The left came up with the term “birther” as an insult. But as I said at the time, I don’t think that will work for them.
The word “Quaker” was originally insult, because the Quakers said that they “came before the Lord in fear and trembling.” It’s not an insult now.
As the issue remains alive, and as it becomes evident to more and more people that Obama is hiding EVERYTHING about himself, birther will begin to take on respectability.
Exactly the opposite is true of the names liberals choose for themselves. They ran the word “progressive” into the ground earlier, until everyone recognized that it meant Communist, if not Stalinist. So they started calling themselves liberals. Now they’ve run that word into the ground, and they’ve resurrected the world progressive. Won’t be long before they run that into the ground again.
In other words, what you DO is more important what you are called, after people have enough time to understand what’s going on.
I am a birther! Didn’t hurt me one bit to say it. In fact, I’m proud of it. Why doesn’t a liberal want to be called a liberal? I’m a conservative and proud to be called that. I’m a birther/bitter/clinger and proud to be called all!!
I'm not sure the world at large is quite ready for "Birther Oats," but the phrase may find narrow acceptance and marketing utility amongst the in vitro fertilisation industry.
I've seen the term "dem/lib/prog/pops" used to describe the rabid left. Works for me!
