re: #760 Gus 802

I never said you owed me anything. You didn’t have much to offer, anyway, as I’ve come to find out.

Trolling - I guess I thought that was something else. I’ve been a frequent visitor on this site for the last two years. I only registered tonight, because I saw an article that interested me and wanted to engage people on it. Is that trolling? If so - guilty!

Trolling right away… Is there a way to troll gradually? I wonder what that would look like…

“Birther” is a convenient Alinsky label. I’m just an average Joe that cares about our country, probably like you. Because I don’t agree with you politically, that earns me a derogatory label? What happened to debate in our country?

I do have questions about where Obama was born. It doesn’t help that his wife called Kenya his “home country” or that the Kenyan Parliament has, at least twice, cited Kenya as Obama’s birthplace.

But as I’ve tried to say in earlier posts, I believe the Constitution calls for a more stringent qualification than mere birthplace - one of parentage, too.

I just can’t help but to think of how the media would be all over Bush like white on rice if there was the slightest hint that he was born out of this country, or that one of his parents never became citizens here…
