Birthers Defend Obviously Fake Kenyan Obama Birth Certificate * 8/3/09 at 6:02 PM * Comment 8Comment 8Comments Over the weekend, the leaders of the Birther movement forged a Kenyan birth certificate that they claim proves that Barack Obama was not born in the United States, and therefore is not legally president. Even though this was rapidly debunked, even by supporters of the Birthers, leaders like Orly Taitz, the Zsa Zsa of the lunatic fringe of the right wing, have still taken to the airwaves to proclaim victory. Of course, they're getting an increasingly hostile reception. In this clip, watch as Taitz goes off against MSNBC hosts, calling them "offensive," linking their behavior to Hitler's paramilitary "brownshirts," and proclaiming that they "will not be on TV for too long." Watching this video, we realized that it's not just the famous Hungarian actress and socialite that Orly reminded us of. There's someone else close to our hearts to whom (at least vocally) she bears an uncanny resemblance. If only we could put our finger on it.

Does it matter? The guy is a sitting president.
Nobody takes an oath to the President. They take an oath to the Constitution. If a usurper is in the White House, the Military, the FBI, the Federal Marshals, and DHS are all bound by their oath to oust him. Assuming this pans out, you may see a civil war erupt within the FedGov. Now, assuming this pans out (which I doubt, but it makes for good theatre) then the Supremes will have to get involved. If Congress and the Supremes maintain that Obama is President even though he is not qualified, watch the streets carefully. It will be a riot.

For what it's worth... strategyandwar.com/united...y_oath_of_enlistment.html The wordings of the current oath of enlistment and oath for commissioned officers are as follows: "I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God." (Title 10, US Code; Act of 5 May 1960 replacing the wording first adopted in 1789, with amendment effective 5 October 1962). "I, _____ (SSAN), having been appointed an officer in the Army of the United States, as indicated above in the grade of _____ do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign or domestic, that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservations or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office upon which I am about to enter; So help me God." (DA Form 71, 1 August 1959, for officers.)
It's like the three laws of robotics.
The difference being that, so far at least, no robot exists with the capability of living up to any one of those three laws; whereas man has the capability to live up to all three. The only exception would be Law #2 if a case were to arise in which two humans gave the subject human opposite orders; in which case the subject human would have to choose which one to follow, thereby breaking that law regardless of his choice. And that, my friend is why the Framers of the Constitution added the criteria that one must be a natural born citizen to that document's requirements for the office of president. That is, no man can faithfully serve two masters. Ergo, no president can be allowed to be put in the position of having to choose between the USA and some other nation. If a man has dual allegiance split between the USA and any other country, there is no way to know which he would choose in a situation wherein if he choose the wrong course of action, great harm could come to this country and/or its citizens. Being a natural born citizen and the presumed allegiance that comes with that status adds a measure of protection for America that cannot be gained in any other manner. While it is not guaranteed, it has been used for centuries as a qualifier; and, for more than 200 years, it has worked satisfactorily for us; yet, it is a protection this country can never have as long as Obama is allowed to remain in office because he has dual allegiance due to the fact that his father was a citizen of Kenya, a foreigner who was never a US Citizen of any kind.
