Those of us who dispute birther claims do so because we see illogical conclusions and/or total delusion running rampant at FR.

Some of us challenge birther claims because we believe the incorrect information damages the credibility of FR as a whole. Some of us challenge birther claims because it’s entertaining to watch the birthers freak out. Some of us challenge birther claims because we just like to argue. Some of us challenge birther claims because we want them to see the ridiculous nature of their narrative.

But none of us challenge birther claims because we’re afraid. To think that we’re afraid of the birther narrative is arrogant, narcissistic, or delusional.

“To think that we’re afraid of the birther narrative is arrogant, narcissistic, or delusional.”

AMEN! I, for one, would LOVE TO SEE A BIRTHER NARRATIVE. It would be real kewl if the birthers put their thoughts down in a logical, narrative format. It would save us from having to untangle their ungodly mess.

Something else I would like to see is some Birther honesty. If you don’t know anything about law, don’t pretend you do and pull cites from here and there and splat them out. Start your comment out with “I don’t know much about the law, BUT.....”

Then the person you are arguing with can adapt his answer to your level of knowledge. You, the birther will learn more, faster, and we the non-Birthers, won’t want to come thru the computer screen and Jap-slap you around when you say the same dumb thing about Wong for the 27th time. We’ll give you a link to the case and try to explain the nuances to you.

parsy, who tried to get thru his screen this morning after a couple of birthers didn’t have the good graces to even go read Wong, before they tried arguing the case.

No, it's because you belong to the O.D.L (obummer defense league)

There a plenty of reasons to question your messiah, and you fight every one of them tooth and nail.

Please tell us why you love and defend him so.

You undermine your integrity by leaning on a namecalling crutch. Not sure this shows any capacity for logic; just paranoia and irrationality.

Ahem .... if this is a subject you truly find that damaging to the place, as you claim (along with others feigning the same disingenuous protectiveness) one would expect that these threads would be the very LAST place to which you’d be drawn like a magnet as you are, just like regular folks avoid situations they find irksome and disagreeable to them in their real lives.

I’m sure the boss here would love to know all your efforts to protect the place so he could acknowledge and thank you.

“...because we see illogical conclusions and/or total delusion running rampant at FR.”

If there is something ‘running rampant,’ you’re sure not a bystander.

You might just consider that to be *your* interpretation of a difference of opinion regarding Constitutional integrity and survival.
