Untruths by Felts

Doesn’t anybody red pencil Tommy Felts? He seems to operate on the theory that the more you repeat a lie, the more people will believe it.

President Obama was born in the United States. Hawaii has been a part of America since Aug. 14, 1898. Obama was born after Hawaii became a state. He is an American. All five of my children were born in Honolulu and no one questions their citizenship.

As to whether he is a Muslim ... who cares? He says he is a practicing Christian. He acts like one. And if he isn’t, so what? The last time I checked, Islam was rooted in the same Judeo-Christian traditions so highly valued by most of our citizens, and the Constitution does not limit citizenship to Christians.

We have had presidents who were not outwardly religious and some who were, but we do not have a national religion.

Please back off, Felts. No more untruths in your rants.

[Editor’s note: Tommy Felts’ Oct. 29 column, “Mr. President, you scare me,” did not state that Felts believes Obama was born outside the United States, nor did it state that he believes the president is Muslim.]
