The Orly Taitz infusion

Day by day we as Americans are bombarded with news, opinions, and editorials. Some of these are well done, in fact most of the comments made come from well meaning persons that have disagreements yet have the civility and the good sense to argue with facts. This is not the case with the Birther Nation lead in part by a dentist named Orly Taitz. Some of you may not know the name; she is the one that is leading this absurdity that President Barack Obama is not a citizen of the United States, and by law is not permitted to run and there fore can not be the legitimate representative of our country.

Dr. Taitz is also the one who advised a "military man" not to go to Iraq because of the same reason as above resulting in this person's loss of a Pentagon position. Both of these people are in a word mindless (okay I could have said a much stronger word ...but this is a discourse not an ad attack). The reason that I am writing this blog piece is to draw attention not to the rantings of a deranged individual, but to point out and declare that we are not as free as we believed we were. There is a portion of this Nation which lives in the fantasy that their color gives them certain unalienable rights: White is right. There are those who actively support the overthrow of this administration. And, finally the future of who we are as a people on the world stage is in jeopardy. Why? Because the lack of tolerance within shows everyone the types of persons we are and that is not a good thing. For far too long we have dealt with the race problem, it is 2009 and we must move forward lest as Dr. King would suggest: we will all perish as fools.

The birther movement retards the issues that are too important to the life of all of us. It serves as a distraction to the larger issues of the country and the world we live in. And the only people that benefit are the adversaries that grow stronger as we grow weaker. I sent a comment to this group on their web site; you can find it under the title's name. You will get another site because in their words they were "hijacked" what ever that means! I told them of my blog and invited them to engage, defend their position (if they can) and state the reason, the real reason for their opposition. In my heart I know they will not do so, not because it is me but because their position is not sustainable. Yet I still have hope. But as for all of us we need to flood their site not with words of negativity, but inquiry, until one of two things happen: they stop or admit their real agenda -- to forestall any real movement on behalf of the American people, that their mission is to be so obtuse and obstructionist that the political will of official Washington will grind down to the gridlock for which it is famous. My brothers and sisters: do not let this happen. Write and write often. Later
