Dear GOP, regarding Birthers

[Dimmauk]

According to Rush, Obama's health care plan is just a guise. He really wants to be able to tell people how to live. That Commie doesnt want people to smoke, eat fast foods, and wants people to work out more.

I was just listening to him during lunch. LOL. Also, Obama hates cops cause he said the Cambridge cops acted stupidly for arresting African-American professor Henry Louis Gates.

Have you seen Rush? Not eat fast food and have to work out? BLASPHEMY!

Really? Is that the best you've got? A bill that requires someone to submit a copy of their birth certificate? Sounds to me like a good plan. Do you see anything wrong with it?

Yes I do. It's unnecessary because IT'S ALREADY BEEN MANDATORY FOR TWO HUNDRED PLUS YEARS.

No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty five years, and been fourteen Years a resident within the United States.

- US Constitution: Article II, Section 1, Paragraph 4

Do you HONESTLY think that the various state Boards of Elections would even ALLOW his name on the ballot had he not ALREADY provided his BIRTH CERTIFICATE?!

[Demosthenes11]

yea guys, fuck our freedoms, he has the best interests at heart so let's ban smoking, fat, sugar, and watching TV for more than 2 hours

Clearly, everyone was in on it. Even McCain and Palin.

Small price to pay for Free health care.

Almost overnight the Glorious Loyalty Oath Crusade was in full flower, and Captain Black was enraptured to discover himself spearheading it. He had really hit on something. All the enlisted men and officers on combat duty had to sign a loyalty oath to get their map cases from the intelligence tent, a second loyalty oath to receive their flak suits and parachutes from the parachute tent, a third loyalty oath for Lieutenant Balkington, the motor vehicle officer, to be allowed to ride from the squadron to the airfield in one of the trucks. Every time they turned around there was another loyalty oath to be signed. They signed a loyalty oath to get their pay from the finance officer, to obtain their PX supplies, to have their hair cut by the Italian barbers. To Captain Black, every officer who supported his Glorious Loyalty Oath Crusade was a competitor, and he planned and plotted twenty-four hours a day to keep one step ahead. He would stand second to none in his devotion to country. When other officers had followed his urging and introduced loyalty oaths of their own, he went them one better by making every son of a bitch who came to his intelligence tent sign two loyalty oaths, then three, then four; then he introduced the pledge of allegiance, and after that "The Star-Spangled Banner," one chorus, two choruses, three choruses, four choruses. Each time Captain Black forged ahead of his competitors, he swung upon them scornfully for their failure to follow his example. Each time they followed his example, he retreated with concern and racked his brain for some new stratagem that would enable him to turn upon them scornfully again.

I don't see how it's worth arguing at this point. He provided more then enough, and the GOP won't be happy with anything less then him saying he was born elsewhere.

please be trolling

[Dimmauk]

please be trolling

I'm not. Are you?

You probably think Fat people and people that smoked their entire lives are handicapped?

Hey.. don't forget McCain was born in the Panama Canal Zone.

Sacrificing freedoms on top of paying for it through tax dollars is more than a "small price".

I hear a lot of "sacrificing freedoms." I don't understand that talking point.

[Gregorio]

He said sacrificing smoking, fat, sugar, and watching TV for more than 2 hours would be a small price for free health care. You don't consider any of the above to be personal freedoms?

[Headspace]

The fact that you took the sarcasm seriously speaks numbers.

edit: Also, if you smoke, you're insurance is more expensive. Impeding on your personal freedom?

[Dimmauk]

Sacrificing the constitution, Habius Corpus, and torturing people was a small price to pay too right? And you are worried about smoking and being a fat ass?

More sarcasm is not the only way to respond to sarcasm. I get it, you were trying to be witty.

Also, you don't have to have insurance...so no, it's not impeding on "you're" freedoms.

[Gregorio]

Sacrificing the constitution, Habius Corpus, and torturing people was a small price to pay too right? And you are worried about smoking and being a fat ass?

Where have I ever said that torturing people, suspending habius corpus, or ignoring the constitution was a small price?

And I'm worried about smoking and being a fatass because those are my rights as a free person. Can't I be worried about more than one issue at a time?

Also, screw you Obama haters. He is a Baseball Jesus. By merely donning a White Sox jacket and shaking a hand, he blessed Mark Beuhrle with pitching only the 18th perfect game in MLB history. MIRACLE PRAISE JESUS
