'Birthers' must be stopped

Never underestimate the ability of a tiny fringe group of losers to ruin everything.

For the last couple of weeks, we've all been laughing heartily at the wacky antics of the "birthers" -- the far-right goofballs who claim Barack Obama wasn't really born in Hawaii and therefore the job of president goes to the runner-up, former Miss California Carrie Prejean.

Also, when Obama was sworn in as president, he forgot to give his answer in the form of a question.

And yet, every week, the chorus of conservatives demanding to see his birth certificate grows. It's like they're the Cambridge police, Obama's in his house -- the White House -- and they need to see some ID.

And there's nothing anyone can do to convince these folks. You could hand them, in person, the original birth certificate and have a video of Obama emerging from the womb with Don Ho singing in the background ... and they still wouldn't believe it.

Which raises the question: Why, in this country, is it always the religious right that won't take anything on faith?

So far, the reaction from Democrats is to laugh this off, and I understand why. If you seriously believe that President Obama is an African sleeper spy, get out of your chat room and have your house tested for lead.

I’m saying we didn’t have a problem with saying the Naval Observatory was CHENEY’S house back when we were calling on Gore to move out of it. I don’t like “that man” calling it “his” house either, but it’s not the end of the world, I suppose. The Bush’s had too much class to... they always acted as if they were the caretakers of the house, not the owners.

If Bammy had played little league BALL, his guardian would have had to show a REAL BIRTH CERTIFICATE!!

We know he didn't play little league ball by the way he bounced that girly toss at the All Star game.

It’s obvious that Barak Obama and his entire administration, with media complicity, is hiding something.

The “Birther’ thing? May be, may not......

I do believe it’s a LEWINSKY. A giant distraction. We KNOW enough of the bad things about this bunch to warrant fighting this fascistic ‘movement’ were being pushed into.
You’d think we could at least stop the RINO’s in Congress - especially the Senate-from supporting them. We can’t seem to even get rid of them!

I fear a lot of those bad policies will be pushed through while everyone is destracted, destroying the letter of the law, day by day while everyone is searching for a COLB and talking about it endlessly and by the time it’s proven either way, it’s not going to make any difference. There won’t be enough of us left to fight them. By then they’ll make an obvious, non English speaking illegal alien president (if BO doesn’t stay ‘forever’.)

I’m not distracted. Neither are the American people apparently.
