Obama and the Birthers...

Today, Obama presented his long form birth certificate.  I feel sad about it.  Why do we have to give in to the bullies?  Is this the Twilight Zone where up is down and black is white?

The media fanned the flames of this ridiculousness when it gave the 'birther' supporters an equal platform with other news of the day - war, famine, genocide, etc. 
Now, they act all righteous and angry that this story has been given traction - they're the ones who gave it traction. 
I don't understand how they don't know that.
And why aren't they ashamed for their complicity?

The Republican Party Chairman chastised Obama for bringing this up when there are so many other problems in America.
But, it's from the Republican Party and their right-wing co-horts that all the nonsense was brought up.
I don't understand how he doesn't know that.
And why isn't he ashamed for his complicity?

It doesn't make sense for reasonably intelligent people to honestly believe some of the things they're saying.
I'm not talking about opinions, I'm talking about debates and arguments to defend positions.

There's something else going on here.

America is run by bankers and media moguls.

They've created a world that isn't even real so they can continue their backroom shenanigans without interference.  Us 'regular' folk are distracted by the fake world, so the people with money can move their puzzle pieces without interference. 

I've never felt so much like I'm living in a science fiction movie as I do now. 
Listening to news of the day seems eerily like the beginning of many of the post-apocalyptic movies I've seen where they're describing the events leading up to...whatever apocolypse it is.  Gas prices rising, wars and revolutions all over the world, economies failing, hurricanes, earthquakes, tornadoes. 

I suppose the people who believe in biblical prophecy about the end times and Revelations are getting pretty excited.

Maybe they're right.

Sigh.

This post reads like I believe that Obama releasing his birth certificate is the beginning of the end of the world.
No...the regular folks will win in the end - I believe in the power of Love to overcome the power of fear.  Sometimes it just takes a long time.
