If all the time and effort spent trying to prove Obama was not born in the United States only leads to a neo-con like Mitt Romney or Newt Gingrich taking his place in 2012, what good will it have done?
While everyone is obsessively distracted by the figurehead, the machine behind Obama continues to steamroll onwards. Only by expending all our energies on supporting someone who actually stands in opposition to this machine, namely Congressman Ron Paul, can we ever hope to rescue America.
Obama is nothing more than a teleprompter reading sock puppet tea boy for the likes of General Electric, Wall Street and the global elite. His entire shady history clearly indicates that he is nothing more than a figurehead who takes orders from those who shaped his rise to prominence in the first place, from being the son of a Kenyan goat herder living in a tin-roofed shack to reaching the supposed pinnacle of political power.
Americans continue to be obsessed with birther-fever as the de-industrialization of the country accelerates and the United States military is used as the muscle for globalist wars which only serve to bankrupt the nation and leave future generations responsible for paying the economic and geopolitical consequences.
While the birther issue cannot be proven either way, the fact that Obama has completely deserted every tenet of his pre-election platform, deepening U.S. military involvement overseas as another war rages in Libya, racking up record levels of debt as the economy stagnates and dollar collapses, doing nothing to reverse America’s decline into a predatory, TSA-run grope down police state, all these things can conclusively be proven.
If Trump ends up running as a third party candidate, either on a Libertarian or “Tea Party” ticket, he could siphon away enough votes from a Republican to help Obama secure a second term in the White House. Otherwise, he could just be denigrated as a birther buffoon by the establishment media and used as a weapon through which to discredit Republicans in general, including Congressman Ron Paul, who as has been documented, is the GOP candidate that stands the best chance of defeating Obama.
As CBS News reports, “Billionaire Donald J. Trump, an early presidential favorite among tea party activists, has a highly unusual history of political contributions for a prospective Republican candidate: He has given most of his money to the other side.”
Is the Obama administration deliberately fanning the flames of the controversy so that Donald Trump – who has come to represent the birther movement and is coincidentally a massive donor to the Democratic Party – can be used as a spoiler to ensure an Obama victory in 2012?
Is Obama playing the role of Brer Rabbit, begging not to be thrown into the briar patch of birtherism, while all the while knowing that’s precisely what he wants to happen?
Although the fact that they’re likely to field a raft of candidates to choose from who are almost as loathed as Obama himself won’t help, Republicans know they can defeat the president merely on his record alone.
Is it possible therefore that the Obama administration has chosen to make the birther issue the key election battleground because it’s a fight they know they can win?
The fact is that Obama already has been President for the past 2 and a half years and it’s his record during that time which we should be focusing on as the election nears.
Obama’s popularity has been steadily plunging ever since he took office, and the 2012 election is the Republican’s to lose.
While we’re busy debating which parts of the birth certificate have been altered, whether Kenya was actually called Kenya in 1963, or whether Obama’s father being Kenyan proves Obama’s not a natural born citizen and therefore ineligible to be President, the dollar continues to crumble, the national debt grows, the jobs are shipped overseas, and the wars continue to rage.
Whether or not the birth certificate is a forgery is ultimately beside the point, because whatever the truth, Americans will eagerly jump headlong into another left-right punch-and-judy sideshow that will be enflamed by talking heads from both sides of the phony political paradigm while their attention is taken away from issues of national and global significance.
If Obama’s decision to release what purports to be his long form birth certificate was designed to kill the “birther movement,” it’s likely to have the opposite effect. This is already starting to look like a massive shot in the arm for a topic that has gone from the fringes of political discourse to the center of national attention.
The White House’s decision to wade into the contentious echo chamber of the so-called “birther” issue just months before the campaign trail for 2012 begins, by releasing a dubious document that has only intensified the firestorm of interest surrounding the issue, is either political suicide or part of a well thought out ploy aimed at securing Obama a second term in the Oval Office.
Ron Paul is a genius
@TheDestroyerCrom It depends on who’s economy of which one is speaking.
War is definitely good for the elites…money-wise and power-wise.
@TheDestroyerCrom it is thats why we are really fucked war is great for the econmy the helicopters tanks guns all these supplies are made in the us and the people who make these things get paid well and spend the money they make like 100000 a year to be on a assembly line. Why do you think Vietnam went on for so long because of all the people working making these thing supported the war. I know people who work for Sucorsky they are in a Liberal union and vote Republican so they still have jobs
Every once in a while, some… let’s say misguided, individual says that wars are good for the economy. They should watch this video from 0:40-0:55.
ron paul for president! 2012
@MissSovietBones
And you’ve just insulted me because I insulted others.
Perhaps you should stop your hypocrisy first before giving lecturing people on beliefs you don’t even follow yourself.
@dirtnbike I love the irony of this statement. Do you seriously base your beliefs on stereotypes made out of envy and bitterness? And the fact that you even used such unsophisticated words proves you’re not nearly as clever as you think you are; you’re no better than anyone else. There are people of all different forms of intelligence in every country; it’s as simple as that.
@Intranetusa And you’re deluded. You’re no better than uninformed people because you insult instead of educate. You’re just a part of the problem if not more. As for myself, I’ll be busy handing out pamphlets and talking with my peers because I don’t think I’m better than people just because I know something they don’t.

If this country were a business it would have been bankrupt long ago. We need to elect some very business savy people to run this country. We need to take a long hard look at defense spending and govenment sponsored programs. I feel that is what Ron Paul is all about, making the hard financial choices for the good of the country.
