Laying rest some of the ridiculous things addressed to me in the past week by people who consider personal attacks valid “debate.”

1.

I listen to your show to get my heart rate up. Health care isn’t a right? It should be and so should transportation and I’m shocked that you called the government’s energy saver program “cash for clunker appliances.” I absolutely believe that the government should regulate our energy use because our planet is dying! But of course you don’t give a [redacted] because you hate the earth, people, everything you baby eating [redacted].

I have been accused of many a thing in my life, but never a baby-eating. This one’s going on the wall.

2. You linked to this story about the Obama supporter who died to breast cancer! YOU ARE ATTACKING HER OMGWTFBBQ!

Look how badly I’m attacking her in that Tweet!

Acknowledging that this administration is using a woman’s death to push a bill that the majority of Americans don’t want isn’t attacking. Using a woman’s death to attack me is attacking. Irony? Yes.

You call yourself a conservative? You can’t be a conservative and dismiss how Barack Hussein Obama has no birth certificate. All of our problems would go away if people like you and others on the radio and the internet would go after this story instead of denying the fact.

Facepalm. A certificate of live birth in this country can get you many things: voting privileges, a driver’s license, a mortgage, et al. Some presidents haven’t even produced any birth records. As written previously by Erick:

As early at 1350, the British Parliament approved statutes recognizing the rule of jus sanguinis, under which citizens may pass their citizenship by descent to their children at birth, regardless of place. Similarly, in the its first naturalization statute, Congress declared that ‘the children of citizens of the United States, that may be born beyond the sea, or out of the limits of the United States, shall be considered as natural born citizens.’ 1 Stat. 104 (1790) . . . . Notwithstanding the Supreme Court’s discussion in Wong Kim Ark (1898), a majority of commentators today argue that the Presidential Eligibility Clause incorporates both the common-law and English statutory principles, and that therefore, Michigan Governor George Romney, who was born to American parents outside of the United States, was eligible to seek the Presidency in 1968.

Meese, Edward, Heritage Guide to the Constitution, p. 190 (2005).

Even were the American public to fall under the belief that Barack Obama was born in a foreign country and 49 years ago his associates fabricated a narrative, a birth record, and placed birth announcements in both the Honolulu Advertiser and the Star Bulletin on August 4, 1961, to ensure that 49 years later he could become President of the United States, it is undisputed that Barack Obama’s mother is and has always been an American citizen. Therefore Barack Obama is and has always been an American citizen.

While I may not agree with those who hold those views I do understand that they are acting out of concern and would like to also remind folks that extreme beliefs were abound during the Bush presidency. However, I like smart strategy and playing the above card isn’t one. That’s also my final thought on the issue.
