Have you noticed how many new names are suddenly posting on eligibility threads? Many have old sign up dates so they should have been involved in discussions at some point in the past three years, but I don’t recall seeing them. They come on and don’t have any clue on the research and never have source links other than Ark.
That said, new ideas and opinions are great and wonderful so more the merrier. I also don’t normally go by recent sign up dates much since I know some may be oldsters. But when an old sign up date shows up out of the blue, well, that just sends up red flags. There seems to be some agenda with this recent influx of the “NBC hasn’t been defined so birthers are wrong” posts. What’s your take on it?
Must be a big conspiracy.
Or it might be that FReepers like myself, who have been posting consistently on various topics for over a decade, see a thread that starts trying to take down possible GOP contenders like Jindal and Rubio and we think: "Hey, it's all cute and harmless when they're going after the Democrats, but when their obsessiveness starts threatening potential GOP contenders it's no longer cute and no longer harmless."
That's a possibility.
Why would any self described conservative or "constitutionalist" be arguing in favor of a born multi-nationalist being considered a "natural born Citizen" for the position of Commander in Chief of the military?
Are they really multi-nationalist's themselves? Globalist? Anti-American sovereignty types?
I totally agree.. something strange in going on here.. many of us have been with this since 2008 (I usually keep low on the radar, but anyone that want can looks pages back in my history)...
When I clicked into this thread, I was surprised also at the names of the after-birthers! I know them from other subjects, but it seems that they pulled together all at once to pinpoint on this subject.. definitely odd...
Ok.. going back off radar...
Bikk
The birther movement forked about the time of the election. Before the election, the birther line was, his CoLB is forged, he wasn't born in the US, his mom wasn't old enough to pass on citizenship, so he's not eligible, yada yada.
Then, about 11 December 2008, somebody trotted out Emmerich de Vattel and forked the birthers into two: the ones who say he's not a citizen because he wasn't really born here and the ones who say NBC requires two citizen parents. The latter appears to be new, as of a post-election thread. LOL!
Of course, I could be wrong about that. But, then, it should be simple to post a link to a thread prior to the election where the alternative (and equally bogus) line was pushed.
One entertaining irony is that anything that proves BHO, Sr. was truly his daddy (as he stipulated years before the election to the tune of having a book ghost-written about it by the natural born traitor Billy Ayers) bolsters the NBC definition wing at the expense of the fake BC wing. More entertainment!
