So much for Global Warming

  1. Are you a scientist with legitimate proof of that? Because if some guy like yourself is saying CO2 levels are a symptom, then why on heavens earth should we believe thousands of scientists who disagree? Credibility? Or are you going to post PDFs of some far right funded research? Do you believe in creation or evolution? Answer these honestly.

    I have a hard time accepting that a sub-oceanic volcano in the north Atlantic is melting the glaciers in the Himalayas.

    You're right, it's too simple.

    Oil isn't evenly distributed throughout the earth's crust and the deposits that are there vary in quantity and viscosity.

  5. Obama could have been born in a manger in Times Square and not be natural born. This is because his father was a british subject and Obama was born a british subject.

    You obviously only know what you hear from Tom Brokaw, Chris Matthews etc. I doubt if you have ever had an original thought about anything. If so why don't you share it.

    Here is some info on what a Natural Born citizen is. Deal with it asshole.

    From Obama's own web site:

    'When Barack Obama Jr. was born on Aug. 4,1961, in Honolulu, Kenya was a British colony, still part of the United Kingdom’s dwindling empire. As a Kenyan native, Barack Obama Sr. was a British subject whose citizenship status was governed by The British Nationality Act of 1948. That same act governed the status of Obama Sr.‘s children…' "

    So you don't really care about the article I posted. All you care about is your bullshit agenda, just like all the good little socialists out there. Hitler would have loved you with your simple mind.

  8. Pissy aren't we? I asked if you are a Christian. You say fuck yourself. I say you are maybe a white racist. You call me an asshole. Nice...

    I'm not attorney so it is moot point, but isn't this immaterial because of what this 'credible immigration lawyer' has to say? Are you an immigration lawyer or a scientist? Or neither?

    Now pay strict attention, because I'm only going to explain this once: Is Barack Obama a natural-born citizen of the United States and therefore eligible to become president? The answer is yes, according to Ron Gotcher, a noted California immigration lawyer and The Swamp's resident expert on presidential eligibility.

    "The poster's confusion," Gotcher writes, "is over the concepts of jus sanguinis and jus soli." Under jus sanguinis, a person's citizenship is transmitted "by the blood" - by inheritance from his or her parents or grandparents. In the United States, we recognize citizenship through parentage in a number of cases.

    But it is not necessary to look to the statutes that deal with citizenship through jus sanguinis, since Senator Obama's citizenship derives from jus soli - citizenship through place of birth.

    According to Gotcher, "The Fourteenth Amendment commands that "[a]ll persons born or naturalized in the United States , and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside."

    "This was clarified by the Civil Rights Act of April 9, 1866, which provided that 'All persons born in the United States and not subject to any foreign power are declared to be citizens of the United States.'"

    "Senator Obama was born in the State of Hawaii two years after it became a state on Aug.21, 1959 As such, he acquired United States citizenship automatically at birth. While it is not necessary to go into all of the other legal errors contained in the posting (and there are many), the simple fact is that, with rare exceptions (children of diplomats), everyone born in the United States is a citizen of the United States at birth."

    But what about the age of Obama's mother? Remember jus soli--citizenship through place of birth? (c'mon--there IS going to be a quiz). In that case--which happens to be Obama's case--the age of the parents has nothing to do with anything. Under jus soli even the children of illegal aliens are U.S. citizens at birth--just ask the pregnant women from Mexico near the end of their third trimester who try to sneak across the border in hopes their child will be born in a San Diego hospital and leave with a U.S. birth certificate clutched in his or her tiny hand.

    Except for the children of diplomats, every child born in the U.S. is a natural-born U.S. citizen, period. The parents could be citizens themselves, could be from France, could be Coneheads. Nothing else matters. Only if the child is born OUTSIDE the United States to one citizen-parent does the issue of the parents' age, citizenship, or whatever, come into play.

    "All that matters is that the child is born here, " Gotcher says. "This is the reason that you are hearing so much fuss in Congress about changing the law that grants 'birthright citizenship.'" But even such a law, however unlikely to pass, would not be retroactive. If Barack Obama wins the presidential election he can begin choosing the furniture for the Oval Office without watching for immigration agents over his shoulder.

    (Hmmm.. Isn't that McCain's dilemma actually?)

  9. McCain wasn't born on American soil, then he should have been disqualified too. Do you even read the links that you post.
