    Default Is it any wonder some people think the Tea Party is a bunch of Mad Hatters?

    Donald Trump, I thought, rather bravely took a stand on the birth certificate issue and, surprisingly, the president caved when he had not before.

    But that isn't good enough for some people. The Tea Party, in Arizona has convinced the local Sheriff there is cause to investigate the authenticity of that long from document.

    Agreed, if it did prove to be faked, it would be a scandal of historic proportions and probably lead to annulment of every bill OweBama signed.

    I just have a hard time buying into the idea of a fake birth certificate. It require a massive conspiracy with too many people involved who would stand to benefit in the millions if they revealed it.

    MARICOPA COUNTY, Ariz. – At the request of tea party leaders in Arizona, famed Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio has promised to investigate the validity of Barack Obama's purported long-form birth certificate in a determination of the president's eligibility for the county's 2012 election ballot.

    Tea party leaders in Surprise, Ariz., met with Arpaio and WND senior reporter Jerome Corsi Thursday morning to express concern that a fake birth certificate would be used to document the president's eligibility to run in Maricopa County, where Arpaio is the chief law enforcement officer.

    Arpaio's tough crackdown on illegal immigration has made him a national figure.

    At a one-hour meeting in Arpaio's office, the tea party leaders presented the sheriff with a petition that was drafted after a speech by Corsi the previous night. Corsi, author of a best-selling book challenging Obama's eligibility, "Where's the Birth Certificate?", presented evidence from numerous computer-imaging specialists who believe the document presented by the White House April 27 is not authentic.

    When they call you racist, they mean they lack the intelligence, intellect, and composure to examine facts and engage in actual debate on the topic.

    It's a call for national suicide, which looks pretty crazy to the reality based community.....

    Just because they're not the sharpest tacks in the box doesn't mean we have to think they're crazy.

    Or maybe this:

    Poll: Most Tea Party Supporters Say Their Taxes Are Fair - Political Hotsheet - CBS News
    Yet while some say the Tea Party stands for "Taxed Enough Already," most Tea Party supporters - 52 percent - say their taxes are fair, the poll shows.
    Liberals fail to recognize that modern conservatives are direct evidence of the failure of the public education system.

    It is funny, but apropos of absolutely nothing.

    The average conservative voter is just as clueless.

    A fake birth certificate? I find it hard to believe in this day of unlimited ability to communicate, and investigate, that someone who worked for those plutocrats who hate Obama, could not find evidence of an absolute nature. I am not a fan of Obama, although I stupidly voted for him, but come on, how asinine of his opponents to grab hold of this for so long, and when it looks to be resolved, some shmuck of a 3rd rate politician wastes the time, energy, and funds on another quest for the "Holy Grail" of presidential destuction.

    National suicide? So now we don't speak truth to power because it's national suicide? I am assuming that you think the Nixon thing would have been better left alone?
