• Obama’s College Classmate: ‘The Obama Scandal Is at Columbia’

  August 7, 2012 at 7:18am

  In reply to poetopoet.

  Parents cannot renounce their child’s citizenship. A child can do so on his own behalf – but particularly in the case of Obama, who lived in Indonesia only from the time he was 6 until he was 9, it’s highly unlikely they’d be able to convince a consular or diplomatic officer they understood what they were doing.

• Obama’s College Classmate: ‘The Obama Scandal Is at Columbia’

  This bit: “But did his mother ever change him back to a U.S. citizen? When he returned to live with his grandparents in Hawaii or as he neared college-age preparing to apply to schools, did he ever change his citizenship back? ”

  Did his mother ever…”change him back” to a US citizen? I have difficulty believing a graduate of an excellent school like Columbia wrote this. Mr Root clearly has no understanding of the fact that parents cannot renounce their childrens’ citizenship on their behalf.

  As for the rest of this little screed, I’ll just respond in kind: I’ve heard Wayne Allyn Root is a child-molesting wife-beater. If it isn’t true, surely he can prove it. Just make your records public, Mr Root…

• Will Serena Williams’ Celebratory ‘Crip Walk’ Hurt Her Image?

  In reply to southern_charm.

  If all it took for you to lose your respect for Serena Williams was 3 seconds of an innocuous dance step, then I’d wager your “respect” for her wasn’t terribly deep to begin with.

  Like many things, the Crip Walk took on a life of its own divorced from the original meaning and intent. IT’S…JUST…A….DANCE STEP.

  Gumbercules, the Crip Walk is a dance that’s been popular for a number of years with people far outside of the South-Central-LA gang scene.

• ‘God Is an Imaginary Friend’: Atheist Billboard Ignites Controversy in Colorado

  In reply to JohnGalt007.

  If only that bore any relationship to reality, it’d be a good comment.

  For a belief to be a religion, it has to include faith. Atheism has no faith in anything that cannot be proven. The existence of God and particularly things like the Resurrection and the afterlife are not proven, and have no empirical evidence to support them. Thus, faith comes into play. You have FAITH that God exists, that Christ is the Lord and Savior, and if you follow Him you’ll go to heaven when you die.

  Atheists say “Eh…no proof. Sorry, I can’t accept that.” That’s it. Geez, I’m not even an atheist and I know this.

  Some atheists are jerks about their atheism, but a lot of them come by it honestly – they feel persecuted and hounded by the constant barrage of religion they get in every day life, particularly in politics. You know, like the way Christians claim they are persecuted and hounded for their beliefs (We make up 80% of the country, and you can’t hardly get elected to office if you’re not a Christian, but we’re persecuted. Gotcha.)

  In reply to WashingtonIsMyHero.

  So you think there’s no value in trying to teach kids to be decent to each other?

  Yes, stand up for yourself, unless you’re gay. Then you’re trying to Destroy America (TM).
