You call them nutbags, but can you chill out for a minute and tell me in a logical, non-sarcastic way why they are so called nutbags?
Because they believe something with no proof to back them up, and substantial evidence to suggest they are wrong...not to mention a lot of evidence to suggest there is no hidden proof out there. Ideology triumphing over reason is not a trait of a rational person.
His father is Kenyan, he has family in Kenya, he has relatives living here in the US illegally, it isn't illogical or irrational to ask what his place of birth was. Granted that it's not unusual for US citizens to have parents not born in the US, but the fact that the (leftist) Hawaii government sealed his records doesn't speak in confidence for Obama being a citizen, whether they sealed them for an innocent reason or not.
It's not irrational at all to ask what his place of birth was. But you got an answer, in fact you got it several times. And the fact that you refuse to believe that answer for no reason is what's irrational.
As much as it is rational to ask where his place of birth was, it is also rational to be suspect of a birth certificate when it isn't the original one.
For the record, I do not "believe" Obama is unqualified by law, given Hawaii's affirmation, but it would not surprise me at all if there was more to it. Consensus doesn't make fact, newspaper regurgitating something doesn't make it true. I've made peace with the fact that Obama will be the next president. While the left is happy to accept the copy of his birth certificate as proof and the leftist hawaii government saying it's real, it's not irrational nor unwarranted for his opposition to ask for the real thing.
Personally I dont' believe Obama has any agenda to subvert the US for some home nation, so this is non-issue for me, but I would be happy as a pig in poo if he could be legally prevented from being president, because I no faith he'll do the right thing for the US while in the white house.
