The NBC “issue” regarding a candidate's parents is absurd. These people should check under their beds or dark closets for another boogieman.

You need to go back in history and read why the framers put those “natural born citizen” words in the Second Amendment. Here we sit with an impostor in the WH and you fail to see the harm in advancing the argument that any old “citizen” can be president. Can't you see that Obama proves the case for insisting that a president be born on U.S. soil and to two U.S. citizen parents. If the law would have been followed with Obama, look at all the strife that this country would have avoided. It proves that Obama never had loyal American parenting to be fit for being the president.
You are wrong.
It is not at all “conservative” to bend, twist and distort the law of this country to achieve a desired end result.
Obama, if born in this country, IS a natural born citizen.
Marco Rubio IS A NATURAL BORN CITIZEN!
“It is an established maxim, received by all political writers that every person owes a natural allegiance to the government of that country in which he is born. Allegiance is defined to be a tie, that binds the subject to the state, and in consequence of his obedience, he is entitled to protection… The children of aliens, born in this state, are considered as natural born subjects, and have the same rights with the rest of the citizens.”
Zephaniah Swift, A system of the laws of the state of Connecticut: in six books, Volumes 1-2 of A System of the Laws of the State of Connecticut: pg. 163,167 (1795)

http://nativeborncitizen.wordpress.com/natural-born-quotes/ James Madison, The Founders’ Constitution Volume 2, Article 1, Section 2, Clause 2,
Madison:
It is an established maxim that birth is a criterion of allegiance. Birth however derives its force sometimes from place and sometimes from parentage, but in general place is the most certain criterion; it is what applies in the United States; it will therefore be unnecessary to investigate any other.
