What I had in mind was more along the lines of the Kenyan BC on the red bedspread.

I thought as much, but you painted with a broad brush. Not all who have been labeled "birther" are in that "born in Kenya" camp. I personally find the idea far fetched. The money and logistics simply do not work.

Jeff is not arguing the "birth in Kenya" issue, to my knowledge. This discussion is specifically regarding whether the founders intended that the meaning of "natural born citizen" should be applied to anyone born inside the borders, or whether or not they had more stringent requirements, such as birth to an American father.

Jeff seizes upon comments from various figures in history, and attempts to force their words to fit his argument. Some of them agree with him, i'll admit to that. Jeff has his supporters in the Historical record. However, Jeff grabs a whole bunch of other people who are not clearly supporters or even relevant, and claims them as if they were. He also dismisses any evidence which proves the contrary. (such as that page I showed you.)

Jeff asserts that he is reasonable, and attempts to portray himself as such, but in fact he is as bitterly partisan and subjective as anyone you will find. Just thought you should know there is another side of which you might not be aware.
