Say what you will about the birthers, but dont call them partisan.
The people who brought you the Barack Obama birth-certificate hullabaloo now have a new target: Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, a man often speculated to be the next Republican vice presidential nominee. While theyre at it, they also have Bobby Jindal, the Republican governor of Louisiana and perhaps a future presidential candidate, in their sights.
The good news for the birthers is that this suggests they were going after Obama, whose father was a Kenyan national, not because of the presidents political party. The bad news is that this supports the suspicion that they were going after Obama because of his race.

It looks like the obots are trying to spread misinformation on the meaning of “natural born” again. It’s simple, the parents just have to be born here (native-born), naturalized parents are NOT acceptable. That’s because naturalized parents would have dual-citizenship which every country allows passing on to the child, creating dual allegiances in the presidency.
To summarize:
Natural born = native born parents
Native born = citizen parents
Citizen = born here or naturalized
Watch out for those trying to dilute the Constituion by claiming the parents don’t have to be born here.
Really, which SCOTUS law? Which Congressional passed and President signed statutory law?
“Birthers” are not liberals, they are constitutionalists unlike the legal wannabe’s like you infiltrating conservative websites and spewing your tripe.
This will all be adjudicated once the Fraud-in-Chief places his name on the various state ballots for 2012. Many CONSTITUTIONALISTS are ready and waiting to file challenges to Obama/Bounel/Soetoro/Dunham/Little...
Coincidence...NOT! Keep on trollin you conservative you!!!

Just heard Bill O on the radio this morning in Boston on TALK1200. He said Rubio is on the factor tonight and that the “interview” was really fascinating. Bill said they talked about him becoming a VP nominee. Of course I doubt Marko told Bill he is ineligible. Apparently the interview has been taped already.
While the founders wanted to avoid having a parent with loyalty to another sovereign, when a person naturalizes up until very recently they were required to renounce loyalty to any other sovereign. That other sovereign might attempt to enforce that loyalty after their citizen naturalizes as a US citizen, but the US does not recognize such a claim. The former sovereign can enforce its claim only within its border or with cooperating third countries.
IIRC, the War of 1812 was fought over attempts by the UK to “impress” US sailors into the UK Navy based on claims that they were still subjects despite their status as US citizens under the constitution.
IIRC with the Elg case SCOTUS interpreted born or naturalized citizen parents and birth on US soil as being the definition of natural born citizen and law of the land. Elg had two naturalized parents and was born on US soil and was ruled to be NBC.

I am praying that the RNC does not put forth an ineligible candidate! But they did with McCain and they will ignorantly do it again.
