Okay, this should be up to your reading skill level. I took out those icky lines, a few extraneous sidetracks, and there it is. It’s not exactly the length of a Russian novel, so I’m sure you can slog through it.
I’m coming to the conclusion that the reason they (whoever “they” are - a bunch of ‘em) picked 0h0m0 is precisely because he’s not constitutionally eligible. The article recently by Ezra Klein clinched it. Of course, 0h0m0 himself said some years ago - was quoted on FR a number of times - that the Constitution is old, faulty, needs fixing, and so on.
They want a constitutional crisis so they can trash it. They hate the Constitution. That’s why these trolls - many of them hirelings - stick to the eligibility threads and repeat lies and nonsense that is proven false over and over again ad nauseum. They are basically p***ing on the Constitution - on purpose! They aren’t trying to convince anyone by repteating nonsensical lies over and over again; they’re trying to instill defeatism and hopelessness.
It’s not so much that their boy just happens to be ineligible. That’s the cherry on the cake, or maybe even the cake. They could have won with Hitlery, since McCain was such a feeble piece of - well, we all hated his guts. So even Hitlery could have won.
But they pulled strings and got 0h0m0 specifically so they could pound the final nails into the Constitution’s coffin.
Or so they hope. It’s not over, and we’re not giving up.
And stupid trolls like TNTNT (who’s probably going to blow up pretty soon, regarding his stay on FR) always focus on the eligibility threads because that’s the key to destroying the Constitution. If they were regular leftists just spouting, they’d post about other leftist garbage that 0h0m0 and his gang are perpetrating. But the in-your-face ineligible president is the full frontal destruction of the Constitution, and that’s their aim. The Constitutional principles and limitations on fedgov power and the protection of our rights are the only thing standing between us and tyranny.
And they know it.
Just thought of something additional. Their plans aren’t working very well, since 0h0m0 has messed up much worse than they thought. Even the DUmpsters hate him now. They thought that since he was so popular and adored during the campaign that the love affair would last. And that when eventually his ineligibility was made public, that no one would mind, and we’d all realize that a global citizen actually makes a much better president, and therefore the Constitution needs changing; and might as well change a whole bunch of other stuff at the same time.
But 0h0m0’s serious unpopularity has got them scared. He was actually a tool - a pry bar - to destroy the Constitution with. We all know he’s stupid, but they figured he’d be malleable enough to do the job. Not so.
The fact that they make fun of “birthers” shows that is the sore point for them.
All this repetition that “birtherism” makes conservatives look like kooks is because they want everyone to stay away from that issue.
Until, of course, 0b0m0 is so adored that everyone will accept a global citizen as president, and thus the Constitution is finito.
Plan didn’t work, though.
0h0m0 wasn’t the candidate despite the fact that he is ineligible, but because he is ineligible. And 0bot trolls aren’t here to convince anyone. We can see what/who they are, they just mindlessly repeat the same shot-down drivel over and over and over again.
They’re here to sow defeatism and hopelessness, that is their purpose.
To make us give up.
This Kenyan/Indonesian/British commie homo drug thug idiot is the final blow. If we don’t get rid of him PRECISELY because he’s ineligible, they have won. He is their coup de grace.
Anyway, I think your argument that "the Democrats" (who I don't believe are any more of a single mind than "the Republicans") came to a group consensus to pick Obama because of questions about his citizenship is ridiculous. If you make a move like that to create a Constitutional crisis, as you claim, then you have to actually bring the matter to a head to make that point.
But in this instance, the Democrats and Obama have argued very strongly that he was born in Hawaii as a matter of fact, not as a matter of statutory law or Constitutional law. So they have been avoiding discussion of the exact "Constitutional crisis" point you claim they are trying to make.
Now apart from whatever criticisms you may have of TNTNT, you can probably tell from my posts that I've been extremely critical of Obama. The core of that for me is something that was obvious prior to his election. He is not a believer in American Exceptionalism, and in fact, the very concept is as offensive to him as is the bust of Winston Churchill. He's part of what former U.N. Ambassador Jeanne Kirkpatrick correctly labelled the "Blame America First" crowd.
My problem with the birther movement is that I think you've made it more difficult politically to make that argument. Far better rhetorically, and far more persuasive, to concede (or at least not dispute) that he is legally an NBR, but that doesn't prevent him from being an anti-American, disloyal scumbag whose view of America aligns more with that of Michael Pfleger, Saul Alinsky, Ayers than it does the mass of the Ameircan people.
My disagreement is with your tactics, not with your overall conclusions about Obama's merits.
