Not concerned with his birth certificate as much as his actions.

Well, he lives in America so I'm guessing he is.

Yes he is an American. BUT, he is the first president who holds a moral relativist view of the world.

Maybe, but he definitely is not a 'Murican.

All I know is that he despises all that had made America great.

All morals are relative. Only fools believe in absolutes.

FDR, Woodrow Wilson and Teddy Roosevelt beg to differ.

All of these presidents firmly believed that American/western culture was best.

Hell yeah it is. Look at our standard of living vs. the rest of the world. Our military. Our wealth. Nothing wrong with being the best and knowing it. F$%k the haters. All the apologists need to gtfo an move to whatever shithole country they think is so gotdamn awesome. I'll stay here in the land of milk and honey. We didn't get where we are by accident.

How is the above not relativism?

So many "patriots" believe that being "American" means being exactly how they think things should be based on their own personal morals. Being American is the complete opposite of a single, defined belief. It's based on an ideal that every belief, value, moral, religion, etc is accepted when it doesn't infringe upon the rights of others.

I assume it hinges on how many pairs of American flag underwear you own.

> or = 5 - American
< 5 - Russian Spy

Although, if you own too many pairs, you are overcompensating for something and likely a Russian spy as well.

So, let's revisit it.

5 < or = x < 8 - American
5 > x > or = 8 - Russian Spy

x = number of American flag undies

There. Simple.
