It's maybe an issue to discuss here, maybe not in General Politics. But I don't think it should ever come up when rallying, on signs, etc...There are a million other more pressing issues concerning liberty.

I understand that it's an issue of Constitutionality, but it's the least important violation of the Constitution I can think of in terms of detriment to liberty.

I don't know maybe Obama was born overseas, but the presumption a lot of so-called "Birthers" have is that a Kenyan-born President is inherently more an enemy of liberty than a natively born one. We've had plenty of US-born Presidents who were/are very effective enemies of liberty.

Agreed. We should focus on Ron Pauls ideas and perspectives as HE is the POTENTIAL CANDIDATE not US. You can believe what you want, but stick to what ron paul believes in supporting paul. We dont need signs that say "End the Reptilians in Gov't" or "The Nephilim Shall Return from Niburu" that stuff is better on George Noorey's Coast to Coast AM.
