The Conservative Fool Of The Day is…Steve Miller!

Steve Miller - not to be confused with the singer and musician of the same name - is a former Las Vegas city councilman. Now he writes loopy articles for the misnamed Canada Free Press, a right-wing website in the WorldNutDaily mold.

Miller's latest rant is titled "Barack Obama is not legally a US natural-born citizen." In this absurd tirade, Miller claims the Democratic standard-bearer is not a natural-born citizen because the law at the time of his birth said that one is not a citizen if one parent wasn't a citizen and if the other parent was a citizen who did not live in the U.S. for 5 years after the age of 16.

One problem with that, Steve. If you're born in the U.S. - as Obama was - you're a citizen regardless of whether your parents were citizens. Duh, Steve! (The only exception is if you are not subject to U.S. jurisdiction - an exception that applies to the offspring of dignitaries who have diplomatic immunity.)

Miller stupidly declares, "Presidential office requires the person elected to be a natural-born United States citizen if the child was not born to two US citizen parents." Um, Steve? It requires you to be a natural-born citizen regardless of who you were born to. But since Obama is a natural-born citizen, that point is moot.

Steve Miller really is the Joker!
