To the left the state is there "god", to question its legitimacy is sanctimonious, to require proof is beyond the pale (you must immediately accept everything that there acolytes tell you without question) because they have belief in the state is so paramount to who they are that anyone dares questions there very faith, to question it's authority is to be a modern day heretic of the lowest order (a racist).

#12Write up an article and submit it to American Thinker, maybe check out how other people have analyzed it. Try and reach a conclusion: needs further analysis. (also I'd consider inserting it into my unofficial feed @amthinker as an admin note) I might just say that for O to come out so late in the piece with his long-form is in my view, poor character on his part, especially being a constitutional law professor.

I'd refute you but, like your comment, it would be off-topic for HN.

I'm not sure what the point of all this high-horse rhetoric you're putting out there is, but as an American citizen I think it's our duty to question and vet most of what our leaders say and do, even when we believe and agree. Without that vetting process, we invite a state of perpetual lies, because very few people in power will tell the truth when there is no consequence for telling a lie.
I don't think that taking the president and numerous government officials (who have little to gain by lying) at their word that Obama is a citizen is that much of a stretch of logic. If you think being called a racist for insisting that Obama is a foreign national is unwarranted, I'd ask when the last time you even considered such a thing about any president much less voiced it.
In the end, though, I firmly believe that Obama released this document for those in the center and center-right of the political spectrum, not for the hard-right who demanded to see it lest they initiate some kind of armchair revolution. Producing this document will not silence the far right, but the fact that it won't will push them further into the fringes in the view of mainstream Americans. They will appear unreasonable, unappeasable and extremist, all qualities that will slowly choke out their chances of claiming the White House.
