Do you have anything serious that you can add to this discussion or do you think that your little jokes take the place of any intelligent argument on your part?
Yes. But I am not going to reply after I make it. I know before I even press submit that no matter what I say, there will be pages of horse-pucky explaining why I am a fools fool who should flog himself with a stupid stick.
Firstly, there have been countless legitimate arguments made against birthers on countless threads. Most reasonable FReepers won't come near these threads with a 10' pole anymore, because they know birthers are nuts. I know you guys like to believe that you are reasonable, but any objective observation of birther threads will show that birthers are intollerant of disbelief in the cult of Vattel.
Since you guys are all smarter than the rest of us, riddle me this...
Stools have legs and stools have seats and any fool knows a stool has 3 or more legs but only one seat. But the birther, when presented with seats of stools and legs of stools, flipped the logic of the world on its end and sat not upon the seat but on the leg, and not once, or twice but thrice for all to see. And who said that "in order to be of the country, it is necessary that a person be born of a father who is a citizen"? Surely not so wise a man as one who would say "of parents who are citizens". Stools which have seats and seats of stools, why I tell you its all nonesense! Every birther knows a stool has two legs and two seats!
How do you presume to apply equal protection under the law given the United States government does not track the citizenship of either parent nonetheless "both" at the time of birth for millions of Americans? No birther wants to have an "intelligent argument" as you put it. Birthers are no different than liberals who claim the 2nd amendment only protects militias.
