quote:“This is not a birther issue, not a consideration of where Mr. Obama was born,” Rappaport said. “Our concern is only if he is a natural born citizen.”
*Facepalm.*
I wonder if any of them realize that the law is pretty ambiguous on whether or not, say, John McCain, is a "natural born citizen."
Seriously. I'm not even close to a fan of Obama, but the ship is sailed. It sailed on election day. He won, and clinging to ridiculous conspiracy theories as some magic bullet that will remove him from office (uh oh, I used a gun metaphor, nobody tell the media[oh wait it's 2012 now I don't think anyone is pretending to care about that anymore anyway]) is just pathetic.

Is this the slow-motion retrospective on our beloved and missed Ron Lambert, voice of the silent majority?
Play the music, reginald, I give you Lambert on Free Speech in America:
quote:Mucus, I would consider that all the negative, treasonous things Jeremiah Wright said about America were indeed sins in the sight of God. Here is the Bible definition of sin: "Sin is the transgression of the Law." (1 John 3:4) He took God's name in vain--and daring to do it in the pulpit--when he said "God d--n America", violating the third commandment (Ex. 20:7), he spoke lies about America and Americans, thus also violating the ninth commandment: "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor." (Ex. 20:16)
He also spoke evil and utterly false things against dignitaries, which the Apostle Peter warned against in 2 Peter 2:10.
Anyone who speaks as Jeremiah did, and anyone who agrees with and would defend him, deserve to be stripped of their U.S. citizen and sentenced to permanent exile. They are not worthy of enjoying any of the privileges of being an American. By denouncing America, they have renounced the rights of Americans, because they show they do not appreciate them or deserve them.

You greatly desire lurkerdom but when a thread goes full inane you are rustled as readily as if someone stood in front of the tv and danced badly.

I'm dreading/looking forward to what I think is likely: Ron's return to regular posting as November nears, especially should a seriously conservative candidate end up on the ticket. I wonder if the gutless fanatic will have abandoned the birther element entirely, or merely have switched to natural-borner?

This is a serious issue. I mean, what if someone was born by C-section -- how could we call that "natural born"? What if a presidential candidate was conceived in-vitro? What if the candidate was conceived in-vitro using anonymous egg and sperm donors?
I mean what if Prince William conspired with the Bush family to have Jenna act as surrogate mother for his and Kates baby in order to make the proper heir to British Monarchy eligible for the US Presidency. This is serious stuff people.

Perhaps the doctor is just leaving his breathing tube in so that he doesn't ask painful questions.
(if ron is having actual medical difficulties that make this statement unfunny, nuke from orbit)
