Of course criticism of Obama isn’t Obama Derangement Syndrome. We need to be right on his heels for the next 4 years, criticizing what he’s doing wrong. But at the same time, we can’t get distracted by nonsense like the whole certifitruther controversy.

I agree. Unfortunately, I'm detecting in outlets like Pajamas Media, as well as folks like David Frum, a tendency towards the spineless - any forceful opposition to Obama constitutes ODS, so we have to "redefine" a softer, nicer conservatism. We need to oppose Obama at every turn, as forcefully as we can, because we have truth and reason on our side. We need to do so because Obama is wrong - flat, simply, undeniably wrong - in the things he and his cohorts are trying to do. They will destroy the country if left unhindered. Rush is right - I want Obama to fail too, because Obama is trying to destroy our constitutional, capitalistic, politically-free system of government and life, and I hope and pray that his efforts fail miserably.

Won't happen, though, if conservatives get suckered into the David Frum approach of playing footsie with a guy who really is trying to change America at its core.

I agree to a point. Still I think it would be an enormously effective ploy for one state that's controlled by Republicans passed and signed a law before 2012 that a place on their presidential ballot requires proof of eligibility. Who could ever argue with such as simple and prudent requirement? I don't believe Obama is ineligible to be president, but there is no doubt there is something very damaging about the circumstances of his birth or paternity he will do anything to hide. Just imagine how delicious it would be if Obama decided to forgo a place on the Mississippi presidential ballot, rather than simply produce a birth certificate. And wouldn't it be nice if just one person granted an interview would ask "why won't you produce a birth certificate rather than litigate? Are you hiding something?"
