**Biggirl** , that almost killed me, I swear. I’m seriously sitting here wheezing and wiping tears out of my eyes. Bizarre dry humor just gets me. ---

> [@BrainGlutton](#): > > They can’t deny Obama is the people’s choice, so they’re seeking some other way to pre-emptively delegitimize his presidency. Oh, I get it - it’s so that whatever he does they think is wrong, even if he showered ten million copies of his birth certificate from every rooftop, they can say, “Oh, well, he’s not really supposed to be President anyway, the American people were suckered, certificates of live birth mean nothing, only a guilty man would spend almost a million bucks to hide his past, conspiracy of silence, etc. etc. etc.” That’s sort of clever, in a twisted way. ---

Nonsense, being a conservative isn’t a moral defect, long as you keep it to yourself, and don’t try to inflict it upon the helpless. ---
