All this Birther stuff is pure horse crap. I can not believe that they have been pushing it for 16 some odd years!
Yep, 16 years going back to John McCain.
You know what I find so interesting about the Birther mindset, is how they not only “pretend away” the Wong Kim Ark decision, they also “pretend away” what Vattel himself said! From my BFF’s website:
Some countries do follow Vattel’s line of thinking, but what the Vattel Birthers will seldom tell you, is that even Vattel, himself, recognized some countries do things differently. Like that Big Island sitting across the English Channel from France:
Finally, there are states, as, for instance, England, where the single circumstance of being born in the country naturalizes the children of a foreigner.”
Do Birthers sit around and chant to themselves? Do they go get hypnotized into ignoring that? What do they have to do to themselves to become that oblivious to Reality???
I think they are just Sovereign Citizens Lite, and have something insane in the membrane.

Hell, Calvin's case (1608) was a "birther" dispute, and likely only decided the way it was because of enormous pressure from the King on the Judges. Even then it wasn't unanimous.
