A favorite tactic of Communists, liberals and others on the left is using peer pressure-laced name-calling to try and marginalize those with whom they disagree. If they can successfully convince enough people that a particular viewpoint is held only by those on the fringes, as opposed to the mainstream, they believe they can successfully discredit that person as a crackpot.
They frequently brandish the labels Hitler, racist and extreme right-wing in their pathetic attempts to banish conservatives who believe in strict Constitutional interpretations to the extremities of the political spectrum. But, no matter how many people in this country --or elsewhere-- attack my efforts to protect and defend my Constitution, unless and until President-Elect Obama produces his original vault birth certificate for public scrutiny, he will be little more than a usurper; an illegitimate and impotent poseur. And no amount of name-calling, taunts or questions of sanity, patriotism or intelligence will change that fact. Those tactics only work on the weak-minded and those without the courage of their convictions.

Unfortunately those tactics appear to have worked on many Americans.
Name calling doesn't change the truth, so hang in there. There are a lot us who support your efforts.
See y'all in the cornfield.
The condition of the founding fathers spirit and intention for America was eloquently stated by Samuel Adams:
The liberties of our country, the freedom of our civil Constitution, are worth defending at all hazards; and it is our duty to defend them against all attacks. We have received them as a fair inheritance from our worthy ancestors: they purchased them for us with toil and danger and expense of treasure and blood, and transmitted them to us with care and diligence. It will bring an everlasting mark of infamy on the present generation, enlightened as it is, if we should suffer them to be wrested from us by violence without a struggle, or to be cheated out of them by the artifices of false and designing men.
Among the natural rights of the colonists are these: First a right to life, secondly to liberty, and thirdly to property; together with the right to defend them in the best manner they can.
Samuel Adams
He who is void of virtuous attachments in private life is, or very soon will be, void of all regard for his country. There is seldom an instance of a man guilty of betraying his country, who had not before lost the feeling of moral obligations in his private connections.
Samuel Adams
How strangely will the Tools of a Tyrant pervert the plain Meaning of Words!
Samuel Adams
It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people’s minds.
Samuel Adams
It does not take a majority to prevail... but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men.
Samuel Adams
Mankind are governed more by their feelings than by reason.
Samuel Adams
Our contest is not only whether we ourselves shall be free, but whether there shall be left to mankind an asylum on earth for civil and religious liberty.
Samuel Adams
The Constitution shall never be construed... to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms.
Samuel Adams
The liberties of our country, the freedom of our civil constitution, are worth defending against all hazards: And it is our duty to defend them against all attacks.
Samuel Adams
The natural liberty of man is to be free from any superior power on Earth, and not to be under the will or legislative authority of man, but only to have the law of nature for his rule.
Samuel Adams
We cannot make events. Our business is wisely to improve them.
Samuel Adams
The constitution is the supreme law of the land and it doesn’t matter if every last one of us voted for Zero the constitution still overrides that vote if he’s proven to be ineligible.
I’ve been checking in on the CanadaFreePress for the last few years. They publish some very good articles. Especially the woman wo is the managing editor. She is one sharp writer and political observer. And, of course, she’s on the conservative side with her views.
“Unfortunately those tactics appear to have worked on many Americans.”
It is also unfortunate that some of those tactics are being used right here on this forum. Those of us who are trying to protect the Constitution have been called conspiracy theorists and nuts. We have been accused of just being angry that Obama won and are told to “get over it”.
The people who are posting comments like that do not seem to understand the importance of pursuing this issue. In my opinion, it does not matter if this issue was about a Democrat, Republican or Independent President-Elect. The Constitution should be upheld by ALL citizens and candidates.
What is Obama hiding and why do some people not care?
