Ann Coulter is back to promoting Donald Trump. This can only mean she saw dollar signs as she has no morality or conscience.

(14,089 posts)How the hell would a person have more than four grandparents? (given that they are so into strict nuclear families and biological parentage and all).

(4,903 posts)I've never forgotten about it, and I've mentioned I've many times, but I had forgotten that Willie performed it. I recall reading that it was first performed by some comedy duo in 1947, which, incidentally, was the year I was born!

(4,874 posts)had grandparents born in the in the late 1800s. And mortality rates being what they were, it's not impossible for one or more of the grandparents to have married more than once.

(14,089 posts)They are obsessed with proofs; obsessed with biological heritage. God forbid you change a last name. For them, these theoretical voters would have to produce proof of four grandparents having been born in the United States. Specifically:
Person X's birth certificate with both father and mother named.
X's father's birth certificate, with their father (X's paternal grandfather) and mother (X's paternal grandmother) named.
X's mother's birth certificate, with their father (X's maternal grandfather) and mother (X's maternal grandmother) named.
Birth certificates for each of the following to prove they were born here:
X's named paternal grandfather
X's named paternal grandmother
X's named maternal grandfather
X's named maternal grandmother
Of the 56% of American's who self-identify as third-generation U.S. Citizens I would guess that at most, 10% could produce proofs that would satisfy Ms. Coulter and her ilk.
But that is apparently her dream nation, one where only third-generation people who can prove it can vote.

(4,874 posts)and logic to a nonsensical comment by a rwnj. I wonder, if she looked at her family tree, would she find all her grandparents had been born here in America? And how loudly would she screech if she found they hadn't?

(7,626 posts)would make sense, or just four grandparents. She probably gets paid for each word.

(97,329 posts)I have 4 grandparents (great grandparents, great-great grandparents, great-great-great-grandparents, etc.) born in America or on the soil that would become America and I wouldn't vote for him.

(26,621 posts)One was born in Germany and came here with her parents and siblings when she was 4 years old. But since she came from the same country as 2 of the orange snowflake's grandparents, maybe that makes me American enough to vote. One grandparent made it just under the wire. He was born here two weeks after his parents arrived.
But my other two grandparents trace back to colonial MA and CT, with Revolutionary War vets among their ancestors, so maybe that gives me extra American points? In fact, those two also trace back to Indigenous people already here when Europeans arrived. Can't get much more American than that.
But I would never vote for the orange snowfkake and I am sure that none of my grandparents would have either.
Solly Mack
(97,329 posts)so jealous. Still didn't qualify.
The white ancestors came from Ireland and England early on. The black ancestors came as slaves.
I've always felt more like a citizen of the world.
wnylib
(26,621 posts)who I I have long suspected were born in Canada, but never found records to verify it. Now that Canada has opened up its citizenship to descendants, I am researching that line very closely again.

(97,329 posts)grandparents. Doesn't make anyone more American. I don't feel more American than a person who was naturalized. I probably take it more for granted than they ever will.
But she wasn't going for logic, she was going for the anti-immigrant sentiment. Her "logic" does exactly what was stated - stops Trump and all of his kids from voting because none of them have 4 American-born grandparents. Neither does Ted Cruz nor Marco Rubio.
Trump is full of shit and hate. So is Coulter.

(3,066 posts)The damage done by the Offal in the Oval (credit to Shower Caps Blog) to the country may never be undone.
I knew not to vote for him because he was a piece of excrement before he ran.

This is probably objectively incorrect, in addition to being bigoted.
pat_k
(14,089 posts)I imagine I could cook up all sorts of interesting -- and FAR MORE ATTRACTIVE -- outcomes that would result from targeting and disappearing this or that 45% of the citizens of the United States.
Cause that's what she's doing. Declaring "gee, it would be great if 45% of the citizens of this nation just f-ing disappeared."
Evil, bizarre, deranged thinking.

(60,551 posts)Four of my grandparents were indeed born in the USA.
The other four were born in Slovakia, Yugoslavia, Belize and Zambia at the end of the 19th century.
Extra points to anyone who can find the borders of any of those four countries on any 19th century map.
