As you know, it's all about winning the hearts and minds. ;-)
I wish I knew what happened to that other thread. I was away for a few days and missed the end of it. I try to keep it civil and not make it personal. I say my piece and let the readers decide.
I hate it when these threads degenerate into a "you're a liar, no you are" back and forth. A part of me is wondering if that's becoming an intentional tactic to get damaging threads pulled by the mods before the masses get to see them.
Having these debates archived for others to search on is very nice, especially if the source article is agitprop or psyops. Using abuse as a weapon to get them tossed is a shame, if that's what's going on.

I agree and I try to avoid it but when someone states an out and out lie it must be addressed. Some people here claim that it is law that a natural born citizen MUST have citizen parents. I ask them to show me that law and all I get is a load of you know what - but NEVER the precise law.
You know, if it was a law, I could certainly live with it. It’s no skin off my nose if you need 2 citizen parents, heck, I’d even go for a rule that says your great grandfather must be a citizen if that’s what the founders wanted. I will do anything the founders want because I honor and respect them.
I also respect that lots of people (like Paine, Jay, Madison, etc., had personal thoughts and ideas but unless it somehow got into writing as part of the Constitution or enacted law, it is JUST an opinion and not binding. Hell, I’d like to have restaurants serve free meals on Sunday! Ain’t goin’ to happen.
I just want to see a precise assertion by some judge or law somewhere that mandates a two citizen parent rule. It can’t be found - but many judges and laws and knowledgable sources state quite the opposite. What is an honest man to do?
