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.

What “actual evidence” are you talking about?
