Not this shit again…

Is it weird I first read the organization as the Bigoted Law Commission.

Isn’t it amazing how differences of opinion and inconvenient facts form an act of treason for these nuts? I wonder if they sometimes fantasize about killing Sir Isaac Newton because gravity is just such a pain?

Crazy Crazy Birthers.

Not a problem, really, and a good opportunity to put these questions to rest. I guess I don’t see a problem with routinely qualifying candidates. the qualification questions are easy to answer, any discrepancies should be easily resolved. What is the issue here?

re: #4 Gepetto

The issue is that birthers are racist idiots. President Obama firmly settled the question of his citizenship years ago. He even released his long-form birth certificate, which didn’t offer any more detailed information than the one we’ve seen since 2008.

He doesn’t need to dignify this crap anymore, and trying to remove a sitting POTUS from the ballot over something that got settled ages ago is just fail.

Can you clarify 2 points?

1. What unclarified questions do you mean? Because the question of Obama’s eligibility was decided in 2008, after he released his birth certificate.

2. What exactly do you mean by a good opportunity? A trial? Or something else?

Would not be surprised to learn that mental health professionals decide to categorize birtherism as yet another form of OCD.

re: #4 Gepetto

The “issue” of his nationality has been settle since he announced his candidacy for President. It’s only an issue to the xenophobes and racists who can’t get past the thought of a man of African decent, spent several years of his life overseas, and a darker skin color has been chosen by his own citizens to lead their country after 42 white different men have been elected prior.

President Barrack Hussein Obama was born on Honolulu, Hawaii on August 4, 1961. His birth mother was an American citizen. One or the other (as well as both) are enough to be eligible for the Presidency/Vice Presidency. President Obama is a natural-born American citizen.

Orly Taitz and her supporters are racists. There’s no other reason to be pursuing this nonsense this much with so much energy.

Well there seems to be a growing trend towards birthers to now say that Obama is not a natural born citizen even if (or though) he was born in this country because his father was not a US citizen. They cite four Supreme Court cases - all laughably because mass cherry picking took place - that they say definitive defines “natural born citizen” as someone born on US soil to two citizen parents.

I would love to play poker against bithers, because they just don’t know when to fold ‘em.

Nice handle, BTW. :)

Well, of course they’ll move the goalposts, that’s what happens when xenophobia and racism clouds the mind (look at the Shrieking Harpy for an example).

From what I understand, so long as one birth parent has US citizenship, any child born would automatically attain citizenship (but I am most likely wrong on that).

And yes, it is a nice handle, despite mangling the spelling hehehe. At least they can’t confuse us!

Millions of military brats in this country would disagree. So would anyone with a legal immigrant parent who still had their citizenship from another country.

Birthers are just a bunch of racist tools. What a bunch of malarkey.

If they’re citing his father not being a US citizen then they. Obama’s not the first president to have a parent who was not a citizen. And Lidane’s right. The birthers are nothng but bigots.

The issue here is people like you. People like you who think they are being reasonable…showing concern, just asking questions…blah,blah,blah

You sir, are the problem.

Indeed, among the USSC cases they’ve cited in support of the supposed “two citizen parent rule,” are Dred Scott…which essentially said that slaves (blacks) are property.

By the way, if you’re curious, or just a sort of birther geek like I am, The Obama Conspiracy is a fun website to visit. “Dr. Conspiracy” has done yeoman’s work in debunking just about all of the conspiracy theories involving Barack Obama, not just the birther ones, and he debunks just about all of them. Check it out.

I really don’t understand what the New Hampshire people are screaming about. His certificate was shown on the internet before the election, and then a more detailed one was released after trumps yowling. So you show it again to the new hampshire screamers if thats the proper procedure. if the secretary of state accepts the qualifications, its case closed. the SOS accepted it last time, why would anyone think history has changed? the rest of the stuff is just noise. Seems like he’s of age, and a citizen, and born here, so what is the issue?

2. What exactly do you mean by a good opportunity? A trial? Or something else?

1. thats what I thought. is this new round of howling because history is different from then?
2. as far as i know, the basis for qualification has not changed for anyone. But, if the requalification is routine for incumbents as well as “new” candidates, then just do it. I assume Bush had to requalify for his second run. I assume everyone has had to requalify for a second run. if they did not have to requalify, then it is ridiculous that Obama would have to. I wonder if every race is considered “new” and everyone has to re-do their paperwork?

re: #17 Gepetto

The requalification is not routine.

Are you just massively ignorant on a wide range of subjects? Is that the deal?

of course i am massively ignorant on a wide range of subjects, that describes the general human condition. what a ridiculous question.

however, a quick trip around most SOS websites seems to contradict your massively informed opinion. Looks like the requirements for the nomination and certification to appear on a ballot are the same for incumbents and new candidates, and it is routine. So whats the fuss? I still don’t understand what the screaming in New Hampshire is about. If he was certified last time, he will be certified this time.

re: #19 Gepetto

The fuss is simple. These racist idiots are protesting Obama even being the President at all, and they’re trying anything they can to get him out of office.

The question of his qualifications was settled years ago. At this point, only a fucking moron or a racist douche believes he is ineligible for the office, given the number of background checks and security clearances a President has to have. These birther morons just can’t admit the truth. Barack Obama is a citizen, and as the incumbent, he is qualified to run for office again.

yes yes, i got all of that. I read the OP and cannot discern from it the specifics of the “new” complaints . I’ve heard of this crew, I thought their arguments have been tossed every time. so my question stands. what “new” arguments are they making that have NH politicians hollering? he was certified before, no hollering. served a term by the next election. he’ll be certified again. what has changed in this and why holler now?

and you understand that accusing an “idiot” (who has admitted to being “massively ignorant”) of “playing dumb” belies a certain amount of intellectual instability,right? pick an insult and stick with it.

re: #23 Gepetto

What is ‘intellectual instability’?
