Why must it come Down to Popular V. Patriotic: The Obama Eligibility Question?

It's America all over again. A few people decided to meet in a small room in Philadelphia to say they had enough British tyranny. A few people risked everything to turn Boston Harbor into a giant pot of tea. A few people have checked the constitution and have found a hitch in the outcome of the 2008 election.
From those initial illicit gatherings and conferences came the birth of a nation.
A few people are willing to knock on the door of both state and Supreme Court justices to settle the question of Barack Obamas disputable eligibility to be the 44 th President of the United States. How is that going?
Undaunted by the Supreme Courts decision not to hear arguments in the Donofrio v. Wells case a volley of additional cases have been submitted to various courts across the nation that are challenging Obamas eligibility. The Cort Wrotnowski v. Susan Bysiewicz case is taking up the lead.
A conference on whether the Wrotnowski case will be heard is scheduled in the Supreme Court for Friday December 12, 2008. Lawyers in that case have had more time to prepare. The arguments similar to those in the Berg case and the wording have improved significantly.
More than a dozen other cases dealing with Barack Obamas eligibility are under scrutiny in various courts around the nation and the interest in these cases is growing.
What is most disconcerting is the willingness of the main stream media to ignore the issue or wait until it busts wide open to give it any coverage. Words like fringe are popping up to describe anyone connected to the accountability movement that wants the Constitution to be enforced.
At the moment it looks like one of Americas greatest examples of the double standard. We want our President Elect to stand with his hand on the Bible and swear to defend and uphold the Constitution of the United States but we are willing to call the average citizen who questions Barack Obamas compliance with the constitutions requirement that Presidents be natural born citizens the fringe
If those who are calling for the proof of constitutional requirements are indeed on the fringe they are in good company. They have the signers of the Declaration of Independence and those from the Boston Tea Party as compatriots and their cause is in every way just as important.
World Net Daily one of the internets most popular news and commentary sites has taken another approach which has begun to draw media attention. Beside the 60,000 letters already delivered to the Supreme Court, WND has submitted over 2,000 letters from their readers directly to members of the Electoral College. They are appealing to the better judgment of the electorates to consider that they may be creating a constitutional crisis like none in our entire history by casting their votes for a candidate that has not been properly vetted as required by law.
The WNDs front door approach may seem more like the ride of Paul Revere rather than the customary advance through the halls of justice but we all know that Revere was highly successful in preparing our young country to defend itself in its days as a fledgling nation.
The arguments seen in the press, the blogs and all over the internet are full of sound and fury but they are signifying something. If they were court cases they might read like Popular v. Patriot or Supremes v. the Supercilious. The least funny of all might be the President Elect v. U.S. Soldier this one is mine and I am happy to explain exactly what I mean.
The President Elect, the Supreme Court justices and the ordinary soldier share a commonality. They all must take an oath of allegiance to the United States in which they must swear to uphold and defend the constitution. This raises a very important, howbeit, often not asked question. Which of them has the most to gain or lose by swearing this noble oath? Lets see.
Barack Obama obviously has the most to gain in that after he takes the oath of office he will become the leader of the worlds most powerful western nation. If it were proven that he is ineligible to sit in the Oval Office because of questions about his citizenship then all he may lose is a little face.
The Supreme Court justices would gain only the respect of the nation for impartially deciding that the constitution is being upheld. They will lose almost nothing doing the job they have been appointed to do except a little private time and r & r but hey, thats why its called public service.
US servicemen have to gain only the love and respect they totally deserve for their sacrifice and service to their country.
By far our servicemen have the most to lose in their promise to uphold and defend the constitution. If they should tour in theater and return without incident they will have already lost time from their own private lives. Their families will lose precious time with their loved ones and their jobs, careers or callings will have been set on hold.
Yet the highest possible loss faces every serviceman or woman 24/7, 365 days a year. They may at any time be asked to sacrifice their lives for this nation and its constitution. Some may be in harms way and have already suffered this loss even as I write.
The question this raises must not go unanswered. Can we ask our young men and women to put their lives up to defend and uphold our constitution and not expect the Supreme Court justices to at least look at the Obama eligibility question? Can we at the very least ask our President Elect to provide certain proof that he is in compliance with our nations most important document as well?
The answer to this question should be an unequivocal and resounding yes. It should be the yes of every citizen in the continental United States and not one of them should ever be referred to as the fringe. While it may be an insult to call any man a fringe case, it would rise to the level of sacrilegious to include our servicemen and women in that group.
Since they may at any time be called upon to pay the ultimate price to uphold the constitution perhaps we should be asking their opinions about the matter as quickly as we can!

Top-level comments on this article: (2 total)Rev Bresciani with all respect on a really good article of point I do not feel this is the audience that will even read or consider such. Now that statement is not a stance for or against what you have written or if I agree or not. The simple fact is the state of this nation. While many profess not many are willing to commit and in my opinion a profession is worthless without works. Frankly many are confused. Was he born in the United states or born elsewhere? Was he taken to Hawaii and then became a citizen? Documnets are meaningless if and that if is significant they were not legal and I believe that is the gist of it all? Was his mom under age to do such? What about his paternal grandparents, does that have an impact? The fact his mom was a citizen, what does that say? So until this is resolved many just do not know and hence the court case. In fact if found that he has no grounds to be president the uproar from the black community and ultra left will be tremendous. In my opinion truth does not apply in this society any longer even for many who profess. It is my theory of selection application. In shoprt "it works for me".
Robert you make some stong points. I can't argue much about how folks are willing to fly in so many weird directions and ignore the truth. These things were prophesied and are now happening as we approach the rise of the Anichrist and the False Prophet.The latest case "Wrotnoeski V..." is based on the fact that his dad was not an American citizen which Obama has admitted on his own website. This case doesn't require a birth certificate. If produced it will be at the least a bonus in the case, at the worst it will be the shocker that will suddenly get the attention of everyone here and abroad.We'll see.God bless Robert and a Merry Christmas to you and your family.Rev Michael Bresciani
