One point I have to state is how funny all this is. When retired Generals complained about things against Bush it was valid and taken seriously. When retired Generals complain about things against Obama it's dismissed outright. As a Libertarian I find that hypocritical.

Not hypocrtical in the least. When generals complained about Bush on things such as the war, it mattered because their opinion fell under their realms as generals. However, a Major General's rank means nothing (outside of publicity) when approaching a court-case to establish the legitimacy of a President.
That's my two-cents, as a libertarian (what a nonsense statement).

OK, Moderators why is this allowed to continue?
This member dankai continues to post (false) information in this and other threads and never even addresses the evidence that refute the claims he's making.
I'm not against him starting a thread with what he considers newsworthy, but why is he (and others) allowed to continue spreading these lies and misinformation regarding the birth certificate?
Isn't this a violation of the T&C?

I understand that some people might post certain things thinking they are true, but member dankai and others continue to spread these lies after the evidence to the contrary being shown to them on numerous threads now.
Not only does he not discuss the evidence being presented, he apparently doesn't even acknowledges it, as seen so far in this thread.
How is this denying ignorance?

I think we need to hear it straight from Obama.
Has he spoken on this issue?
Lots of ways to do that. No?
Internet - TV - Radio?
He is such a good communicator.
This should be an easy one.
Shouldn't it?

Are you joking??? The same argument can be said of you and others that voice the same viewpoint you have. There are lawsuits across the country regarding this topic.

How's this for a worthy candidate in this matter? AND HE'S A MAJOR GENERAL! I wonder how much disrespect I'll read from military persons on here now.
He is not a Major General. He was a Major General. He is retired now. His status either before or now does not somehow add weight to the faux controversy. And given the fact he is retired means he has no standing in demanding this.
Now THAT is plan disrespectful. One still holds the title even after they are retired. Even former Presidents are referred to as Mr. President after they are no longer in office. That man will be a Major General until he leaves this earth.

All this tells me is that it's somewhat frightening the degree to which the extreme right has infiltrated our military.
I know rightists tend to be prone to militarism, but we need to watch out for these people, lest we find ourselves facing a military coup by Neo Nazis.
It wouldn't be the first time the extreme right tried to do away with American democracy: read about the Business Plot, a conspiracy to overthrow FDR and install a military government.
Fortunately it was exposed and foiled by a very patriotic and courageous Marine, Major General Smedley Butler, AKA "The Fighting Quaker."

Are you this dense, or pretending(?), that you don't even understand what image my post addressed?
I was talking about this post, that's why that in my response post I quoted and linked the exact image I was responding to.
