If you think I am a ‘dude’ than you not only cannot read but are hopelessly uncouth.
Is it okay if I call you "doll" then? (I don't want to be sexist here for our resident hair-splitter).
First, there is no reason to be "couth" towards people who use the most absurd attacks on anybody who might be perceived as a threat to Palin in 2012, i.e. Bobby Jindal. You see, these Palinistas won't tolerate any sort of criticism of Palin - she is untouchable. Now, I could be wrong, but I assume you're a Palinista.
As for the "natural born citizen" issue - you are truly wasting your time, and you need to get some new material. The Supreme Court has never ventured out to give an exact definition of an NBC. Jindal was born in Baton Rouge to legal immigrant parents. It does not matter how long his parents were here, nor whether they were naturalized themselves.
Since there was no definition of "natural born citizen" found in the constitution, the majority adopted the common law of England: The (Supreme) court ruled:
It thus clearly appears that by the law of England for the last three centuries, beginning before the settlement of this country, and continuing to the present day, aliens, while residing in the dominions possessed by the crown of England, were within the allegiance, the obedience, the faith or loyalty, the protection, the power, and the jurisdiction of the English sovereign; and therefore every child born in England of alien parents was a natural-born subject, unless the child of an ambassador or other diplomatic agent of a foreign state, or of an alien enemy in hostile occupation of the place where the child was born. III. The same rule was in force in all the English colonies upon this continent down to the time of the Declaration of Independence, and in the United States afterwards, and continued to prevail under the constitution as originally established.
You guys fixated on this "natural born" garbage are really making the entire conservative movement look foolish. As for Obama, until a birth certificate pops up saying he was born in Mombasa, then the issue is dead. Also, if the Supreme Court won't touch the issue of Obama's birth with a ten-foot pole, then why would Jindal, born in Louisiana, going to merit any more attention. The issue is dead, move on!
