Joanxis I couldn't have said it better myself. To all the crazed birthers/tea party racist bigots out there...thanks for bring shame back to America. It felt weird to actually be proud to be American again after eight years of Bush. May God have mercy on your souls!

2B - Just as I thought - you get your "facts" from the internet. I tried looking up info on BINs. Linkedin said, "Welcome to the company profile of BIN on Linkedin. BIN is a community of individuals who report what's going on around them." When I clicked on to find out more, the page said, "Access to the specified resource has been forbidden." So, I couldn't find out much about BIN's background, but from the little I did find, it's sure sounds like it's coming from the right. There's nothing wrong about being right leaning. But why would anyone want to just hear biased rheteric from one side. For those who hate Mr. Obama, nothing will change their minds. If they saw a video of the live birth, in a Honolulu hospital, with close ups of Mr. Obama's mother, they still wouldn't believe he was born in America. So I say, let this small group of haters have their delusions and the overwhelming majority of intelligent people - lets not give them any more thought or attention. Just my opinion.

Donald and the rednecks can retire to their mobile homes now that the birther issue is settled. They can now concentrate on the real reason the hate Obama his skin colour, as an associate of mine in KY said "who would vote to put a N--- in the white house.

Sadly Donald is deluded...he should look for some other way to use his money. His disgraceful disrespect for our President knows no bounds..all in the name of" ambition at all costs"...how crass...try as he may ..he could never hold a candle to the man in the White House..

2B -I try to be civil on this board, but I'm beginning to wonder about you. Where do you get your information from - the internet? No document has ever explained what the founding fathers meant by "natural born citizen". The following quote from your comment shows that what you have said IS your interpretation that "natural born citizen" means ONE BORN ON US SOIL, is just that - your interpretation. "No person except a natural born Citizen.. (interpretation: ONE BORN ON US SOIL).. or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution shall be eligible to the Office of President.." And for what hate filled reason would you say what you did below? Mr. Obama's mother and grandmother are dead and you defame dead women who can't defend themselves? Aren't you the brave boyo. "One plausible reason barry soetoro's mutha would not have enjoyed any privileges was the fact that she, the 'purported father (because it's not even sure oVomit Sr was the one, the way that woman got around) as well as her parents, were either commies, or known communist sympathizers, and that's not something a background check by the INS might have easily overlooked." I think you are a disgusting piece of work, who loves to say controvertial things to get attention. Just my opinion.

Well, I'm a poor white guy who lives in the south. I love the south by the way, our beaches are really nice. I have four kids and 3 beautiful grandchildren, whom I adore. I've never commited a felony, and I try to "love my enemies", like my Bible tells me to do. I'm sitting at the kitchen table in my nice house, and can see my pool, and the trees are blowing in the wind (we are under a tornado watch). I never knew I was such a bad person before, thanks for the heads up, I'll start my self-loathing as soon as I finish this. Oh yea, and I'm also third generation Irish-American. My great grandfather came to Michigan, after his dad and brothers were drowned in a storm in Ireland. You liberals are so funny sometimes!

Roberts, You are about as qualified and savvy to write about American politics as a second grade kid is to perform intricate brain surgery. You surely must be a close blood relative of O'Dowd!

Jamie darling did you know where the term "redneck" came from? It was to describe someone who has a "redneck" from working hard in the sun all day. It was actually a term created by the "poor white" who used it to distinguish themselves from the rich whites who would treat them as bad as the Blacks. If the rednecks had any sense, which some do, most don't they would see they are still being treated as bad as other minorities and wise up, and stop kissing the ass of the very people who still see them as something that needs to be scraped of their shoes. It will only be when the poor of all colors united will the "middle class" and lower classes stop the act on destroying their way of life. Like I said before buy a vowel and get a clue.

The use of the term "redneck" in this column was meant to be demeaning, insulting, and is a stereotype. @Luna005 - Jeff Foxworthy is a comedian who speaks to an audience who understands that his act is about getting laughs, not about seriously using the term to describe people in a derogatory manner.

Poor whites - and especially Southern ones - are the whipping boys of the pinko self-imagined elite: the last SAFE target for all their venom. Those like Paddy Boy who sneeringly toss around the "redneck", 'hillbilly" & "white trash" labels would never in a million years dare to call a black a "ni99er" - even if he was a mass murderer.

Wow...now I've seen everything! People are compare "redneck" to a racist term?!!! Dear people most rednecks I know refer to themselves as rednecks. Have we forgotten Jeff Foxworthy made a career out of it! Please, please, please chill out or y'all are going have strokes before the first primary. Has it really gotten to the point that we can't disagree without being racist?...Jeeze and I suppose Trump should be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize...oh wait that's right Obama has one! Wake up and by a vowel you guys!

vickila12 - So Irish Central should always have a right wing slant. What about those of us who have a left wing slant. Can't we belong to IC too? Both sides have ignorant, insulting columns. What you think is ignorant, I may think is correct. What I might find obnoxious, you might think is correct. By being able to read it all and figuring out the truth as we see it for ourselves - that's why God gave us brains. If you don't like seeing both sides of a discussion, then by all means unsubscribe. In that case - Bu-bye.
