Yep, and unfortunately he chose UNC. Although I support Duke and Henson injured his wrist, so I’m good.
No problem :-)
“...am looking forward to hearing more about this eligibility thing.”
What would you like to know?
The truth! We don’t need another non-citizen president.
I would like to know how two FReepers can sink so low as to call into question the citizenship of an immigrant who served honorably in WWII and therefor earned his US citizenship the hard way.
Aldo Santorum was NOTHING like Obama's father. He wasn't Muslim. He didn't abandon his wife and child. He served his country and earned his citizenship.
Your birther attacks on Santorum are pathetic.
Uh, yeah, it did. As it still does today.
Are you really such a jackass that you want to pursue this line of attack on Santorum?
Do you want to call into question the citizenship of someone who received an honorable discharge for military service during WWII?
Because, quite frankly, you can kiss my ass if that is your position. And you are an utter disgrace to this website if that is your position.
Oh, that's rich. You think I'm gonna get zotted for defending military service for citizenship?
Methinks you should be the one watching for lighting, a-hole.
So you are demanding naturalization records for a man who served this country in WWII in the military.
Do you realize just how big an ass you are for demanding that from a man who went through the time-honored path for citizenship for immigrants in this country - military service?
Do you realize just how stupid you are? And how much of an insult to the conservative movement you are by such demands of an honorably-discharge WWII veteran?
Apparently not.
If you want to be an asshole, that is your business. But you can kiss my ass if you want to be such a flaming idiot.
“The Democrats and MSM want Romney, Santorum and Gingrich to keep talking about contraception, abortion and porn instead of the economy, gas prices, domestic energy or Obamacare. All three seem happy to oblige...”
Or so the media would have people conclude, from the manipulative way they handle information.
Of the three, Santorum seems the most inclined to give the media the opening, several times.
Aldo Santorum served in the US military.
I see another clueless birther moron has chimed in to insult a veteran.
And you can stick it where the sun don't shine. I don't cotton to idiots like you disparaging military service to our country. And I strongly suggest you back off your moronic attack on Aldo Santorum's citizenship.
That is good enough to me.
It should be good enough for you.
If it isn't, well, you have my contempt. It's up to you if you want to be a moron.
Immediate Right to Apply for Citizenship for Military Personnel Who Performed Active Duty
You don't even need a green card (permanent residence) to apply for U.S. citizenship if you served honorably and on active duty with the U.S. Armed Forces during one of the wars or conflicts named below. You can go straight from being an undocumented or illegal immigrant to applying for and receiving U.S. citizenship. Of course, if you already have a green card, you can also use this section to avoid the five-year period that most people must wait before applying for naturalization. (See I.N.A. section 329, 8 U.S.C. section 1440.)
You must, however, have enlisted (signed up) while you were still on U.S. territory. The recognized U.S. territories include the Canal Zone, American Samoa, Swains Island, and a noncommercial U.S. ship.
Here are the conflicts that qualify you for immediate U.S. citizenship:
World War I (April 6, 1917 to November 11, 1918)
World War II (September 1, 1939 to December 31, 1946)
the Korean hostilities (June 25, 1950 to July 1, 1955)
the Vietnam hostilities (February 28, 1961 to October 15, 1978)
the Persian Gulf War (August 2, 1990 to April 11, 1991) "Operation Enduring Freedom" (also called the "War on Terrorism" or "Iraq Hostilities", which began September 11, 2001 and will end when the U.S. President issues an order so stating).
If you enlisted during one of the times of war listed above, you will be allowed to apply for naturalization after only one day of military service, and you can apply while you're overseas (or in the United States).
Most of the usual requirements for naturalization will apply to you. However, unlike ordinary applicants you can be approved without regard to your age or how much time you have recently spent physically present in the United States, and in the state in which your application will be processed.
In addition, you won't have to pay the usual N-400 application fee. But you will have to file an additional form -- USCIS Form N-426, Request for Certification of Military or Naval Service. This form will require input and a signature from a U.S. military official.
For anyone who thinks they've spotted a loophole allowing someone to sign up for the U.S. military, serve for only a day or two, and walk away as a U.S. citizen, we've got bad news. For one thing, USCIS will wait until the new recruit is done with basic training to complete the citizenship application process. More importantly, you'll need to honorably complete your term of military service in order to hold onto U.S. citizenship gained in this way. If you don't, your U.S. citizenship will be taken away.
-----
So tell us, oh wise one - which of the above conditions did Aldo Santorum fail to meet?
Do you really want to be a complete dolt by trying to pursue the birther agenda to this extreme - by calling into question whether an honorably-discharged WWII immigrant veteran might not be a citizen, when he has met the military service requirements for citizenship as defined in the U.S. Code?
If so, you and your cohorts will only come across looking like petulant fools.
