I’m saying that it’s ridiculous for birthers to equate themselves with the Founding Fathers. The Founding Fathers respected and honored the law. They would never want the law to be manipulated for a political agenda. Do you really think that James Madison or Ben Franklin would support the likes of Orly Taitz?

I spend a significant amount of time trying to convince birthers to stop perpetuating demonstrably false rumors that make the rest of us look like idiots. (e.g. Barack Obama’s first Executive Order, 13489; 1981 Pakistan Travel Ban; etc.)

I also make a concerted effort to convince birthers that Dr. Orly Taitz is not their friend. She has manipulated and used her clients, some military personnel, for her political agenda. And despite passing the CA bar exam, she demonstrates all the competence of a dentist/real estate agent posing as a legal scholar.

For that, I’m labeled a troll. So be it. I know where I stand on Obama’s eligibility and I’ve never waivered on that position.

Funny, I didn't read any of that stuff posted on this thread.

Now you're changing the subject and deflecting...you ridiculed the article then say you agree with it, then you wonder why some think you're a troll.

You should know by now that, as a movement, the birthers seem far too busy attacking any and all dissent, attacking every conservative icon who doesn't tow the line; to actually police themselves over ludicrous definitions of what it takes to be a natural born citizen (child of two natural born citizens, for example), talking about a non existent “travel ban”, etc, etc.

And yes, pointing out that there was not a “travel ban” on Pakistan or that Oreally Taintz wasn't the best lawyer, would (and probably still will) get you labeled a troll. They simply don't seem to want to hear it.

Not only does it make the rest of us look like idiots, but it also makes birthers look like they're motivated by hate rather than the discovery of truth. One can't claim to want the truth and then perpetuate "demonstrably false rumors" AND remain credible.
