Re: Crazy Birther Conspiracies....

JD - as stated before, I do not believe the "birther" controversy is worthy of any further discussion.
However, I am intrigued by those who wish to paint anyone who is a birther as driven by hate and paranoia.
This maybe true for 1% of the birthers, but not for the movement.
What I believe drives them is their opinion that almost everything this administration has done is an effort to weaken the nation.
In their effort to understand this, they have decided that the only way this could be is if the President owes his loyalty to another nation/cause.
So, this admin tries to paint them as "racist".
Believe me, if Herman Cain, Condoleezza Rice, or Allen West were President these people would be supporting them.
So, quit trying to paint this as a racial issue.

Re: Crazy Birther Conspiracies....

There was a question of where Obama was born, because his dad is not an American and they had, while his mother was pregnant, left the nation.

That is a legitmate question not having to do with his skin color or the religion of his daddy

Re: Crazy Birther Conspiracies....

I sincerely believe that THREE OR MORE YEARS AGO, when the issue was brought up, it was just an example of dirty politics reaching for straws.

Since it has been OVER THREE YEARS since the matter has been proven by Mr. Obama himself, those with national access who bring it up do so as a way of stirring up groundless suspicion-- playing on the paranoia and hate of some weaker minded Ameicans.

Hate is not always about race.
So stop assuming that my assertion is ONLY ABOUT RACE-- it is not.




I have already stated that I didn't believe the HATE was not all racially motivated-- especially by the national talking heads who continue to try to use this to score points with the paranoid and hateful weaker minded people in this country, who may have racial hate feelings towards our President.
