[Be Careful]

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." -- Theodore Roosevelt, April 23, 1910

When the people fear their government, there is tyranny. When the government fears the people, there is liberty. -- Thomas Jefferson

During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act. -- George Orwell

First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, then you win. -- Mahatma Gandhi

[Mr. Know It All]

Theoretically, yes.

This is not my main problem with the birther claim, but it's a huge problem, nevertheless. It requires me to denounce as traitors a huge list of people I know are not traitors. Rick Santorum, Sarah Palin, Newt Gingrich, Ann Coulter, not to mention hundreds of fellow Freepers, all become dead to me. I don't agree with everything these people say, but I'm not going to smear them as traitors.

I also have to turn my back on my country, its judiciary, its military and the leadership in all the states and territories. All of them, red and blue alike.

That would be a reasonable request if Chinese tanks were rolling down Main Street because of something all these people did deliberately. When I'm being asked to do it because of a cobbled-together list of claims, many of which have been debunked, and none of which actually amounts to solid proof, then no, I'm not going to go there.
