I am pretty sure every single living thing has died while still living, so his status is still very very unclear. The sticking point for me is "Born: Unknown".

So was he hatched from an egg, or some kind of vegetable?

People who feel there are counterfeit, pseudo or other "un" Americans truly do not understand what America really is. America is the people who show up. They show up on our shores, in our communities, at a job, school, recruiting office, LIttle League game. America is all of us -- including the guy who made that sign. By casting political disagreements as disloyalty (or its handmaiden, treason) the TP'ers are fundamentally rejecting <i>e pluribus unum</i>.

He's holding the sign up over his head like it's an Idea! Clever Boy.

This almost perfectly represents the Tea Partiers. They want to return America to the 19th century light bulbs and all. Return to a period of unfettered capitalism, no regulation, limited voting, before most non-English immigration, no income tax, no unions, no environmental protection. They love that shit.

Life expectancy in 1900: 50 years.
