For the purposes stated here, the bases are US soil when occupied by the US government.

Like AF1 is and then it isn't all based on the personel aboard.

The only way to get main stream media to cover Obama like they would cover any red-blooded American is to call them out by name - INDIVIDUALLY.

To criticize the bias of “the media” is lame at best. But name names. Like citing Brian Williams by name, for example. This would certianly draw their attention because then everyone has a “target.” (Forgive the word target - it is meant only as a metaphor).

When anyone notices criticism of left-wing media bias and individuals’ names are mentioned with specific instances of commission or omission, get it noted on FreeRepublic

It doesn't matter if someone is born off the base when parents are out of country for military (government) reasons - they are still "natural born" citizens. My daughter was born in a hospital in Brindisi, Italy. We have papers signed by Cap Weinberger that she is an American citizen.

You're right that it doesn't matter, since both are legally part of the host nation of the base. Being born "beyond the seas" to American citizen parents, in the Constitutional language of 1795, means being born a citizen. It does not mean being a natural born citizen. There is a difference between the two. The fact that the host nation can and often does claim those born in their territory as their own citizens as well is the problem, and why a natural born citizen has to be born here of citizen parents.

Would you want a citizen of Italy to have been President of the United States during World War II, when we were at war with fascist Italy under Mussolini? It's a problem. That's why it's precluded.

Read the legal precedents, RGSpinach. You are mistaken.

The U.S. Main Stream Media folks who sat on their hands for months remaining silent,is now, due to this public pressure attempting to “Save face”, to save their hides from being named as accomplices to Obama’s fraud and treason, trying to now proffer some semblance of a reasonable explanation why they did not speak out on this major issue until now.

Do not let these people get away with this. They cannot be allowed to "save face", they ARE accomplices!!

I get what you mean. Of course, the citizenship of the parents is the determining factor. Bases are considered US soil by the troops and civilian American citizens when stationed there. Maybe not a legal definition but heartfelt none the less.

And you are not cute in your "typo". Kinda childish.

No, haven’t seen it ... barely heard of it.

At first you think it's a cheap comedy, but after you get past all the fart/masturbation jokes, you realize it's a "future documentary".

As silly as it seems initially, it's brilliant and will serve as a warning for years to come (and will still be ignored.)

I thought my next grandchild was going to be born in Germany, on base. But since my son is in Afghanistan, for at least another nine months, His wife decided to go home to Columbus, GA to serve out her last trimester. Don’t think that will result in citizenship problems.

This writer starts out by making sense, and then degenerates into falsehoods.

I firmly believe that Allen West is THE ONLY MAN who can save America.
God have mercy on us if he doesn’t run and win, we cannot wait until 2016.

From the piece:

Obama and McCain are equally disqualified.

If you are paying for this claptrap with your good brain cells, I would demand your neurons back.

Let me get this straight.

You really, really believe that John McCain, the son and grandson of Naval war heroes, born in 1936 in the Canal Zone while his parents were serving on a US military installation, is in the same class as Obama? You believe, like this wack job author (or perhaps you are the same person) - that McCain didn't pass muster for meeting the 1787 Constitutional citizen requirement in the same league as Obama?

Really?

OK - big shot. Your turn.

Explain this. Don't ask me to do your homework for you again here on this board. Outline this for me. Be sure to include what we know (or don't know) about Obama the Kenyan, and then compare and contrast that to McCain.

I'll check back soon. Thanks.

McCain was born outside the Panama Canal Zone,in Colon,Panama. Military bases in foreign countries are NOT considered U.S. Soil.
