Teabaggers/GOP can be thankful for the 14th amendment they wish to abolish--citizens of WHERE?

That's the one which grants US citizenship to anyone born on US territory.

For an immigrant to acquire US citizenship, think of a few of the basic requirements:

"To become a citizen, immigrants must be a lawful permanent resident for at least five years, pass tests on English and U.S. history and government, and swear allegiance to the United States." (Direct quote from Fox, no less!!)

Looking at the teabaggers' signs, they already fail the English test:



Seeing as how they claim the USA was founded as a Christian nation, and want "government hands off their Medicare,"
they would fail any basic test of knowledge of U.S. Government. Even would-be House Speaker John Bonehead went
before TV cameras with the entire House Republican leadership behind him citing the Declaration of Independence
and claiming it was from the Contitution (!!).

As for swearing allegiance to the United States, one of their rank just advocated armed insurrection against our
own country if the elections didn't produce the results he wanted (what, a $200 million slush fund plus Faux 24/7
isn't enough of a handicap for you?).

Citizens of WHERE???? Teahadistan? It sound to me like 65% of Republicans and 99% of teabaggers would fail the
same test of citizenship we give to foreigners--probably a bigger percentage of failure than than that of people
born in other countries taking the same test citizenship.

2. How disappointing! LOL I'll replace it
Thanks for the heads-up--it's telling that they are so illiterate that it needed pointing out!
