So your Idea of me exercising the first and my right to petition the government is rebellion?
Pretty strong words there.
Why are you so interested in shutting people up about Mr. Obama's eligibility under the constitution?
Perhaps I misunderstood, but why were you citing rebellion against British rule ?
You certainly have the right to petition, but I think it is politically unwise if your object is to stop Obama&co., as is mine.
It makes it more difficult for people on the fence or who have formerly backed Obama but who have begun to doubt to associate themselves with our side, because of strong negative associations with this strain of thought. Changing the attitude of those people is the path to success.
In many ways political success depends on putting oneself in the head of the person one wants to persuade. It is not about whats in your mind, but whats in someone elses mind.
