Your post explains quite clearly why the birther nonsense needs to go away.
The problem is worse than just the birther nonsense. Check out this post I made earlier, when I posted an article basically calling for conservatives to stop the theatrics, the yelling obscenities at Congressmen, and so forth. The response has been a resounding vote for idiocy and irrelevancy. I am frankly both shocked and ashamed that so many supposedly "conservative" FReepers would be so incensed that somebody would ask them to rely on reason and argument instead of the rhetorical equivalent of leaving a burning bag of dog poo on their Congressman's doorstep.
