The culture warriors used a blow job to bring down Clinton because the prosperity he brought to most middle and lower class homes couldnt not be unseen by us. Culture wars work because they fuck with what you think is right. But when it comes to peoples money and prosperity, that will win out in the end.

Should Hawai'i be a sovereign nation? Yes. Has the US recognized this? Yes. Are they willing to change anything? No.
That is the absolute sole legitimate claim any birther may be making. Though I think it is null and void since his mom was, you know, AMERICAN.

"Section 309(c) of the Immigration and Naturalization Act lays out the citizenship status of a child born to unmarried parents. If the US citizen is the unwed mother, she has to have US citizenship at the time of birth AND must have been previously physically present in US or outlying possessions for a continuous period of one year. INA Section 301(g) is the one that states that the residency requirement is five years. There is an exception to 301(g) in 309(c), in which the residency requirement is lowered to only on year, and there does not have to be actual physical presence in the US on the mother's part after the age of 14. That is to say, that single year of continuous residence may have taken place before the mother reached the age of 14. That is to avoid stateless status for a child. And yes, I got this out of my actual physical copy of the INA, not off the internet, or from some talking points."

I'm getting a gun, but only because I'm starting to get afraid that these conservative nutjobs are going to start looting in the name of "revolution." BULLSHIT.

THE MAJORITY OF THE COUNTRY VOTED FOR OBAMA! YOU ARE THE ODD MAN OUT! Ahem. I voted for Obama twice and I am not going anywhere. This is my country too. The founding fathers set up the US so people could have differing point of views. If you don't like that, then maybe you should be the one to leave the country. You obviously don't get this whole American thing.

Edited to add: That is, I wholeheartedly agree with you, especially your outraged first statements, and they made me smile.

But.... a majority of Americans did not vote for Obama. A majority of the people who showed up to vote that day, yes. Obama got 69,456,897 votes, and even with a generous voter turnout estimate of 63%, that's still a minority of the estimated 308 Million Americans.
This is exactly the kind of pedantic argument that the birthers love to trot out.

This just about sums up my feelings.
