Total BS. The birth certificate is valid and authenticated by the proper authorities.
Your claim that our belief that it is valid is a "phenomenon that so many of you are so desperate to protect the privacy of the President" is without any fact, foundation or evidence. You show your political biased ideology with "you haven't demonstrated any such passion about any other public figures,most particularly conservative ones".
What passion? What tactic to protect the President's privacy.
What privacy is anyone trying to protect?
You are chasing your own tail.
I need evidence to have suspicions. You may not but those suspicions without any evidence do not lend one ounce of credibility to your or anyone's argument.
Rumor, gossip, innuendos and suspicions are not valid or credible anywhere.
I never said the Certification of Birth is not valid. I am not the least bit concerned about the Certification of Birth. I am curious, however, about what is on the Birth Certificate that we are not allowed to see and nobody is allowed to tell us.
Being curious and having suspicions are two separate things, but one does follow the other. When curiosity goes unanswered, it can breed suspicions.
And I'm not chasing anybody's tail. I am calling you a hypocrite, however, if you say you have never been curious about a public figure, have not wondered if rumors were true, would refuse to look if interesting information was made available to you. I can say with a great deal of certainty that you didn't think President Bush was entitled to keep secret interesting things in his private life and you didn't think those who went digging for information were off base. He was President of the United States! As such we were entitled to know a great deal about him.
Will you say now that you have no curiosity whatsoever about those hidden areas of President Obama's life? Are you the one person on the planet who is devoid of curiosity of things like that? Don't bother to answer because if you say 'no', I already knew that. And if you say 'yes' you will be seen as dishonest.
Now if you have nothing further to contribute here, this circular argument is becoming quite tedious and I will choose not to engage further in it. Do have a great day.
