  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Not all Jews trace through the Mother. The old school Jews don't. I said earlier, that is an interesting custom, and I can't find anything in the Bible to support it.

Really? got a link to the ones who don't? We provided a link to the ones that do.

So I guess the important word in the above would be: "No" because everything after it is just your opinion then.

The Karaite Jews follow a line of Patrilineal descent, meaning a Jew is someone whose Father is Jewish, since all Jewish descent in the Tanakh is traced patrilineally. You can check this out on wikipedia.

I wouldn't doubt if non-natural born Presidents have slipped through the cracks before. I don't know anything about Andrew Jackson's parents, although if they were immigrants they must have became American citizens. Obama's Dad chose not to become an American citizen.

I know some people are worried that this issue would throw the USA into a constitutional crisis, but because we have had non-natural born Presidents in the past, it shouldn't be that severe a problem. Obama should be prevented from running for re-election, however. Its like the old saying: Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

I'm not worried because it's strictly a non-issue to everyone except a rapidly shrinking group of Americans.

We'll see where this leads. This supposedly rapidy shrinking group of Americans have got the truth on their side.

I know where it leads: a few years from now on some televised trivia game show there's going to be a question like "What's a "Birther"" and most wont know and the rest wont be able to stop laughing.

Like I said earlier, I wouldn't be surprised if non-natural born Presidents have slipped through the cracks.

When you are born, you naturally belong with your Father, living in your Father's country. Naturally speaking, a Wife belongs with her Husband, living in her Husband's country. Children must be natural born citizens of their Father's country, because the nuclear family is not possible if that is not true.

uhmmm...you haven't demonstrated there needed to be a crack to slip through. So far the only one who believes this is viable is, well there's maybe you, but that's it.


When you are born, you naturally belong with your Father, living in your Father's country.
The man who is married to your mother isn't necessarily your father. Which is why descent is more accurately determined through your mother.

Naturally speaking, a Wife belongs with her Husband, living in her Husband's country.
None of which has anything to do with who's your father.

Children must be natural born citizens of their Father's country, because the nuclear family is not possible if that is not true.
You haven't shown that's true, what you've shown is that's your opinion. That and some money will buy you a coffee, and what ever opinion you hold doesn't really matter.
tulc(is still waiting for you to establish that your opinion is based on anything except wishful thinking)

Barrack Obama is the 7th president to have one or more parents born outside the country - so why has it taken 235 years and 46 presidents before the issue of "natural born" presidents suddenly became a problem?

The real question is what is there about Barrack Obama that would separate him from these 6 presidents!
