Moderating or censoring?

Well okay...let's give it a shot and see if I can get banned before I quit.

For Days....

Wikipedia?


Wow...so we've come to the point where anonymous Internet volunteers write and make changes to Wikipedia and that's the final word. Somehow that's superior? That's all folks! Check your brains at the door you won't need 'em in here...which begs the question, Why the hell do we need a Supreme Court when we've got bloggers? Is that what you're saying Days?

So some blogger writes in Wikipedia that, "The Congressional Research Service has stated that the weight of scholarly legal and historical opinion..."

Not satisfied with canonizing the Congressional Research Office, then he/she proceeds to slough off the Supreme Court and clog minds with, "The natural-born-citizen clause has been mentioned in passing in several decisions of the United States Supreme Court and lower courts dealing with the question of eligibility for citizenship by birth, but the Supreme Court has never directly addressed the question of a specific presidential or vice-presidential candidate's eligibility as a natural-born citizen."


In passing?

Minor vs Happersett, USSC

The Constitution does not in words say who shall be natural-born citizens. Resort must be had elsewhere to ascertain that. At common law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all children born in a country [AND] of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners.

How's that for in passing?

Let's do some word pairs Days. Sterile-sterilized, crystal-crystalized, sanitary-sanitized, homogenous-homogenized, victim-victimized, immune-immunized, deputy-deputized, organization-organized and on and on. In each pair there is state of being and a process for getting to it.

In the Constitution there's natural and naturalized. Article 2, Section 1 specifies "natural born", all others are naturalized. Laws and statutes provide the process by which one is naturalized.

The judge in Georgia judge seems to understand that. The Supreme Court understood it too and made it very clear in Minor vs Happersett.

Boca, now when Mitt becomes the GOP Nominee....we're going to see a lot of posts from you on how he's not qualified, right? Since George Romney was born in Mexico?

Right????

 

[Boca]

George Romney was born to American citizen parents (plural). Mitt Romney was also.

But thanks for not flushing my post Mr. Moderator.

Okay...that does it. I quit. Enjoy the sewer.

Yep, a common practice for this particular individual.. and of course it came from Birther Central: WorldNetDaily

*Always know i can find Cid's sources either at Birfer site WorldNetDaily or racist site AmericanRenaissance (AmRen)

George Romney was born in Mexico, Boca.

 

[lupehernandezdepedajack]

Oh yeah ....Well my great great great Grandpa on one side was born in Wales and my great great grandpa on the other side was born in Mexico. Makes me a Welchican-American I guess

 

[Bo-4]

George Romney was born in Mexico, Boca.

Honestly, i don't know where these folks find there facts.

Oh wait, never mind.. actually i do. ;-)

 

[GordonGecko]

By Boca's "reading of the Constitution"....Mitt Romney is not eligible to be President because his father was born in Mexico.

Unless of course there's some "double" standard for white Republicans. But that's just crazy talk.

Okay...that does it. I quit. Enjoy the sewer.

Boca, I have to admit, that I have been guilty of the same thing. All I can do is change the manner in which I post such, and simply note the source of my material, and make a comment on it.

Not all that difficult.

Think of it like writing a paper...you are always suppossed to note your source material. Now, with the internet and blogosphere, we have grown increasingly accustomed to not doing that.

The REASONING behind this, is both to recognize that the source material comes from someone else's work, and, in order to put things into persepective for those reading and replying to the post.

I would wager, that if I really wanted to, I could 'lift' some passages out of the Communist Manifesto, and present them in such a manner, as to have many of my fellow Conservatives AGREE with it...as long as I did not name the source. (Bascially, I would be "spinning" the works of Karl Marx, without mentioning my actual source material)

I don't think that is the case that would rule out the Irish prez we currently have O'Bama and Rubio also

ROFLMAO!!!

I think I am "Scots-Welchick...."with some Germanokee thrown in.....

 

[Boca]

I appreciate that Doc and I understand it...but look at Cicero's title...."copyright violation".

Is it not STILL a copyright violation for being there?

It wasn't taken down...the discussion was CLOSED.

 

[Greenridgeman]

That being copyright.

 

[GordonGecko]

I don't think that is the case that would rule out the Irish prez we currently have O'Bama and Rubio also

By Boca's (and World Nut Daily's) "reading" of the Constitution, Marco Rubio would not be eligible for President...ergo not eligible for VICE-President.

But would Boca and World Nut go after Rubio if chosen for Veep?.....somehow, I think not.

Guess WHY not?

 

[Cotton2226]

Okay...that does it. I quit. Enjoy the sewer.

that would piss me off too!

 

[Cotton2226]

if we get that high tech.... i'll be gone too Boca! just come here for fun... that takes it away! I'm no writer. Just guy looking for something to do before i go to the golf course.

 

[Greenridgeman]

I am in dire need of a greenhouse, a goal for 2013, if the Mayans and Nostradamus let us get there!!!!!
