My Reaction to "NOT Born In The USA?"

There is NO doubt in my mind that the majority of "Birthers" are individuals who are angry that America elected a person of color to the highest office in the world. Some may be racist, but I'll hesitate to generalize on that scale. These people are genuinely frightened and desperate to hold on to what they feel has been taken from them and on the verge of being destroyed. I will say that if there was an individual born to an Irish father attending Harvard University and a mother from Maine, this would be a non-issue. This is the basis of their argument (once people began calling them idiots)....he isn't a "natural born citizen" because his father was a Kenyan in America going to school, which doesn't make him a US citizen, and therefore makes his child Non American because you have to be born to two AMERICAN parents. Are they serious? I don't know the percentage, but I would think that that would make an enormous chunk of the American population Non American. Someone born abroad to foreign parents who moves here as a child, grows up to marry someone born in America to American parents - their child(ren) aren't American? ....which would mean that their grandchildren wouldn't be American either? It's crazy and reckless and dangerous. This careless rhetoric perpetuates hate and breeds anger and fear, which is what happened in the case of Timothy McVeigh and what George Wallace did during the Civil Right Movement.
This is America....this is not behavior becoming of the most powerful and influential power in the world. I don't even know what to say. I'm angry, disappointed, ashamed, and maybe even a little scared. This is supposed to be America - the country who unfortunately consistently falls short of its ideals.

Is this America?
