[Ha Ha Thats Very Logical]

Thank you so much for you post!
I can't argue with a single word of it. :-)

I gave a fair amount of thought to answering your questions. But if you truly believe that what's behind my opinions, as Fantasywriter claims, is the idea

that the Framers’ purpose in enshrining the right of foreigners to spawn our presidents was to clear the way for Obama to ascend to the highest office and destroy the country. I.e.: they recognized that a person w innate & self-stated primary foreign loyalties would qualify for the office under their terms, and that if such a person won an election they would use the office to destroy the Union—and they were fine w that

--if you really think that's where I'm coming from, I don't think I have anything more to say to you.

Logic and common sense is to the magic-dirt argument what garlic and holy water is to a vampire.

But common sense, much less logic, are not strong suits in the magic-dirt universe. Arguing that the Framers desired persons w foreign allegiances to gain the highest office, from which their actions [toward the goal of destroying the country] would be only too predictable, is literally insane.

Likewise arguing that Obama, by virtue of his Kenyan-half/father, has no foreign allegiance, is equally insane/ludicrous/nonsensical. Obama has told us, in so many words, that his first allegiance is to Africa/his father/Kenya. Not only that, but his actions have matched his words. Only in the magical make-believe world of magic-dirt is this unknown—and willfully so.

It's true I don't believe the Founders intented foreign citizens to give birth to natural born citizens without having gone through the naturalization process themselves, and it's true I believe the purpose of that intent was to prevent someone with questionable loyalties from holding office.

If, however, you believe the conversation should end based on the illustrative language of someone who has given themselves the nickname 'fantasywriter', it's your choice.

I would never, for one second, make a single assumption about what you think based on the words of someone else.

I just don't work that way.
