On Friday, January 28, POLITICO asked its ARENA panel:
Hawaii lawmakers want to encourage so-called birthers to back off their requests for President Obama’s birth certificate by charging a $100 fee to anyone who asks for a copy.
The bill proposed by a group of Hawaii Dems would allow the state’s department of health to charge the fee when providing a copy of a birth certificate “of a person who is a candidate for, or elected to, a public office that requires the person to be a United States citizen.” (http://politi.co/gQAnBi) This move comes as an Arizona lawmaker is reviving the birther debate in that state by introducing a bill requiring any and all candidates to provide an original long-form birth certificate with details such as date/place of birth, name of the hospital, the attending physician and signatures of witnesses. (http://nydn.us/g3bWZX) Similar legislation did not get support last year.
Will the Hawaii legislature’s measures squelch the birthers once and for all, or will action such as that of Arizona continue to keep the debate alive? And why won’t the issue of whether President Obama was born in the U.S. go away?
My response: “The birthers are a fringe element of American society, similar to those who think the CIA killed President Kennedy and that Area 51 contains the remains of UFO aliens. Lawmakers, such as the Arizona legislator, only give their ravings the veneer of legitimacy. The birthers and their supporters won’t go away until they overcome their inherent racism that doesn’t allow them to accept a non-white President of the United States. For them and their ilk, race remains the number one problem of the 21st Century. The rest of America must sweep these people and their unAmerican beliefs onto the trash heap of history.”
…………Officials in Hawaii have tracked down papers indicating that President Obama was indeed born in their state according to its new governor..Gov. Anybody who wants to ask a question honestly could have had their answer already. ..However the conspiracy theories still thrive and according to Abercrombie likely will continue despite whatever evidence that shows him to be a proper U.S. For your assessment of this matter as it was among the more intelligent.We too have pondered the idea and realizing that if Barrack Obama wasnt an eligible candidate for his run he wouldnt likely have made it this far especially given what youve so eloquently stated With all of the vetting that had to be done Ironically your comment also exemplified the oppositions as publicly displaying blind ignorance in favor of racist rants that included their assumptions of Barrack Obama not being qualified for his presidency according to what they ve lead themselves to believe of his birthrights by his birth certificate.
