Word salad? Just mix em up with tongs and call it an argument.

I've no problem with snipping for brevity and focus, but here I'll point out that you are just pretending, playing dumb. No, my argument was not beyond your comprehenstion. In our time, the legal references that spoke to this issue said that native-born citizens qualify as Article II natural-born citizens. It may have been an open question back in the 1800's, but it got settled.

“I can respect contrarians, but not people who start telling the rules different when then don’t like who is winning”.
Winning? Charlie Sheen winning? Are you winning, Blade?

In my own life, I'd say, well, mixed bag. Thanks for asking. I'm dealing with reality. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama

“When you can explain why the status of Slaves and Indians did not comport with your ‘Black’s law’ definition, let me know. Till then, you are just making noise.”

Well, because of reality. The sixth edition of /Blacks/ which I quoted is old enough that the writers and editors could not have foreseen Barack Obama’s candidacy, but no so old that slavery was legal or that American Indians were considered to be a savages of a lesser class.

“You are going to have to make your point more clear. It may make sense to you, but it does not to me.”

I’m O.K. with that. I might be able to explain it terms you would accept, but if not, well, you and I understanding each other is not the center of our concerns. I’ll try: For as long as I (and I’d guess you too) have been alive, all the legal references that spoke to the issue said that native-born citizens qualify as natural-born citizens; no one in our time said different until a certain faction need reasons why Barack Obama cannot really be president.

Waxing eloquently in righteous indignation? Except you forgot to address the point. The FACT of Slavery and Indians PROVES your Jus Soli theory completely wrong. I am not discussing the morality of their status, I am pointing out the fact of it. Address the FACT or shut up.

I thought that was what you were implying. Run out of arguments and you turn to ad Hominem. Not that it will do any good, but I will point out a few things for you. Firstly, I was against BARACK being President when I first HEARD he was from "Kenya" because that is an automatic disqualification in most minds. Ah, but you say, He isn't from KENYA. Maybe not, but he certainly made efforts to make people think he was from Kenya.

I count 38 links to news stories or videos stating or implying that Barack was FROM KENYA! I even recall the issue being brought up in the Keyes/Obama debate for US Senate seat from Illinois where Keyes mentions that Barack is from Kenya, to which Barack replies that he isn't running for President, just the US Senate where it doesn't matter.

So yeah, the guy has implied repeatedly that he was from Kenya, why would anyone concentrate on his foreign father first? Yeah, that disqualifies him too, but being from Kenya disqualifies him first! Of course, that turned out to be a lie, so people looked at item number 2. Foreign Father. Now it's looking like THAT is a lie as well.

Here is your link to those 38 examples of videos or media reporting that he was from Kenya. I'm sure that four years ago their were hundreds, but people are busy scrubbing the net.

The bottom line is your man is a pathological and habitual liar, as are most Democrats.
