On Monday, the Supreme Court decided not to hear the Donofrio case concerning whether Barack Obama is a natural born citizen and therefore qualified to be President. Also, David Horowitz diagnosed those who claim Obama is not natural born as being afflicted with "Obama Derangement Syndrome." Horowitz told people to "shut up about the birth certificate." A bad day for those of us in tin-foil hats. Even Michelle Malkin is against us . Mr. Horowitz whizzes right by the issue of whether or not Obama is Constitutionally qualified. He simply says it doesn't matter. He asked, "What difference does it...

By refusing on Monday to hear a lawsuit challenging whether Barack Obama is indeed eligible under the Constitution to become the 44th president, the U.S. Supreme Court should have put to rest the fanciful rumors about the president-elect. Yet the justices' action will not end the fringe conspiracy-mongering.

A dissenting opinion came out in the afternoon. "This is the largest hoax perpetrated against the United States in 200 years," Philip Berg declared in a news conference at the National Press Club.

But the most compelling "conspiracy theory" from a woman in California: "it's reminiscent of the `German thing' - where ordinary, proud, conservative, responsible Germans suddenly realized that their livelihoods and perhaps their lives depended upon supporting a powerful `new order.' It was none other than Josef Goebbels who said that the way to take over a country by a relatively minute cabal of fascists was to gain control of two entities: the media and the armed forces. That's why we heard Obama promise a national police force that was just as well- funded and powerful as the U.S. military. "I...
