The birther movement has been one embarrassing failure after another. Don’t pretend you were at any time offering a legitimate challenge to Obama sitting at your keyboard repeating idiotic conspiracy theories on the Internet.

Ouch! You are striking right at the heart of the birther fantasy there.

A lot of birthers imagine that by sitting at their keyboards, repeating idiotic conspiracy theories, they are changing the world. The usurper is going to be driven from the White House, any day! All because they repeated that he was born in Kenya.

If they have a case, then they ought to be on the phone to their Congressman, or they ought to be pouring their time, effort and dollars into lawsuits.

If they want the matter before the public, then they ought to be on the phone with Sean Hannity and Mark Levin and Rush Limbaugh and Fox News. And every other conservative talk show host and reporter in the country.

If they can't win with their Congressman, and they can't win in the courts, and they can't get any coverage from any major conservative commentator, then that ought to be a clue to them (it isn't, because they're not capable of "getting" subtle hints like that) that everyone of any stature in the country thinks they simply don't have a case.

I want to comment particularly on Mark Levin. The guy is Mr. Constitution. It's practically all he talks about.

Birthers imagine they have a great case that it takes two citizen parents for anybody to be a natural born citizen. And yet the most Constitutionally-literate, most knowledgeable, most scholarly, most Constitution-committed conservative talk show host in the nation won't touch their argument with a 20-foot pole. Won't give them the time of day.

And somehow they don't find this odd. Well, it is odd. So let's find an excuse for it. Because it can't be that the two citizen parent stuff is BS. So Mark Levin must be deaf. Or he's not getting his mail. Or he's corrupt. Obama has bribed him.

Well, none of those work. So he must be either too concerned about his image, or Obama must have threatened his family. Yeah, that's it. He's afraid of Obama.

Every single day Levin goes on the air and rails against Obama, and makes all kinds of accusations against the President, but he's secretly so afraid of him that he won't touch the question of whether it takes citizen parents to be a natural born citizen. He'll call Obama a Socialist, but won't dare even entertain the question of whether he's a natural born citizen.

Yeah, right.

But it's so easy to sit at your keyboard and repeat conspiracy theories on the internet and tell yourself, "Hey, I'm actually doing something! Hey, I'm changing the country! Gosh, this is easy! Obama will surely be gone by Christmas!"

And if anyone tells you that you would do conservatism a far better service by getting up and going and campaigning for a conservative candidate of your choice, or going and raising funds for a conservative candidate, or convincing others of the value of conservatism and the fact that we're on the wrong course, that person is (of course) a secret liberal or a "troll."

By the way, how many birther courtroom failures are we up to now? I can't even keep count. Is it 100? 150? 200? Where are we?

Why did Obama post a fake birth certificate on White House web site? How do you explain that one, genius?
