I think these guys keep pro-Birthers honest, they force us to sharpen and internalize our arguments and our facts, and they force us to do independent study.
They also generate a terrific amount of passion and energy on the pro-Birther side.
Emotions get heated, some comments are insulting or kooky, but, in general, every time we take these guys on, the pro-Birthers get a little smarter and a little more convincing.

The only problem with that — is that the only thing that is actually *happening* is the posting and arguing and “sharpening up” of posts and answers and so on...
That just doesn’t get anywhere substantial, and that’s been the problem with this issue from the beginning.
The reason why I proposed the state law to require a candidate to show his birth certificate or else he couldn’t be on the ballot (did that starting right after the election) — was that this was something that *will work*... and it still is...
So, my posting has been about the reason *why* the birth certificate has not been shown. There is no legal requirement for it to be shown. When you get right down to that reality — then — you know what the next step is. And that next step is to *get that state law*.
BUT, I’ve had people here on Free Republic post that there is no reason to get a state law like that — and presumably they just want to keep right no posting here and making the same statements, because they think that they don’t need a state law. Well, whatever they’re doing *is not working* — plain and simple...
I agree.
The discussions on this issue, as well as, any issue near and dear to conservatives needs robust antagonists to improve our debating tactics and the expression of our positions.
