‘LePage is in error having drunk the Birther Kool Aid.’

This is a nonsensical statement. If LePage had said, ‘According to my theory of citizenship, my daughters would have to be naturalized before they could be US citizens,’ you might have a point.

But that’s not what he said at all.

LePage said that as a matter of FACT—i.e.: as a matter of historical record—his daughters had to be naturalized before they could be US citizens. There is no Kool Aid involved in relating historical facts. It’s just a matter of saying, “For the record, this is what happened.”

If I said, ‘Before I could get a prescription, I had to see a Dr,’ would you accuse me of drinking Kool Aid? Yet that’s all LePage did: he made public the factual/historical method by which his Canadian-born daughters became US citizens.

If there’s any Kool Aid drinking going on, you’re the one chugging it. According to you, what factually happened couldn’t have happened, because it violates your theory. Chug chug, man, does that Cruz-flavored Kool Aid hit the spot!

LePage drank the Kool Aid. He had his NBC daughters "naturalized" but that is like a Catholic being baptized twice. The first baptism makes the second redundant. Your rendition and his are what seemed to happen historically and what he THOUGHT he needed to do, but he was wrong. If he were right, Lowell Weicker (born in Paris, France of two American citizen parents) must never have served in the Senate and I and my friends did not have to labor very hard to take his Senate seat from the spoiled treasonweasel brat. His treason, BTW, involved his policies and not his place of birth.

What you CLAIM happened was ineffective since those girls were already NBCs. Ask any and all courts nowadays and they are right.
