<DIV>By the time this is posted, hopefully Lance will have been able to read my
response to John on the matter of the president's birth certificate. Yes, it is
a requirement for the job, its very explicitly stated in the Constitution, and
yes, his birth in Hawaii (a part of the United States since long before he was
born) is well documented, which is why its not a big deal at all.</DIV>

<DIV>I recently ran across this post by a Vietnam Veteran from Texas, who is
part of an online discussion group I participate in when things get too quiet at
GCFL:</DIV>

<P>I live in north Texas. I'll be sixty two years old a week from
today. I'm a welder that occasionally goes out to sites and does repairs
for folks. All of this seems to be what is required to find the
conservatives that are more conservative than most.</P>
<P>This week I learned that Tuesday the asshole in the Whitehouse has initiated
the dismantling of the U.S. Marines. He wants to replace our military with
contractors that report only to the Whitehouse. Hitler and the night of
the long knives came up twice in that conversation.</P>
<P>I also learned the reason Clinton left a surplus was because he shut down a
majority of the bases and all of the factories making stuff like tanks and flak
jackets. That's why our troops had to buy their own flak jackets and weld
up armor on their humvees.</P>
<P>I was also told that we, him and me, could stop the oil leak in the Gulf if
we were given the responsibility to do so. All it takes to stop it would
be to put a smaller pipe in the bigger pipe that's leaking and then inflate a
rubber donut to make the seal. But Obama doesn't want to stop the oil
leak. He's in cahoots with BP and they want the oil spill.</P>
<P>These guys are serious. I believe they believe what they say. But
my gawd, where do they get this stuff?</P>
<P>I understand the racists. They hate people of other races because of
the color of their skin. I understand some conversatives and most
libertarians because they have a distorted vision of the world. But I'm
having a little difficulty with appreciating those who don't have a clue about
what they're saying and the sources they depend upon to support their irrational
positions.</P>
<P>Most of the time I do my best to correct some of them. But when I run
into a real nutcase I have to just smile and say, "I voted for Obama and think
he's the best thing since sliced bread. You and me are going to have to
agree to disagree. Let's change topics."</P>

if anyone wants to peruse it further. If you look at my older posts, I had some
fun debating a sincere supporter of gay marriage, not so much that I really care
to oppose it, but I care a lot that there is no constitutional right to it at
all. If a majority of voters in a state choose to extend official recognition of
the community to same-sex marriages, they can. If they don't, too bad, everyone
still has a right to privacy.</P>
