“The Constitution may not tell us explicitly the definition of natural born Citizen, but, by its very phraseology, it very explicitly tells us that natural born Citizen cannot simply be the same as “born citizen.””

No, it doesn’t. The length of your screed beyond this point is not relevant, as your argument is built on that particular sand.

This is the singular problem with birtherism. It’s built on emotion, the insistence that one can find some secret meaning beyond the Constitution to support the emotional conclusions you have already drawn. That’s something, but it isn’t conservative.

Let’s see, I present a well-formed argument based on facts and logic from the actual Constitution, the founders’ own words and references to law.

You counter will simpleminded contradiction, no facts, no logic, nothing but Alinsky name calling and projection of your own emotional devotion to your otherwise unsupported beliefs.

When it comes to these disparate arguments, I am more than happy to the let the reader be the judge of which to believe. :)
