As though to a child...
Yurt, here is what I posted:
"I have never cared about these kinds of issues, whether it was Bush's awol or Obama's birth. To me, they are distractions, and minutia; they are reasons partisans come up with to try to undermine Presidencies.
What if Obama wasn't born in the U.S....what then? Does Biden become President? Is the entire election declared void? Has anyone considered the implications of somehow proving he is not a citizen?
The thing is, I doubt very few of the people who are nuts about this really care about whether he is a citizen or not; many of them probably supported the "amend for Arnold" campaign. What they want is to de-legitimize Obama, and to undermine his Presidency, because they lost the election & are pissed about it..."
My main point, which has since been twisted by certain posters named Yurt, is that the fanatics on this issue should consider the implications of their pursuit. It's beside the point that Obama WAS BORN IN THE U.S. It's my opinion that, even if he wasn't, it would do some damage to America to expose that, and bring about an end (a Biden Presidency) which would serve almost no one. The people who are doing this, as I said, are doing so because they hate Obama, not because they care about the Constitution, and they would hate Biden as much.
You may not agree with this; that's fine. Me? I weigh the damage caused by something like this against "preserving the Consitution," and on the latter, it undermines the Consitution not at all if there is nothing to enforce.
Again, this is pragmatism. It does not mean that I de-value the Consitution, as you concluded, or that I think Obama shouldn't be deposed if it actually comes to light that he isn't a citizen; fighting to leave him in office at that point WOULD undermine the Consitution, in a big way.
In conclusion, fuck off with your BS conclusions about what you think I said, or how you think I see the Consitution, or whatever other extreme you want to take things to. You're a drama queen, with limited mental capacity, and very poor reading comprehension.
