Ahhhh, finally, the Presidential Time Machine Gambit! It's about time somebody brought up the obvious answer. Fey, you are a genius and I'm not saying that lightly.....I've got an IQ of 134.7.

You sure seem to be fascinated by us degenerates...so fascinated you just can't stay away, even after you run to your room and slam the door.
Foreveryoung, are you having...impure thoughts?
I just wondered because that might explain why you run about hooting like a chimp and smearing your own feces all over the walls. What kind of mother a kid would have to have to act like that I just don't know.
I wasn't going to say anything because I thought you were perhaps a troubled soul. Now I think you're just a fuckwit.
NB: If you click on my name (that's the shiny cyan...ah, blue... thing in the upper left corner of my post, Master 136), you can get a list of all my posts. Then you can run and hoot and smear most efficiently, jeering them all.
Be sure to wash your hands. Make your mother proud.

Re: Freedom of choice?
Normal people looked at your evidence as possible, and found it sorely lacking. FEY, it wasn't brushed off. 'Suggestions' shouldn't make one jump off the deep end as you appear to be doing. Even hypnotized people don't do anything against their best interests.
Step back from the ledge, unless this is fun for you.

Re: Freedom of choice?
Normal people do not brush off such suggestions as nonsense when there is plenty of evidence to suggest such things were indeed possible.
And that folks shows that any rational discussion with this guy is impossible.
If you thought he had any shred of credibility this should disabuse you of that idea.
Of course as we all know, there is no evidence. None. Not a shred.

No you haven't. Unless the word reasonable means something different to you than it does to the rest of us.

If his birth certificate was altered, what was altered? From what to what? And the birth announcement. Again, what was altered? From what to what?
I'm not sure this means anything. This has nothing to do with his qualifications for President as far as I can see.

Re: Freedom of choice?
I have heard reasonable arguments
Okay. Let's hear a reasonable argument that his birth announcement was tampered with in 2008 or at any other time in the 21st century.
This should be a great test of your sense of what is reasonable.

Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also in prison. Thoreau: Civil Disobedience (1846)
The apathy of the people is enough to make every statue leap from its pedestal and hasten the resurrection of the dead. William Lloyd Garrison.
If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and deprecate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground, they want rain without thunder and lightning. Frederick Douglass

Re: Freedom of choice?
I have an iq of 136 and I do not think such claims are ridiculous. I am just not brainwashed like you and your fellow travelers are. You haven't proven the birther claims are false. You only imagine them to be proven in your elitist snobby liberal mind.
Then apparently it's your reasoning ability that's the problem, FEY.
Because you entirely ignored the bit of my post where I said that EVEN IF THE BIRTHER CLAIMS WERE 100% CORRECT, it would not matter, because his mother was a US citizen, and every child born to a US citizen counts as a natural-born US citizen.
There would never have been a need to fake Obama's birth certificate. He could have had a Kenyan birth certificate and still be eligible for the Presidency, because his mother was a US citizen. That makes him a natural-born American, regardless of his place of birth.
Crashfrog even mentioned the specific law (and how, amusingly, John McCain may have actually not qualified for the Presidency as he was born outside the US before that law was enacted).

The human understanding when it has once adopted an opinion (either as being the received opinion or as being agreeable to itself) draws all things else to support and agree with it.
- Francis Bacon
"There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs." - John Rogers
A world that can be explained even with bad reasons is a familiar world. But, on the other hand, in a universe suddenly divested of illusions and lights, man feels an alien, a stranger. His exile is without remedy since he is deprived of the memory of a lost home or the hope of a promised land. This divorce between man and his life, the actor and his setting, is properly the feeling of absurdity. — Albert Camus
"...the pious hope that by combining numerous little turds of
variously tainted data, one can obtain a valuable result; but in fact, the
outcome is merely a larger than average pile of shit." Barash, David 1995.
