Weak, emotional argument.

Either Obama meets the Constitution's requirements or he doesn't. If he doesn't, then he shouldn't be president, and an upraised middle finger to the 64 million morons!

That said, it's almost certain that Obama became a natural born citizen of the United States on 4 August 1961.

(McCain narrowly escaped the problem by being born in the Panama Canal zone, which is no longer American.)

No, David. Do your homework! McCain escaped the problem totally by having been born to American parents. Didn't matter where. Could have been the moon, for all it matters. Whether or not he was born on or off the base, and whether or not the base was US territory are irrelevant questions.

It is not conservatism; it is sore loserism and quite radical in its intent. Respect for election results is one of the most durable bulwarks of our unity as a nation.

Wrong again, David. The Constitution trumps election results. Otherwise, why have one?

You are right on.

As I mentioned in an earlier post, Horowitz made a weak and flawed argument.

But the question is does he fulfill the three requirments of the constitution.

It would appear that he does.

Actually, American parents engaged in National Service. If his dad wasn't on duty in the Navy, He'd probably be a citizen of whatever real estate he was born on. A reverse anchor baby. Active duty military don't have the choice, so they have exception.
