Don’t confuse my disagreement with ignorance. I’ve read the historical sources and caselaw. I’m familiar with Vattell, Blackstone, Madison, Storey and others. I understand that there are arguments that can be made for both sides of the debate re: meaning of “natural born citizen.” Just because I reach a different conclusion doesn’t mean I’m ignorant, and certainly doesn’t mean I’m not conservative.

It means exactly that, unfortunately.

BTW, just so you understand me. I agree with you that there are arguments that can be made for both sides of the debate; I’ve read them all.

It’s just that the arguments of one side, the side you seem to favor, are illogical, weakly reasoned, devoid of factual support, contrary to legislative intent, destructive to the polity of the nation, and inimical to Liberty.

Those arguments you favor lead directly to an “Obama Presidency”, and maybe worse to come. We are living the nightmare our founders sought to avoid - and all because of thinking like yours.
