Desperate Plea To Stop The Lies

A heartfelt and well written, if long, plea for an end to the lies being spread.
Lincoln's First Inaugural Address:
"If it were admitted that you who are dissatisfied hold the right side in the dispute, there is still no single good reason for precipitate action. "Intelligence, patriotism, Christianity, and a firm reliance on Him who has never yet forsaken this favored land are still competent to adjust in the best way, all our present difficulty. "In your hands, my dissatisfied fellow-countrymen, and not in mine, is the momentous issue… "The government will not assail you. "You can have no conflict without being you yourselves the aggressors. "We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. "The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart and hearthstone, all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature."

Crazy Birther Claim #2

Ok, so the birthers not only claim Obama was born in Kenya and not Hawaii, but they have an argument for even if he was born in the US.

His father, who did not live in the United States for more than a couple of years, was a subject/citizen of Kenya/Great Britain at the time of Barack’s birth and afterwards, AND further, as Barack himself admitted on his website during the 2008 campaign, Barack was therefore born SUBJECT TO THE GOVERNANCE OF GREAT BRITAIN.

The FACT that he was not born of TWO US CITIZEN PARENTS is all that matters. The question of his birth certificate is a distraction (a distraction fostered by Obama’s supporters?) that ought not to occupy our time and resources.

Except this is not so, and has already been debunked before.

Not only does it make no sense (if Britain changed the law so that anyone born in America was also a British Citizen, would no one be able to become President?  It's our laws that matter, not theirs.),  but Obama is not even the only/first President to only have 1 American parent.  There have been 7,  that's SEVEN, Presidents of the United States with 1 parent a US Citizen and the other a foreigner.

Thomas Jefferson
Andrew Jackson
James Buchanan
Chester A. Arthur
Woodrow Wilson
Herbert Hoover
Barack Obama

I'm sorry some people not only don't understand the law, but also can't do a little research.

Debunking the 'Birthers' So Called "Birth Certificate" From Kenya

So called Kenyan "Birth Certificate"

First, the hospital is Coast Provincial General Hospital (sometimes said to be Coast Province General Hospital), not Coast General Hospital.

Second, Kenya was a Dominion the date this certificate was allegedly issued and would not become a republic for 8 months.

Third, Mombasa belonged to Zanzibar when Obama was born, not Kenya.

Fourth, Obama's father's village would be nearer to Nairobi, not Mombasa.

Fifth, the number 47O44-- 47 is Obama's age when he became president, followed by the letter O (not a zero) followed by 44--he is the 44th president.

Sixth, EF Lavender is a laundry detergent.

Seventh, would a nation with a large number of Muslims actually say "Christian name" (as opposed to name) on the birth certificate?

Eighth, his father (born in 1961) would have been 24 or 25 when he was born and not 26.

Ninth, it was called the "Central Nyanza District," not Nyanza Province. The regions were changed to provinces in 1970.

This piece of paper certainly looks nice and new to be 45 years old -- unless the Kenyans were using acid-free paper back in 1964.

Finally, Officials of Coast Province General Hospital reported:  “We do not have computerized records going back to the 1960’s and can only sort through our archives by hand,” Dr. Christopher Mwanga, an administrator at the Mombasa hospital tells GLOBE. “We have searched for all the names of babies born on Aug. 4, 1961, and have not found the name of Barack Hussein Obama. That is all I can tell you.

All in all.... the Kenyan one is the fake.  Not the Hawaiian one.

More detailed debunking.
