Not only have I been called a traitor, but I’ve been told that my two oldest kids who served in the military (both with tours in Iraq) should be ashamed of their father - who also served in the US Air Force for 25+ years (including Iraq and Afghanistan), and whose father served in the military for 27 (including WW2, Korea and dying in Vietnam).
That happened within hours of my first post (in 11 years) on a birther thread, saying that LTC Lakin would lose his case in a court-martial.
I’ve also given in to emotion, but it is easy to do when attacked in a very personal manner. One of my reasons for posting this thread is to try to remove some of the venom, and let folks honorably disagree with each other.
I disagree with birthers posting here on FR. I confess I hate many Democrats, whom I consider to truly be America-hating traitors, and that includes Obama. If that is harmful to my soul, then may God forgive me.
I do not find you to be a traitor. You have your opinion based on how you interpret what you have read. We all interpret differently and unfortunately, we can not be the determining factor on what is and isn’t the intent of our founders when it comes to this clause.
I only hope that one day the decision will be made. For the benefit of our country, it better be a good and just decision!
I do have to say this has been an eye opener for many and it has forced us to all learn about our Constitution which they do not even teach in our schools any longer. I remember having to recite the Declaration of Independence (I believe it was in 5th grade). I was extremely proud to have accomplished it, but I was not happy to do it at the time. I now wish they continued this to this day. My 3 kids did not partake in any reading of the Constitution, Bill of rights, Declaration, seats of Congress or the 3 branches of government and why they are there, which we all had to know as well. I’ve had to teach them all this which is fine, but I do believe this should be introduced in school.
I don't find it annoying for those who think the birth issue is a non-issue parrying with those who do. It just forces those who believe that there may be an issue of some sort, I am included, to hone their arguments/research that much more, keeping a lot of junk out of the discussions.
