Geeez friend, give it a rest already. You’ve been defending Obama on these bc threads since last November, and your arguments and reasoning haven’t improved one iota.

If you honestly feel that the issue has no merit, then why on earth do you bother to participate in discussions that have moved well beyond the questioning stage, and into full-blown accusatory mode?

What you Certifigate deniers don’t seem to understand, is that this issue has evolved well past the point of theorizing and conjecture. There’s now no doubt whatsoever in most people’s minds that Barack Obama is withholding all of his personal documentation for nefarious purposes.

So, I ask you. Just what is the point of dropping your ineffective naysaying here, if you’re not going to change anyone’s mind?

“Just what is the point of dropping your ineffective naysaying here, if you’re not going to change anyone’s mind?”

I can’t say for sure I won’t change anyone’s mind. But even if I won’t, argument is a worthwhile pursuit for its own sake.

I might ask you the same question, why do you drop your comments if you aren’t going to convince me? You’d probably respond that you’re not here to address me, that Birther threads are for Birthers, or perhaps that preaching to the choir is fun and healthy. What about my choir? It’s not as if I’m alone. Your whole argument at this point boils down to the fact that your choir is bigger than mine (at least on these threads). I should go find some other thread or site that caters to my viewpoint.

Internet conversations often descend into this pit. “You can’t argue with me because you don’t agree with me.” To a certain point, it’s true. I wouldn’t go to HuffPo, because it’d be completely worthless. But if two conservatives can’t argue, what the heck is the point of FR?
