When the dates of the Republic were said to be December 1964 several people made snap judgments that the document was a hoax. Not so fast, let's make sure of what we know. When the document first came out, people were excited and want to accept it as real. Not so fast, let the evidence take you where it will.
Understand, it does not discredit us to have a hoax foisted upon us. It discredits us when we try to take each hoax and declare it real before we do the work to authenticate it. Slow and steady wins the race.
Two things I think we should remember: Ms. Taitz and Alan Keys are not a flakes, they are intelligent people. I don't expect them to put a document from just any source before the federal court and ask for these sorts of extraordinary measures. Secondly, we have time on our side and we don't need to make fools of ourselves by calling real or hoax prematurely. We are going to go through a lot of hoaxes before we get to the smoking gun. I do believe the smoking gun is out there though because if it weren't they would just show us the birth certificate and tell us to go away.
