"and frankly don’t give a darn"

I give a darn. If it's legal and it will rid us of Obozo, I give a very big darn.

Good rant, as far as it goes. Personally, I would have been delighted had McCain been thrown out of the race early on because he was born in a hospital in Panama, not in the confines of the U.S. Canal Zone.

But there is still no argument whatsoever that McCain's father and mother were both U.S. citizens and that McCain was born while his father was on active duty serving his country.

This makes the location of McCain's birth a mere technicality. The law would make him a natural born U.S. Citizen anyway because both parents were U.S. Citizens and registered his birth within the allowed time frame after he was born.

Likewise, my daughter born in Japan is a natural born U.S. Citizen because we, her parents, both went to the embassy in Tokyo within the required timeframe to (1)prove our U.S. Citizenship (passports),(2)our marriage (marriage certificate), (3)her live birth (Japanese birth certificate) and (4)present her in person with a matching photo on a U.S. Passport application.

All of these things produce records and a paper trail, not unlike the process which was available to Obama's parents when he was born in the 1960's. And, yet, my daughter can produce all of the aforementioned documents and Obama can or will produce none of them save for an abbreviated certificate of live birth (web edition) from the State of Hawaii which may or may not be genuine.

Why didn’t McCain USE that weapon against Obama?

Why didn’t McCain use anything against Obama?

Explains very nicely why having 2 American citizen parents is important in this situation.

(Would this also disqualify Jindal? His folks weren’t citizens yet when he was born, as I recollect, even tho he was born here.)

Unfortunately I think there’s a lot of fear about what would happen if we were to actually confront this issue. There would be blood as a result.

Slavery was a very similar situation in the respect that no one had the courage to confront it head on. Instead they let it fester and in the end it became a trip wire that led to a civil war.

“Does the “natural born” requirement eliminate anyone born by C-section?” question from another site!

Another on-target article. Excellent read.

I wish some newspapers and others would republish your work to a wider audience.

The Examiner article is datelined Las Vegas. Can you send your work to the Editor of the R-J or Sun for example, D? Sorry, I don’t know how the publishing business works.

1) If McCain were a NBC born on a Military Base inside the Panama Canal Territory (legally US Territory), why would he need the congress to reaffirm his status? It should be obvious, and completely unneeded. But apparently it was needed, because he did just that, had congress affirm his status.

With a non-binding Senate Resolution? Are you serious? How does that affirm anything?

I did some googling and found a blog by Mario Apuzzo, attorney in the Kerchner v Obama case. They have been waiting almost two months to hear back from the judge on the Motion to Dismiss for their case.

Don’t know if you know about this. Read more here:

When US citizenship is no longer a source of pride for either party and laughed off by the so-called intelligentsia, we get what we have now in the White house. Rose colored (red) rhetoric streaming from a teleprompter.
