re: “Whether it be Lawyer Levin, a self-proclaimed brilliant constitutionalist, or former Rock’n’Roll DJs Limbaugh and Hannity, they have refused to even look at Article II eligibility. They have refused to even consider it as a valid constitutional question. They have refused to urge the SCOTUS to do its job and accept an appeal on the matter. The issue, for them, does not exist.

Not one of them has even mentioned Sheriff Arpaio’s investigation as a news story. The issue: the false documentation; the forgery, does not exist for them.”

Not one word of the above is true regarding Rush or Levin. I can’t speak about Hannity because I don’t listen to him much. But, as for Rush, I’ve been a daily listener of his show since 1989 and I can tell you that both he and Levin HAVE spoken about Obama’s birth record problems - but after it became clear that none in the government or the media were going to do anything about it, why keep hammering Obama on that point? No one who COULD do anything about it will.

Rush and Levin did all they could to oppose Obama’s re-election. We all thought Obama would lose after all the crap he pulled prior to 2012, but conservatives did not pull together to stop his re-election. Many did not even vote because Romney was not the guy they wanted.

Romney, nor any other Republican candidate in the primary season was not acceptable to everyone’s liking - “Sarah was a quitter, Cain wasn’t smart enough, Perry was not really a conservative, Santorum wasn’t either, Newt had too much baggage, I’ll never vote for Romney” - these were the comments and threads on Free Republic all through the campaign season right up to the election - so the base did not turn out and now we’ve got what we’ve got.

I hope I am wrong, but I think the USA is a dead man walking. We are just going through the death throes.

As Rush has pointed out over and over, Obama, the first black president, is NEVER going to be impeached or removed from office by the powers that be. If, after birth certificate-gate, Benghazi-gate, IRS-gate, Obamacare-gate, Fast and Furious, and NSA-gate Obama is still not only in office, but his approval ratings are still in the high 40’s - the low informational voters, the Democrat machine, the liberal media, and the impotent GOP are NOT going to remove him.

The only play left (if you can call it that) is to increase some conservative gains in the House and possibly regain control of the Senate - for the purpose of stopping/slowing some of Obama’s agenda.

Unless Obama really somehow offends the low-info voter, he will remain in office. It absolutely sucks, but that’s how it appears to be going down.

Rusty, if you are satisfied with the job these talk radio fellows have done on the legitimacy issue, so be it. I spoke person-to-person about it with the redoubtable GGL, and his sense of the topic was in line with yours: i.e., that it was not worth speaking about because those that were empowered to handle it, wouldn't.

Recently I was on the air with Michael Medved, who acknowledged at least, the validity of the topic, as a topic! However, his take, again in accord with yours, was that it was a waste of time and might damage our chances of winning (although to whom "our" refers is another good question) in 2014.

I agree that the next two elections are absolutely vital to the preservation of the Republic, and that NOTHING should be done to jeopardize even slightly "our" chances of removing Team Obama from dominance in Congress.

Nonetheless, the issues remain. What is a citizen? What is a 'natural born Citizen?' Is the child of two (legal or)illegal aliens a citizen? A 'natural born Citizen?' The SCOTUS has abdicated on these issues. If 'Talk Radio' has any effect at all, shouldn't it be inspiring the listeners to urge the courts and officials to do their constitutional duty?

As missionaries converting non-believers, the talk jocks have been spectacularly UN-successful. In fact, it might be said that they don't even do a good job of preaching to the choir! E.G., In regard to the non-voting 'conservatives,' i.e., that 4 million or so of the electorate who abandoned the field to Obama in 2012: of what earthly political use is "Conservative Talk Radio" if can't even get "OUR" lo-info voters off the couch?

"Conservative Talk Radio" is commercial radio. Its purpose is to sell gold bars and trick mattresses to a well-defined audience. The 'gimmick?' The 'marketing hook?' Preaching to the choir; fussin' and fulminatin' like "conservatives" gathered 'round the bar at the VFW or Elks.

IMNSVHO, a political movement is not on sure ground when its self-proclaimed 'philosophers' are using the politics of the audience to sell them software, gold brick, and trick mattresses.
