Since your short posting history consists exclusively of birther threads, it is understandable you would get the mistaken impression that Free Republic is a birther website. It's a conservative website. And since I still consider birtherism to be a political threat to advancing conservatism, I'll continue to comment when the inspiration strikes.

As are most of your comments and insights. The Threat to conservatism is those among us who tell people to "shut up" without hearing them out. No one would be paying any attention to this issue had it been dealt with forthrightly. It is the continuous use of deception and the invoking of legal technicalities to explain away something simple which ought not require explanation. You may have forgotten, but a man went to prison because the "precedent" didn't see fit to produce his document several years ago.
It was Obama's duty to put this issue to rest years ago. It was his duty to the troops who need to not wonder if their leader is illegitimate. It was his duty to the Nation, so we could concentrate on more important things. It was so simple and costless that it should have never been a matter of consequence, yet for some reason the man has refused to deal with it forthrightly. This is the behavior of a man with something to hide.
And you abet him.
