There are two major currents swirling in American politics today. I'm just too old and tired to navigate them both at the same time. So I'm going to flip a coin.
Heads, the topic will be the Harvard professor who was arrested for breaking into his own house. Tails, it will be the lunatic fringe conservatives who still insist that Barack Obama is not an American citizen and therefore cannot be president of the United States.
Here goes. (Flip)
Okay, it was tails, so let's keep it short and sweet. Fact: President Barack Obama was born in the United States and is an American citizen. That's it. However...
If conservatives, like that barking baboon of a woman who was allowed into Republican Congressman Mike Castle's recent town-hall meeting, want to try and make yardage with that argument then by all means let them run with the ball. Please.
The public at large needs to know about these people, like that soldier who thinks he can dodge military duty because he hasn't seen his Commander in Chief's birth certificate (as noted on FOX News). Remember, son, you're still serving your country even when you're breaking rocks.
You know who wasn't born in America? John McCain. He was born in Panama. And the 18 percent of Americans who still believe that the sun revolves around the earth (or that Adam and Eve rode around on dinosaurs) undoubtedly voted for him anyway. With their support, and U.S. citizenship, he lost.
It's not too hard to see that a good chunk of the conservative movement is stark raving mad, and that such is becoming a serious drag on the Republican Party, but I say America needs those people. I want cameras in their contorted faces and microphones down their throbbing throats.
It will keep us safe from them for at least another generation.
