Oh boy, you see you’re the kind of idiot I’m talking about. Check my profile, I’ve been on FR longer than HuffPo has even been around. But you’re gee-dee right I’m hysterical - we have a shot in 2010 to end this wretched mess, a mess that has cost us over $1 trillion in less than 12 months. This issue is going to bury conservatives as cranks, nuts, and freaks, the same way Bush was able to with the “Bush Lied” crowd. The only difference is, I don’t think most of the “Bush Lied” freaks really believed it, they just pushed it because they thought it would hurt. It did hurt. THEM. Just like it’s hurting us, only I think these birth certificate freaks really do believe it, and that disturbs the hell out of me.
This is not some lottery ticket where we hope to hit six number and retire. This is the stewardship and administration of the most powerful and important nation on earth. That’s won by issues, not crackpot conspiracy memes dreamed up on Absinthe and LSD, for Pete’s sake! We’re in a burning building, on the first floor, standing next to an open window, and you’re pointing down a conflagration-laded hallway towards the fire exit. It will be the END OF US, you understand? The END.
Get some ideas, and get off this birth certificate train. The only end is self-immolation.
“It will be the END OF US, you understand? The END.”
Nonsense. Take a pill.
The attempt to marginalize birthers is the same Alinsky tactic used to smear Sarah Palin. Just ask yourself why is the left so worked up about the possibility that ObaMugabe is a Kenyan Imposter.
Man up.
You are free to get off this train if you like. Speaking for myself, I prefer to watch and see what comes of it. But don’t be telling the rest of us what to do. If you want to hop off, please, by our guest. You don’t really have to click on these threads if you are so opposed to them.
"Self-immolation". My, that phrase sounds familiar. It seems like all those who are ranting against a legitimate search for truth are using it.
You spend more time arguing with supporters of the birthers than you should, you know.
Why aren’t *you* spending your time better?
Just let it go, for some of us this is fun. It really is like the $20 we spend on the 25 cent slot machines in Vegas once a year.
(Last month, I won $250 after putting in a $5 dollar bill to pass the time while waiting for our friends to come down for dinner. )
