Wait wait wait. Are you saying that Barack Obama is really Gilligan? Or Amelia Earhart?
I suspect in private many do.
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?”
Only in your dreams and hopes. Reality doesn’t work that way.
My hopes and dreams involve the Swedish Women’s Volleyball Team.
Reality doesn’t work that way either. 
Hate to burst your bubbles Obots, but the Birthers were right all along!
The American People WAKE UP after the Library of Congress proves Obama NOT to be a US Citizen:
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
HOLY SHIT WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT THING AT 2:45??!?!
My eyes… my poor eyes…
ETA:
DID THE HORROR JUST WINK AT 3:29?!
AHHHHHHHH!
Why do all the best fruit-cake videos get posted when I don’t have access to YouTube. It’s just not fair, I tell you.
When did GLaDOS become a Birther?
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!
Don’t worry, if you saw it, you would see how embarrassing you look now!
NUTTIN BUT FACTS MY FRIEND, that proves the Birthers were RIGHT, all along!
Maybe you can watch it over here on LiveLeak?:
Maybe you can just smear some feces on the wall and I can interpret that instead.
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).
I can NOW see your POINT and my MIND WAS CHANGED! Surprisingly, all IT TOOK was the RIGHT capiTALIzation!
The cake is a lie.
Meh. Not enough passive-aggressive manipulation.
Barbie on acid.
FECES, that’s how you describe our Framers? SAAAAAAAD!
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
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.”

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