It’s not Prof Mel who’s opposed to electing conservatives—it’s Papa Alinsky.
You do come across as a Concern Troll. Why not leave eligibility threads alone, since you’ve suggested they’re misguided. You can do the important work of electing conservatives, and leave eligibility issues to those who think they matter to the Constitution.
How about not making stuff up about me and putting words into my mouth?
I DO think these issues are important in terms of the Constitution, but we can investigate quietly. I’d happily donate to a fund to get a real investigation going that stayed quiet until they actually have results.
It’s the LOUDNESS that is the problem. Being quiet about our investigation has little drawback - even if Obama comes up with a birth certificate, there’s no backlash. If we run around screaming “BIRTH CERTIFICATE!!11!!!” with no hard evidence, we do nothing more than add the risk of looking like utter fools and blowing our chance at taking the Senate and the White House in 2012. We don’t have to take that risk to prove issues about Obama’s birth certificate. The “loud” approach is incredibly risky without much benefit, and it’s enough to convince me that the Donald is basically working for Obama.
