-- an alien could be a citizen. --

An alien could become a citizen, via naturalization. True then, true now.

-- So born of two citizens..not necessarily two natural born citizens. --

That's right. A child of two naturalized citizens becomes a member of the first generation of natural born citizens. My resistance is to the notion that a person born on US soil is a natural born citizen, even if that child is the son of non-citizens.

-- bamanazi could not be a natural born citizen as his father was not a citzen but a child born of two aliens who have become citizens could be President whether or not born on US soil. --

The child is born of two naturalized citizens, that is, born of citizens. There is no mixed allegiance in the family unit, as between parent(s) and child.

They, in fact, did. How do you think births were registered if the kid was dropped at home?

How much do you get paid per post or is it by the hour?

I will try one more — LAST TIME!(hint)

Please TRY to grasp the concept that one word may be substituted for a-n’o-t-h-e-r w-o-r-d.

O K? Alright? are we ‘clear? Do you Understand?

I will repeat just in case you missed it the first time.

Please TRY to grasp the concept that one word may be substituted, exchanged, put in place of, be synonymous with: and still retain the same meaning.

Do you know what a synonym is?

The Sanskrit word Karma is equal to; identical to, interchangeable with, synonymous with: the following English words.

Repeat:

The Sanskrit word Karma is equal to; identical to, interchangeable with, synonymous with: the following English words.

One more time:

KARMA IS EQUAL TO THE FOLLOWING ENGLISH WORDS.

‘ACTION’; to ‘ACT’; ‘CAUSE’ (as opposed to effect)to ‘DO’
perform a ‘DEED”(good or bad)to SOW (as opposed to reap)

Now you may not like the word karma so my suggestion to you would be: don’t use it!

If others use the word improperly you NOW know the true meaning.

Master, what ‘karmas’ must I ‘perform’ to inherit eternal life?”

Rabbi, what ‘deeds’ must I ‘do’ to inherit eternal life?”

Teacher, what ‘actions’ must I ‘take’ to inherit EVERLASTING life?”

Preceptor, what must I ‘Do’ to inherit eternal life?

Got it? Grasp it? Understand it?

SO LET’S TRY THIS AGAIN:

And behold, a certain lawyer stood up and put Him to the test, saying, “Teacher, what shall I ****DO**** to inherit eternal life?”

NOTE: WHAT ACTIONS (in Sanskrit;karmas )MUST I TAKE to inherit eternal life?”

And He said to him, “What is written in the Law? How does it read to you?”

And he answered and said, “You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.”

But wishing to justify himself, he said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”

Jesus replied and said, “A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho; and he fell among robbers, and they stripped him and beat him, and went off leaving him half dead”

“And by chance a certain priest was going down on that road, and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.”

“And likewise a Levite also, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side.”

“But a certain Samaritan, who was on a journey, came upon him; and when he saw him, he felt compassion,”

“and came to him, and bandaged up his wounds, pouring oil and wine on them; and he put him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.’

“And on the next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper and said, ‘Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, when I return, I will repay you.’”

“Which of these three do you think proved to be a neighbor to the man who fell into the robbers’ hands?”

And he said, “the one who showed mercy toward him.” And Jesus said to him, “Go and ****DO*** the same.”

Now, as I said, if you don’t like the word karma — which translates as action or deed: don’t use it!

Have a nice day!

Thank you for your reply. There may be some conflating Obama's defense regarding the Berg lawsuit, which is not necessarily a cover-up.

I'm wondering if there is anything in which someone filed a suit/FOI request/whatever regarding documents relating to Obama's birth and Obama paid lawyers to specifically fight the release.

No it wouldn't. You'd just say the document he showed is a fake. Then you'd continue to claim he can't be a natural born citizen because his father wasn't a citizen.

Actually, there might be some who would, but the general populous, who is beginning to wonder about this, would not.

I'm not big on conspiracy theories, but I am beginning to wonder why this hasn't been resolved by releasing whatever documents are demanded. Just do it, and get it over with.

Yes, there will be a couple dozen who might not believe, but the rest of the country would just go "OK, that's that." However, there would have to have been a pretty good reason for keeping it hidden so long.

“Alinsky’s RULE 5: “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.”

And it’s being practiced right here on FreeRepublic by those protecting Obama from potentially embarrassing or politically devastating information becoming public.”

************************

I fail to see how asking for evidence of birther claims is protecting Obama. If anything, asking for evidence and pointing out logical flaws in birther arguments should be helping birthers sharpen their arguments and preventing them from making fools of themselves. Many birther skeptics have suggested leads for getting real evidence.

But I haven’t seen any birther follow any of these leads.

They, in fact, did.

So you claim, without anything to back up your claim.

How do you think births were registered if the kid was dropped at home?

I'm sure they required more evidence than merely the word of one person. There's no way the State Department would accpet Hawaiian COLB's as proof of citizenship in passport applications if it were so easy to defraud the State of Hawaii.

"Ann Dunham did not have to be present for this statement or even in the country."

That's not what the primary source document from the Hawaii department of public health says. That's Worldnutdaily's gloss, which the primary source document does not support.

So let me ask you: what evidence do you have that it was easy to defraud the State of Hawaii when registering a home birth?
