(1) At the time of the November 4 election, Obama’ eligibility was unknown to the majority of the American electorate. That is, the vast majority of the American electorate did not know whether Obama was eligible to become the President of the United States (POTUS).
Furthermore Obama’s eligibility remains unknown, even to Americans who are very interested in this question, and have inquired deeply into it. When asked in court to produce evidence of his eligibility, Obama has declined to do so, even in the face of the considerable time, expense and trouble that is needed to avoid providing this evidence. Thus, the US citizenry did not know on November 4 if Obama was eligible, and they still do not know.
(2) Among the US citizenry are the following: The current POTUS The current VPOTUS & President of the Senate The US Supreme Court The US Congress The Senior Staff of the Pentagon The Senior Staff of the Federal Elections Commission The Members of the Electoral College
To best of my knowledge, none of these individuals have officially and publicly declared Obama to be eligible to be POTUS. They have not produced or provided sufficient evidence to prove this eligibility.
(3) The news media, television, radio, and the Internet transmit huge amounts of information each day. However, to the best of my knowledge the eligibility of Obama to be POTUS is not known by the general public (See Note 1).
Method of formal logic (4) Until and if that dissemination occurs, there is a method of formal logic that can be applied to this situation. It is called the Categorical Syllogism, and was described by Aristotle (Prior Analytics, 24b18-20). Ordinarily, a categorical syllogism is simply called a syllogism, as I shall do here.

gotta hope that “BIRTHERs” not smothered by “national security purposes”-eligibility matter is more weighty than DANNY WILLIAMS... and an African-American PROSTITUTE....
You didn't ask about truth, you asked "what...is the reality of life?"
But anyway, there is no 'true' or 'false' physicality, it just 'is'. If you're talking morality, then idealism (probably what you equate with 'truth') represents an illusion--maybe something to strive for--but still an illusion. The whole history of civilization proves that.
Post #121 is where the "conversation" started.
You seem to have something against truth. Again, I repeat myself, that is very sad for you.
So we come full circle. Back to your pie-in-the-sky idea.
I don’t have anything against truth. I have a thing against lack of proportion.
It boils down to:
Beating this dead horse of an issue makes us look like a bunch of kooks that can’t win in the arena of ideas.
If you think fighting to uphold the constitution is beating a dead horse, then step away while others do the work. If it is such a dead horse, don't bother responding on the threads, mind your "own" business and let others do the work.
Talking to you is beating a dead horse, so this will be my last response to you on the subject.
I do think it is a non-issue and a waste of time, and reserve the right to express that, especially when it’s taking time, energy, and resources away from fighting important issues.
