it's just a joke... but a good one because your concern about that eagle stuff is exactly same as those. You'll be surprised how similar their concerns are to yours if you knew...
 
Hear Again, Banjo and Jiro ...

Now, you all got me confused! :-\

Rudy Limbaugh, Michelle Malkin, Al Franken and all sorts of nutjobs out there. Why do anyone take these pundits seriously? It's mind-boggling and obvious that they aren't wired right in their heads.

:hug: it's ok. i'm just saying that your concern/view/POV is exactly same as those hardcore right-wingers as mentioned above. their accusation/views/opinions are so crazy that it's hilarious. Maybe that's the reason why FOX News is the most watched show in USA. People want to hear what they've got to say cuz it's so fucking hilarious. funnier than SNL parody. :dunno: Maybe they just want a good laugh at home after long shitty day at work.

I'm curious how you came up with that concern. Who/what influenced you to think like that?

All of the things you've said about the U.S. and Obama are exactly what is spouted by no-nothing, "hot air" political "pundits" like O'Reilly.

I suggest you listen to the facts from people like Keith Olberman and Rachel Maddow.

When you compare O'Reilly, Hannity, etc. to Keith Olberman and Rachel Maddow, both Keith and Rachel back up their opinions with facts -- they don't just make up things as they go along.

The symbol of British/or England is " lion ". The United States of America's symbol is " eagle ". The question I would like to ask you: What will happen to our country's symbol IF, Obama is elected ? I know Obama is very socialist person and the symbol of USA can't be presented as an " eagle ", because our nation will change into a " communist " .... that's IF, Obama wins that election. There'll be many removes/or omits of our country's important history for all generations to remember. Like for example: Schools will teach Middle East religion such as Buddha or others as their idols. I don't want any one of you to think that I judge them or anythin' like this. I am just sharin' my thoughts what my view says. Same thing, there's no more of Allegiation to the flag we used to pledge in years ago.

So, do you think the " eagle's wings " will be cut off ( broke off ) from the lion's back in the near future ? Will the America become on its own without any other country's help ?

So much changes nowadays.

IF Obama was a socialist, the country would become a socialist run country. IF he was a communist, it would become a communist run country. Socialist governments and Communist governments are not the same thing at all.

BUT, since Obama is a Democrat, we will have the same Democracy we have always known.

Schools won't teach any religion because they are not permitted to by law. A little thing called separation of church and state.

Maybe we should change the law to allow only native Americans to run for president, if one wanna get hardcore. Everyone else came on the boat or in a turnip truck from elsewhere in the world since day one. :lol:

What defines a true American? Status of their birth?
Honestly, I ain't sure about this. I think the system is fine as it is, since we probably don't even have the resources to check background of every single foreign-born Americans and it could open a whole new can of worms. I dunno... :hmm: Interesting question, Shel!

I would like that. I am a Native American. Cherokee tribe.

Let it stay. Someone else told me that "too much freedom is chaos."

In Mexico, the law was amended before Vicente Fox was elected, because his mother was born in Spain. According to old Mexican law, a candidate must be born in Mexico. Plus a candidate's both parents who must be born in Mexico.

That explains the poster in my doctor's waiting room. It says "Traitor" in Spanish with a picture of Fox.
 
Yeah, Fox did not do anything much to prevent drug wars. He never got along with Mayor of DF (Mexico City), Lopez Obrador. Well, Lopez Obrador was running for a presidential election in 2006, but current Pres. Calderon won.

Too bad, Mexican Pres. Calderon is in trouble now due to the rise of out of control drug wars, massacres, and kidnappings.

I like that Mexican presidents serve only one time (one six-year-term). I am biased to say the US should give it a try. There is no vice president's position in Mexico. Nice, eh?

One 6 year term? Thanks, but no thanks. 4 years is long enough. The past 8 years under George W. Bush is one example of why a 6 year term would be a very bad idea.

What happens if the Mexican President can no longer serve? Who takes over?

Yeah, No wonder! I asked myself how did anyone get the idea. I never watch FOX News at all. I usually watch CNN News and MNBC News. Both news on the TV are "good-enough" reliable resources for me. I subscribe NPR and Reuter News online, they bring straight stories.

Snopes.com and other urban legand onlines are my key resources to confirm whether its a lie or true.

No wonder, anything from FOX News are full of right-wing fanatics. (no hard feeling, I want REAL News and REAL Facts. Not What-ifs.

No wonder!!

Good Job, Jillio. Two kudos for you.

I wonder what do you think about the criteria for being born on American soil for one to run for Presidency?

Should the law be changed or kept as it is. Do you think it is fair or unfair?

Debate! :ty:

Kept as it is... adjourned! :cool2:
 
My personal opinion:

"Born in the USA" itself doesn't qualified to be president but university or college degrees, study of political institutions and also law and economcy degree as well.


I see nothing wrong when anyone take any test to become a citizen of this country if they are motivate to be politician before they are able to qualified to be president.... then go to university or college which mean is take them years to get degree before they are qualified to be politician or Governor... It's up to Congress to test them before accept them in... then.....

:shrug:
