll released today.

Is it any wonder that a person who is not an Article II “natural born citizen” was allowed to occupy the Oval Office?

The article quotes Gallup spokesperson Lydia Saad as saying “Americans show relatively little attachment to this unique invention of the country’s Founding Fathers.”

Gee, why would that happen? Could it be because for at least the last 40 years, the Left has made sure that the only thing that Americans learn about the U.S. Constitution is the Big Lies; that is, that it was written by a passel of racist, slave-holding, misogynistic white European bigots who stole this country from noble Native Americans and then slaughtered them with smallpox. As a result, even supposedly educated people don’t know the Constitutional difference between a natural born citizen and a citizen. In my experience, you may as well expect most Americans to understand and explain the Special Theory of Relativity as to appreciate the difference between a case decided based on Article II versus one based on the Fourteenth Amendment. Good luck with that. Perhaps that’s a little inside baseball. Let me put my inner lawyer back in her cage, and suggest that understanding the value of the Electoral College should be something every American child learns in middle school. Perhaps “educators” could squeeze that in sometime between bestiality and oral sex.
