From Peter Wallston’s piece on the conservative fringe, which contains a lot of stuff that should be familiar to TWI readers, here is the reason Lisa De Pasquale, the director of the Conservative Political Action Conference, declined requests from WorldNetDaily to schedule a panel on President Obama’s birth certificate.
It would fill a room. But so would a two-headed monkey.
That said, I would be stunned if some enterprising “birther” like Orly Taitz does not come to Washington for CPAC 2010 and schedule her/his own event with easy access to Omni Shoreham guests. Fringe events often occur on the outskirts of CPAC, like a meeting with Geert Wilders, the anti-Muslim Dutch politician, that was held in a mid-sized room of the hotel in 2009.

I don’t find it a particularly edifying topic either, unlike Wilders efforts against European Islamism, or the analysis of “Administrators”
like Van Jones, But Indy Media is not one to call someone else fringe, right

Hey David,
There's actually a REAL story here if you'd take your head out of the progressive lefts a_ _.
BHO is and was a Dual National as he himself acknowledged in “Dreams of My Father”.
Couple that with Article II Section I Paragraph V of that document you so hate and you'll find it.
Independent? I think not.
BTW, just who is feeding you your talking points? DNC?

“110TH CONGRESS-Recognizing that John Sidney McCain, III, is a natural born citizen.-IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES-
Mrs. MCCASKILL(D)(for herself and Mr.LEAHY{D}),–Mr.OBAMA(D)–,Mr.COBURN(R),Mrs.CLINTON(D),and Mr.WEBB(D)”..(Summary of findings of Senate Judiciary Committee by Senator Leahy,(D)Vermont)-Quotes from hearings:“Because he was born to American citizens, there is no doubt in my mind that Senator McCain is a natural born citizen,”said Leahy.“I expect that this will be a unanimous resolution of the Senate.”Michael Chertoff said “My assumption and my understanding is that if you are born of American parents, you are naturally a natural-born American citizen”..The Senate Judiciary Committee UNANIMOUSLY AGREED BOTH PARENTS MUST BE U.S.CITIZENS WHEN THEIR CHILD IS BORN FOR IT TO BE A “natural born Citizen” UNDER LAW,thus Obama,by his OWN definition,is NOT Constitutionally qualified-his father was NOT a U.S.Citizen. Obama knows full well he is NOT a “natural Born Citizen”.

The two headed monkey was born in Har Megiddo. The issue of a jackal and a serpent.

That's actually NOT the text of the resolution passed, in which, it did NOT define a natural born citizen, but rather made it clear that children born on military bases outside of the US are still considered natural born.

Hey ernest – that business about both parents by necessity being US citizens, only applies to CITIZENS WHO WERE BORN OUTSIDE THE US, on military bases or in embassies – like McCain!
But explaining anything to birther wackjobs is like trying to talk to UFO cultists – in the face of any and all evidence to the contrary, they'll keep right on clinging to their fairy tales. Birthers would be cute and funny if so many of them weren't downright dangerous.

Explain this!
Looks like Keyes v. Obama Jan.26th 2010 might be our last best hope. But I know I will give this up only when the truth comes out or they pry my cold dead fingers from the keyboard.
Update: October 9, 2009 This simple question is followed by the text of Article II of the U.S. Constitution. Call it an open book exam . . . please comment with your answers.
Is the son of a British subject born on U.S. soil eligible under the Article II natural born eligibility clause to be President of the United States?
“No Person except a natural born Citizen or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty-five years, and been fourteen years a resident within the United States.” U.S. Const. Art. II, Sec. 1, Cl 4
Update: July 30, 2009 Recent publishing of the Certificate of Live Birth of twins born the day after Barack Obama show Obama’s COLB number indicating a later birth, a higher number. This only supports, circumstantially, my conclusion that Obama’s COLB was from a 338-5 compulsory registration. Obama’s birthdate was earlier, but not produced by a licensed birthing facility. The mother, Stanley Ann Dunham visited the local agent for the health department at a later date to register the birth without a birth certificate.
Secondly, the jurisprudence of challenging ‘prima facie’ evidence is the key reason for demanding Obama’s original 1961 birth registration information. The Hawaii department of vital records either has a birth certificate from a licensed birthing facility, or merely a compulsory record of data from undocumented and unconfirmed sources. (See H.R.S. § 338-5)
