The secrets can come out ‘til the cows come home, but Americans couldn’t care less. Of course they matter to conservatives, but to the electorate as a whole, none of it resonates as to why it should matter.

Most voters care about whether they’re getting their piece of the pie. They comprehend little else.

Sadly, you’ve described my own daughter to a “tee.” She was arguing recently that it doesn’t matter if a President was born in another country or is not an American.

Sadly, your comment has the ring of truth. I had a family member tell me over the weekend that it "shouldn't matter" whether Obama was born in Kenya or not. When I pointed out that being born in a foreign country made that person constitutionally ineligible to be president, she put her hand on her hip and said "So?". She truly did not seem to have an issue with this!

What I'm trying to say here is that there are many citizens of our country who are incredibly ignorant about the founding of our nation because it's just not taught in schools anymore. To them, the Constitution of the United States means nothing and they couldn't tell you the first thing about it.
