Ready when you are lady... ready when you are. I am trained in the style of fail stamping, and you, with your facts are just asking to get dropped by my mighty stamp of fail.
This is what is going to happen though, and you really thought she would succeed... watch out for that pig right there... yeah, the flying one.

Sounds like a citizen to me. McCain has also addressed this particular issue in terms of Obama if I am not mistaken; saying of course (being the level-headed guy that he can be) that it is pretty outlandish.
I do want to meet the people who really, actually think that Obama is not of this planet... I mean country.

Yeah military installations are considered "American Soil", if those bases are American. I think Mark Hamil (Puke Skywalker) was born here in Japan in Yokosuka. I'm not sure, but I know he attended the high school there on base.
Is it just me or does the Birther movement just make the right wing look really bad? I mean, I know the paranoid anti-government population is their bread and butter, but this is really crazy stuff.
Anuvver fing - when they do sumfing, they try to make it look like somfink else to confuse everybody. When one of them wants to lord it over the uvvers, 'e says "I'm very speshul so'z you gotta worship me", or "I know summink wot you lot don't know, so yer better lissen good". Da funny fing is, arf of 'em believe it and da over arf don't, so 'e 'as to hit 'em all anyway or run fer it.

The right wing aren't a monobloc. The Birthers are just a very nutty splinter group. There hasn't been a peep out of any serious Republican member of Congress or governor, etc about Obama's eligibility.

Alan Keyes was a Republican party candidate for the senate and he's all over the birther thing. While not attached to the Republicans directly, it'd take an incredible level of denial to say Rush Limbaugh and Michael Savage aren't both important members of the US conservative movement, and they've both given the issue considerable airtime.
Every time there's a G20 and some idiot kids smash up a Starbucks people chime in to talk about what's wrong with the left wing. They even try to attach 9/11 truthers to the left wing, despite it's members being drawn from all over the wingnut political spectrum, and most having no politics beyond paranoid anti-government (which if anything is closer to the right wing, though not really all that close to either).
Now, while the birther movement isn't represented by a majority of Republicans or rightwingers, it's membership is drawn primarily from self identified conservatives. The movement could have been stopped in its tracks if the leaders of the Republican party, its congressmen, had come out openly and asserted there is no doubt that Obama is a natural born citizen of the United States. But few did, and only when directly asked. Many, when asked, fell back to saying they'd like the questions and similar rubbish.
"I am returning this otherwise good typing paper to you because someone has printed gibberish all over it and put your name at the top."
Indeed.
“We may observe that the government in a civilized country is much more expensive than in a barbarous one; and when we say that one government is more expensive than another, it is the same as if we said that that one country is farther advanced in improvement than another. To say that the government is expensive and the people not oppressed is to say that the people are rich.”

Word. Frankly the media keep this one going.
Strangely enough I had a conversation about Ron Paul with my boy. Explained to him to read up on him and then read up on what his critics say to get a good balanced view. The positive was I didn't go off the deep end this time about Paul being a crazy nutjob from mars. I am learning. This dad thing is hard.
