Answer Man: Luke Scott talks Nugent, hunting and Obama origin (Barf)

Baltimore Orioles slugger Luke Scott(notes) stopped by baseball's winter meetings Tuesday and, after some harmless chatter about his team's offseason dealings, stated with conviction that President Barack Obama was not born in the United States.

Oh, yes, he did. Scott's opinion about the president's birthplace — while certainly not unique — was a stunning climax to a friendly and frank 20-minute Answer Man session that spanned his enthusiasm for baseball, hunting, firearms, personal responsibility and smaller government.

"(Obama) was not born here," Scott asserted to Answer Man in the session's last segment. "That's my belief. I was born here. If someone accuses me of not being born here, I can go — within 10 minutes — to my filing cabinet and I can pick up my real birth certificate and I can go, 'See? Look! Here it is. Here it is.' The man has dodged everything. He dodges questions, he doesn't answer anything."

Scott's controversial comments are gaining steam in the online world (read the full text of them here), his Wikipedia page has already been updated with the comments and teammate Adam Jones(notes) has tweeted a preemptive show of support ("Luke Scott Luke Scott Luke Scott Luke Scott you still my boy").

Scott used to come to the ballpark packing heat. Now sporting an offseason beard but no noticeable firearm, Scott came out guns blazing, figuratively, in Orlando.

Right ! How ‘bout that great young American
guy speaking out ... God bless him.

[luvie]

I am very impressed with anybody speaking their heart no matter what other people might think! He’s a hero!

[Danae]

But the word is getting out there, and people are becoming more aware of it. Next, they will start to recognize what it MEANS if (and I think certainly) Obama is NOT constitutionally qualified for POTUS.

Then we will see the poodoo hit the fan. I recommend leaving the room before the toss with an “I TOLD YA SO” as you go out the door, because that fan is on oscillate/high. No, it will not be pretty. It will not smell nice. It will be downright scary.

Thanks Star.

It’s always good to see this issue get exposure.

[Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!]

Of course Obama’s media is going to spin this.

More people need to speak out that Obama nevers answers to anything and he is hiding something. Imagine if Bush kept his college records hidden. It is rumored (because he won’t say)that Obama got C’s and D’s in college. How was he a professor? Is he still a lawyer?

" We need more folks like Luke to step up to the microphone and tell it like it is! I like this guy! "

It needs to happen everyday...

[American Constitutionalist]

" You know what? People who have bad intentions, people that are deceivers or are not of honor and integrity — that’s how they act. I’ve seen it in every — it doesn’t matter what level. It can be in politics, it can be in business, it can be in sports, it can be in the construction field. Doesn’t matter. It’s all the same attitude. It’s the same thing. "

Mathew Henry's Bible commentary , words that were written over 300 years ago, but, still applies today...
This is Mathew Henry's comments on Isaiah chapter 59 verse 4.

( ** (4.) No methods are taken to redress these grievances, and reform these abuses (v. 4): None calls for justice, none complains of the violation of the sacred laws of justice, nor seeks to right those that suffer wrong or to get the laws put in execution against vice and profaneness, and those lewd practices which are the shame, and threaten to be the bane, of the nation.
Note, When justice is not done there is blame to be laid not only upon the magistrates that should administer justice, but upon the people that should call for it.
Private persons ought to contribute to the public good by discovering secret wickedness, and giving those an opportunity to punish it that have the power of doing so in their hands; but it is ill with a state when princes rule ill and the people love to have it so.
Truth is opposed, and there is not any that pleads for it, not any that has the conscience and courage to appear in defence of an honest cause, and confront a prosperous fraud and wrong.
The way of peace is as little regarded as the way of truth; they know it not, that is, they never study the things that make for peace, no care is taken to prevent or punish the breaches of the peace and to accommodate matters in difference among neighbours; they are utter strangers to every thing that looks quiet and peaceable, and affect that which is blustering and turbulent.
There is no judgment in their goings; they have not any sense of justice in their dealings; it is a thing they make no account of at all, but can easily break through all its fences if they stand in the way of their malicious covetous designs.***).....

No barf here.

Thanks STARWISE, and thanks Baltimore Orioles slugger Luke Scott.

Not only is the Baltimore owner Angelos a dyed-in-the-wool Democrat, but so are just about all the other owners in both major leagues. To the best of my knowledge, Republicans have been shut out of new MLB ownerships ever since Commissar Selig arrived in 1992 - by design. The last clearly Republican owner was George W. Bush, and he purchased his Texas team when his daddy was president, so that the syndicate could have a pipeline to the White House. In other words, W was granted an exemption. Since then, during Selig's reign, I know of no Republican who has been allowed in the owners' club.

Surprised that Luke Scott hasn't gotten the John Rocker treatment yet as punishment from the crony capitalists who run the game - like sensitivity counseling, etc. But Scott may pay the price next year when he is scheduled for free agency. These leftist owners aren't too keen about politically incorrect speech on the part of their employees, and many have long memories.

“...Baltimore owner Angelos a dyed-in-the-wool Democrat...”

His wife is actually a member at DU. A real leftist wacko.

Frank, what was her name...flydown? or something like that.

[justiceseeker93]

[Angelos'] wife is actually a member at DU. A real leftist wacko.

Thanks for the info. BTW, check out the Commissar Selig and his political contributions and you'll find out about his affection for the 'Rats as well. That's why Scott had a lot of courage to speak his mind on this.

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks justiceseeker93!
