I’ve had long arguments on this topic with other Freepers and didn’t see anyone called a traitor. Yes the Obama birth controversy is an emotional one. So I suppose some get carried away.
I very much appreciate your posting!
I used to be very sceptical over the “Obama is not a citizen” argument, but as I’ve learned more and watched him fillibuster the issue (which could be solved easily with a release of documents) ... well I’m not so sceptical anymore.
You must not have been paying attention. I and everyone on my ping list have been called traitors and much, much worse by birthers.
Not only have I been called a traitor, but I’ve been told that my two oldest kids who served in the military (both with tours in Iraq) should be ashamed of their father - who also served in the US Air Force for 25+ years (including Iraq and Afghanistan), and whose father served in the military for 27 (including WW2, Korea and dying in Vietnam).
That happened within hours of my first post (in 11 years) on a birther thread, saying that LTC Lakin would lose his case in a court-martial.
I’ve also given in to emotion, but it is easy to do when attacked in a very personal manner. One of my reasons for posting this thread is to try to remove some of the venom, and let folks honorably disagree with each other.
I disagree with birthers posting here on FR. I confess I hate many Democrats, whom I consider to truly be America-hating traitors, and that includes Obama. If that is harmful to my soul, then may God forgive me.
