Yeah, make sure it’s backed by some right-wing blogs. They never lie, mislead or deceive.

Or, make sure it’s backed by your expert opinion on how fresh and new a birth certificate should look.

Or make sure it’s backed by a crazy lawyer who files nutty lawsuits because… he’s a nut.

And also make sure it’s backed by “what you hear.”

Factcheck. Ha!

afx114,

John is not a troll. He’s not here to enjoy himself by stirring things up (which is what a troll is, correct me if I’m wrong). He truly believes all this stuff, and he thinks he’s informing others.

So normally the correct response, in my opinion, would be to counter his claims with facts, evidence, reason and logic. Well, I’ve tried that and it doesn’t work on John. He believes whatever he wants, regardless of any and all evidence to the contrary. That’s true of an unfortunately large number of people.

To me, it’s an important lesson, and one I’ve learned from John: There are a lot of people who think like he does, and there’s nothing you can do about it.

I don’t know about you, sdnativeson, but I’m tired of hijacking this thread. You and I having a pissing contest really has no place on this forum. My bad for starting it. I’ve posted my response to your last post on Blaine’s Cyber Soapbox (link below). It’s under the title “continuation of pissing contest.” If you want to continue, respond to my post on that page.

That wouldn’t be a bad place for any of these political, off-topic threads. It used to be a pretty hopping place with lots of smart people, but it’s pretty dead now. Politics and religion (and pissing contests) are perfectly acceptable subjects there. Maybe we can spice it up again.
