And so it goes...

"This just might make your day a little brighter!!
You, who worry about Democrats versus Republicans--relax,
here is our real problem.

In a Purdue University classroom, they were discussing
the qualifications to be President of the United States .
It was pretty simple. The candidate must be a natural
born citizen of at least 35 years of age.

However, one girl in the class immediately started
in on how unfair was the requirement to be a natural
born citizen. In short, her opinion was that this
requirement prevented many capable individuals from
becoming president. The class was taking it in and
letting her rant, and many jaws hit the floor when
she wrapped up her argument by stating "What makes
a natural born citizen any more qualified to lead this
country than one born by C-section?"

Yep, these are the same kinds of 18-year-olds that are
now voting in our elections!

And they walk among us.
And they reproduce!"

Wow, so because one 18-year-old didn't understand the meaning of "natural-born citizen," all people in that age range are stupid?

Well, it could be worse. She could be spouting the version of "natural born citizens" that Birthers promote.

Another internet variant of the same theme only the names have been changed to protect the fictitious.


In a Seattle Washington college classroom, they were discussing the qualifications to be President of the United States . It was pretty simple - the candidate must be a natural born citizen of at least 35 years of age.

However, one girl in the class immediately started in on how unfair was the requirement to be a natural born citizen. In short, her opinion was that this requirement prevented many capable individuals from becoming president .

The class was taking it in and letting her rant, but everyone's jaw hit the floor when she wrapped up her argument by stating, 'What makes a natural born citizen any more qualified to lead this country than one born by C-section?'

Yep, these are the 18 year olds that just voted for the President of the United States ....
