former iraq war top commander tommy franks famously called don rumsfeld's neocon undersecretary doug feith "the fucking stupidest guy on the face of the earth".
with all due respect to feith, general franks obviously had yet to meet a birther.
because if the birthers have one blessed and perhaps even congenital gift, it is their therapeutically short memories. as long as their versions of events remain superhumanly impervious to documented fact, birthers remain steadfastly convinced of being just one crucial game-changing step away from total victory, no matter how elusive the goal or crushing the setback. thus their ever-changing milestones remain ever simple and never discouraging, thanks to their never-boring calvinball rules, as illustrated in this short trip down birther (repressed) memory lane ...
about one of the early supreme court filings:
all we need to do is make enough noise so that justice thomas and the rest of the court knows that i am coming to the us supreme court with my proper papers. (nov 12 2008)
after one of the first supreme court denials:
all that is necessary is for one lowly judge to issue a preliminary injunction on either the electoral college casting its votes, or them being certified by the congress, or the issuance of an oath of office to 0bama. once that happens, all hell will break loose! (dec 8 2008)
all we need is for a couple of good senators and congresscritters to stand up in the legislature and demand to see barry’s vault birth certificate. and I think there are a few there who will be willing to do so. (dec 8 2008)
after the electoral vote count:
actually, all we need is a single judge to allow one of these cases to be heard. at which point, 0bama’s defense would be requested to show the vault copy.
this is why ALL these lawsuits have been dismissed without being heard. that in itself should show you something. all these judges, and none of them tries to resolve the issue with the most common sense approach.
just goes to show how the judges are all lefties. find a right leaning judge and get this case before him/her... then MAYBE there would be hope of the us constitution (dec 16 2008)
eight minutes before congress certified the vote:
that’s the only thing i’m hoping for. at least ONE person with enough guts to at least broach the subject. i’m not under any misconception of hope that it will change today’s outcome in certifying the vote, but if at least ONE representative, or senator brings it up at least it’ll be in the record. (jan 8 2009)
after yet another supreme court denial:
all we need an attorney who is willing to guide us on how to proceed. (jan 26 2009)
on the publication of a cranky letter to the usurper by a retired serviceman:
so all we need is a couple of active military generals to sue under the same grounds. it would stick in court and they would have to review the presidents status as a natural born citizen. (mar 27 2009)
and on yet another appeal:
anyone serving in congress (see “congress” in bold in exhibit A)can DEMAND that their oaths be met by receiving proper “qualifying” documentation from mr. obama. ... all we need is ONE official from the above listing to press the case forward. one. (may 4 2009)
after the third "indictment" from one of several self-anointed "citizens' grand juries":
however, it is highly unlikely that not even one jurisdiction will take action on the indictment. all we need is one jurisdiction to order "Discovery." the case against AKA OBAMA is unique because it will be over in the Discovery phase, as the first step in a criminal complaint. the goal of the project is to discover what AKA OBAMA doesn't want us to know, and why he doesn't want us to know it. our goal will be achieved without a trial. (may 5 2009)
for the upcoming supreme court nomination fight:
if there were one, just one republican senator with an ounce of fiber sitting on the judiciary committee in review obama's choice for supreme court justice, he could bust this matter wide open and force the mainstream media to carry the matter in a serious way.
a few questions concerning the nominee' s views on the meaning of the natural born citizen clause, whether the court has jurisdiction over the matter, what the elements of standing should be, what remedies, if any, are available outside of the supreme court, are all legitimate questions which the nominee ought to respond to. (may 16 2009)
for the 2012 elections:
all we need is one state refusing to put him on the ballot in the next election and feces will impact the air circulation device. (may 15 2009)
when OBAMA is not reelected we Prosecute him for shredding the Constitution and derelection of DUTY in protecting this nation. and if that’s not enough what about TREASON.
we can play hardball too.
if the judges don’t comply, impeach them and put in strict constructionists.
all we need to do is get a substantial majority in both Houses and the White House.
prosecuting political crimes works BOTH WAYS!!
are we angry ENOUGH and do we have the BALLS to do it?? (apr 22 2009)
thankfully, when you're a a birther, you can never lose and you never have to ask for too much ...
