A SUPERB ARTICLE...A MUST READ!...

Agnostic's Dreaded Verdict: Birthers Are (Mainly) Right

First Of Two Parts
I will give you the unpleasant punch line upfront: There is sufficient evidence to reasonably conclude that Barack Obama is probably not a U.S. citizen, therefore constitutionally ineligible to be president of the United States.

The fact that he has been serving in that office would then be not only the most audacious hoax in world history — at least since the Trojan Horse. It also creates a constitutional crisis of the first magnitude that will take decades to straighten out.

We will now approach this one step at a time to break the news to you gradually.
First, what makes anyone think that Obama is really a citizen of the U.S., natural born or otherwise? What hard evidence is there to rely on?

The evidentiary test for citizenship is a ridiculously low hurdle, and Obama has not been able to surmount it — except to the satisfaction of 50 careless state secretaries of state who certified eligibility to run in the 2008 presidential election, even though the Obama campaign organization did not produce an original birth certificate or any other evidence of citizenship. Typical quality for government work!

Real U.S. citizens are required to demonstrate hard proof of that type all the time for countless purposes, from obtaining a passport to playing Little League baseball, and Obama still cannot find his birth certificate. And now, in a remarkable coincidence, neither can the state government of Hawaii! More on that later.
Show The Evidence
Again, why should we believe that Obama is a U.S. citizen? Actually, some evidence exists that he is, but that evidence is very meager and must be weighed against the evidence to the contrary.
Some are persuaded by the birth notices in the Honolulu newspapers a few days after Obama's purported 1961 nativity, which claimed he was born locally. Now, what do you think would happen if you tried to use that quality of evidence in a court of law (or an Intro Logic class)?

I mean a real court with something other than a liberal Democrat-appointed partisan judge. To begin with, it would be conspicuous that the superior evidence, a birth certificate, is strangely absent. A scientific reaction would parallel that of a jurist, to wit: The primary source takes precedence.

Don't bother us with a secondary source like the ancient news clippings of unknown validity. Where is the primary source, the birth certificate? Why is that being suppressed? The newspaper items prove nothing other than arousing more suspicion. Where in those yellowed relics is there even a shred of proof that Obama was born in the USA?
