You said — “LOL! It is funny how the usual suspects come out of the woodwork at the same time. My guess is they are waiting to get their talking points fax or emails.
Anyone want to bet? I say one will pop up in 20 minutes or less.”

LOL! If this is indicative of the type of thinking that goes along with analyzing the data in these threads, it’s no wonder this issue is going nowhere...
There are just some posts that jump out at ya, and get you to laughing... This is one of them.
As for me, sometimes I’ve not even around Free Republic for days at a time and then I catch up on reading right on down the list of articles that have been posted. Only the ones that are interesting for various reasons (and that includes the “Obama Derangement Syndrome” as being interesting too, along with my other personally interesting subjects...) get attention, and then even fewer get posts.
Way back when (long before the election), I posted against Obama and raised some of the same questions about showing some documentation for purposes of proving the issue. But, I could clearly see that there was a “hole” in the vetting system that did not require *specific* legal documentation, other than simply following the same normal procedures used by prior candidates. And then, when the election passed, I also lost. Then I realized that there are a lot more for Obama, than I ever thought there was before (which definitely was not me... LOL...).
The hole in the vetting system is why I’m supporting the bill in Oklahoma to require specific documentation to prove a candidate’s eligibility according to the Constitution. Also, Arizona is dong the same thing.
And so, at first, these threads were interesting and informative and had good discussions when we were running up to the election. The election pretty much threw all of this stuff out the door, so to speak. It was very clear by then, that this issue was going nowhere, at all. And it is still very apparent from all the results thus far.
That’s why several conservatives and the conservative media has labeled this “Obama Derangement Syndrome”. Now, at this current time, my interest is anthropological, as in human behavior. I want to see how long it is before people face up to the reality of the election and get into alternative methods of opposing policies that need to be opposed. For some, I think this will continue (for them) all the way through the opening day of Obama’s Presidential Library... :-) ...
For what I thought was serious discussion on Free Republic, has turned into wishful thinking and irrational thinking. One example of that is that Obama is escorted “off property” (of the White House) with a court order and a Marshal serving it... (now that’s a hoot!). Yes, there are some who will come on here and “defend that methodology” — which to me stresses the “derangement” part of the syndrome.
Also, the other “derangement” part of this syndrome is always “looking for the trolls” who some are sure come from DU, are Obots and Obama supporters — regardless of all the information that can be secured here from prior postings and ideas from a poster. The so-called “conspiracy” is so widespread, that it (apparently in the minds of the deranged) extends to those who have been conservative all along.
So, in reading that comment quoted above, all this becomes so, so apparent, as to what is going on...
It’s like a car wreck. You keep looking at it, amazed that something can get so twisted, having been apparently “straight” before...
[ ... oh, and by the way (for the conspiracy minded...) I don’t think any of those so-called Obots have come on here, yet... ]
Took much longer then I thought - But I bet on the Cardinals too...oh well
I’m proud of you for working on the Oklahoma law. It is needed in each state. However, these cases are not over yet. Berg’s original case has now taken the step setting it up for oral argument. Oral Argument WILL follow. For oral argument to take place, discovery must take place. In discovery the BC will be obtained....BO will try to delay this from happening, any delay in this process will again send it to the SC who will insist that these steps be taken.....
It is not just the content of this case that they care about, as it is as much that the process be kept in tack, our entire judicial system.
Yes, the wheel of justice run slowly. But, they do move.
Then might I suggest that unobtrusively observing, rather than interfering with your subjects, would be much more scientific?
Obviously, Barry won the 'popular' vote by winning the major population/urban centers. It would be interesting to know the statistics of...say, the number of taxpayers and amount they paid in the red vs blue areas. Or, say crime rate per person in the red vs blue areas. etc.
Another interesting point (IMO), is that there appears to be no solid blue anywhere in OK. Perhaps that legislation (requiring some kind of 'vetting') has a chance there.
