I think suspicion of a conspiracy has been legitimate, up to this point. But with the release of what is apparently the genuine long-form birth certificate (until and unless anybody can prove - and I mean PROVE, NOT just speculate) that this is a fraud, the game changes significantly in my view.
Unfortunately, there are a lot of people whose minds are now so made up that they may not be swayed by even legitimate evidence. In that case, they run the danger of making those of us who have plenty of other good reasons to see want Obama collecting his Presidential pension look like nutjobs. IMO.

Unfortunately for the democrats. I know a former democrat who will never believe Obama is American. Too long to respond. As for republicans, there has always been a group of thought control freaks trying to supress curiosity. They are the ones who will harm conservatism more through their criticism of fellow conservatives.
