It was not just a one sentence reference by some random contributer to WND who stated that he believes that pterodactyls are flying over out heads, it was the Editor-in-Chief on WND who states that he believes that pterodactyls are still living on this earth.
And no, it was not more than ten years ago that the Editor-in-Chief of WND wrote that he believes that pterodactyls are still alive, but rather it was in 2004.
It sounds more like youre trying to find something to support your own personal dislike for WorldNetDailys Christian worldview in their articles and writers.
Sorry, but the idea that pterodactyls are flying over Africa is not part of any rational Christian worldview.
Every Senator signed the Patrick Leahy, Clair McGaskill, Obama, Clinton Senate Res 511 stating unequivocally that a natural born citizen has parents who are citizens - not one parent - and is born on US Soil (McCain's problem) http://leahy.senate.gov/press/200804/041008c.html Two dozen attempts at least have been made to amend Article II Section 1, and none have succeeded. The term-of-art has been defined and defined in supreme court cases and its origin cited unambiguously. Here is one of the earliest, the decision written by Chief Justice John Marshall in The Venus of 1816 http://supreme.justia.com/us/12/253/ By our (former!) constitution, Barack Obama, or whatever his legal name is, cannot be president if his father is not a citizen. He may have a birth certificate, but if the father is who Obama claims, Barak is not a constitutional president, and its a travesty that our judiciary, our legislators, and most of our legal scholars have not the courage to defend the our foundation as a republic.
I agree that they have been doing the work that the msm won’t. It’s just this guy, naranja was odd.
You said — I agree that they have been doing the work that the msm wont. Its just this guy, naranja was odd.

Yes, he was odd and I thought there were signs that he was a scammer, from the beginning. And you can see my many posts to that effect on the issue of whether he was a scammer or not. However, a lot of other posters really hammered me for being skeptical and saying it was fishy....
But, what WorldNetDaily was doing, was simply *reporting* the issue, and just giving the facts as they knew it at the time. They weren’t “buying into it” but were merely using the story to pump up their hits for their *real point* which is — “Where is the Birth Certificate?” ... LOL...
And I don’t see anything wrong with them reporting such things. And I was *really happy* when I saw that eBay scammer say that he was going to give it to WorldNetDaily — because I knew, then, the issue would be quickly exposed as him being a scammer, when he ended up refusing to give it to WorldNetDaily or verifying it or cooperating with anyone, about this document.
I believe the more rational thing for people to do in this Obama birth certificate issue is to get state laws passed requiring specific documentation or a candidate cannot be on the ballot. That’s something that would *get results* as opposed to be gullible about scammers on the Internet... :-)
Absolutely. No one had the balls to run before that wasn’t a citizen. Now one possibly has, we need to address it.
He’s a guy with pretty much a shallow history.
Don’t get me started on trying to get a copy of a birth certificate. Mine (from ‘57 in a small Texas town) has gone “missing”. I have tried til I’m blue in the face to get a copy. No luck.
God Bless,

Maybe you don't exist.
In Mombasa, you can buy any birth certificate you want, in any name you want, and for relatively samll money.
This issue will be resolved by governments, or it won't be resolved at all. A "Kenya birth certificate" that is not validated by the Commonwealth Office in London is worthless. Similarly, a "Hawaii Birth Certificate" that is not confirmed or endorsed by the State of Hawaii is also worthless.
Oh I exist when it comes to taxes.... believe me!!!
Actually, you furthermore said, let World Net Daily check him out to find if he's a fraud.
Most of us took, if not all, took him with a big grain of salt. Giving him attention is not the same as drinking his koolaid until he put up. We may have hope this guy was telling the truth and some took that as bad for FR reputation, which is BS, and something Obots would say to spin it their way.
It played out the way it should.
My post #45 was my position on the matter in regards to WorldNetDaily, and I voiced that same thing in those threads...
And I dont see anything wrong with them reporting such things. And I was *really happy* when I saw that eBay scammer say that he was going to give it to WorldNetDaily because I knew, then, the issue would be quickly exposed as him being a scammer, when he ended up refusing to give it to WorldNetDaily or verifying it or cooperating with anyone, about this document.
And that’s what happened, as I saw that the eBay scammer did not send it to WorldNetDaily. It was just like that other scammer, Chief Editor Korir, who said he was going to send his Michelle Obama phone tape about Obama being born in Kenya to Fox News. When that didn’t happen, it was obvious he was a scammer, too...
OK ST, you’re off the hook...this time. ;-)
And LoL!
:-)
I noticed WND gave no credit to the Freepers who were the source of the info.
WND is the National Enquirer of current events.
They are pretty good at tooting their own horn.
lmao!!!
Of course he would draw interest. He had a good line; good enough that I took him seriously for a while. Kept that rag WND going a helluva longer time than he kept most of us going. WND was a litle late to the party. What did they report that we did not dig up weeks ago? That is the beauty of not heeding 'warnings' such as yours. We get at the truth a lot faster.
And so what if other freepers wanted to believe him? So what if they desperately wanted it to be true even up until today? No sweat of my back. It is about getting the truth, not about being right.
