Ermey Says He’ll 'Square Away' Birthers

Troops challenging the legitimacy of President Barack Obama as commander-in-chief -- including at least one who is fighting deployment -- should take heed: Gunnery Sgt. Hartman wants to know your "major malfunction."

R. Lee Ermey, the Marine-turned-actor whose role as drill instructor Gunny Hartman in the late Stanley Kubrick's "Full Metal Jacket" has all but placed the Vietnam veteran in the pantheon of Marine heroes alongside "Chesty" Puller, Smedley Butler and Dan Daly, isn't buying anyone's political objector status.

"I haven't heard about those guys," Ermey told Military.com during an Aug. 21 interview. "If I do run across them though, trust me, I'll square them away."

The left keep using Chester Aurthur as a example, but, the past is the past, can't change history now, that was over 100 years ago.... besides, Chester Aurthur was born in Vermont... he was born on US soil, natural born citizen.

I thought there was a little hospital at the base. Seems to me that I remember a discussion one night on FR that there was a base hospital. And the main investigative posters said the doctors name checked out as being at Coco Solo at the time.

Nope. Chester Arthurs father wasn't an American.

The “birthers” that I know believe that she is his step-grandmother. She was the old mans 2nd wife. He had 3 main wives, Helima, Akuma and Sarah. But they also believe that she was talking about Obeyme when she stated that she was there when he was born. I was also told that the tape has since been manipulated to say something different now. You know something is fishy when the Kenyan government says there will be no interviews of the family without the Governmnets permission. Then you’ve got that pesky interview with the Kenyan Ambassador who says Obeyme’s birthplace is well known to Kenyans and they visit it.

Good morning,

Whether she is his step-grandmother or his real grandmother there is more reason to believe he was born in Africa than to believe he was born here.

Not that it matters. nobody is going to remove him from office during this term.

His popularity is sinking. You never know what may happen.

We will waste the opportunity to block him from running for a second tern while making it harder for another usurper to run in the future if we concentrate on removing him during this term rather than working to pass state laws that require a long form BC plus some other proof that the person seeking ballot access was born in the U.S.

If we just get that law passed in 5 or 6 key states it would keep a usurper from being able to get enough EC votes to be elected..

I disagree. I believe that while the nation is becoming angry at his policies, it is a great time to use him as an example of why we need to pass vetting laws. We need to point out that he was not properly vetted and that Roger Calero was also on the ballot. Neither were questioned on citizenship. He’s the poster boy for the need for laws.

Sure use him to point why the laws are needed but there are people who think they can get him removed during this term; that isn’t going to happen.

I wouldn’t say it can’t happen. People are angry. I never thought I’d see what we’re now seeing at townhalls. If this continues, he could be investigated.

Investigated is a far cry from removed.

Not so far. And it would cripple his Presidency.

The requirement, iirc, was that she be resident at least four years after reaching the age of majority. She was not old enough to have done so.

The law currently says one year, and the notes do not indicate a change going back to at least 1952. However I misspoke a bit. The law 8 USC 1409 Children born out of wedlock actually reads:

... a person born, after December 23, 1952, outside the United States and out of wedlock shall be held to have acquired at birth the nationality status of his mother, if the mother had the nationality of the United States at the time of such person’s birth, and if the mother had previously been physically present in the United States or one of its outlying possessions for a continuous period of one year.

Notice, it says "nationality", not citizenship. Those are not the same. Nationals are represented by the US, and can carry US passports. Citizens are nationals, but not all nationals are citizens, under US law.

But if you have a link that indicates otherwise, I'd be happy to be corrected.

“Why are these off limits? “

“5 Harvard University transcripts
8 Law practice client list and billing records/summary
11 Occidental College Transcripts
13 Record of baptism
17 Scholarly articles
18 SAT and LSAT test scores “

A soldier doesnt sign up to serve on the condition that his C-in-C got good grades in college or got a certain LSAT score, or was baptized (near as we know, Obama wasnt baptized as a child by his non-Catholic non-faithful Mom).
It’s absurd to demand these as a condition for obeying a military order. The military doesnt work that way.

“21 Punahou grade school records”
I dont recall seeing this for Clinton or GWB either.

“The long-form Hawaiian birth certificate doesn’t list the child’s citizenship. “

It doesn’t have to. If you are born in the US, you are a US citizen at the time of birth.

“My father had dual citizenship at birth; US and Canadian. He made a point of telling me that he couldn’t be POTUS.”

If your father was born on US soil, your father was wrong. If he was a citizen at birth, he was a natural-born citizen. Dual citizenship does not preclude eligibility to be President.

All other Presidents have provided these types of personal documents, Maybe you can prove me wrong, but I don't think any presidents other than Bush released their college transcripts, except perhaps to their biographers after they left office.

And none of them have provided grade school transcripts. It's almost laughable to put that in the list of demanded documents.

No one is demanding any of that as a condition for obeying a military order.

Are you an idiot? /rhetorical question

Please tell the Gunny that if he has the Certified copy of the original birth certificate, to post it for all to see. Then I will believe that 0bama meets the eligibility requirements under the Constitution.

If you don't have the COLB with an embossed seal, then with all due respect Gunny, shut your pie hole.
