Re: more on the birther qustion from other thread
I think I would argue that either the Constitutional provision should be read absolutely literally to mean you have to be actually born on American soil ...
But that would not be reading it literally, because that is not what it literally says.
This latest information from Occidental College is pretty damning it seems to me. Indonesian foreign student applied for aid as a foreign student, faith listed as Muslim.
Good point, apart from the fact that it's complete bollocks.

Even a claim of hoax can be a hoax. "Fake news" was first used by Communist China against dissenters, which is pretty much how it's being used now in America too.
Ah, so anyone who points out that you're spreading dumb lies is like the Communist Chinese.
Apart from being right of course.
It takes more than just saying so to prove it, as you all keep telling me.
Well, how about this: the bullshit debunked by snopes has no evidence for it. In particular, you can't find where Occidental College released any such information.
In any case I think there's quite enough genuine evidence against Obama to prove he was born in Kenya.
Then by all means supply it instead of posting the dishonest trash invented to "prove" that point.
I have to answer personal accusations again just for the record. I don't HATE Obama, what I hate is Marxism, Anti-Americanism, and other destructive totalitarian ideologies, and Obama happens to be both a Marxist and a Muslim ...
And you know this because?
(a) You can read minds.
(b) The voices in your head whispered it to you.
(c) Other (please specify).
Like the last item on Alinsky's Rules for Radicals: don't attack institutions, attack people, because people hurt, institutions don't. Which is a reversal of centuries of civilized rules of discourse ...
And yet shockingly I have known people to so flout the rules of civilized discourse as to attack Obama, who is a person and not an institution. You should have a word with those pesky miscreants.

You guys really know nothing at all about Islam, or if you do you just automatically discount it for some reason. Muslims are allowed to act like the "infidel" when it would be dangerous to the cause of Allah to expose their Muslim identity. They are allowed to lie to the "infidel." This is all in their "holy" writings.
OK, but shouldn't there be some point at which they stop acting like the infidel and go all Allahu Akbar on our asses? Otherwise what's the point? Now here we have Obama, allegedly a Secret Muslim, who's spent eight years acting like an infidel while being the most powerful man in the world. So when's he going to turn Muslim on us, and in what way? Perhaps ... oh noes! ... perhaps when he's retired and sitting on a beach in Hawaii, he's going to sip an alcohol free pina colada? And thus his long-nurtured plan will reach its fiendish culmination.

I don't suppose it would occur to you that the economy can be manipulated politically, eh?
So your point is ... that sure, maybe the economy got better under Obama ... but that's only because Obama and his allies made it get better?
The fiends! The cunning, cunning fiends!

Unfortunately I just get the most superficial understanding ...
But that's never dissuaded you from holding forth with absolute iron-clad certainty on any other subject, and by god, it's not going to stop you doing so about this one.
But there's lots of talk out there about the manipulation of interest rates to create an illusion favorable to Obama, expecting to see another manipulation to try to discredit Trump.
I'm not hearing a lot of talk about that. Perhaps your method of gauging what people are talking about is oversampling paranoid lunatics?
Businesses were driven away because they couldn't thrive under him.
U.S. corporations earn record high profits, pay record low taxes.
Unemployment has been huge under Obama, the man in the street can tell you that no matter what the manipulated statistics tell you.
Ooh, a conspiracy theory! Tell me more!
That's why the man in the street voted for Trump.
The man in the street voted for Clinton, remember?

I simply gave you my understanding of what I've been hearing and it may be wrong in various ways but the general gist is the main thing, and the general gist of it is that the economy has taken a dive under Obama.
That's not just wrong in "various ways", it's wrong in every conceivable way.
And if nothing else I would think the way Wall Street has rallied with the promise of Trump's Presidency ought to be evidence of that.
Or it's evidence thatt Obama's still President ...

If Trump is the con man you claim he's incredibly good at deception.
Not really, most people can see through him. If you can't, that's because you're exceptionally good at being deceived.

Re: more on the birther qustion from other thread
What about the publisher of his book, or his agent or whoever she was ...
Don't you think you've been sufficiently mocked for this already?
And the mailman's testimony? Was that a hoax too?
A bunch of vague bullshit without a shred of substantiating evidence ... yeah, I'm sold.
Just the fact that he was identified as foreign is enough ...
Because not only is Obama a foreigner, but all foreigners are Obama.

Re: The mailman's memory fits all the known facts
It fits none of the known facts, since Obama is not foreign, was not a student in Chicago, and does not have magical powers of precognition, THAT BIT DIDN'T MAKE YOU A TINY BIT SUSPICIOUS?

Re: memory is terrible, the documents are fake, the quotes have been mined
I believe the literary agent or whatever she was and Obama's grandmother were intimidated into denying the truth they'd already told.
With regards to the lie about Obama's grandmother, see here
And the literary agent ... tell us, Faith, if she was telling the truth, how could she have possibly found it out? Did she have psychic powers too?

Re: The mailman's memory fits all the known facts
Obama was obviously told by Ayers or others in his Communist circles that they were going to engineer his becoming President. You know, a conspiracy, probably planned out in some detail, and financed by somebody like Soros.
You can sill make me laugh out loud. Your use of the word "obviously" ... wow, comedic genius.
So, tell me more about this conspiracy. Apparently they'd already planned it out, "in some detail", but one of the details they forgot was to not go around telling every random stranger that Obama was ineligible to become President.

Re: Literary agent's "mistake"
How could she have made it up? She had to have had some source, it couldn't have been a mistake.
Why not? People make mistakes. For example, in the thread where you first raised this nonsense, you said that Goderich was "Obama's literary agent" and that the pamphlet in question was "A HARVARD PUBLICATION" based on "HARVARD OFFICIAL DOCUMENTS". Did you have to have a source? Did the source have to be accurate?
What the source was I don't know ...
Well, can you think of any explanation that isn't supernatural? (I know thinking of non-magical explanations for hings is not your field of expertise, but give it a go.)
It WOULD imply she dreamed it up, which would be an impossibly precise dream, akin to psychic power as you suggest.
This appears to be gibberish, would you like to have another run at it?
