i need a snappy comeback for yet another dufus
who feels we've "LOST OUR CONSTITUTION" because the president(GASP!) wasn't born in the usa.

I don't want to come across so sarcastic, but how can i resist this:

"The part that is lost is the part that guaranties us a US born president. The remainder is at risk. We are living in the most liberal times in history. Hope you enjoy the changes that the guy in the White House makes. He's not my president."

I want to correct his spelling and his grammar...

11. 'I'd ask you to leave the country but you'd get to Iowa and think you
were in a foreign land.'
'You would probably say that about Richardson from New Mexico also'
'McCain was born in Panama. Is that a state?'

8. I have ONE conservative friend...
.
He has a THICK streak of Libertarian in him -- the selfish me-me-me-me
that most of them seem to have.
.
But I have also seen him commit some pretty remarkable acts of kindness.
.
He gets sent the teabaggers' paranoid fantasy chain emails and forwards
some of them to me (maybe most or all, I've never asked). Of the perhaps
200 or so that he's sent me, all but ONE were debunked MIGHTILY on
Snopes.com .
.
So, rather than a witty comeback, go to Snopes, search for the topic, and
copy/paste the webpage you find in a response to your friend.
.
Not that it will do a shred of good.
.
Teabaggers don't WANT facts. They want:
.
FEAR and OUTRAGE and SCARY MONSTERS and OUTRAGE!!!!!!
.
Did I mention OUTRAGE?
.
Oh... and here's the findings from Snopes.com on the Kenya birth certificate issues.
.
http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/birthers/kenyacert.asp
.
Oh, and by the way... I think I may have seen just a leetle bit of that "WE'VE
LOST OUR CONSTITUTION" outrage and despondency amongst our, ahem... fellow
travelers today re: SCOTUS.

18. You repeat your last sentence there...
"Damn, I WISH it was the most liberal time in history." Then add, "I miss the days of LBJ, when we had real liberals running things." It's guaranteed to draw a blank stare.

14. The trouble with nitwits
Inspired by Chris Rock: he uses a different N word, but it still applies

The worst, the WORST thing about nitwits, is they want credit for something than a regular person would'nt think twice about!"I aon't never been to jail!" Whatchoo want, a cookie? "I pay taxes!" What's the matter, you did'nt get your little gold star in the mail? Trouble with these jeeters, some of they credits have run out, and they think they've lost their country! If you put it down in the wrong place, you should go look for it! Fat white man credit? Expired! Speak and write English poorly? Done! Can't stand nobody diffe'nt than your ig'nt self? Deduction! Try for the somewhat educated credit, fool - where the F*&% is Pearl Harbor? How about the hard workin' credit, you cella dwellin Mu%&*&^%$! Where do they keep the constitution? It was in a movie, dumbass, you should be able to figure out. Tired, Tired, Tired of this shit. Nitwits has got to go....

20. LOL!!!
My town is full of the people who are EXACTLY like what he's describing. And, most of them are white--and use that word all the time! And, they're too stupid to recognize the irony of it...
