This has gotten me to thinking, didn't I hear about one of the founding
fathers and presidents being born in the West Indies? Off to the google
machine and there he is, Alexander Hamilton. Surely the ink had dried
on the constitution by the time he became president, so what's the story
with that? I shall leave it to this institution's constitutional
scholar and internet investigator to come up with that.
I don't know if we've always had birth certificates, and back in the day
churches and courthouses would burn down and there wasn't always a
record. It seems kind of foolish to expect a guy to show up with one.
As I recall Obama showed one, but then the birthers wanted a longer
form, and then when that was presented they found something odd in the
typeface that they claimed was proof that it was a forgery. And then
there was the birth notice in the Hawaiian newspaper. Had the plot
begun with some kind of skullduggery in 1961 that would lead to Barak
Hussein Obama becoming president in 2008?
That's why they are called conspiracy theories, because they fly so
clearly in the face of common sense. Like the one about Trump being
some kind of Hillary plot, which I believe you have espoused in our
correspondence before, and that I have heard espoused by others from
time to time. Isn't it much more likely that Trump, with his towering
ego, wants to be president because he is the smartest guy in the
universe, than to believe that somehow he is being paid off (a rich guy
like him) or brainwashed or blackmailed or voodooed or something to
clear the way for Hillary? What opposite group is pulling the strings
behind Bernie? And who paid off your man Rand to be such an inept
campaigner and bring defeat to libertarianism which, if the American
people could see clearly, they would adopt in a heartbeat because it is
such a groovy system?
While you are researching Alexander Hamilton, maybe you could come up
with something about the age of 35. Why not 30, why not 40? Actually
I seem to recall, back when I was dodging the draft, that that was the
age when the selective service lost interest in you, so maybe there is
some precedence in old Anglo Saxon law or something.
Both Rubio and Cruz are of Cuban ancestry. Rubio is second generation
and can speak Spanish. Cruz is third generation and knows maybe a few
phrases like we learned in Mr Chadwick's class. His daddy is a fire and
brimstone preacher and that's where he gets his peculiar speaking
style.
I think your example of me being the only white guy in my building is a
bit extreme, but I suppose if they didn't call me Whitey everytime they
ran into me and my neighbors didn't blast that awful rap music to all
hours of the night, it would be okay. Look at you, you have like less
than one percent Hispanics in the town you don't even live in, and
probably haven't laid eyes on a Hispanic since you were a pup, and you
are upset about them moving anywhere in the USA because sometime you
might tune in your tv and see them making spectacles of themselves and
that would upset your stomach like somebody had snuck a habanero pepper
into your bland gringo chili.
The context in which I was referring to the Hispanics is that the only
reason they are perceived as a voting block to be reckoned with is
because they vote in a block, and the only reason they vote in a block
is because the republicans keep bad mouthing them. If the republicans
didn't do that many of them, inspired by republican family values would
be solid republicans.
Didn't you know that Scalia was a hero to all you second amendment
types? Not that you particularly believe in the second amendment (I
think you said you didn't) but anything that keeps Old Betsy in your
sweaty hands is jake with you.
If you haven't tossed your tv out the window for spoiling your meal of
taco shells and eggplant(?) perhaps you saw Dubya returning from
obscurity to stump for his brother. Apparently Dubya is popular in the
deep south state of south Carolina, but has it ever occurred to the
smart Bush brother that the sane part of the country, where most of the
votes are, hates Dubya, and surely these clips would find their way into
anti Bush ads should he emerge from the clown car still standing?
