Wait wait wait. Are you saying that Barack Obama is really Gilligan? Or Amelia Earhart?

The country they think used to exist back in the good old days. “Our” country - a place where “they” weren’t around. It’s not just black people that disturb them. They don’t understand Jews or foreigners or gays or city people or hippies or feminists or teenagers - the world is a big scary place and they want it to go away.

I’m sorry, but _ **what?** _ What are you talking about? The Birthers are not all in their _[… calculating …]_ 70s or above, it would have to be. Jews, foreigners, city people and teenagers have been around for a long time - over three hundred years. As for hippies (?), gays, and feminists … okay, you probably don’t remember the sixties.

Civil rights, Woodstock, Stonewall, Our Bodies Ourselves, etc … that was all _ **over forty years ago** _. People have been born, grown up, had children, and possibly become grandparents in that time. And all that time, they had radio, movies, and television to bring the larger world to them. In fact, they’ve had internet for half that time. There are Birthers who have never know a time before the internet. The Birther ‘good old days’ are not some rose-colored vision of men in fedoras and women in kitchens.

So, no, I am not going to accept your vision of the Birthers as Grandpa and Grandma Walton on their rockers in the mountains, ready to open the hearts to everyone as soon as they get to know them.

I’m definitely not talking about whatever it is you’re talking about. I didn’t make any mention of old age or grandparents. A lot of these people are younger than me (and, for the record, I grew up in the sixties).

As I pointed out, the life they’re imagining is fiction - America was never really the way they think it was. A genuinely old person who lived back in those “good old days” would be more likely to realize that then somebody who’s basing their knowledge off of nostalgia.

So doesn’t it annoy you when people imply people our age should be given a pass on ignorance and prejudice, because things were so different?  
I’ve been seeing a lot of that recently, and I jumped all over you about it, I guess. I apologize for that.

Yeah, things we different - we were ashamed of our prejudices and worked to overcome them. Isn’t there some age limit on “s/he doesn’t know any better?”

Oh that’s just so sad that there are people out there who actually believe the twisted logic within. People who _drive_. People who operate heavy machinery. People who prepare food for others. People who

NO, the SAD thing is that you call the Constitutional Framers’ words TWISTED LOGIC. Tell me numbnuts, if you can’t take the words from the Framer’s themselves, who authored the 14th amendment and EXPLAINED it to you, CLEAR AS DAY, then who would you like us to believe instead?

YOU ARE A PATHETIC AMERICAN!

In what way is Obama ineligible for the Presidency under the 14th amendment?

(The 14th amendment (1868) was not, by the way, authored by the Framers (1787-1788).)

That isn’t too much different from what he did. Holy fuck, I want my 21 minutes back. Chester Fucking Arthur wasn’t a citizen? As far as I can tell, the only people born here who would be excluded from citizenship are children of diplomats and royalty and such, who aren’t subject to the jurisdiction of the US (which is I believe why they can’t get parking tickets).

The people who FRAMED the 14th amendment were the FRAMERS OF THE 14th AMENDMENT, NO?

Did you not watch the video, FRANK? Everything is explained in the video!

CLEARLY at 13:05 in the video: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9dbtOoX3exk](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9dbtOoX3exk)  
Senator Lyman Trumbull (The ONE who added in the Citizenship Clause amendment to the 14th amendment bill) explains the Citizenship Clause and what it meant:  
“The provision is, that ‘all persons born in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens.’ That means ‘subject to the complete jurisdiction thereof.’ What do we mean by ‘complete jurisdiction thereof?’ NOT OWING ALLEGIANCE TO ANYBODY ELSE. That is what it means.”

Here is the link to the ORIGINAL document:  
[http://memory.loc.gov/cgi-bin/ampage?collId=llcg&fileName=073/llcg073.db&recNum=14](http://memory.loc.gov/cgi-bin/ampage?collId=llcg&fileName=073/llcg073.db&recNum=14)

I would believe the person who WROTE the law over an Obot TRYING to interpret what he meant!
