Ok, fair enough. But how many times do you need to repeat —over and over again—the same ‘nay saying’ refrain?
We have heard you and heard you and heard you.
If you are sincere in your claims, do not kill off momentum and interest before this plays out. It’s mob psychology.
NONE OF US KNOW ENOUGH TO BE SURE OF ANYTHING AT THIS POINT.
We are in fact finding mode.
Stick to the facts without so much editorial negativity until more is known.
Then, if it is all a sham, you can rant and rave all you want—we will join together with you.
As the ‘de facto’ (not) genealogist in the courthouse in which I work, I know how this type of thing takes time. We have researchers who come to my office, quite often, who have gone through the vital records - birth, death, marriage - and come up empty. Sometimes that tiny bit of information that proves to be ‘the key’, is buried in a court document. It’s that one little thing - that odd spelling, the comment of a witness in the testimony, a date, a place - that unlocks the mystery. And it doesn’t happen right away. It is often just a clue but it leads to the vital piece of information they are looking for in vital records or other court documents. It’s a process.
In the search for Obama’s birth information, it is made more difficult because Ed and company must be careful what information they release. If he gives away too much, then the entire effort might be ruined. It’s really quite interesting to watch. I am not at all surprised at the pace in which it is progressing. I wish them luck - for the sake of our country and our Constitution.
Fair enough...fact finding.
So, let’s not get hysterical and start calling others names simply because they are dubious (and with good reason considering past attempts at the same thing) of the outcome.
If I’m an Obat operative, then Captain Kangaroo is a child molester.
Some of these obfuscators need to realize how poorly their attitude reflects on them. Being negative is the easiest thing in the world and when expressed constantly merely demonstrates a cynical and bitter world view at best or, quite possibly, that they have a liberal axe to grind here on FR. Keeping an open mind and working to stay positive takes a hell of a lot more effort than simply pooh-poohing challenging ideas.
