High Noon: Zealot Challenges Roberts

When Roberts finished his prepared speech and opened the floor to questions at the University of Idaho this month, the first person to the microphone was a woman who said she’d traveled since 3 a.m. that morning to get from California to Moscow, so she begged for a little indulgence on the moderator’s rule that questioners be from the sponsoring College of Law so she could ask a question. About “illegal activity in the Supreme Court.” About her case being “erased from the docket” under circumstances that sounded, to say the least, suspicious. About the president, whom she called Barack Hussein Obama aka Barry Soetero, not legally being president because he was “a foreign national at birth”/Jim Camden, SR. More here.

Question: Where were you born, and do you still have your birth certificate to prove it?

    Moberly, Missouri and, yep, I have the certificate to prove it.

    I was born in North Richland Hills, TX, and I do not have my birth certificate. I suppose I could never be president.

    ;-)

    People who are STILL questioning Obama’s birth certificate are certifiably insane, in my opinionated opinion.

    Bad K (shortened) in Germany, or what used to be West Germany. Army brat :)

    Yup.

    Parents address listed as “Tumbleweek Trailer Court, Gillette, Wyoming.”

    Guess that makes me, um, er, well, the kind of woman that many jokes are made about. Even if I haven’t lived in a trailer since I was three.

    Tumbleweed. Tumbleweed.

    Toadman:

    Don’t feel badly. I was born in Coeur d’Alene and that is probably enough to keep me from being president.

    I’d love to go to Hawaii someday. Travel to foreign countries always seems so exotic. :)

    This just in, people who think Obama was elected illegally are the same people that wear tin foil to ward off aliens. Get a life!

    I was born in Moscow, Idaho and lived in Lewiston until I was six and we moved to Spokane. So - I’m Idaho born! There are some saving graces.

    My sons were both born on military bases - one in Peru, Indiana and one in Val d’Or, Quebec. Now HIS is an interesting story. He supposedly has dual citizenship but is considered American born because we were in the Air Force. Quebec didn’t have birth certificates when my second was born. They had baptism papers. Very official looking documents with a seal and ribbon on wax deal. No birth certificate. I used the baptism papers to get his social security number.

    Born in CDA and I’d have to pay a fee to send for a copy.

    I thought all women are from Venus. That’s what my birth certificate says too. Mom probably forged it.

    Born here Moscow ID, finally got a copy of my birth certificate a few years ago when I was doing the immigration thing to get hubby into the country. Until then all I had was the certificate Gritman gave us.

  • northidahonative on March 24 at 9:35 a.m.

    I was born in St. Maries, ID at the old brown wooden hospital on CDA Indian Reservation land, am I an American or a Native American. I have three different copies of my Birth Certificate obtained over the years from the State, all 3 Certificates are different forms. The original that was given to my mother that says Certificate of Birth was not a valid document according to the State Department back in 1965 when I applied for a Passport, I had to get a certified State Birth Certificate to prove where I was born. How many of you have a Certificate issued by the hospital, city, or county where you were born instead of one issued by the State?

    Marriage licenses are another questionable Certificate, the license issued by the Kootenai County Court House is not acceptable as proof of marriage by the Social Security Administration, unless you take the license back to the Court House and pay to have it certified.

    If the State where you were born Certifies your birth Certificate or your Marriage license it should be legal proof seeing as the Federal government issues neither certificate, but then if you’re black and born in Hawaii Rush Limbaugh would have to Certify the documents before they were accepted by the Limbaugh Lambs
