The NBC birthers are still refusing to acknowledge the politics of all this.

First, until they detach Obama’s name from their pursuit, it will be dismissed as racial politics, or simply without merit...by both parties.

Second, if you can't convince your allies, you sure as hell won't convince your opponents. Instead of screeeeeching about a conspiracy of silence, places like the Heritage Foundation and other conservative thinkers need to sold on the theory and justification for NBC before it will ever make its way out of the basement.

Agreed.

To be fair, many of the birther folks I see posting here are fairly consistent in the fact that they rage against the idea of Rubio or Jindal running on a Republican ticket. Those are 2 potentially very good candidates and many of the birther types make the same argument against them that they do about Obama (at least on the technical definition of what a NBC is). Yes, there are the real crackpots who think there are DaVinci code like smiley faces in the "fake" birth certificate, but at least some are consistent and focus on this one argument.

Unfortunately, they are just wrong. They ascribe to a definition of NBC that the courts simply do not accept. Constitutional scholars like Mark Levin do not agree with them either. Obama will never be ruled ineligible and neither will Rubio or Jindal. At this point, some of the birthers have invested so much emotion that they will remain spitting mad and continue pushing this birther/birth certificate stuff - but in the end it will continue to all come to nothing. Sad really, so much wasted on energy on a point that will have absolutely no effect on getting Hussein out of office.

Of course we understand the political aspects idiot.

Just like we did in Kelo, Lawrence, Filburn, Dred Scott and a host of many others.

You don't think those decisions had a political component as well?

Does that make them the right decisions?

What other issues should we just remain silent on because there are political ramifications....obamacare?

Will you celebrate that win for obama too because it was political?

Pffft.

You mean the same Heritage Foundation that was advocating for a federal healthcare mandate before they were against it?
