Consider this (also posted elsewhere):
I’m under the impression that most “birthers” simply want a release of documents—few if any claim to have absolute knowledge that Obama was born in Kenya or whatever.
This reveals the weakness of the opposing argument—they must attempt to paint “birthers” as a group making a false claim. In this way their argument is highly exaggerated.
Now, I’m not getting back specifically on what you just said, but I will in a bit (doing a bit of other posting first)... but I wanted to say that since the moderator got in this thread and said to *not get personal* — I think it’s about time to knock all that stuff off, too. It goes on over and over again, all the time.
And I know how to kick it right back as quick as anyone else, too... but there’s no use to all that.
It’s about time that everyone recognizes that most likely someone else’s opinion is not going to change and if one posts to another then it doesn’t have to be on the basis of troll or you support Obama and stuff like that. Believe me, I wouldn’t ever vote for the guy and sure didn’t. But, all these kinds of comments just serve to get the conversation in these posts spiraling downhill fast.
I’ve got my opinions and they’re based on *getting something done in real life* (which has been my emphasis from the beginning) rather than saying that someone is getting away with something that they don’t think should be done.
The bottom line is that you’re not going to change my opinion (most likely) and I’m not going to change yours either, but we should be able to talk about it rationally, and realize that you won’t like my ideas and I won’t like yours, but still realize that neither one of us voted for Obama...
Anyway, that’s my part, since the mods are saying to not get personal here... :-)
