Like I say, nutjob, name one thing I’ve ever posted that wasn’t true.

Oh, yeah. You can’t.

Jerk.

It would be harder to find stuff you said in support of your argument which is true. Your entire Modus operandi is to post all sorts of stuff which may happen to be true, but which does not support your argument. You claim it as supporting your argument, and that is what turns it into a lie. It is a lie by misdirection.

You also lie by omission. For an example of you doing this, I point everyone's attention to message number 248 in this thread.

Jeff posts an excerpt of a statement by John Bingham, one of the primary authors of the 14th amendment. Jeff Presents John Bingham as supporting Jeff's argument that merely being born inside our borders is enough to make one a citizen. Jeff INTENTIONALLY cuts out the further commentary from John Bingham in which he explicitly states that Jeff's theory is not correct. This is how Jeff posted it.

As for John Bingham, why don't you give his other quote:

“Who are natural-born citizens but those born within the Republic? Those born within the Republic, whether black or white, are citizens by birth — natural born citizens.”

Bingham clearly states that natural born citizens are those who are CITIZENS BY BIRTH.

Here is the rest of the quote which Jeff left out, and which completely destroys Jeff's argument.

Who are natural-born citizens but those born within the Republic? Those born within the Republic, whether black or white, are citizens by birth — natural born citizens. There is no such word as white in your constitution. Citizenship, therefore does not depend upon complexion any more than it depends upon the rights of election or of office. All from other lands, who by the terms of your laws and compliance with their provisions become naturalized, and are adopted citizens of the United States; all other persons born within the Republic, of parents owing allegiance to no other sovereignty, are natural born citizens.

Oh, yeah. You can’t.

I just did. Deal with it.
