Isn’t it stunning ? ...the cavalier attitudes expressed here
by some at the dangerous reality that apparently our
government machinery and laws DO NOT absolutely prevent
the possibility of a secretive, malevolent, ineligible
tyrant from cunnily scheming his way into our White House,
with the help of a completely shielding complicit press and
brainwashed, uninformed citizenry, then pompously and
nonchalantly uttering the cynical retorts ...”go pass a
law” ..or “get a senator to have hearings” ..or “just vote
him out in 2012?”

It reminds me of the coldhearted doctor referenced in those
Cancer Centers of America commercials...”Pam, you’ve got 3
months.” It’s the outrageously frigid, uncaring attitude.

How does an American who loves their country feel and
express such stark coldness and indifference at the
potential dissembling of our Constitution and the very
purposeful weakening of the greatest nation ever invisioned
on the face of the globe and her sovereignty, right before
their eyes?

I just don’t get it.

Confounds and saddens me, what it could possibly be worth
so much or little to them to accept and defend this disaster so casually.

I realize you won't accept this, but we do love our country, and it's not indifference to the Constitution. We just think this is an odd little bit of mini mass hysteria.

We think Obama was born in Hawaii, as all actual evidence indicates, overly feverish imaginations notwithstanding.

Whatever we may personally think should be the case about the two-citizen NBC theory, we recognize that it isn't the law. We further recognize that no court is ever going to throw a sitting President out of office over parentage issues that were common knowledge when he ran for office, when he won a nation-wide election, and when Congress certified his election.

We don't generally think he's an actual tyrant. We think that's bed-wetting hysteria. He's a run-of-the-mill liberal Democrat, which some would call socialist, and he's pursuing things the Democratic Party has advocated for a long time. None of it is particularly shocking if you've been listening to what they say for the past 30 years. I voted against him for that reason, but there's nothing in the Constitution that says liberal Democrats can't win elections. It happens.

Far from being cavalier, I oppose most of Obama’s policies and actively work to get out the Republican vote every two years. You may sneer at that as you wish, but winning those battles is actually how government policies change. Screaming that the sky is falling every time we lose an election and then making up crazy stuff about the elected President doesn't accomplish anything.

We are simply calmer and more deliberate in our assessments. We know this country has survived far worse than this, some of us have sacrificed for our country in situations far worse than this, and we have more faith in this country. Take a deep breath and give it a try.
