I have been thinking about what you have to believe to be a birther. It must be hard to keep your head in it.
You have to believe that Obama’s Mother was crazy. You have to believe that she was quite pregnant and willingly flew to Kenya. She had to fly for something like two days on two or three different airlines. She had to fly like 3 segments on PanAm and 2 or 3 on East African Airways.
She had to willingly go from the beauty and serenity that is the paradise of Hawaii for the heat and humidity, not to mention not knowing a soul there besides her husband. From a hospital that she knew, to one in a far corner of Africa that she hadn’t heard of. She had to be completely illogical.
Then, after giving birth, she had to have the foresight to call back to Hawaii and have them lie about the location of birth for the birth announcement in the paper. She had to lie to get Barack a birth certificate. She had to do all of this so that Barack would be a citizen? Nope. He would have had a very easy time of establishing US citizenship, being born to an American. She had to be thinking that she wanted her African-American child be a natural-born citizen, the only advantage of which is the ability to be eligible to be President of the United States. And she would have had to assume that her African-American child would be able to be President, as the Civil Rights Act wouldn’t be passed for several years.
In short, she would have had to believe in the impossible and have done the implausible. Is this what Crazy Eileen believes? Is this what the rest of these birthers believe? That sort of belief can only be borne of hate. There really is no other explanation.
