my personal favorite conspiracy debunker - never attribute to conspiracy what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
of course, any sufficiently advanced incompetency is indistinguishable from malice.

That's a nice twist on Arthur C. Clarke's "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." :agree:

This article poses some very good questions.
1. If you were a natural born American citizen and had it within your means to quiet all the lawsuits and questions with proof, would you do it?
2. If you were a natural born American citizen, would you spend thousands of dollars to fight the legal cases against you, or would you simply answer the legitimate question of whether you meet the constitutional requirements for office?
3. If you were a natural born American citizen, would you forge a document called a "Certification of Live Birth" and tell the public it was a real "birth certificate"?

The quality of your conspiracy theory is deteriorating.
Not that there was much quality to start with.

Lux... sorry, I do not accept Snopes as a valid fact finding source. It tends to lean left. Besides there are millions of other minds to look to for information.

By rejecting Snopes, we can also reject the AP article cited in Lux's link.

Since the Mikkelsons lean to the conservative side, that is a stretch to say the site they run leans left. But if it floats your boat to dismiss them so easily, go with it.

Sigh. Let me be the first to say it.
I like kittens.

Yay! I like kittens too!

If a fact doesn't reinforce Swamp's views, it must have come from the left. If it comes from the right, it must be a fact.
Kittens are outstanding! Kittens for everybody!
