The occasional open thread: 4000th article edition

It happened that the Open Thread is the 4,000th published article here at Obama Conspiracy Theories. I think it’s appropriate, since commenters are an important element on this community, and have contributed the bulk of its content.

Put your Obama conspiracy comments that don’t relate to the current articles here. This thread will close in two weeks.

    IN ALL Seriousness but Unreported

    Threatened by their own doubts of self-esteem, Anti-Birthers were busy Friday scrambling to make appointments with their Therapist due to the flood of Media poured out on the Birther Movement which they felt threatening.

    Torn between the decisions to couch complaints in Racism, Xenophobia, and a rare form of Zealotry known as MaoNPutn their mouths twisted and foamed in tourette-like-fit displays amplified by their microphones.

    They struggled with hypervenilation citing Trump in a conspiracy to cut off oxygen and threatening to win the hearts and minds of the Delegates of New York which could threaten the progress of the 18 Trillion dollar debt they were confused about with the Lottery.

    Obamacare noticed a 13% Rise in Doctor appointments and a run on anti-axiety medication as phone ☎ companies noticed an overage on callers trying to make claims on their Doctors in the heightened panic attacks most Mainstream Media Reporters suffered.

    Stories spewed out of the Elected Officials respected by Democrats and Rhinos echoing the shattered dreams of Reporters that the Principle of [natural born Citizen] was unsettled in the U.S. Supreme Court while reporters were busy trying to find the brown-bag they’d stashed receipts in of October 2015 U.S. Supreme Court Case 14-9396 they tossed in the trash unreported.

    Nearly 98% of the Main Stream Media Reporters complained of Esotropia while reading Birther Headlines from telepromters once thought to provide the bonus in their bank accounts in a direct deposit from the White House on ISIS Avenue.

    Struggling to get talking points for stories from everyone without standing on the natural born Citizen clause, they worried the same ole witnesses wouldn’t have anything new to say.

    They brought in a big gun of Constitutional Authority Mr. Geraldo Rivera to cite the retraction of the [natural born Citizen] language of the 1790 Naturalization Act, and the implementation of [Citizen] in corresponding 1795 Act while mimicking the deer-in-the-headlights stare as he asked “Why?”to the children like reporters in school admiring their Super-Hero come to visit.

    Protons were seen exiting the ears of the Reporters and the Simulated Large Hadron Collider CMS particle detector reportedly started up spontaneously racheting up the grid-based computer network infrastructure connecting 140 computing centers in 35 countries.

    Red Cruz in desperation to quell the MainStream filibuster of his constitutional eligibility hired Birthers as Captains of Industry to fruitcup their once loyal colleges with promises of Obama-like-Libyan-joy in carpet bombing the deserts of Arabia to light up the sand like the 4th of July.

    Has anybody ever pointed out that Judy appears to be one of the most monumental buffoons in the birther world? I am happy that in my ordinary life I never meet people quite as deluded, unfunny, idiotic and racist as him. I guess the only birthers equally insanely buffoonish as Judy are crazy Nancy Owens and babbling bonkers Chris Strunk.

  6. Notorial Dissent says:

    It has been pointed out to him innumerable times, usually in words of one or two syllables at most so that he wouldn’t get confused, all to no apparent effect. It may have to do with his inability to read and comprehend simple English, but you can only dumb some things down so far.

    What is really sad is that Judy wastes so much time here accomplishing nothing. Which would be his life to waste … except for the part where he claims to be poor and a parent. He pities himself because he can’t afford Christmas presents, but chooses to spend his time, not on worthwhile priorities, but instead here amusing himself and no one else.

    I posted the December 23 Site Statistics and they were pathetic. The big jump started around January 5 which about when Trump went birther. What I don’t get, though, is that Google reports on the “landing page” don’t list any of the Trump articles (except that they would be on the home page which accounts for about 27% of traffic). The second most popular page over the last 30 days is the Debunker’s Guide (22%) and beyond that are pages ranking 1.85% or less, none of which were published since 2013! And, believe it or not (and I tend not to believe it), Google reports the #4 landing page on this site with 152 sessions (at 1.3%) is:

    It is a mystery why a few idiot birthers (Judy, john) continue to post nonsense in a forum whose owner and commenters are wholly unsympathetic to their view, and where their posts are eviscerated ruthlessly (except when their posts are ignored for their repetitious wrongness). Perhaps they see themselves as missionaries to the misinformed? But more probable, I think, is that here they get a civilized (if robust) response whereas they are ignored by their fellow haters.

    How Judy cannot understand the “CASE CLOSED” status of his action is also a mystery. One would expect that someone capable of getting a petition into SCOTUS would have the brains to understand the response, but apparently not. As his absurd plan of having the Senate request (or compel?) the Supreme Court to reopen his dead case demonstrated, his rambling assertions about the Constitution are founded on a failure to understand even its most basic formulas for the governance of the country.

    I will never understand these people. I am thankful that my mind is so unlike theirs.

    I’ve seen several people say that Congress should settle this. I don’t personally trust Congress to settle this (and I’m of the opinion that until some hard opinion is set by a governing authority that Cruz is most likely eligible)…. I think SCOTUS needs to settle this.

  24. bgansel9 says:

    I have a question, just out of curiosity: At the time that Ted Cruz’s father came to the U.S. (on a student visa? That’s what his wiki says, although the birthdate on the Wiki seems to correlate with a Bienvenido Cruz from Miami who died in 2012, born on the same date as the Wiki, and traveled to the U.S. at about the same time – lived in Miami…. Look up Bienvenido Gregorio Cruz Birthdate 22 March, 1939 in Havana, Cuba in Ancestry.com )

    Would a Student Visa (if Raphael actually had one) automatically make him a U.S. National? I’m just trying to determine which section of Title VIII, Section 1401 Ted Cruz’s citizenship falls under.

  25. Dave B. says:

    No, not for nationality purposes. Barring the action of some treaty to that effect, a person who is not a US national cannot become one without becoming at the same time a US citizen. Generally speaking, a person who is a national, but not a citizen of the United States is a person born in American Samoa.

    Judge Graber discusses US non-citizen nationality in Perdomo-Padilla v. Ashcroft:

    http://law.justia.com/cases/federal/appellate-courts/F3/333/964/603099/

    For purposes not directly related to nationality, which seems like an odd notion to begin with, the term has been interpreted to have other meanings.

    Thanks for that. i keep forgetting that the Bower County Court website doesn’t allow direct links to a search results. Although it seemed to work when I tried the link.

    As to her motion – she could have added more recent case law and mention that Voeltz filed the same argument three times in Florida. she only mentioned the first one.

    I also question her statement that six (6) previous Presidents would be ineligible under the two citizen parent rule. I don’t see where she names them and I count Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Adams, Jackson, Arthur, Obama. And possible Wilson.

    But that aside I was impressed with most of her research.

    i was musing today about the Singularity. For those who don’t know what it is, it is the prediction by Ray Kurzweil and others that sometime in the not-too-distant future (aroound 2040) computer algorithms will be smarter than humans. Once that occurs, it would be foolish to entrust critical decisions to a dumb human rather than a smart machine. Any country that did so would be rapidly left in the dust. So, given that, what would constitute a natural born algoriithm-one made by a US company? One written in the US? One written only by US citizens (assuming that programs could be written without Indian H1-Bs)?

    I see that a motion to the 5th Circuit for a re-hearing en banc was denied December 1. If I understand the rules, the Government has 90 days to appeal to the Supreme Court from the date of the Amended judgment, 10/30/2015, or the end of this month.

    Dave B.: Now here’s an interesting case

  44. Dave B. says:

    This could be a mess of trumpily huge proportions. If the remedy is, as the 5th Circuit suggests, to apply the requirement for citizen mothers to citizen fathers, thousands of persons would be affected, and yet another set of anomalies in US citizenship law would be created.

  45. My Google alerts are flooding in with news articles on Cruz eligibility.

  46. bgansel9 says:

    With the “depending on the way the courts have interpreted…” stuff going on here, this is getting confusing.

    If Eleanor Darragh spent her youth in Delaware, and married a Cuban man (Raphael Cruz) and went to Canada to work on seismic indicators, and got pregnant and had a child, would she be required to file an “American Citizen Born Abroad” document, and if so, where is it? Is it missing? Has is been located? Does anyone know?

  47. Notorial Dissent says:

    There was/is NO requirement for it, it is suggested, but not required, and there most likely is none. She was already fully an adult having been born and lived in the US all her life and two or three times married by the time Cruz was born, so the only part of the statute that applied to her was the part about her being a US citizen, which she was. The only critical points here are that she was a US citizen, she was Cruz’ mother, they returned to the US after he was born, and he grew up here, not in Canada and not in Cuba. By the law of the time he was/is a US citizen, and depending on interpretation a NBC, which is now the current argument.

    Shoplifting is a crime most people would recognize as wrong. Taking someone’s property that isn’t yours is not right. As I was at the throne in Walmart brainstorming a political post, my head cocked to the right as I read the sign staring me in the face. “Shoplifting is Stealing. It’s a crime. Even if it’s your first offense, you could be punished with a lengthy prison term and a substantial monetary fine, plus a record that will haunt you for the rest of your life. “What”, I thought, “made the Office of the President any less valuable to the U.S. Supreme Court than anything sold at Walmart?”
