Found from an old newspaper clipping from 1949, a bit of democratic philosophy.

    I gather that he'd made a socialistic speech and this prompted the printing of the poem..

    Probably longer than that. They've been close to socialism since the 1890's.

    Well, isn't that typical?!

    A Right Winger has come up with a phony document once again.

    I'll bet you are a Birther too, aren't you Sunshine?

    Thanks for sharing.

    Well Lee.. I am glad you enjoyed it.. No.. I do think that...I think Obama was born in the US.. in Hawaii someplace maybe.. but he's not a natural born citizen as his father was not American.. therefore he's ineligible.. and I am an ex-democrat and an Independent.

    Parents of 6 other US Presidents were also born outside the United States.

    And even though Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson were both considered dangerous Liberals by their political opposition, neither was criticized for having parents born outside the US.

    Back then, Conservatives were real conservatives and NOT the wacko nut jobs they are today.

    sorry but there was a dispensation made only for the original presidents who of course came from other countries at that time.. else they would have to have been our indigenous peoples who were the only ones who would have qualified. Since then however, the rule of natural born has been followed until it came to the present usurper in the oval office who has yet still not produced a legally certified document copy of his original birth certificate showing he was eligible.. that being beside the point as his father was not an American and that alone disqualifies him as natural born.

    No dear, most of the "original President's" parents were born right here in America.

    The parents of George Washington, for example, were born right here on this continent.


    Parents of six presidents were not born in this nation or on this continent.

    Only one founding father, Jefferson, falls into this category.

    Herbert Hoover, who was President 150 years after the birth of this country was also one of these presidents.

    Your "natural born" rule is pure hog wash.

    Uh huh . . . That phony "ode" was most likely written last week . . .not in 1949.

    Tell me, why do Right Wingers tend to present so many fake documents as "proof" of their positions.

    Why do ultra-wrong Right Wingers lie so much?

    Does anybody know?

    I do.

    Right Wingers have to lie because true facts rarely support them.

    Right?

    you wouldn't be calling me a liar would you?? I am not ultra anything but Independent.. and this is from the Daily News which was started long ago in Manhattan.. you can search it out yourself on internet if you don't believe me.. Good luck with all your lies.. why is it that liberal progressives expect anyone to believe them when they spew things like you just did.. calling me a liar when it is in fact you that lies??? typical..

    What's the matter Sunshine.

    If I said something with which you disagree, please be a little more specific.

    Do you have any proof at all to suggest that what you say is true . . or are we to just assume the bogus document you provided is genuine?
