A very good question indeed
When Did Americans Turn into a Bunch of Raving Lunatics?
This is the most frightening thing I have heard in a very long time: According to a poll conducted by the Daily Kos, which I fervently hope is wrong, 28 percent of Republicans believe that President Obama is not an American citizen. Another 30 percent are undecided. A wider survey to be released tomorrow takes that 58 percent of potential “birthers” nationwide up to nearly 70 in Virginia alone. And this is not in dispute: Ten Republican congressmen have now signed on to a bill demanding that Obama prove his citizenship.
If a majority of our conservative population and that much of its elected leadership think that even some of this “birther” stuff is remotely possible, some very dark times may be heading to this country. </em>
Ya think? Think maybe the stupid among us have too much of a voice in our national debate? Are the rational going to have to start carrying a 2×4 with which to smack these fantasy-dwelling nitwits into reality? Can we even hit them hard enough for that to happen?
Nah, probably not. But chide them all we want, these folks vote, reproduce and apparently, sit in Congress. Scary, scary stuff.
